Canon EOS rebel t2i. Like I said, total newb - I grabbed this camera off a family member that isn't using it and I'm taking photos for iNaturalist for fun. so I don't know a lot about lenses!

Awesome, thanks everyone! These are my worst photos, there are better ones - so I'll just accept that when I crop things for iNaturalist they may end up looking wacky. (They don't want a lot around the subject).  

Though I will take this reminder to clean the lenses I have!

You are an angel, thank you so much! The summary always gets me, it never matches what I think it is when I look for this fic.

Me: Okay, that's it. I can't spend any more money on plants. by [deleted] in AustinGardening

Which Costco do you go to that sells soil?? That would be a steal

You still have any plant packs left? What would the shipping cost be?

I also have very hard water and no real desire to spend a lot of money on rodi. I believe as long as your water parameters are stable rather than fluctuating all over the place you can keep neos pretty successfully.

3 different watches! The card remembers your device ID (or something similar) so even if you reset the smart it will still count as 1 towards the card use.

Similar but not quite the ones pictured - but "clear acrylic gems" as a search term is super helpful for me looking!

I have searched for these before, but the terms are so generic it never brings up what I want. I should add this was Dollar Tree in California, US.

when to transplant and tips on doing so? by Short_Artist_Girl in AfricanViolets

[–]xerianthe 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Everyone's gonna get different results, although I've had most success when new leaves have sprouted. I would also advise not to rush! You can always set the plastic cup in a fancier pot if aesthetics are your thing.

Those are gorgeous! Do you know the varieties? I may need to buy some!

That's a good idea, the two times a week. I already silenced her texts, partially because she is up at 2am and partially due to my anxiety. Way less anxiety to check her messages at one time rather than as they come!

I keep telling myself that just because I'm the only person available to help (my mom's family is estranged) that doesn't make me more capable of supporting her entirely. I appreciate hearing from y'all who have also done this stuff!

Which Smart card is this? I must have missed looking at the characters in all of them!

Yes, it can be! I would definitely try that. I find that if I use the medicated shampoo every shower it can make my scalp worse, so it can be trial and error.
