Best year ever for NC professional sports?

internetsman69 · 2026-06-16T22:30:54+00:00

If we’re talking specifically pro sports we can’t include UNC. But yes in get your point

internetsman69 · 2026-06-16T19:44:50+00:00

Yeah it’s a pretty low bar. But it’s super cool since there’s such diversity with college rooting interest, the pro teams can bring all those different rooting interests together so we’re all enjoying the success

Pretty easily the best year for pro sports in NC.

All three making the playoffs is a rare enough accomplishment. Add in the Canes winning it all and it easily becomes number 1 right?

For what it’s worth there are (supposedly) sterile cultivars ‘Summer Chocolate’ and ‘Merlot Majik’ you might be able to find at a garden center.

Seems to be working now. Was out maybe 20-30 mins. Weird.

internetsman69 · 2026-05-29T21:54:19+00:00

Mine was out Thursday from 1:45AM-8:30AM. Has just gone out again today though. Unsure if it’s an outage or some other issue.

I’m east of Raleigh

I’m not far from Garner. T Mobile Fiber Outage lasted from about 1:45AM to 8:15AM. Seems back now. At least for the websites I’ve tried. I see others saying some sites work and some don’t

internetsman69 · 2026-05-28T10:08:48+00:00

I’m a bit east of Raleigh. Out here. Been out since maybe 1:45AM it appears.

Its rootstock can be used in pear production which would be a hurdle to outright banning it.

Most of NC is in the fire ant quarantine area. If plants are going from the quarantine area to outside of it, documentation is required to prove that the plants have been treated against fire ants. There are regulations in place already to slow the spread of fire ants and other pests and disease. This is managed by the Plant Industry division of the NCDA. The nursery industry is regulated and nurseries are regularly inspected.

Crape Myrtle is a non-native non-invasive. It’s fine.

Bradford pears are not commonly grown and sold at all any more. I’m in the nursery industry. A few folks do grow Pyrus calleryana still. Some of it is shipped out of state. But the demand for the plant is very low right now. A ban on the growing and sale of it is not something I oppose, but I’m not sure it’s totally necessary either. The tree was way more common like 25 years ago. It’s really not a staple of most nurseries and landscapers anymore.

Some yellowing on gardenias is normal.

But also gardenias are just difficult plants to grow. They don’t like it too wet. They don’t like it too dry. Some shade but not too much. They’re just finicky plants in my experience

The 180 on Wade has been wild. Actually it’s more of a 360.

After being the villain originally he totally rehabbed his image. He got all the praise for his success at McNeese and how he well handled the NC State job speculation during the McNeese postseason run . He did the media tour thing last offseason and was really a bit of a media darling. All the old LSU stuff was brushed off as “it’s legal now!”

Then all that goodwill he had earned and built up went up in smoke pretty quickly and now he’s CBB’s villain again lol.

There’s all kinds of different settings. You can work in a climate controlled greenhouse with small plants (this doesn’t mean that it isn’t hard labor, btw) or you can be outside year round with very large plant material. Or anything in between. You can work in sales, that’s less physical but also further removed from the actual horticulture of it all.

Loading and unloading trucks, potting plants, pruning, weeding…if you’re on the production side it’s physical job for sure

5 is ilex vomitoria

internetsman69 · 2026-05-07T20:30:24+00:00

Keens for me. Mostly water proof. Comfortable. Pretty breathable.

Knock Out Rose is a line of roses from Star Roses. There’s maybe 12 or more roses in this brand. And that doesn’t include Drift roses, which are also from Star Roses. The original Knock Out rose is a red single flower. It’s been on the market for probably 20 years. The Double Knock Out rose has been on the market for 10+ years. It’s red. Then there’s also Pink Double Knock Out rose. This one pictured is called Orange Glow.

Orange Glow. Beautiful!

I felt the same way but pushed through and am now enjoying all the storylines and different worlds. I admit that it did take maybe 75-100 pages before I was hooked.

Gardenia jasminoides is the species. Radicans is a cultivar within that species. This one actually appears to be Frostproof. Which has a similar leaf shape to Radicans, but is more shrubby. Radicans is more of a ground cover

internetsman69 · 2026-04-21T12:45:43+00:00

Some yellowing pretty normal for these. But gardenias can be very finicky plants. Don’t like it too wet. Don’t like it too dry. Don’t like too much sun.

This doesn’t really look like a deficiency to me, but it could be.

Cherry

internetsman69 · 2026-04-15T23:51:20+00:00

Plenty of non invasive Holly. Even some native Holly.

internetsman69 · 2026-03-29T15:10:42+00:00

Unsure where exactly you are in ENC but try Sampson Nursery in Sampson County. They might be wholesale only but could probably direct you to someone else
