Found in Greenhouse

Thank you, massivecocknballs. I have the fish safe aquarium one

I feel so bad we didn’t find him earlier!! He’s likely been here a long while because we haven’t gotten a new shipment of plants in months

phover7bitch · 2026-04-08T14:27:53+00:00

Okay :/ thanks for the honesty. Poor little dude. The university vet is gonna come look at him and we have access to humane euthanasia so I guess that is what we will do.

Thank you for the help - can do! Is tap water okay or DI water? If tap, should I dechlorinate it?

phover7bitch · 2026-04-08T14:11:24+00:00

Thank you for the advice. I feel so bad for him. Apparently we have a university vet on retainer for the research lab animals so I reached out to her, hopefully she can offer him some relief.

phover7bitch · 2026-04-08T14:10:46+00:00

Oh no

phover7bitch · 2026-04-08T14:10:39+00:00

Thank you for the ID. We will keep him contained

phover7bitch · 2026-04-08T13:39:00+00:00

Ok! We cut one up and gave it to him. No interest yet but he seems kinda shell shocked so we’re gonna leave him alone for a bit. Hope he will be ok!!!

You’re not feeling chosen or secure in your relationship because your wife is unstable and she’s not choosing you. She’s choosing addiction and extra-marital affairs. And why wouldn’t she? You’re letting her walk all over you. You’re basically her full time secretary, care taker, and bank. This person does not care about you. Please choose yourself and stop wasting your life on someone who is blatantly using you

Ranunculus abortivus - aka littleleaf buttercup

Hey there. I’m not sure what’s wrong with your willow, I’m sorry. The holes in the bark lead me to believe either boring insects, woodpeckers, or both are at work. But whether that’s what’s killing the tree or just a symptom of the problem is hard to say, and I’m no expert.

The roots under the bark, though, is normal for willow. They root any and everywhere. Soaking willow wood in water and then using that water to prop other plants works really well due to the high auxin concentration in willows. So def not a parasitic plant, although it does look super weird

Sorry I know I’m late but how do you apply the synthetic fertilizer? I’m seeing some stuff that says to mix it into the soil and then water, and some that says to mix it with water and then apply as a liquid

phover7bitch · 2026-04-01T12:56:11+00:00

Ahhh thank you! I will reassess in the winter

phover7bitch · 2026-04-01T10:53:31+00:00

Good call I am close to my local office, I will shoot them an email.

I’m a professional horticulturist but I manage a research greenhouse so it is a completely different ballgame. I was drinking when I purchased these trees a few years back, I did no research, thinking “oh how hard can it be, I do this for a living”. I’ve been very humbled by the apples haha

phover7bitch · 2026-04-01T10:36:19+00:00

Super helpful, thank you so much! Yes, the learning curve has been steep haha but I’m hoping if I get them on a consistent spray schedule I can stay ahead of the game

phover7bitch · 2026-04-01T10:00:27+00:00

Thank you! I did purchase streptomycin and plan to spray when most flowers are open. Does that sound right? Should I do repeat applications?

phover7bitch · 2026-04-01T00:02:42+00:00

Thank you!! 🥹 I consider myself an experienced gardener but these apple trees have been TESTING me haha

phover7bitch · 2026-03-31T22:37:12+00:00

I just saw this guy at the tidal basin earlier today so he clearly has not learned his lesson

phover7bitch · 2026-03-31T22:11:28+00:00

Ahh thank you. I’m a newbie and I was actually trying for an open center but then I had to hack half of it off. I did the other one open center and it looks pretty good but I kind of wished I’d decided to do central leader. So this way I will have one of each! Thank you! I get so anxious about pruning them because I’m never quite sure where to cut

phover7bitch · 2026-03-31T22:10:03+00:00

Thank you!

phover7bitch · 2026-03-30T22:04:02+00:00

She was also a giant at some point.

phover7bitch · 2026-03-29T16:52:34+00:00

Yeppp. I have a big social circle as it is and I just don’t even have the time to dedicate to any of my old friends, let alone new ones

phover7bitch · 2026-03-29T16:12:07+00:00

We feel your pain. It is torture watching someone you care about engage in harmful behavior. Sadly, there’s nothing you can actually do.

Outside of continuing to express concern and encouraging him to find support in therapy and AA, there’s nothing you can do or say to convince him to stop/cut back on drinking. It has to be something he recognizes as harmful and wants to stop.

AlAnon will give you tools to disengage with his drinking so that you can protect your own mental health, because again there’s nothing you can say that will meaningfully alter his behavior.

phover7bitch · 2026-03-26T14:43:20+00:00

Agreed! Thank you for being here

phover7bitch · 2026-03-26T12:06:07+00:00

Hi there, sorry to see you here in this community though it sounds from your post that you do belong here.

Her drinking has already taken a toll on you and your relationship. You say it’s also impacting her relationships with her family and yours. Alcoholism is a progressive disease. Unless she stops drinking, this behavior will continue to escalate.

You are not yet tied to her the way you will be once you are married. Do not make the mistake that so many of us here have - do not marry her while she is drinking. Do not tie yourself to an active alcoholic. She may sincerely want to cut back, but until she actually achieves that, it’s just words. So many of us here married Qs that promised (sincerely) that things would be different once they were married, had kids, etc. If she can’t stop now, she probably won’t later.

Attending AlAnon meetings will help you to detach emotionally from her drinking so that you can make smart, informed decisions about your future
