I have a question for experts in Roses.

The leaves of my roses were fine before I started to deadhead the dying roses.

After doing this I noticed caterpillars ate the leaves.

My question is: does deadheading the roses attract the caterpillars? If yes what should be done about it?

Such a weird experience. A recruiter reached out to me about a job. I met with them and they actively discouraged me from applying. "Pay isn't enough. Isn't the kind of work you are interested in. You don't seem excited, don't bother going for an interview."
Its extra weird because recruiters often approach me abt jobs that are wildly inappropriate for me. But this job was kinda interesting. I've never gone so far as to meet with a recuiter before. Don't think I'll do it again.

I doubt this will reach many interested folks, but I do have two snakes for sale from my private collection - a Hog Island boa and a ball python. both are chill animals who eat frozen/thawed prey reliably.

Gardeners: do you have recommendations for reputable resources/experts on planting seeds directly in the soil? I’m in USDA zone 7B with a last frost of April 15 (probably a little earlier this year) and I don’t have energy to start seeds inside and transplant them. They will go into raised metal beds prepared with quality soil and an in-bed vermicompost system. Thank you. Also open to suggestions for hashtags and groups. #Gardening #GardeningMastodon

#canada #quebec #bueauengros #staples bought headphones today. As usual, clerk offers to sell me warranty then tells me, without it Staples will not refund or exchange once box opened, even if they are defective. I say "I don't think that is legal." She shows me on the bill "headphones cannot be returned." Says "that's the law of Staples"
But I am right. The consumer protection act says regardless of merchant policy the must exchange refund or repair defective goods https://www.opc.gouv.qc.ca/en/consumer/topic/exchanging-layaways/refunding/goods/defective-goods/

I thought it was weird that #Korea sells #CoffeeInABag, then I remembered that #Canada has milk in a bag and that’s probably objectively weirder.

Taking a shower when it's raining feels wrong to me like a weird inside/outside taboo mixup. 'Maybe I'm bathing in the park. Did the roof of my bathroom blow off?'

#sourdough fresh out of the oven. Took nearly 15 hours to get it to rise sufficiently. Added less water than previously so it was much standy-uppier. Also, I managed to find caraway seed finally. My mouth waters.

House smells like latkes this am. Arms covered in tiny oil burns. Knuckles have little shredded spots. All signs point to a hannukah party last night.
40 potatoes, 8 eggs and 8 onions, 4 cups of matzah meal, 2 cups of vegetable gravy, 1 wheel of camembert, 1 teeeeeny jar of caviar (herring) = latke-poutine for 60 hungry #hannukah party people.
Latke-poutine is the traditional seasonal dish of the Jews of #Quebec (at least this one).
Joyeux hannukah de #Montreal tout le monde!

#sourdough #sourdoughbread i have been working on my first starter ever and fiding it tough going. It has been bout 3 months. It only ever rises a tiny bit and when I have tried to make bread with it, it gets nice and sour but hardly rises. I feed it whole grain wheat or whole grain rye. Any tips for a newbie to get a livlier starter?
