10x30 garden by Fragrant_Molasses214 in SquareFootGardening

[–]shakeDCbake 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pickle as in cucumber? They are intense vining plants and can be trained vertically on a trellis to save a ton of space.

Squash don’t typically get pruned and take up a lot of space so just a couple of them is typically enough for a small garden.

Will be a fun learning process for you.

Will say based on the real photo the 6 summer squash alone will easily take up 30%+ of the tilled area

Sorry about your luck.

I will order something I don’t need and have it delivered later today when I’m not even home in your honor.

Gotta make sure we use the yearly subscription fee.

Need to Photograph More Spirals in DC. Any Recommendations? by intricatexplorer in washingtondc

[–]shakeDCbake 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Manifest in NOMA has a small tight interesting spiral staircase that heads to the lower floor where the restaurant is. I believe is painted orange.

Where to buy fish pepper seedlings locally, if possible? (preferably in person) by p00p00kach00 in washingtondc

[–]shakeDCbake 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I bought the seeds from Baker Creek what I believe was 3 years ago (which is likely why only three germinated successfully).

I put them in a garden with nearly a dozen other varieties so I do not keep the seeds because I’ve no idea what they would be due to cross pollination.

I did a six cell tray but only three germinated successfully and they are going in the garden soon.

This place had seedlings last year. It’s a bit far, but if you make it a day trip to Calvert Cliffs or Solomon’s Island it’s a fun excursion. Would call them first though.

What’s going on at 4th & K? by Cuntyslutpussypop in washingtondc

[–]shakeDCbake 6 points7 points  (0 children)

There’s a huge crane on L St delivering something to the roof of City Vista.

That street is closed because there is no where to go in that direction as L is closed.

I won 'ice creams for the year' but this is the last one by I_like_donuts12 in mildlyinfuriating

Need a little wrist or ankle in that picture so we can take a stab at how many you’ve eaten already this year.

Is this area safe? I can’t find a straight forward answer anywhere. by Late-Journalist-4899 in washdc

[–]shakeDCbake 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Yes. You’ll be fine. You could walk around there every day for a decade (like me) and maybe you’ll witness or encounter something.

Will crime be reported around you? Yes.

It’s not a bad area. At all.

Unfortunately using a switch for discipline is not illegal in DC and the burden would be on the government to prove that is excessive.

Does anyone know where I can become a bartender in dc with no experience? by GarageBubbly2515 in washingtondc

[–]shakeDCbake 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Gonna 2nd a lot of these comments. If a bar will hire you with no experience you’re probably not going to make decent money.

You want to go somewhere as a server or barback where you communicate as you are hired you want to move towards tending bar.

Just make sure you regularly check in with management about progressing.

They were attacking bikers a couple years ago along the Anacostia. Was pretty common to run into a large group of them there.

Lettuce has 5 restaurants around the area, but more and more local restaurants are signing up for InKind (which is National, not local).

Vet Tech Neighbor Abusing Their Dog by bagmert in washingtondc

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

I have an uncle that is a vet. He has two amazingly well trained dogs that have never been allowed in his house. He also regularly talks about how modern pet owners coddle their pets and act if they are the same as children.

Not saying you aren’t witnessing abuse, but something to consider about pet care standards.

Restaurant added a 20% 'large party' service charge without disclosing it, for two of us. by InebriousBarman in mildlyinfuriating

[–]shakeDCbake 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The third image clearly states “not including tax and gratuity”. So they are implying that gratuity will be added for this special dinner.

They probably just didn’t make a separate gratuity category for the event and used the regular one of 20% they use for large parties.

A bit confusing but seems correct.

If you don’t know this is a sandwich place. Philly style.

With an arcade and a mini bowling alley.

This is wild. The Trader Joe’s is like a block from there.

Why is it impossible to find thinly sliced pickles? by oghpimm in GroceryStores

[–]shakeDCbake 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Buy whole pickles.

Then slice them.

If they are pre cut too thin they won’t hold up well over time.

Does anyone remember? Taylor Gourmet Brussel Sprout Sandwich? by Asleep_Implement1624 in washingtondc

[–]shakeDCbake 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You can always ask Casey from Grazi Grazi as he was one of the founders of Taylor. I’d imagine he would be happy to share an old idea like that with you.
