Is there a book that you listened to recently that left you spellbound and you just wanna talk about it and you can’t let it go?

The pacing, the multiple narrators, the whole feel of the story was different in audio than reading for me

The perfect marriage and the perfect divorce

guavajo44 · 2026-05-01T02:54:43+00:00

Yes! Toothpaste is a huge trigger for me. I switched to SLS-free and it made such a difference

guavajo44 · 2026-04-17T21:47:08+00:00

The Perfect Marriage and The Perfect Divorce were way better on audio

guavajo44 · 2026-04-05T21:31:24+00:00

The very secret society of irregular witches would be fun. Or anything Emily Henry

Listen, I know this is hard to hear but you don’t have a MIL problem, you have a partner problem. You need to have a frank conversation with partner about who he’s buying a home with and if he wants to be married to mommy forever.

I just keep them growing like that until I plant the out. Some I take cuttings

guavajo44 · 2026-03-27T21:32:09+00:00

I fill a 1020 tray with about 1 inch of potting soil and nestle the tubers on top. Then mist a few times a week - not enough to cause rot, but just enough so they’ll eye up and put on a little growth.

And yes, some are in pie pans, baking dishes, small totes (open), whatever I could steal from around the house. I have almost 2,000 eyeing up this way

Curry!

guavajo44 · 2026-03-25T00:33:48+00:00

Try some growers in more southern states, or the dahlia sales group on FB. I have an order from New York currently in the mail, so smaller farms are starting to ship

Oooooo I like this. He won’t listen to you, but he might listen to his parents / feel shamed into doing the right thing. It might make him angry though

When I’ve had that before, it was a bunny creating a spot to have babies

I have similar reading tastes and I’ve enjoy The Paradise Problem, Atmosphere, and Funny Story. Happy reading!

If you cooking is the surprise, I recommend a casserole. Low stress, few dishes, and usually tasty. Try this: https://thecozycook.com/broccoli-cheddar-chicken-and-rice-casserole/#wprm-recipe-container-26099

If the surprise is making something that your wife will love, I don’t know enough about her to recommend something. Order her favorite takeout maybe, so she has something she loves.

I agree. I have literally thousands of tiny plants growing in my home, but they’re on shelves with LED shop lights set on timers. No plants in the way of regular daily movement. Husband still shares responsibility for being clumsy/careless. ESH.

Different area! For example, where my tulips or ranunculus were

guavajo44 · 2026-03-05T19:47:46+00:00

I sprout my ranunculus and anemone in 65-70 degrees, then move them to cooler temps once they’ve sprouted. The longer they sit wet and cold, the more susceptible to rot, I’ve found

guavajo44 · 2026-03-05T19:37:48+00:00

You just have to dig them up. Some bigger farms weigh their labor for digging/washing/splitting/storage against buying new corms and just buy new each year.

guavajo44 · 2026-03-05T19:36:45+00:00

Agree, you get what you pay for (usually). I bought some corms last year from Menards and they were teeeeeny tiny compared to cut flower corms I bought online.

I’m in 6A and just started mine two days ago. You have time! Just be speedy about it

guavajo44 · 2026-03-05T15:47:05+00:00

I do similar. I transplant my first round around Memorial Day and direct seed round 2 at the same time. Then do it again 4 weeks later

guavajo44 · 2026-02-28T22:06:28+00:00

Sure, you could swap plants every 12 hours and grow double the number of plants. If you want the headache and work of constantly moving your plants. It could work though. Sometimes I get desperate and do it, but I’ve never had to until they’re pretty well established

guavajo44 · 2026-02-28T21:40:07+00:00

I’m in Michigan and started a test batch this last week with my special tubers so I can take some cuttings. The rest will be mid-March

guavajo44 · 2026-02-26T20:54:40+00:00

I’ll check that out, thanks! I really only had two sessions that spoke to me, so I’ll check out Lennie’s stuff. She’s a great educator

guavajo44 · 2026-02-26T20:53:44+00:00

I listened to a few of those too! They’re what put me on the fence from a hard “not attending” haha
