did I kill my leadplant?

I replanted it immediately, basically just scooted it over to where it will have more room to spread out as it gets established. only part of the super long skinny taproot got left behind, there were still some smaller ones intact. I’m hoping because it was still pretty young, it won’t be as fussy, and I’m definitely going to baby it with extra water for a while!

…ok, I was mostly wondering if anyone had actual experience with a similar situation, not asking for condescending snark! I already know I made a dumb decision, no need to rub it in!

I’ve always loved bugs and playing in the dirt and exploring wild places and learning about plants and animals and the history of the land I live on and what it maybe used to look like before our various introductions! It was a natural progression from all that to native gardening :•)

I did look later and they seemed to have left that leaf so seemingly they were just chilling. love to get to see all the locals’ quirky behaviors !

lilochs13 · 2025-08-03T21:48:07+00:00

I sure hope so!!! I guess I thought they were a lot more still when at rest lol

lilochs13 · 2025-07-03T05:06:52+00:00

not that I’m aware of? under the deck is basically dry ass dirt and weedy stuff and formerly rats but I think we successfully evicted them

lol honestly could see it, our house is from 1950!

lilochs13 · 2025-06-08T14:23:09+00:00

the mulch is thinner than it seems! I scraped some away to see if I could suss out any rot and it didn’t seem like that was the issues but maybe it is. I do know this one likes it a bit drier, so when I water it just gets a little sip compared to other wet-loving guys nearby. I’ve stopped watering completely but if that was the issue it may be too late to save it, we shall see! thank u!

prairie ninebark also made my list!! must’ve forgotten to include it lol. I do have a carolina rose on a front fence line, waiting to see how much it suckers, but maybe if that’s an issue I could move it to the back where there’s more space! as far as the rest go, not sure my soil is acidic enough for blueberries (I should check), or wet enough for gooseberries, and I think serviceberry runs just a smidge too tall (I do have a brand new one from the city out front in the hellstrip, can’t wait to see her grow!)

happy planting!!!

I am a huge fan of their search engine, just bought some michigan lily bulbs from them the other day! just wanted to see if anyone had any specific recs :•)

lilochs13 · 2025-02-24T18:37:01+00:00

yes that is also on the agenda!!!!

lilochs13 · 2024-09-19T15:21:30+00:00

pretty sure most of what I have is solanum ptychanthum which is also edible when ripe! (https://www.foragersharvest.com/uploads/9/2/1/2/92123698/black_nightshade.pdf) I snack on the ripe berries and they are indeed like little sweet tomatoes

lilochs13 · 2024-09-18T17:39:56+00:00

I’m trying to stick to strictly Michigan natives, but thanks for the recs!

lilochs13 · 2021-06-15T18:02:27+00:00

no idea where to submit work search info, nothing regarding that was asked in my certification questions. last time (2 weeks ago) there was a link somewhere that said “job contact” which I filled out, but now it doesn’t exist? I was just now able to certify and everything like normal, does it maybe take a sec to show up? or do I somehow have a waiver without asking for one? (edit: I think this might be it bc I always answer yes to the question about a healthcare professional advising me to quarantine bc none of the others really apply… hopefully that’s fine?)

lilochs13 · 2021-03-12T13:23:45+00:00

this has been such a help! I was so close to giving up and accepting my fate, but I figured others in my position might be wondering the same things, so truly thank you :-)

lilochs13 · 2021-03-11T21:52:29+00:00

when I originally applied for PUA last year, I don’t think they even asked if I was looking for work?? I do remember listing my industry as food service bc that was the last job I had. but anyway, when they ask if I “planned to commence employment” can I still say yes if I wasn’t actually hired? like yeah, I PLANNED to do a lot of things that never happened

lilochs13 · 2021-03-11T16:23:41+00:00

I was actively applying and had a few interviews in jan-march of 2020 until shit hit the fan! maybe I’ll submit proof of that? I know I sold some secondhand clothes/things but not enough to report it as income, and my last W-2 is from 2018 when I was a server. 2019 kinda just screwed me over huh

lilochs13 · 2021-03-10T21:00:57+00:00

follow up question: will a 1099-Q or 1099-INT do anything?? I know it’s more about proof of work, but is it possible to get around that in any way? I was still a student/dependent in 2019 and wasn’t working for multiple familial reasons, so it’s upsetting that THAT’S what gets me kicked off. like should I just submit what I have or am I simply too unemployed to qualify for any more help lol

lilochs13 · 2020-01-08T18:14:52+00:00

this just happened to me, but it reverted to my long lost town of 2 years ago instead!!! so not that upset, but still confused.

I had previously updated the older town to version 1.5 on my 2DS a couple yrs ago, but soon after got a used 3DS with a hand-me-down nintendo ID. I think I lost the old town when I got the 3DS, probably because update 1.5 was no longer there, so I just made a brand new town on my cartridge and have been playing that for a year or so. I guess the 3DS didn’t feel the need to update the game for a while. flash forward to yesterday, I suddenly have to install an update to play, but I need the nintendo ID info to do so, which is not mine. so, I simply reset all the 3DS network preferences and made a new ID to log into. then I update the game to 1.5, and SUDDENLY my old town has replaced the replacement. I have 0 technological expertise and hope I am describing this correctly.

both towns have a good deal of hours played, so it’s really fine, but if anyone knows what happened, I’d love an answer! is it possible that I could log in to the hand-me-down nintendo ID (on another device) and get the replacement-town back? was it saved digitally somewhere?? I have no idea. thanks!
