LallyLuckFarm,

Arizona, California, Florida, Massachusetts, Nevada, New Hampshire, New York, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, Washington State and Wyoming are participating.

It’s a shame more aren’t participating but I can see the reasoning behind staged access and iterative improvement. The real pity is that data they’ve already got won’t be preloaded in this stage. It would have been the nail in the coffin for Intuit and other companies’ predatory practices on lower income folks, at least as they exist currently.

LallyLuckFarm,

Leave your personal device and IDs at home

If you’re able, bring a burner to record and distribute evidence of civil rights infractions - be safe and don’t be obvious about recording.

LallyLuckFarm,

He might just need more time, three days often isn’t a long enough period for them to fully acclimate to totally new surroundings. It’s probably worth giving him another safe space that isn’t the litter box, maybe one of your moving boxes with some of your clothing in there for bedding.

Realizing that replacement is off the table for you given your rental conditions: most of the ceiling fans I’ve come across have readily accessible screws for cleaning or replacing the individual blades - could temporarily removing them be a solution? Give him a chance to feel confident in the space and then start putting them back as his comfort allows? In one of my old rentals it was on me to swap the blade orientation for winter/summer, but your terms are likely different than mine were.

Alternate ways of communicating/saying "I'm listening"?

Quick background: I live in a house with my sibling and their parents. My sibling is not legally or biologically related to me, but they ARE my sibling. My sibling’s parents are not my parents, but we are collectively a ‘family,’ in many senses of the word. I call my sibling’s parents “the Elders of Plumley” as...

LallyLuckFarm,

I’m coming at this from a lens of hypervigilance and mirror/model behaviors, so I hope this is helpful and am apologetic if it isn’t.

There’s a certain range of engagement between parties in a conversation that feels “right” to many people. Sometimes that engagement from the listener comes in the form of eye contact, facial expressions, or body positions - or in the slight changes in each of those signalling devices. Most people are more highly attuned to noticing one of these than the others, separate from how well they perceive or interpret these signals overall. There could be a number of ways for your sibling to signal that they’re listening - occasionally nodding their head, making eye contact at times, allowing how they’re feeling to show on their face, or just small comments like ‘yes’, ‘no’, ‘okay’, or ‘uh-huh’.

For me, learning how to perform these smaller tasks as a listener made these kinds of interactions easier overall - I could spend a small fraction of my bandwidth getting the information I needed without having to spend the energy on an argument, especially one about whether I was listening. If your sibling gets frustrated when they are questioned about listening, framing it as a way to prevent their own frustration may be a way forward.

I wish you the best of luck

What's growing on, Beehaw? (Garden Chat)

Today marks the beginning of the second full week of Spring in the northern hemisphere, even if some of us are stuck in second winter. Share your garden goals, projects, challenges, and successes for this growing season; share your tips, tricks, and garden hacks, or anything else you’d like. Let’s all help each other grow...

LallyLuckFarm,

Busy Friday here. Trying to figure out how much time I can offer this morning at the library (helping local students make a compost pile) before I have to come back and keep working on projects here. But it’s been gray and rainy for several days now and my motivation is not totally present.

Hoping to play a little TOTK this weekend myself, actually. Maybe some time around the fire pit too if the weather is nice enough

LallyLuckFarm,

I hadn’t heard that, but that sounds like a huge missed opportunity. I loved the master sword trials from BOTW and would enjoy having new and more intricate shrine puzzles for the new mechanics

Starting a Serrano, a Hungarian cheese pepper, and a cherry tomato in my backyard! (files.catbox.moe)

I’ve mentioned it in the weekly thread but these are sitting an inch deep in nutrients and water. They drink it down, and I refill it when they need it. Its a hydroponic method called kratky. I don’t have a hose or a lot of room so this might be a good solution for me. Excited to see how it goes!

LallyLuckFarm,

Is there a certain pot depth you’d recommend? I imagine part of the reason is to prevent excess water wicking into the substrate in the pot, but would be concerned somewhat about accidentally air pruning roots in a gap.

LallyLuckFarm,

I was curious how you’d float or secure the plants in the nutrient water, thanks for sharing! Wishing you many happy harvests of fresh food!

LallyLuckFarm,

Homegrown Harvest: a season-by-season guide to a sustainable kitchen garden from the American Horticultural Society is a good one to check out.

LallyLuckFarm,

Thank you! The secret is killing a ton of plants until you improve enough to keep them alive, and then killing more until you can keep them happy bee fingerguns emoji

Spider mites are a tricky pest when the plants prefer a dryer soil, but I’ve had some success with a layer of sand on top of the potting mix, which might be worth a try. And there are so many cool varieties of basil that I totally encourage you to try from seed! I know you’re going to have that kitchen garden rocking in no time

LallyLuckFarm,

I’m very excited to see how this works for you! Wishing you the best luck finding your peppers and remembering to take lots of pictures to share here bee laugh emoji

LallyLuckFarm,

Here’s a little PDF for you from treesaregood.org about pruning but you should totally make a thread about it ;D

LallyLuckFarm,

My bad, I have a habit of getting them in a row

LallyLuckFarm,

We hit 90F yesterday and I watered some of our starter trays like six times, I feel your pain. How are the pumpkins’ roots looking? If they’re starting to bust out at the bottoms (or sides of you have that kind) it might be time to think about giving them some more space, and the additional soil will increase the amount of water they can have available throughout the day

LallyLuckFarm,

I think they’re all looking good! You should be proud of them and yourself

What did you end up changing to protect the pumpkins, if anything?

LallyLuckFarm,

I agree with @PaddleMaster about the protective gear if you’ve got permission to do the work there. Have a change of clothes and some rags with texture, soap, and water to wipe any skin that gets the urushiol on it.

But hooray for the rest of the green you’ve got going on!

LallyLuckFarm,
