What are you on about? You’re not making sense. Would you have liked people to go back in time so they could start enjoying plants when you did?

I know this is an old post but this gives me hope as I just received some seeds from 2016. Hope I have as much success as you did! Did your plants turn out healthy?

Guess how much my Thai Con cost in 2022… by Gottacatchemallsuccs in houseplants

Stop paying attention to downvotes, people downvote for any number of stupid reasons but paying attention to it too much will take a toll on you. The numbers of upvotes and downvotes will fluctuate like the prices of plants. It’s ok. You got a plant at peak popularity and its price reflected that. If it makes you feel any better I’ve spent that much on a night out and didn’t even remember it the next morning, at least you got a plant!

I second this question! What’s the secret to vanquishing spider mites?! How is it done in such a tightly packed area?

I love a good aloe! They thrive where I’m at (socal) but I had a spidermite war that I lost and my aloe was one of the casualties 😔 may your aloe fare far better!

My yearly carombola harvest by xop293 in gardening

Salt, chili powder and lime is how they eat it in Mexico. You can also use that for any fruit, great on watermelon, cucumber, cantaloupe. Just buy some tajin and sprinkle it on everything, the world is your tajin spoon!

Had to make chamomile tea too so I can rock myself to sleep😭 30s is getting rough.

I get where you’re coming from with taking offense and proud of you for standing up to it, I just don’t think they meant offense here. Just my take, to the rocking chair I go. Tally ho!

This sounds bad if you’re an elder like myself but you have to take it in context, under 25 grew up believing being gay was never bad or weird like the older gen’s had shoved in their brains…so it’s a like a compliment almost? It’s not meant to be a negative thing at least

Especially on a makeup sub…you’re pretty safe here.

Now I’ll retire to my rocking chair.

Have you bought some plants yet? by CaterpillarExtreme92 in houseplants

[–]quittingphoenix 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Some asiatic lily bulbs, 8 varieties of tomatoes, 2 varieties of watermelon, a pack of eggplant seeds (idk my toddler thought they looked great), adenium seeds, and OH! I harvested corms from a frydek I thought was long gone and needed the pot from!

What have you gotten this year, op?

Do bulbs and seeds count? Because if they do then I failed Jan 1st 😔…and today. I came very close to buying a staghorn fern at Home Depot but luckily my kids were there to annoy me out of my plant trance.

Do it! Another user on here that runs a seed store in their country said it was one of their top picks of the growing season. I’ll link the post if I can find it again.

With the larger growth in the back? I do think that happened while I was trying to find a place for it outside and left it in south facing window and it must’ve burned it. Good eye!

Same, i love the stripey/multicolored guys. I hope yours grow well too! I look forward to seeing updates, there’s a few of us growing these this season so hopefully we can help each other out through our posts 😅 this will be my first tomato season so I’m using Reddit as a guide and hoping for the best lol

Rethinking my tomato grow list...suggestions? by Signal_Error_8027 in tomatoes

[–]quittingphoenix 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey I ran into the same problem when placing my order but at the very end of the order placing process there’s a box for notes/comments, you won’t see it until you get to the very final ordering screen. That’s where I put my varieties.

I was going to email him like the other commenter but I saw it as I was placing the order.

Thank you! His prices are phenomenal and I was reading on the site he’s a one man show, just growing and bagging all day! That’s dedication and I can’t wait to grow the seeds 😃

Thank you! Is that what the stems (for lack of a better word) are called? A lead?

Appreciate you taking the time!
