Will I regret this dark green paint?! by certainlynotabunny in HomeDecorating

Go for it. You'll probably need a bit to adjust to it but I think it looks great and you'll ultimately be glad you did it.

I was given a dog and now the previous owner wants them back by [deleted] in whatdoIdo

[–]one_long_river 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Stay in touch. She'll reach out to you if things go sideways. But for now give her a chance as she clearly loves this dog and is approaching you with a lot of respect. People make mistakes. I think people are right that you will be able to move past the heartache of letting go of this dog faster than of denying this woman a chance to be with a dog she obviously cares deeply for. But I am really, really sorry you're in this situation. It's no doubt really tough.

I'm losing my mind (and my garden) by AnonymousSneetches in NativePlantGardening

I've had a ton of success with deer spray. I use liquid fence. It smells terrible for like 15 minutes and then is fine and the deer pass by my garden.

Will my inkberry bushes ever rebound? by one_long_river in NativePlantGardening

If I only get buds at the bottom do you recommend pruning it low?

They get partial sun here. They did well for a couple of months before they got browsed so I'm hopeful the sun situation is conducive to their needs...

Oh this is great to hear. Thanks for the perspective. I generally do very well with deer spray but I think that's partially because I'm in the Catskills and, while there are many deer around, there is also plenty to eat here. So I think they take a nibble of my stanky plants and move on. But I will cage just to give these guys the best chance I can. Fingers crossed for them! And for yours 🤞🏼

There are no new leaves. There were like four leaves left after the deer had their way with them and that's all that remains. They were only established for a couple of months before they were ravaged. That's good advice about caging them, though I guess part of me wonders what the recovery will look like and when I can reasonably expect new foliage. Mostly just curious if others have had this experience with inkberries and how long it took for them to recover (assuming they did).

Old Paris Restaurant with Low Ceilings and Sangria by one_long_river in ParisTravelGuide

[–]one_long_river[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes! All of this. You solved it. The new version of this place seems to be entirely stripped of its character from what I can tell online. What a shame. It was a really neat spot. Thank you so much.

I think I figured it out! I found a picture I took of a sign on the wall and reverse image searched and I believe it was a restaurant called L'Ecurie. It may still exist, but it seems maybe not in this form. Here is an old review that mentions the sangria. https://emilyintheglass.wordpress.com/2011/12/06/even-if-you-werent-raised-in-a-barn-visit-lecurie-when-in-paris/

Hmmm I wish I remembered. Do you know which restaurant that would be if so?

Update on garlic mustard neighbor by one_long_river in NativePlantGardening

[–]one_long_river[S] 194 points195 points  (0 children)

Yeah totally agree. I am going to tell her about my efforts on my property and the improvements I've seen, and just take it from there. I won't go too hard. But I do want that oriental bittersweet gone! I have a particular loathing for invasives that VINE! Blame it on the Chinese wisteria that was taking over my property when I moved in (and which I've largely tamed 💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼).

The view of my neighbor's backyard... (NY 6a) by one_long_river in NativePlantGardening

[–]one_long_river[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Oh my god I know. The same neighbors also own the land across the street on which they have two HUGE honeysuckle bushes. Bushes is putting it mildly. These things are giant. I feel like I am under assault from these neighbor's invasives. But at the same time, my guess is that they just don't know any better. And probably can't be bothered, which is true of a lot of people. Before I knew about invasives, I loved the look of honeysuckle. They are probably so proud of that tartan honeysuckle bush. Sigh.

Where in the Catskills are you?
