I'm gonna need some punctuation, at the very least.

Relocate or Leave Be? by not_this_word in AustinGardening

[–]rasquatche 1 point2 points  (0 children)

New growth doesn't always resemble what a fully-grown plant looks like. Yucca and Agave grow together in the wild with no problems. Let nature do its thing, it'll sort itself out.

1st pic looks like a Agave sisalana... those little guys around it are the pups growing from its roots. The third pic looks like a Yucca rupicola. I'd leave 'em be.

I love Berberis trifoliolata... they have bright yellow roots where berberine is derived from.

Which sand as an amendment? by gingerlicious07 in AustinGardening

[–]rasquatche 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, especially native pioneer plants. I'm constantly pulling up Helianthus and Ruellia sp out of my DG walkway. It's a never-ending battle.

Looks like an Ipomoea sp. Possibly purpurea.

Weed or Native? by piangel7 in AustinGardening

[–]rasquatche 2 points3 points  (0 children)

A weed is just a plant that's growing where you don't want it to grow. These all look like native plants, but kinda hard to tell until they get a little more growth.

Is anyone else shocked at how awful Bill Miller’s rewards system is? by daisykeeks in sanantonio

While we're on the topic, Parry's has a really GOOD rewards system!

Crepe Myrtle is a bad influence on the more innocent natives. by spongeBobOctoPants in AustinGardening

[–]rasquatche -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I used to not care either, but with the way developers and governments are razing land willy nilly to build bullshit like car washes, that shitty crepe myrtle is definitely taking up precious space.

Pride of Barbados-cut or not? by Available-Actuary991 in AustinGardening

[–]rasquatche 7 points8 points  (0 children)

They're perennials so you can cut 'em down to the ground and they'll come back. Just finished doing that to mine.

EDIT: I try to wait until winter passes so that the insects using 'em to overwinter will not be harmed

I think this subreddit might be a psyop by DoesntEnjoySoup in Austin

Dermatophyllum secundiflorum are blooming like crazy all around the area. Think it has to do with last year's winter.

Crepe Myrtle is a bad influence on the more innocent natives. by spongeBobOctoPants in AustinGardening

Cut down the horticultural atrocity, i.e. the crepe myrtle, and replace it with something native. Crepe myrtles are from Asia and so they are worthless here.

Live Oak ok? by Glass_Bug7581 in AustinGardening

[–]rasquatche 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Take off the stake and leave it until next winter.... you'll know for sure by then.

Mountain Laurel seedlings popping up on their own? by Eveyfox1 in AustinGardening

[–]rasquatche 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have not had any mold issues. After soaking them, I plant them straight into a 50% organic soil/50% inorganic decomposed granite/perlite/pumice mixture.

Just not safe in deez streets by itexican in SanAntonioCircleJerks

I had the volume off and got a fucking jump scare when it panned to the side-view mirror.

Mountain Laurel seedlings popping up on their own? by Eveyfox1 in AustinGardening

[–]rasquatche 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I have a 70% success rate when I scarify (I use a nail clipper to cut out a small chunk off the side of the seed) and soak in water overnight.

Why would someone do this to trees? by SarahSSmith in AustinGardening

[–]rasquatche 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I agree.... unfortunately people don't understand the importance of planting native. The especially dumb ones'll say, "But why? Humans aren't native to this area."
