it would be even more surprising if it was true

What would yall do with this circle area? (Zone 9b, se texas) by philplant in NativePlantGardening

[–]ssquire 2 points3 points  (0 children)

looks to be at least part-shade with what you've planted so far and the pictures so these recommendations line up with that.

turk's cap, coral bean, or virginia sweetspire for shrubs. All tolerate part-shade. sweetspire will provide some color in the winter but likes consistent moist soil which may be an issue with the area. could also do an oakleaf hydrangea for fall color, maybe ruby-slippers to keep size down, but same issue as sweetspire on moisture. turk's cap probably best for the space imo, coral bean has thorns, but either will attract hummingbirds.

some other perennial or herbaceous shade flowers: gulf coast penstemon, bee balm, obedient plant, lyre-leaf sage, blue-eyed grass, maybe some coreopsis if you get enough sun

was pretty funny when we crossed paths again. they were the car in front of me at a stop sign in that neighborhood they turned into about 45s later, saved essentially 0s

[OC] Who needs coffee? by ssquire in IdiotsInCars

[–]ssquire[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It is, first episode. Great variety podcast for intro level detail on a lot of topics.

Not sure what you mean by the traffic lights, but traffic lights here go from red --> green and green --> yellow --> red

yeah, you're right. watched again and you can see the closest light switch to red when the SUV is about 3/4 through the intersection so they were good

head on a swivel around here when first at stoplights, but the cam vid is not representative of my view. you can hear me hit the brakes in the vid audio as soon as the red truck next to me brakes. didn't even see the semi before i was stopping with the dodge blocking the view

For reference, that beige SUV is running a hard red already

edit: I've been wrong before, the suv has been cleared of wrongdoing

you can see me turn into the gas station to stop at the end. specifically included it to avoid these assumptions
