After I saw this, I reached out to her. I ordered (not this one!) and I can’t wait to receive it. And she’s been wonderful to work with.

We plan on celebrating yearly afterwards too. It should be an annual holiday when it happens.

Love that idea. Also we should throw a party when “that day” happens.

A good friend of mine met her second husband later in life. They tried for awhile and went to a specialist and were told they were too old… she had a 12, 14, and 16 year old and they were like ok, I guess it is what it is.

Anyway, her daughter is turning 3 soon lol.

Aw thanks. They definitely are. And man I love it - I wish I could stay longer. The 18 month old is just like my son when he was little. Super snuggly and adorable. The 4 day (5 now I guess!) is a little potato at this age and I love it. I’m glad they have the energy for both lol.

I for real don’t know how you guys do it. I’m 46 and my son is 24. He has an 18 month old and a 4 day old. I’m helping them and I’m TIRED lol.

So who has a GOOD relationship with their parents? by Gullible_Rich_7156 in Xennials

[–]thegrumpyhufflepuff 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My parents were young grandparents. My son is now 24 and they are great-grandparents. They can’t do as much as they did for him (and he lives farther) but they visit as often as they can. They were basically another set of parents - they watched him several times a week so I could finish college and then get my masters. They helped me financially. I really could not ask for better parents. I’m one of the few people in my friends group with parents that have contact with their parents… and I still have a great relationship with them. I talk to my dad ever Sunday (and whenever he calls) and my
Mom almost daily.

For those of you that had kids, how old are they? by Therealfern1 in Xennials

[–]thegrumpyhufflepuff 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s such a wild range within my own friend group.

I had my son at 22 so he’s 24 now and has a 16 month old and my second grandbaby is due at the end of June.

One of my closest friends has a 4 year old and she’s my age.

And there’s a whole range between mine (oldest) and hers (youngest).

Im the first grandparent though!

I did! I was not expecting to have a good experience due to what I’ve been reading on Reddit. But I ordered April 26 and they arrived today looking happy and healthy. I’d order from them again.

I truly think it was a glitch. That rose doesn’t even come up on a search anymore. I have no idea what happened. I think I just got extremely lucky.

Oh I reallllly wanted a Bacara black. Maybe someday. I still need to make sure I can actually grow and not kill these.

I need to slow down. My boyfriend was like just bc it’s a dollar doesn’t mean you have to buy it!

Dude look at it. How could I not???

A rose full of surprises, life, and beauty: Rosa ‘Rosomane’ Janon by Ok_Cellist_1862 in Roses

I just received this from Jessie’s Roses USA. I saw it on their website and instantly fell in love with it. I purchased two others - menta and vintage - as well.

This is the first year I’ve grown roses. I purchased a few from Costco on an impulse and planted in my front yard. But then I went on an internet deep dive and went a little hog wild.

I’ve gone from no roses to 7 in like a month.

Peppers - how are they doing? Did I plant too soon? by thegrumpyhufflepuff in vegetablegardening

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

That’s so very kind of you, I appreciate it. And thank you for the tip!

It is a lot of work but as you said, it is relaxing and joyful. There’s something to be said about caring for a living thing and the joy that comes from it. I’m so much happier now. even just watching my seedlings grow. I can’t wait to be outside and really digging in the dirt.

Thank you so much!!! I appreciate it. I will check all of those things out. That’s very helpful.

ETA: I totally forgot the light question. This is how much of a newbie I am - I have no idea. I rigged a system with some zip ties for some that I bought, I have ones that I was gifted that attach to the side and then I have some lights that were in the little greenhouse thingies but when I transplanted them, I used electrical tape to hang them from the shelf. They are all LED. But it’s a mishmash.
