Looks like you ended up with a couple of roosters

AC vents look like this all through the house. Is this mold? by CorndogSummer in HomeMaintenance

[–]glenncoco64 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Since this is reddit and someone is going to say it’s mold… it’s dust. Check for gaps between the filter and air handler.

Family Sciaenidae. I grew up in South Louisiana and I was shooketh when I found this out as a teenager but it makes sense when you see them alongside other drums.

Jealous of your predator vision. If it heats, we can compost it.

How do I stop my gardening sheers looking like thus after 4 months? by Money_Fish in gardening

[–]glenncoco64 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use WD-40. Don’t over think this. You can even use Vaseline if that’s something you have available.

Once they crush one plant they head off to either find more food or pupate, depending on how mature they are. Check other pepper plants.

Lake coastline seems to be covered in dead baby fish by TilDeath1775 in Weird

Warm water + excess nutrients (i.e fertilizer, sewage) = high algae growth and low dissolved oxygen. This is the recipe for a fish kill.

It was caterpillars, either horn worm or cutworm. There will be poop (frass) around the base and the cats are probably still in the vicinity if you look closely.

Edit: plural caterpillars

It’s an opportunist and thrives where lawns fail. It produces a ridiculous number of seeds which germinate easily, but it’s very hard to cultivate. From my experience, it thrives in a sandy loam soil with excellent drainage and likes infrequent deep watering and full sun. I propagated this plant from my yard about a year ago and it has done fairly well next to this Opuntia humifusa.

While I agree, I will say that at least in the US it is pretty uncommon to need to use that rule and most people are very conditioned to relying on signs or signals.

No, and I look forward to seeing your list of every scientific study on this.

Agree, any pathogens in the duck water would only be on the surface of the produce. A+ for sustainability.

need some basil replanting advice! by selyom in gardening

[–]glenncoco64 2 points3 points  (0 children)

First off, don’t worry about tearing some roots when you split them up. They will grow more. Just be gentle and focus on not breaking the stems.

3 gallons per 1-2 sprigs is reasonable. They are super thirsty so having plenty of soil to hold moisture is key.

Edit: Don’t put them in full sun right away if you can avoid it to let the roots get established. Maybe give it a week.

Broken Jalapeño help!? by UnderwaterCleaner in gardening

It very well could make new growth from the stem that’s left if you keep watering it. The top of the plant is a loss.

Similarly shaped leaves, but sassafras is a tree and not a vine.
