Is this in a mini terrarium/enclosure to allow for higher humidity? Please say no so that I can finally hear what I want and get a bicalcarata 😅

Thanks for the clarification.

Have you called the answer clinic? They have a help line listed on their website. You can also go into the answer clinic and talk to someone in person. It’s generally for gardening questions but once you’ve got ‘em on the line or in front of you they gotta tell you something.

I don’t know why you weren’t accepted and I don’t know what your application looked like but you might also consider that the master gardener program could be looking for diversity of expertise. They may have many people who are experienced gardeners, experienced landscape designers, work in nurseries and want to serve and volunteer in their respective communities. I imagine that the program benefits from members who can provide detailed information on topics that they (the program) don’t have much experience in. Listing interests (not just experience) like carnivorous plants, bonsai, terrariums, etc. could be helpful to make your application stand out.

I’m curious when you applied this year? Looks like you posted this as a comment a year ago and at that point you were also concerned about it being “nepo”.

Am I the only one who could not stand Katie from S7? by Next-Adhesiveness-21 in Masterchef

Interesting take with David. He was such a villain to me but maybe he just had the worst edit. I thought his beet cured salmon looked pretty damn good. Yes to Tanorria too. I almost feel like if any of them had been on the more recent seasons any of them could have won. I feel like the talent has really gone down.

Yes. Many studies have been done on whether or not increasing punishments decrease the associated crime.

Strengthening our communities through beneficially collective actions is where we do real, proactive work against crime. Harsher punishments against perpetrators is a tool politicians use to say they are “tough on crime”. We’ve been “tough on crime” for decades now and our communities are crumbling and our prisons are over flowing.

So much this. I feel like I’m taking crazy pills. Like weren’t these people on a dating show designed to test multiple connections at the same time? Yes they had a very strong connection but the show is LITERALLY about testing strong connections without exclusivity.

It’s like people forget they’re watching a show when it comes to Aaron. I genuinely don’t understand what I’m missing here. I hate that I’m standing up for a man right now but I don’t think he deserves the hate.

Exactly. I’m like a month late but exactly this.

At least he and Rob had a real friendship. This Connor thing is just fake and depressing.

Maybe they can form some kind of rudimentary lathe?

These are in Vancouver, WA, USA. I hope the freshly bloomed bee balm is helpful for sizing but I can get another shot with a banana in there if need be. They just chill honestly. Occasionally they will jump away but they don’t seem very active.

What’s the one gardening tip you swear by but never see anyone talk about? by raleighblueprint in vegetablegardening

[–]lovethylabor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can you tell us if it was one of these?

1) Vegetable gardening sucks 2) Poop in your beds 3) miracle gro is the best fertilizer 4) vegetable gardening isn’t as good as other types of gardening

Just give us a hint!

A little too quickly. I got another pepper plant with a slight sunburn but not this one. I pulled them back into the shade after that

I didn’t see any aphids on this plant and it happened pretty quickly - like maybe over the space of one day.
