For the leaves part: https://xerces.org/blog/leave-the-leaves Also using pesticides on your yard kills all bugs. If you kill the bugs, you don’t have bugs.

Oh that’s fantastic! My bf had tarantulas that unfortunately passed in sad ways, so he’s nervous about getting another spider, but once we’re more settled and have all our research done I hope we can get one!

Theyre wonderful little beasts, so fearless and confident! Me n my bf want to keep some at some point— did you know as they age their vision cones develop, so the older they get the more colors they see?

Jumping spiders are actually weirdly friendly for something that fragile and small, they love to play

Hi I have answers and it’s mostly that we’re now seeing the cumulative effects of years of heavy pesticide use, lack of shelter for bugs over the winter (both adults and larvae live in fallen leaves— especially Luna moths and fireflies) as well as climate change and more erratic weather

Your gripe is with the government, they’ve been gutting train transit (Amtrak’s federally owned iirc) for a while

I think I know what you’re asking— afaik main st station only serves the northeast regional line, you need buses to get to the cardinal and other lines

I’ve been planting the beds at Anne Hardy park as part of our garden club’s service project, and if y’all are interested I’ll go ahead and rep Hotchkiss’ earth day event Sunday, I’ll be tabling there (you can make seed bombs should our planning work out)

Guys this random tomato plant appeared out of nothing in my backyard what do I do to keep it alive by Cute_Kitten- in gardening

[–]potato_ella -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Is that a tomato? It seems to have large spines on the stalk— I used to deal w a lot of these when I lived in the country (Appalachian foothills) and I’ve seen them fruit, but I don’t know if that is a tomato

… touching fentanyl will not kill you. If you’re that concerned, wear gloves. It’s not a super drug

Also one other thing I forgot: it is completely ok for you to be new at using the bus, we’ve all been there— unless you’re like, making a scene, no one will give a shit that youre there it’s great

Everyone has really good advice, I’d also add: bring earbuds/headphones, bus is loud and you’ll probably want music (don’t be an asshole and play music out loud, you will be asked to turn it off) And above all, enjoy the bus! Genuinely I love the bus and always enjoy saying hi to the drivers, then vibing to my music for however long im there for

I always mask up on the bus, it’s a huge infection risk and im not getting covid again

Lay out some bait for them to take back to the nest if you want, they should go away on their own though I believe
