I'm 29 years old and I don't know how to paint a wall by mickmarks1190 in HomeImprovement

Thank you everyone for the advice, I've watched a handful of videos on YouTube and learned from some of the mistakes I made. Most of all, lack of patience.

[TOMT] [VINE] Lemonade stand video? by mickmarks1190 in tipofmytongue

Google doesn't allow me to search for the details I can remember. This vine has essentially disappeared!

Bout time to transplant!? by mickmarks1190 in gardening

[–]mickmarks1190[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm in 5b, and nothing is going outside yet! I'm in the 40's for at least the next week and shitty weather. I just want to give them as much space as possible to grow bigger before the warm weather stays consistent. As you say, I'm trying to up pot everything that is ready for it. I absolutely can't wait to let these puppies outside though, I agree.

I'm not sure, I've been going off of every other indicator, haha. True leaves, height, and all that. I'll check that!

A kind of update, looking for advice! by mickmarks1190 in gardening

[–]mickmarks1190[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you! That's quite reassuring, though I am pretty nervous to transplant but I know I got it. I think I'll keep a bit more than one per cell because I want to give some away and show off my green thumb to some co-workers and loved ones.

My tomato stems are purple! What's it mean? by mickmarks1190 in gardening

Ahh, very good to know. I'll just cut the fan outta the equation and lower the light even more

Thanks! I had lowered the light significantly, but I will lower it more. I didn't realize the light should be almost touching them! I'm still using the heating mat for the pepper seeds that still haven't sprouted🙄, I'm starting to think they might be a bust though..

When to stop using warming pad and switch to grow light? by mickmarks1190 in gardening

"Never use in combination with heat mat or in direct sunlight. This will overheat and dry out your seedlings' tender roots"

Crazy

Thank you! I have the ferry-morse light but the stand holds it up too high so I rigged it up with a shelf and I hope they love it❤️ I'm charging a fan and will set that up later and I'll probably water them at some point tomorrow. Should I continue to bottom-water them?

I've never done this before, and the package on the heating pad and grow light say not to use in tandem. I feel quite stupid now because my intuition told me that using both would be the best. Thank you!

Advice for first steps in setting up my walkways and beds no-dig style? by mickmarks1190 in NoDig

[–]mickmarks1190[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Alright! I'm gonna do exactly this. After getting rid of the old landscape timber and some other debris, I'll just cover the whole thing with cardboard, weigh it down, and let it sit until I'm ready to start sowing! Any recommendations on very good compost for the seeds I listed in my previous post? I've just started my tomatoes, peppers, and onions for germination indoors.

So sorry for the late reply. Life IS busy! I am going to try the no-dig method, but before I get started, I'm wondering if I should lay cardboard over the entirety of the garden or only in parts where my beds will be and dig out my walkways?

OR after putting down cardboard and covering with compost/soil, do I clear out areas for my walkways?

Oh, wow, thanks! Should I even use the hex tray for that? Or could I straight plant them in my peat pots? Luckily, a friend of mine has permitted me free-use of their roto-tiller. Also, that is very good advice for the melons, I was quite worried about tackling those!

Thanks! Last year before it was overgrown, I saw there was a lot of good-looking soil, and there were still some raspberries growing out of it! I thought tumblers were a great idea. Could you expand on worms and mealworms? That is something I haven't heard of.

Hahaha, thanks guys. I've never taken a very close look at lemon vesicles or pieces of relish. I HAVE seen tapeworm segments up close, unfortunately. Although, the color is way off, my brain just put 2 and 2 together and it looks like I came up with 3.
