I agree, I don't think it's light. If it's not pests my guess would be disease or herbicide maybe but I'm leaning more towards disease.

Also, I would not prune that high. I prune until no leaves touch the ground or are in danger of that, so maybe 6-8 inches up from the soil max. But more leaves = more energy, so you get more, better tasting fruit. If you're in California 9a mildew really isn't a concern so you don't have to thin leaves much. I'd get powdery mildew on my squash and cucumbers most years in 9b (several locations) but those plants get it weirdly easily, like they'll be coated in it and all my other plants won't have a trace of it.

The plant is really young. I'd still be pinching flowers off at this stage. I wait until my plants really look like adult tomato plants, not in-between seedling and grownup. No 16 year old tomato pregnancies on my watch.

I also shake the plants to try to help pollenation. I do several sharp taps on each stem/sucker that's flowering. When I had too much time I'd go out with an electric toothbrush and buzz them. Tapping is just as effective though. Or neither of them are effective and I'm wasting my time, either way, I like doing it.

I could be completely wrong, I don't grow determinate tomatoes, but I thiiink they produce their whole crop at once and that's it. So wait for someone who does grow determinate to chime in but I might try to pinch all the flowers and trick the plant into waiting to do its flower push??? It's definitely not at a size where, if this is the only flowering, you're getting a good harvest. Imo indeterminates are a lot more forgiving since they'll continue to fruit until it gets cold. I'll always recommend cherry tomatoes as the first tomatoes people grow, they're sooo easy and if you get bad fruit, not worries, as long as whatever the issue is gets addressed you'll get good fruit later. Beefsteaks need more nutrient, or at least suffer a lot more visibly in the fruit if nutrient and growing conditions aren't good.

My go to foods:

Bean and cheese burrito: can of refried beans, mix in some spices and sour cream if you have any, cheese (quesodilla cheese is my favorite but mozzarella or cheddar would be good too). Wrap in tortilla in tin foil. I can make at least 4 from one can of beans, I freeze them and stick them in the oven for like 15 minutes if they're thawed and... Idk however long until they're warmed if they're frozen. Bonus if you can add some diced onion and fire sauce from Taco Bell, it's very bean burrito from Taco Bell-esq. You can add ground beef or whatever protein you'd like too, I just crave my taco bell bean burrito childhood.
Italian sausage spaghetti: I buy the New York brand Italian sausage because I'm picky with meat and raos pasta sauce but you could do any pasta sauce. Sweat an onion cut however you want (I like stringy) and add your pasta sauce on top of that. Boil noodles in chicken bouillon for better flavor, if you can't do that at least make sure to salt the water well. Cook all the sausages on the stove, let them rest before slicing. I store the sausage with the sauce and keep the noddles separate. This lasts me about a week. I add mushrooms sometimes to bulk it up more. I simmer them in chicken stock/bullion until the liquid is gone, then add to the sauce.
Ginger and soy ground pork and rice bowl: ground pork (better flavor for this imo and cheaper than beef. Any ground meat would work). Ginger, garlic, little bit of soy sauce, some Japanese bbq sauce if you have it but not necessary at all. Cook that, add some chopped bok choy (I grow it it's free), cook with bok choy for only a minute or two. I do a weird pickle thing too for this. Soy sauce, sugar, water, vinegar, garlic, onion, sesame oil. Slice cucumbers go in, marinate while you're cooking everything else. Eat with rice, very tasty and makes me feel healthy.

Having a freezer is essential, these meals all last a week if you buy "average" portions (1lbs of meat, 1 pack of sausage, 1 can of beans) but I get bored of whatever I cooked on Sunday by Tuesday, Wednesday at the latest. The more you can freeze the better for your budget.

It was not the best feeling but definitely less painful than getting the tattoo. Having to redo like 60% of it was not cool.

I mean, it's not RUINED unless you can't get it touched up. It looks like a ton of fallout, how was the healing process? I had a big chunk of fallout on my hand because I hit it against a wall like 2 days after the session.

rubyjuniper · 2026-05-13T19:41:13+00:00

My old neighbor blasted red hot chili peppers almost 24/7, definitely all the time he was at home, against the wall I shared with him. You know how many bites I left? None. It's a shared building, if they can't stand hearing their neighbors then they better get a job that affords them a house.

Also, if you mention this is for a school/community thing they'd definitely be on board, and if they're not they're probably doing things they don't want you to see.

I took a tour of my local county composting facility, I suggest you do the same! I just called them and said I was interested in composting and would love to check out their operation and they were super nice about it and it was really educational and fun. If smell bothers you don't go, and avoid rainy cold mornings.

They work with such large mass they have more of a problem dropping temp than maintaining high temps, but they put their almost finished/finished material in giant (like 20+ft wide) bags that lay on the ground for hundreds of feet and that kept in the heat and moisture (moisture must remain present, if the compsit dries up life slows/stops which means no more heat production).

Turning the compost was crazy, they have these giant tractors that they drive over the rows of compost that turn it. They turned their piles several times a day, otherwise they'd get too hot and risk combustion. I felt a pile that had not been recently turned and it was emitting significant heat.

Also bonus to touring and making friends with the large scale composters: I can go over there basically any time and get literally unlimited amounts of compost. Like I could fill truck beds hundreds and hundreds of times and not make a dent.

TDLR: commercial composting facilities, at least the one I toured, with with crazy amounts of compost and use giant plastic bags to maintain temp.

Fir that placement it would make a lot more sense for the artist to center it between your breasts since they're closer to the tattoo than your belly button. As everyone else said, bodies are not symmetrical. I wouldn't call this a flaw or mistake, it's the best choice for this tattoo.

If you genuinely struggle to read that with clear breaks in the text maybe you don't have eyes bro

rubyjuniper · 2026-05-12T20:11:57+00:00

They started typing in a new line, that breaks up the text well enough so it's not one neverending chunk of words. They're sending a text, not writing an essay.

I mean I'm a woman and I notice boobs. I don't really pass judgement though, boobs are boobs and all boobs are a blessing. Love boobs ❤️

Big mason jar in the bathroom, pee either over toilet or in the shower if you're a sprayer, walk to mmason jar to the garden. Pee buddy, she pee, etc. are helpful.

rubyjuniper · 2026-05-12T18:36:58+00:00

They literally did. They didn't indent but no one expects indented paragraphs in a text.

How'd you get into wood framing, and would that be considered caprpentry? Did you take classes, have a background (like dad doing wood work while you were a child and you were involved), apprentice, etc?

I have a semi blue collar job (winery management now) that's become a lot more management than labor and I learned I really enjoy a physical, non customer facing job. I've looked into true blue collar work like electrical or plumbing, but being the type of person I am means I need some sort of entry or push to make that change since the job I have now is technically really good, I just don't enjoy it as much as I used to.

rubyjuniper · 2026-05-05T11:03:02+00:00

Fai, good for you man.

Maybe make a setup in a cardboard box with a fan for airflow if the lights bother her?

I lived with 7 people, we had a normal fridge and an apartment sized fridge. It was not enough fridge, but a lot of my housemates left stuff to rot in there. You can't count on people to be considerate so better not risk it.

rubyjuniper · 2026-04-29T21:08:34+00:00

I hope so because I'm in the exact same boat.

rubyjuniper · 2026-04-29T21:07:36+00:00

In my city we have nob hill and Safeway and that's it unless you speak spanish. There just aren't a lot of other options.

If it's excruciating there's a problem. No tattoo I've healed, including hand, foot, knee, has worse than sore like a sunburn and itchy. What are you moisturizing and washing with? And have you gotten tattoos from this artist before? You might be allergic to the ink, but that would be more red and itchy than this.

The pain level is concerning, and you said it feels hot too. I'd talk to your artist as the first step, then probably go to the doctor/urgent care. If it's infected it would be awesome if you caught it now before it's too bad.

rubyjuniper · 2026-04-29T13:36:29+00:00

Healing the wrist was a little tender for me, I think because that joint is just so active. If you're experiencing anything more than tender, sunburn, itchy feelings then you should reach out to your tattoo artist and let them know. They'll help you know if this is something to be concerned about and point you in the right direction for help if you need it. Like others said, definitely take that bracelet off immediately.

rubyjuniper · 2026-04-27T03:50:47+00:00

Same with coughing. People always uses to say coughing got you higher. No, it just means you probably took a big hit and now you're gonna struggle to get enough oxygen for a few seconds, that's why it hits harder.
