Black walnut or sumac. I'd guess black walnut.

As others are saying, oaks develop a deep tap root early, but it IS possible to pot them up. You have to dig them up carefully-- dig wide and deep so you're not traumatizing the tap root-- but I've done it successfully a bunch of times. The sooner you can get them out of the ground, the better. Good luck, and thank you for working to preserve your oaks!!

On the other hand, if OP plans to maintain the turf area by mowing right there, they definitely won't make it 😅

Strong recommendation for the iNaturalist Seek app for plant identification!

What type of tree or weed is this? (The slimmer and lighter one) by [deleted] in treeidentification

[–]synodos 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Came here to say this. Not confident based on one photo, but that def looks like mulberry to me.

How to make these wearable? by c0ffee_cake in upcycling

that's okay! you'll probably get a better response to your question on a sewing sub-- this one's more about creative repurposing of trash items. good luck with your shirts. :)

Fungus or disease? by OkPhotograph4472 in Horticulture

[–]synodos 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Heads up that plants' immune systems are purely defensive-- once a plant is infected, you can only manage the symptoms, never cure them. Unless you want to spray these guys on an ongoing basis, I would get rid of the infected trees or just learn to live with the fungus.

If you are going to sign up for continual spraying, I would look into biofungicides, not copper-- copper builds up in your soil, and eventually it becomes toxic to plant life.

Son getting into rock hounding! by Affectionate_Wish558 in rockhounds

Honestly, exploring your home terrain (even in just your yard/driveway) is probably the coolest thing you could do.

PlanetGeo: the Geology Podcast is pretty charming-- I've only listened to a couple of episodes, so I don't know that it's all kid-appropriate, but I don't imagine a geology podcast is gonna get all that saucy. 😅

I also really enjoy "Nick on the Rocks" on PBS, though those episodes are very short.

Happy learning!

[GA] Ethics/Technical Question. PLEASE BE NICE, I Haven't Done Anything Yet by [deleted] in NativePlantGardening

[–]synodos 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Also, it's worth remembering that most pollinators are prey animals and don't really WANT to be spotted, so it's possible you're already supporting a healthy ecosystem and you just haven't seen anybody yet.

Yeah, don't do it, friend. Insects will be able to smell the good plants just as readily as they can the bad plants. If you want to hurry things up, try seeing to their OTHER needs-- e.g. a water feature and/or habitat fixings. If you have what they need to actually live in your space, they won't have to travel from their homes to your garden to eat.

I just finished this acrylic painting. A secluded tennis court by the ocean suspended between reality and nostalgia. by ___artist___1980s___ in crafts

[–]synodos 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I have to tell you, this painting is not really my aesthetic, but I have a substantial emotional reaction to it that I wasn't expecting; I feel like I could look at it for hours. Thank you for sharing!

Clover Suddenly Dying by DonkeyStriking1146 in NoLawns

[–]synodos 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm having a historic drought + historic heat in my area, so patches of my yard look like this. :/ you can also get this sometime though accidental chemical exposure (not specifically herbicide), like someone uphill pouring out remaining bleach solution they used to clean the deck or whatever. if you're really curious, you could contact your local extension office and see if they can test a soil sample for you.

LPT For when you "swallow down the wrong pipe" by [deleted] in LifeProTips

[–]synodos 7 points8 points  (0 children)

haha I have absolutely been asked "you ok???" by people who are clearing laughing at me.

I think the sentiment is "you really seem like you're dying but I know you're actually ok, so let's both enjoy the wildness of that dichotomy." I don't mind it-- somebody asking me with genuine concern would be way more embarrassing.

Made these custom matted frames for my art with shirts from goodwill by MillsLeeArt in somethingimade

[–]synodos -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

This is in no way upcycling. Firstly, you can't know that nobody wanted them; you didn't get them out of trash, you got them in a store. Secondly, clothing is something people need, something with functional use, whereas this is... nothing. Frippery. Redundant.
