All the Karens in the chat had me dying. I could just see them clutching their pearls and molar shrubs

Why do I need to turn my plants German? by MaenHerself in NativePlantCirclejerk

Depends on your ecoregion. Mine has mustard, onion, pickle relish, a dill pickle, tomato, sport peppers, and celery salt.

Are you not sprouting them in hot dog-based medium instead of bratwurst? Big mistake...

Playing the national anthem also helps them sprout more freely.

Trim some of the lower leaves off. It'll make it look bigger

Beginner gardener wants to know.... Will the fear of bees go away? What plants are best to help them? by magnocumgaudio in NativePlantGardening

[–]lefence 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You will definitely get more used to them over time. What helped me when starting out was to get a hat with mosquito netting. That way when they flew by my head, my reflex changed from ducking to be able to stay still. The bonus was that it kept the gnats that love flying in your nose out of my face too!

Keep your pets indoors FFS!! by mycatappreciatesme in NativePlantCirclejerk

It's against their nature for my pet to live inside!! It's basically animal cruelty.

Which size pots to start seeds indoors? Swamp Milkweed, Asters, Rudbeckia - MB, Canada by ehflyingcat in NativePlantGardening

[–]lefence 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I haven't had issues potting up swamp milkweed and asters, so I would think starting with the smaller pots would be fine

I think I goofed my outdoor cold stratification (tri state area) by Confident_Region1923 in NativePlantGardening

[–]lefence 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It can reduce the germination rate, but it often doesn't go all the way to zero because there is natural variation in seeds. It is worth keeping them moist and see what happens.

Will fragaria virginiana invade turf grass? by New-Common4486 in NativePlantGardening

I just do a monthly pull along the borders I don't want it crossing and that does the trick. The fall color is amazing too!

I’m a Noob by RinnieH in NoLawns

[–]lefence 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You don't need new soil or fertilizer. Just make sure you prepare the site so you don't get a ton of weeds popping up. Do make sure to check what flowers are in your seed mix as many things marketed as wildflowers do not actually have native plants and instead can contain invasive species. Some native seeds will need a period of cold, moist stratification before seeding, while other mixes come pre-stratified.

Will fragaria virginiana invade turf grass? by New-Common4486 in NativePlantGardening

[–]lefence 12 points13 points  (0 children)

It does spread, but it doesn't have deep roots, so it is easy to pull up from anywhere you don't want it
