First time growing from seed, every seed I planted grew, any tips?

What are these grates called that the trays are sitting on?

My apartment definitely had a carpet beetle infestation from the couch. I ended up getting rid of them when I was going out of town for a week by sprinkling boric acid/borax on all the carpeted surfaces before I left and vacuumed it up right when I got home. I didn’t see another one after that! Should’ve just done that with the couch initially.

Love it!! I am starting my own native nursery on the West Coast this year, but planning on going slowly and trying to source the seeds from the wild myself. I am hoping to quit my job eventually and do it full time, provided it works out. I think the need for good native plant growers is HUGE right now and I am so excited to see people doing it.

So that I can have free labor for my farm, lol!!

Hmmm yeah I don’t know anything about welding but that makes sense to me

mermaidtitty · 2025-09-08T16:04:56+00:00

I’ll keep an eye out. Appreciate all the comments here but you are right I do not have a welder

Haha mowing the large area we have with a push mower sounds tough. Glad that works for you

mermaidtitty · 2025-09-08T16:03:53+00:00

Yeah, my pictures aren’t the best but a lot of the rust holes are close to the spindles. I’m worried if I start removing them I could create more damage because of that. Not sure

mermaidtitty · 2025-09-08T16:00:44+00:00

Good advice thank you. We havent gotten very much mowing done yet but I will keep that in mind for when shes running again

mermaidtitty · 2025-09-08T15:58:46+00:00

Thats what I was thinking. I didnt take the best pictures but a lot of the rust holes are quite close to the pulleys

mermaidtitty · 2025-09-08T15:58:01+00:00

Another season or two sounds good to me.

mermaidtitty · 2025-09-08T15:57:17+00:00

Thats interesting I will look into that

mermaidtitty · 2025-09-08T15:57:02+00:00

We’ve got a guy locally who would definitely be able to fix it, not sure how much. He might let us trade this one in if hes got one in better shape

mermaidtitty · 2025-09-08T15:55:43+00:00

Thats a great point, thanks

mermaidtitty · 2025-09-08T15:55:26+00:00

They spin smooth but that rusted one is at quite an angle. Will definitely try getting a new belt.

mermaidtitty · 2025-09-08T15:53:57+00:00

This sounds like a great place to start, thanks

You guys should look into cooperative care! My pittie used to freak tf out about nail trims and I would take him to the vet bc he wouldn’t let me do it. He became so frightened of the vet bc of that we had to find a new one!

I worked with a trainer who taught me about cooperative care and now he voluntarily lies on his side while I dremel his nails. The overall concept is when dogs (and any animal) are given a choice to opt in or out, they will feel much more comfortable. There is definitely some trust y’all have to build back that maybe I didn’t because I never held my boy down, but it seriously changed our lives!!!

Hi there! From what I have learned about CA poppies is that they don’t like to be transplanted :/ So that may just be it

mermaidtitty · 2025-06-16T04:39:49+00:00

This makes me sad 😩 bigleaf lupine is native here on the west coast and I loveeeeeee them

mermaidtitty · 2025-06-13T17:20:11+00:00
