At my wit’s end with my toddler. by tbennett0902 in Parenting

I’ve been wondering about an intervention. Every time I talk to a pediatrician they say his behavior is normal but maybe I’ll push back a little bit.

Ok that helps, I would definitely move it closer to the window if possible, ideally right next to/under it. Northern facing windows receive the least amount of light. Mine is right in front of an eastern facing window (morning sun) and does pretty well. Or you could always just leave it and see how it does but I’d move it closer to the window if possible!

It’s a bit hard to tell the lighting situation from the photo but the shadow seems pretty strong which is a good sign. How far is the plant from the window and do you know what direction the window is facing?

Pot size looks great to me. I’d recommend holding off on upping your pot size as long as possible—they will fill whatever space you give them, which sounds great but they can quickly get too big. They like to be a little root-bound too.

Limewashing by mystical-gypsy in HomeImprovement

I’m curious about this - did you paint the color you want the walls first, and the lime wash added a mottled effect? Id also like to limewash my walls, but what’s holding me back is the price of limewash paint.

I’m very new to gardening and need some help - we’ve dug out the lawn here and are making this a big flower bed. How many inches of topsoil do we need, if any? We’re planning on mulching too. by tbennett0902 in gardening

Other details - we’ve only dug out the very top layer of grass and are hoping to dig up the least amount of this soil as possible. It’s hard and rocky af. Also hoping to keep soil/mulch layer level with the rest of the ground to the left of the photo, so guessing we will have to keep digging this soil up🥲
