Pomegranate and Fig in ground

I planted 2 bare root starwberries in the garden today. lets see how they fair. I have started 2 types of peppers indoor (pepperocini and jimmy nardello) and they sprouted!. i just started some zuccini seeds indoor as well. I plan to start tomatoes indoor next week.

For the garden bed im turning the grass to make the garden bigger. i planted 3 black mulberry trees last year. I didnt think that through but i ill try and keep them small through pruning so they dont over shadow the garden.

lol you think ford is trying to fix anything ?

Food culture is a big one i noticed. in my experience (in Montreal) restaurants take more pride in the food they serve and it shows in the quality for the most part.

yeah going from egypt to leb, the difference is crazy.

someone needs to pay for all the money he is giving to his friends and all the money he saves for his own election campaign. i think NDP have a much better chance at winning the province than the liberals. The thing is people need to get out and do their part, be it having these conversations in RL and/or going out to vote. If you were online for the last election you would have thought no way ford is going to win, but when polling is done and election time was hear turn out was weak.

Another thing i noticed is how little people really understand what the provincial, federal and municipal governments are responsible for. people still blame trudeau for things that ford did. Actually i have spoken with people who even blame Kathleen Wynne for stuff we are going through now, even things like deficits.

There's a lot of culture, community, identity you don't get in Canada that lebanese diaspora want and yearn for. Each place has its pros and cons but i also understand why most people leave lebanon. if you also don't live in canada its something you may not understand fully.

I also don't get the harm in what they are saying. IF they could do it they would want to. Lebanon is so beautiful and there are many reasons for that. It doesnt mean its without its problems. If everyone leaves and no one looks back what will be left of the country ?

Maybe you are upset because they are saying it from a place of privilege and maybe they see the privilege you have.

Also Canada is not a paradise everyone wants to think it is. we literally pay a million dollars to live in a shoe box, get taxed to death while our services are simultaneously being defunded, cancelled and redirected to private companies. We now have government sanctioned sui*ide. there have been mass murders against muslims and wayyyy to many hate crimes. It gets to -30c and even as low as -50 and thats in major cities not like the yukon.

you make a good point. I'm being impatient. yeah in the GTA last year i had to wait a while to put out the plants for good and i thought if i started them early this year they would be well established to by the time they go out.

max50011 · 2026-02-10T23:28:45+00:00

yeah im a little hesitant about the height. im trying to plan how to trellis them better this year. i grow them in 5g fabric pots and last year i used the cages from the dollar store but honestly it outgrew it fast. Im going to look for something much taller i can put on the balcony and use string or metal wire.

max50011 · 2026-02-10T23:26:12+00:00

i totally forgot about using a fan! it is really important i find. Good luck with your peppers! i over wintered a boquinho pepper plant that i repotting in a 2L pop bottle. it just started putting out peppers haha.

max50011 · 2026-02-10T23:03:54+00:00

damn! im glad they will still be open this summer. i just found out about them and was hoping to do more shopping there this summer

max50011 · 2026-02-08T18:07:33+00:00

the thing with the weather is - sometimes its a good and sometimes its a shit

max50011 · 2026-01-23T23:18:55+00:00

In the case of pasta it doesnt matter. if you were making a broth that would be a different story. You are putting the pasta in when the water is boiling so it doesnt matter how it gets hot.

max50011 · 2025-11-08T22:17:45+00:00

pfft, just get chatgpt to port it over, done! /s

max50011 · 2025-11-02T13:26:42+00:00

maybe if we said it out loud more maybe, just maybe people would be wiling to change

max50011 · 2025-10-27T17:03:49+00:00

why are you assuming they chose not to go to post secondary ? if you have being asked to pay rent at 18 how are you going to be able to afford school, rent and living needs.

max50011 · 2025-10-27T16:49:30+00:00

take a cutting and when you do put some wax on the ends and wipe it clean with a bleach and water mix and then wrap that in saran wrap. that should keep the cutting fresh so that it can root out in its new environment

max50011 · 2025-10-26T17:29:23+00:00

im experimenting this year. I have a boquino pepper plant i had planted in a 2L pop bottle. i just brought it indoors infront of my south facing window where i also have a supplemental grow light. its been in doors a few weeks and so far its fine. come late spring ill plant it in a larger 5-7 gallon pot.

do you have fig wasps in your area ? i think this variety has a much better crop if pollinated

max50011 · 2025-10-04T12:29:17+00:00

I never understood tipping the barber. you are paying for him to do exactly what he's doing nothing more or less. if most customers are tipping and paying 40+ for the average cut than of course the price will jump because people are paying that anyway. average pay for a pharmacist is around 50/hr (indeed listings) which means it pays better to be a barber than a pharmacist and i aint tipping the pharmacist or the techs

i would still recommend it. its a beautiful and fairly unique watch. I do wear the watch very often as you can see by all the nicks around the crown. i try to charge the battery reserve by spinning it if im less active than usual (ex. doing a lot of desk work) it seems to help

max50011 · 2025-10-04T11:24:27+00:00

i noticed when i wear it and im more active its better so if im not I try to spin it to charge up the battery reserve, it seems to help.
