LallyLuckFarm,

Right now it’s a little closer to Spearmint, but I lean towards having plants slightly hungry while potted. I planted out a bunch for us about a week ago, so they may have had some time to gather what they’re after from the soil more adequately. I’ll report back on that for you for sure. I’ve also got tenuifolium just about ready for planting so maybe a little compare/contrast is in order.

Thanks! Last year we had so much rain that people gave up on their gardens so I’m very hopeful after a nice start to June.

LallyLuckFarm,

I am also still here from then, though I don’t often comment in some spaces - like this one. Sometimes I feel that I don’t have much to offer, comment-wise, due to being a member of several of the most privileged groups of people and (possibly unnecessarily) being acutely aware that some spaces don’t really need more opinions from the intersection I inhabit. bee shrug emoji

LallyLuckFarm,

It doesn’t look like BT will help but ipm.ucanr.edu/PMG/PESTNOTES/pn7401.html has several methods you could apply.

LallyLuckFarm,

Really just further clarification on which laws should protect, but not bind, their in-group.

LallyLuckFarm,

Palms are very outside my wheelhouse so I just looked those up and wow! Those flowers are impressive! I’m really happy knowing that you let the pollinators do their thing with it then do your maintenance on it.

What are your plans for the snake plants you’ve propagated? Adding to your collection, sharing, or some other equally awesome thing?

LallyLuckFarm,

I also start and prop way too many plants sometimes without a real plan for all of them… I say just offer them up somewhere! We’ve posted about them on some of our social media sites, or put up little “plants for sale” flyers at a nearby gas station and our town library. Even if you’re not going whole hog and going to market it would be a great way to share your work and maybe swap for some more awesome plants to play with.

LallyLuckFarm,

What a great kind of tree to have! It’s a shame it’s struggling - iirc y’all have some tough fungal diseases to manage down there and some of the treatments are pretty involved. Have you gotten to eat any of the fruit? I feel like that would be a wonderful way to really get to know the tree even if it is on the way out.

LallyLuckFarm,

Nice! We’ve just got a grape stem, so I’m a little jelly (hah)! Please do share a picture of your veggies, I’m going to show it to mine and call them all slackers

LallyLuckFarm, (edited )

That’s great! Some radishes are super quick to grow, but I really enjoy their greens too. I don’t mind seeding them out in other places where they’ll get crowded out if I know I’m taking their tops.

Sometimes I have trouble uploading pictures as well, whether through the Beehaw pwa, site, or another app. One workaround I use is

![](imageurlgoeshere)

to display the pictures in the thread, so if you or other folks use things like imgur or imgbb that’s an option as well.

LallyLuckFarm,

I love everything about this project of yours, and hope it goes beautifully for you! Hopefully you and the kiddo are cool about spiders, they also enjoy hanging out in that kind of space!

I have several young goji and sincerely hope for fruit this year from which to do seedlings. Were the seeds harvested from your plants, or ordered from somewhere?

One of my gardening buddies had a look of horror on her face when I told her I was doing showy chard in the gardens (chardens? might be). It’s a plant which has some strong feelings associated with it.

LallyLuckFarm,

Very cool! I’ve had success tip layering them as well; our first round got shaded out a little much so I’ve got their rooted cuttings in more sun this year.

bee eyes emoji Holy moly! And I totally agree - I did ‘bright lights’, ‘silverado’, and ‘bali’ this year and am very excited for them to do well. While I sort of get folks who are hesitant about it, I very much don’t understand saying no to plentiful, beautiful, delicious food.

LallyLuckFarm,

What a nice thing for her to do! Here’s hoping your reno goes smoothly enough for you to have time to enjoy the fruits of her labors

LallyLuckFarm,

This link seems like what you’re lookibg for. Are you in the US? If so, you should also reach out to your nearby extension office for extra documentation and support for the transition of the farm. They’ll have best practices and resources for growing particular crops in your area.

LallyLuckFarm,

Bergamot is a good substitute for oregano and the flowers can be used for teas though

LallyLuckFarm,

Just chiming in to agree with folks saying it’s likely active dreaming. @bownage and @viking have good advice for signs to be aware of to distinguish seizures - I’ll leave this here for you as a hopefully reassuring resource. It’s good to be aware of the signs, but I really hope you’ll be playing “guess the dream” instead because it’s a ton of fun and I genuinely believe it’s just active dreams.

As a general guideline, though, it’s safest for you and your dog if you call their name to wake them before any physical interventions.

LallyLuckFarm,

Happy to share!

LallyLuckFarm,

bee laugh tears emoji it does! That’s so weird, I don’t see that image anywhere on the page itself

LallyLuckFarm,

I love vines too! bee heart emoji

Those guys would eat your Goji berry plants too, if you had them… Jesse from No-Till Growers had a video about potatoes in which he recommended taking a potato and cooking it, mashing it a little, and placing the mash and some compost - each in their own breathable bag - into a bucket of water and letting it ferment for a day or two. Then take that and water your spuds with it. It should give a microbial boost to your plants to help them be less attractive to the beetles. I’ve also read that the beetles can be a sign of nitrogen imbalance in the plant. In the past with small crops of potatoes I’ve just manually picked them off but that can be a hassle with more than a few plants.

LallyLuckFarm,

I’m so glad it’s doing better, yay!

In my experience (I live among white pines) pine straw as a mulch holds less water than aged bark mulches or leaf mulches. I do tend to use the pine straw for my Spanish lavenders - several years ago I did some trials between the two and the pine straw ones fared better than the leaf or wood chip ones did. I’m unsure how the difference in native climate changes their water preferences but they tend to appreciate drier soils overall based on what I’ve read and experienced. Hopefully someone with amazing English lavender can weigh in on this.

LallyLuckFarm,

Chiming in to wish you luck with the rebuild! I recently built a PC for my wife and I after ~15 years of not building pcs. Don’t be worried, be methodical and have your motherboard diagram up so you can reference what you’re pulling and adding as you go.
