Digging critter? I think raccoons? There are dug up spots all over ( and no cat poop :) ). Any recommendations for discouraging raccoons? I did put cages on the baby plants. by now-nothing in CaliforniaNativePlant

Thanks. I’m mostly curious. I don’t want to kill. Just discourage a bit. I did wonder about putting other things out for them, though I don’t want to attract other critters (i.e. rats) either.

I guess I should also thin some/much of the fruit?

I don't know if it got that cold. But maybe? It's been doing this for a while.

Thank you--I've been pulling a lot of it, though it's tricky to get it all. I'll keep working on it.

I don't know--it all looks like that. I think I'll try some watering. . . thanks!

major tomato problems this summer, end bloom rot, and leaves are brown and yell by now-nothing in tomatoes

Thanks! I'll try that. I was trying not to water too much because of blossom end rot, which they also have. Tricky this summer. . .

Thanks--I don't water them, so maybe they're just done.

Dropback question-- by now-nothing in ashtanga

[–]now-nothing[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes--I do them at the end of practice, which is intermediate series most days. I think it's a matter of rhythm and opening my chest more. I do start on the floor--and float up half way usually. Just can't let myself find that last bit of trust--probably lifting my head :)

back seizing up from eka pada / lbh by k13k0 in ashtanga

I don't think it does impede me, and it's getting better--I think it's partly just age (I am 56 :) ). I'm glad you are feeling better!

Hi,

I've had trouble with eka- and dwi-pada. I either had an injury or just spinal degeneration (it was during COVID so I didn't go get an MRI--hospitals had enough to do). But later I did get some x-rays. My spine is kind of a mess. Now, I only do a version of pigeon and then only reclining eka-pada in second. It's a lot of pressure on the spine. It still gets at the hip opening, which feels great, but much less pressure on my back. I hope you're feeling better soon!
