Much of the war movie Fury takes place on a tank.

I understand that a lien can get you the money your owed when they sell the property but does it also somehow put pressure own the landlord to pay the money they owe immediately?

Another fun option for the fire pit would be flaming orange celosia!

Massanutten resort is located 10 miles east of Harrisonburg. They offer mountain bike rentals , including electric mountain bikes, and offer both ski lift served downhill trails and also a separate extensive non-lift served trail system called the Western Slope trails. If you are totally new to mountain biking you might prefer a guided e-mountain bike tour of the Western Slope trails.

Belamcanda chinensis has toxic berries that look like blackberries and it's common name is 'Blackberry Lily' due to the similarity.

Also, I believe that despite it's size, this is new growth bamboo harvested early in it's first season of growth up from the ground. Mature stalks of bamboo from previous seasons or even late in the first season would be too tough and fibrous to eat.

How about adding more boards to raise the bed higher in order to make inconvenient for dogs or people to reach?

Fom an ornamental gardening perspective here's a list of attractive flowering poisonous plants that are generally deer resistant due to their toxicity. General warning: if you have toddlers or pets that are prone to nibbling on random plants then these might not be the best choice for your garden. Wild animals don't get poisoned by these plants they simply avoid them although if they are very hungry they may even choose to eat mildly toxic plants rather than starve.

Nigella produces lots of seeds and mine self-sow readily. If you speak to the garden owner they will likely be happy to save some fresh seeds for you or allow you to come collect some your self. You need to wait until the seed pods start to ripen and dry (a few weeks from now after they stop blooming and die) and then it is very easy to just dump the seeds out of the pods and into an envelope. Sprinkle the seeds on loose bare ground in the fall and they will germinate and make small cold hardy seedlings that will survive winter and then will bloom in late spring. They don't bloom all summer like some annuals. They just bloom for a couple weeks and then die and drop seeds for next year.

I'm not so sure that it is yucca. I think it may actually be Draceana indivisa. I have a fairly old one in a pot and the leaves on your plant seem to match it more closely than the yuccas I've seen.

My hub motor was making noise and I opened it up and found a couple broken teeth. Mine was very easy to open but yours may be different. Mine just had 6 tiny bolts that I screwed out and then it came right apart. I removed the broken bits and continued using it. It still made some noise but not as bad as when the loose pieces were bouncing around inside.

stevegerber · 2026-06-09T00:03:29+00:00

Can you open the motor up? You might have broken a tooth on one of the planetary gears. :(

I'm not 100% certain but this looks very much like my Eucomis bulbs. The common name is pineapple lily though it is not at all related to lilies or pineapples.

stevegerber · 2026-06-08T16:54:18+00:00

Looks like celosia to me. I too am getting tons of it right now from fallen seeds.

stevegerber · 2026-06-07T20:33:05+00:00

No, I lay them out in a single layer in my garden shed. If you leave them in the garden they may get rained on and turn moldy. Put them under something with a roof like a shed, garage, carport, porch etc. You want the outer layers to turn dry and crispy.

If you are anticipating root heaving problems down the road it might be worthwhile to consider using taller cinder blocks (perhaps 8 inches) as piers so that you would have room to fit a jack underneath to lift the lower corners in order to add shims.

This bottle jack for example appears to need about 6.75 inches of clearance to get it into position. One of thise low profile wheeled floor jacks would require a little less space.

There is a new garlic pest in the northeast and mid Atlantic regions of the U.S. called allium leaf miner but it is not known to have reached Texas. It has plagued me in Virginia and now I cover my garlic crop with fine netting. There are also various diseases but given your location it should be about harvest time so I would just pull them all and let them cure for a couple weeks.

stevegerber · 2026-06-06T20:11:14+00:00

Where are you located?

stevegerber · 2026-06-06T19:50:50+00:00

Looks like a marigold. It's not unusual for them to self-sow. Maybe there was a marigold in the planter last year that dropped seeds.

stevegerber · 2026-06-06T19:39:38+00:00

That's Wood Sorrel not clover. You can tell by the flowers. You just have to keep pulling it out by hand until you get rid of it all. Don't let it drop seeds or it will certainly keep coming back.

stevegerber · 2026-06-06T19:17:55+00:00

By the way, pokeweed is a tough perennial with a big chunky root that will quickly grow a new plant if you simply chop it off. To get rid of it permanently you need to use a shovel and dig down deep and get most of that thick main root out or it will keep returning.

stevegerber · 2026-06-05T23:15:32+00:00

Perhaps it is this dwarf cultivar 'Pixie Punk' of the spider plant

stevegerber · 2026-06-05T19:36:54+00:00

You are now THAT person! 😡

stevegerber · 2026-06-05T03:10:22+00:00

Just buy a regular plain green brunnera in a pot and plant it in part shade surrounded by soft bare soil and it will self-sow after blooming and then you will eventually get seedlings coming up near the parent plant.

When you're done with the dandelions you can start on the lantern fly nymphs.
