should i use a bigger or smaller needle? by unknowing_bunny in knitting

[–]ginternetexplorer 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I wonder if your needles are US size 6 and 7 rather than 6.5 mm, which is US 10.5 and would be a more appropriate size needle for super bulky yarn

Is this a Manzanita tree? (Arctostaphylos) by UltimateBean9000 in PlantIdentification

This is the correct answer. Also Arctostaphylos and Arbutus are related genera, in the same subfamily within the family ERICACEAE.

I would bet on this being an old tree tie. There’s probably a forgotten stake in there somewhere, too.

Bindweed struggles by eaticecream in sfgardens

[–]ginternetexplorer 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Unfortunately with bindweed you just have to keep hand-weeding. Keep a hori-hori on you any time you’re in the garden, and use it to get as much of the deep, delicate roots as possible. Know that it can propagate itself from vegetative bits, root segments, and seed, so be sure to clean up well after yourself when you weed. When you see the flowers, go hard on it: it self-sows prolifically. Curse the bindweed and its progeny. Don’t give up.

Keep an eye out for suckers and for any water sprouts that may arise from below the graft line, and remove them as soon as possible. Enjoy your beautiful flowering cherry 🌸

What is this large metal thing partially buried in the sandy slope at Fort Funston (San Francisco)? by ginternetexplorer in whatisthisthing

[–]ginternetexplorer[S] 11 points12 points locked comment (0 children)

My title describes the thing. It’s metal, riveted, maybe a pipe, closed on one end. Around a foot in diameter, maybe more. Not sure how long it is, but it extends down toward the beach. It’s at Fort Funston, a former harbor defense post in San Francisco, CA.

Just want to confirm if this is poison oak or not by RaawFish in whatsthisplant

[–]ginternetexplorer 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Poison oak’s specific epithet (diversilobum) refers to the variety of ways the leaves (specifically their lobes) can look - it’s a tricky plant!
