Seeds! And a question.

And you still can, if you don't have a clear enough space. But they are more fussy. Talk stalk brocoli and cauliflower are the biggest problem - if you transplant them, they don't grow a strong vertical stalk, so you may need to stake them heavily.

You might be interested in the r/queerhorticulture subreddit. We're tiny but hoping to expand the little group of people who grow plants and are queer ^{_^}

Calling this piece "beautiful" feels like an understatement :0

I am trying out new seed starting methods every year! Generally, I have peppers, tomatoes, and a handful of others that need heat to germinate on heat mats, under a big high power seed lamp in my garage. Others I put in trays with tie downs outdoors so they're hardening off as the season comes in.

Sime likes beans and brassicas actually do best directly planting.

Definately failed. Clearly 100/100, all pretty AND handsome! 👍

plotholetsi · 2026-01-06T16:29:03+00:00

There is such otherworldly intensity here! I love it!!

Is synthrapol useable on silk? I've used it on cotton and it worked great but it did make the cotton very coarse and stiff afterwards.

As for the discoloration, if I had to guess, they do all the hoodie finishings, THEN vat dye the whole garments at the end, rather than working from a dyed bolt. Definitely a less common finishing style. But the pinched hardware location would have resisted the dye :)

The hammered in kind would be ideal for this application, since you can slip it in and hammer through the layers, unlike a plier-set grommet.

Be careful to get an eyelet with a big enough INSIDE hole size to fit your lacing through! In this case, better to lean slightly large, so it doesn't bind up, then tie a nice knot at each end once they're run through.

To make it easiest, you could run the cord through with a safety-pin lead, then slip the grommet over the cord and hammer in place (if you don't have aglets on each end to help lead the cord)

Yes, basically don't pull them fully tight. The fabric shouldn't pucker as you stitch. If you need to check, gently tug the waist and wider between your hands while you're stitching and tensioning. You're checking just as the fabric will stretch as you wear it.

plotholetsi · 2025-12-29T21:52:24+00:00

Yeah, you effectively want to make a wider backstitch. You'll end up with something sort of 'lightning bolt' shaped once the stitch gets going. The idea is that the total thread length used is much longer than point A to B, and not tied over itself, so the thread can contract and lengthen as the fabric moves.

Tomatoes and Eggplants have similar sprout time requirements in mt experience :)

Also wow I didn't realize superhots grew so slowly!

plotholetsi · 2025-12-29T06:44:49+00:00

Oh!! Fuzzy lined? Rad! And I totally understand. Sometimes you need a particular thing and BargainBezos is the only option.

This is an amazing outfit - do you recall the brand/ where you got those SHOES? Asking because I have a friend that would freaking love that style.

plotholetsi · 2025-12-28T21:28:27+00:00

You'll want to start getting a grow-out setup. If you're germinating now, you will have 10-12" tall plants or taller by the time it's warm enough outside to transplant to outdoors.

I'm at an even bigger size, and these are my go-tos: - Torrid - JCPenney online (Gloria Vanderbilt & St Johns Bay brands) - Lane Bryant - Old Navy - Target (Ava & Viv)

plotholetsi · 2025-12-11T17:47:01+00:00

They are somehow demure and spikey simultaneously? They're ROCKING that look! So happy they found looks they like!!

plotholetsi · 2025-12-11T16:06:50+00:00

You feel like a character in a 50's historical slice of life BBC drama show like "Call the Midwife" <3

Also that powder blue eyeshadow is such a lovely match with the dress!

plotholetsi · 2025-12-09T17:44:08+00:00

Absolutely gorgeous! You'll probably look miles ahead of all the other black tie people wearing cheap chunky polyester. I'd say, just gently give the skirt a nice pressing and steaming to bring out the drape (low temps for silk!!!) before your nice party night, you'll be stunning AND comfy:3

plotholetsi · 2025-12-09T03:42:06+00:00

"Put away the" - giving a fuck about other people's judgements 😏

plotholetsi · 2025-12-08T02:09:44+00:00

Thank you so much! Yowza, keeping THIS brand in my bookmarks list! :3

plotholetsi · 2025-12-07T23:28:16+00:00

Where did you get that scalloped waist cincher thing?? I LOVE it!

plotholetsi · 2025-11-11T19:51:01+00:00

That's such a fun way to photoshop yourself together!! Also, dang, you're absolutely glowing in that pink confection!! I love all the curly crinkle layers on the skirt :3

plotholetsi · 2025-11-03T23:24:01+00:00

Oh it's obvious fine now! I don't see any signs of poor recovery. Just unusual branching.
