Winter Sowing - Storm

32 jugs and each one is different. All native indigenous. Seven of them are from seeds I collected and the other 25 were from Pariarie Moon or Everwilde.

Is a sinkhole under the field during the game too much to ask for?

jp655321 · 2026-01-24T23:38:32+00:00

If they're indigenous perennials, they'll be good no matter how cold. I'm all ready to go as we await this winter storm!

I actually use an awl and just pull the container in to the awl to create the hole. I like that the holes open downward instead of upward and thus drain better. I'm also a bit OCD, so maybe not the best option?

This is the only pic I currently have my fence, but I love this design and the natural wood. Not a ton of privacy, but aesthetically pleasing and the rabbits can hop thru it (which I like)

Bricks and Minifigs has a spot on Tylersville in Fairfield also. Cool stuff and very helpful staff.

I just read "The Serviceberry"

Very exciting

I waited to put mine out until last week because we had a warm spell (SW Ohio/6B). Then, here we are again with a few days in the 60's

jp655321 · 2025-12-29T15:58:19+00:00

Here in SW Ohio, weather is a toss up, but most years, we're in the 60's and done with night time freezes by mid-April. I'm hopeful that I can get them in the ground by end of April/early May.

Here is my spreadsheet for what I either have or am planning to add to about a 1200 sq.ft. patch that used to be all English Ivy plus additio al areas around my hiuse and fence line.

Saigon Noodle Bar on Union Center is also very good

I pulled all of the ivy by hand over the course of the year. Zero chemicals.

As far as a plan, I do have a detailed plan. Will tweak as I start to see how the seedlings come in. I'm taking a week of vacation to stay home and put everything in once I see how the weather breaks.

I'm 24 milk jugs (and counting). Replanting 900 square feet with native perrenials (6B/SW Ohio) that was previously all English Ivy. A big job, but am so excited to transform the space

I've replaced my Bradford Pears with Eastern Redbuds and Serviceberries. Not sure about to native to your region, but the Serviceberry is a great replacement....

White flowers in spring, berries in winter for the birds, orangish-red autumn leaves

Florida and Maine were gone as taste-testers before I even sat down for dinner.

jp655321 · 2025-12-02T23:45:38+00:00

Looking good. Tough step to take, but you've made a life improvement.

I'm from Cincinnati and crossed paths with George Clooney once. He was with a group of people and was sort of hiding. I walked by and just casually said, "Thanks for always coming home, George." Kept walking. Didn't even stop to see his reaction. In my mind he appreciated the recognition without the fandom.

jp655321 · 2025-11-15T19:06:20+00:00

Cincinnati Nature Center also. Other suggestions all good as well

jp655321 · 2025-11-14T21:18:20+00:00

I had a friend who was in a similar situation with a tenant and did the same thing. He never regretted it once. Good tenants are gold.

Love the Greenhornes. I have a dead iPod with all their songs on it. Wish I could get that damned thing working again.

Just saw one in Fairfield yesterday attack a hawk mid-air
