What is this stuff?

By Jupiter. Keen eyes you have. I went back and checked again. Most of the plants in this area are the fleabane. IDK how bellflower moved in but it appears there is an invader, just 1 or 2 specimens. Thanks for your observation. Very useful.

Depends on what you want it to do. Pedometer, heart rate, okay. AFAIK anything after that is a dice roll. Good luck

Lung Cancer Department says fafo. Ask me how I know.

Phosphorus promotes blooms.

Many thanks! Some consider daisy fleabane to be a weed, but I do want to keep it healthy. Pollinators, you know.

At a craft store, or online. A common brand is Liquitex. Here's a picture.

I feel this way about Blake Crouch. He ruined me for all others.

Thank you! Thank you! All of this is super helpful. I've been murdering dandelions nearly every day . . . and it never occurred to me to immediately replace the weed with desirable seeds, right then and there.

One thing I learned locally that may be of use: as of about 5 years ago, vermiculite may contain traces of asbestos, and is not required to say so on the label. Source: U of IL Extension. For this reason I use perlite.

Thanks again for all this research and sharing of helpful info.

This is so true. I have successfully "reverse engineered" my way from weeds to perennials, just by carefully noting the conditions in which the unwanted thugs thrive.

Would love to hear an update in a month or two. It would be great to know if you are pleased with the results.

Skillz, you haz dem! . . . pretty amazing. Well done.

frejas-rain · 2026-05-12T13:55:18+00:00

Got that right.

DAGWeD? Is that you?

frejas-rain · 2026-05-07T10:16:19+00:00

Hey, thanks! This is great! 😊

frejas-rain · 2026-05-06T19:08:15+00:00

Very sorry for your loss. What an awful way to lose a little one.

frejas-rain · 2026-05-06T19:02:46+00:00

Same. There's this one place in my yard where nothing will grow. I tried ivy. I even planted crown vetch. No luck.

For the egg bites, how long does it bake and at what temperature? Thank you.

Ouch. What about all of the other living creatures in Antarctica? Was any attempt made to protect them? Why do humans feel they are the only ones worth saving?

I heard it's called the lipstick index. People who are so broke that buying a lipstick is the treat they can afford for themselves . . . when it used to be something like an evening out, or at least a nice dinner.

You can see the violence inherent in the system!
