Hey my comment showed up, and humans are here!

My wife gets upset when I water her succulents, she says she is training them to be air plants

Always be willing to walk away, or you are working for free for somebody else’s profit. If it isn’t fun, quit.

Yeah its weird that people keep talking about “Reddit’s content” when they haven’t created shit. At least Slashdot has always said “These comments are owned by whoever wrote them”

Not that slashdot hasn’t become crap, but it’s something.

Paper, softcover, thin rough pages.

Hardback is hard to hold on to, and I hate those book jackets they come with yet it pains me to just throw them away

“Nobody goes there anymore, its too crowded.”

Really, though. What’s the point of contributing to a thread that already has hundreds of top level posts. Something new and fresh is worth a try.

Ah, if you have one big tree already you can plant smaller ones under it, but if you don’t have the shade to begin with it may be quite hard. I only know temperate climates, I fail to grow cactus even if I try

Not in the peach tree, luckily, but there are a million birds & nests in the bushes around my house. I live in the home town of John James Audubon.

Robin are outstandingly successful gatherers, no wonder there are so many of them. My wife and I can see a nest from our living room window, and the parents make trips every 5min or so out to the yard and come back with giant mouthfuls of worms. I have no idea how they find the so quickly in the dry grass, but the babies get fat quick and are out on their own in no time.

Creating sublemmies hangs forever it seems. I was able to create one on day one of the reckoning, but not anymore.

Also, I thought Lemmy was broken but for whatever reason it performs badly in Firefox but Chrome works okay. I don’t like this because I hate Chrome/Google but it isn’t clear what the issue is in Firefox. I have NoScript, Ublock, etc. there so likely plugins

They hatched a year ago, the babies are now adults and taking over my landscaping!

over-fertilization typically appears as leaf tip burn, I don’t think this is it

They are adorable. I have no idea what they eat at that size, hopefully they can eat the spider mites that are attacking my plants!

is that a honeybee?

this seems like a prime use case for AI image recognition tools. There was some iphone app called leafsnap that does somthing like this… can you upload a picture and it finds likely candidates. Haven’t used it in years, this was pre-chatGPT era

heres some fruit up close, it tastes like cake

thanks the direct link worked perfectly, subscribed

I have grown hundreds of container citrus trees and meyer lemons are finicky. In general citrus aren’t terribly happy indoors where it is quite dry. I have mine in a greenhouse in winter where it is fairly humid and they all do great… except the meyer lemon which is never all that happy.

I strongly suggest a non-meyer lemon. The grocery store types ‘Eureka’ and ‘Lisbon’ are great, and commonly available. Also Pink Variegated Eureka makes a pretty striped and pink-inside fruit, though less productive than the others.

I have grown many lemon trees and they are all kinda similar (except meyer which is a hybrid)

I’ve seen a lot of thorny weeds but I don’t recognize this particular one. Looks kinda like honeysuckle but honeysuckle has no thorns

• ‘ZZ’ plant
• Snake Plant / mother-in-law-tongue plant
• Dracaena(sp?)

I have had these growing indoors in poor light conditions, rarely watered, for YEARS and they do well.

Yes, thank you for mentioning this or I would not have realized what I was doing wrong
