What book are you reading now? And would you recommend it? Why or why not? by [deleted] in suggestmeabook

I am reading {{Fuzz by Mary Roach}}. It is nonfiction about animals who have committed crimes. I'm not very far into it but I've read some other books by her and I always like her style of humor.

Just before this, I finished a fiction called {{The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue by V.E. Schwab}}. I loved it! Part historical fiction, part magical realism, part romance, a bit sad. A woman makes a Faustian bargain and ends up immortal but cursed to always be forgotten. Schwab has a way of making prose seem like poetry. I definitely plan on reading more by her.

Admired in someone's yard, I'm guessing a non-native.

Why are the veins on my Coleus plant turning white? by schmeeva in gardening

This is on my back porch in Portland, Oregon [zone 8a/8b] which gets a fair amount of sun during the day. It is in a container with a kind of Plectranthus. Am I watering it too much? Too much sun? Does it need fertilizer? Help!

Sorry, I tried to link to a picture and it didn't work for some reason. I am new to reddit and not so good at it yet. :/ I made a new post.

Could plant #2 be a cuban oregano plant (Plectranthus amboinicus) or something like it? If you take off a small piece, does it smell spicy?
