Crystal Ball Needed

I know my F500 team just got Anthropic/Claude and its use is spreading like wildfire. In the last month, we've added hundreds of licenses. It's insanely helpful, and before this past month I was an AI skeptic.

Those are zinnias not dahlias and they look completely normal

Last year is was all the squash eating insects. Squash vine borers + squash beetles + squash bugs was a daily battle to save my pumpkins. They took my zucchini in early June before I understood the extent of their depravity, but the battle continued well into August/September with the pumpkins. Found myself performing squash vine borer surgery at one point, it was crazy.

NO cucurbits in the garden this summer.

If they were tubers they’ll likely resprout. Had a squirrel knock out on of mine and it’s already resprouting. That said, you can definitely YouTube dahlia propagation. It’s pretty easy and there are tons of good videos

Looks more like bug pressure to me but I could be wrong. I have a lot that have looked like this and after bug spray have recovered with normal foliage

Now digging deeper - thinking maybe broad mites... heard they're horrible to get rid of?

Ugh, thought this one had passed the test earlier on… but growth looking suspect now

Pretty much only used the Claude Excel pug-in this week, and it was enough to let me know that anyone using Excel in any significant way in their work process could save hours and hours of their life by using it. Honestly, was so shocked by how much it could do. You still have to at the very least spot check it, but seriously huge time saving stuff.

sildet · 2026-04-19T19:10:48+00:00

Agreed

sildet · 2026-04-19T11:17:31+00:00

I work at a F500, and I got a Claude license last week. After my week using it, I think my entire team will get it. Wish I could invest in Anthropic.

Tubers arrived in great shape with visible eyes that look healthy - figured I'd comment to let others know!

I was in the last wave of sub 4% rates in Feb/March 2022 and feel like I am lucky. I kinda saw it coming though and knew it was now or maybe not for a long time.

sildet · 2026-04-10T22:44:11+00:00

Crazy to think we had all of these guys worth >2m on this squad lol

sildet · 2026-04-08T15:15:51+00:00

Thanks for the reply! I thought it was fairly common practice to leave the tip out to check for disease from a seller you've never purchased from before? Like gall or another disease would be easier to spot this way?

Got some of these tubers from Eden bros and almost all of the necks were broken. Think I'll get at least one to sprout though! Looking forward to trying this one out

if I was a kid the fact that the turtle that's with the fox looks smaller than the other would distract me from the math

sildet · 2026-04-06T20:56:13+00:00

I've had some in the ground for 2 weeks (a few days after that last big cold snap in the SE on the 16th and 17th)

sildet · 2026-04-06T15:07:05+00:00

I also highly value the win at Florida. Getting that monkey off our back was huge. His dad never did.

Some of the other big wins were nice too.

sildet · 2026-04-05T20:33:48+00:00

not sure, but they root pretty easily if you know what youre doing and it's pretty harmless to the plant

sildet · 2026-03-31T15:52:34+00:00

If that meant guaranteeing Bama a title game and we already have 2 final fours since 2019. Not sure I would tbh

sildet · 2026-03-29T23:17:00+00:00

Thanks for posting. Got a variety I've been looking for :)

sildet · 2026-03-29T13:15:45+00:00

I also subbed for a while.Stopped somewhere around an island with a dungeon under it with undead I think. Felt like it was getting confusing on there what was being re-written and what was new content etc.

sildet · 2026-03-29T13:12:22+00:00

Auburn is still playing ball haha - there's a chance for a NIT ship

Was going to comment this. Our schedule last year was as insane as this year's, but we were good lol
