This was a blast to make. I built it during my pomodoro breaks and seeing it come together was a joy. Next up will be the GQuuuuuux as the store got the kits in! It's a lot more intricate and I've got acrylic ink to use with my dip pen for panel lining, so I hope that my skills can be taken to the next level!
So last year I had tried using row covers to save some of my kale, spinach, broccoli, and cauliflower from bugs. I cut conduit tubing and hammered it securely to the ground and slid pvc over it making hoops. I draped the meeting over and secured it with clips as well as bricks.
Well, the wind just wrecked it all, leading to decimated and futile attempts to secure my row covers.
It seems like bunnies and the bugs leave my tomatoes alone, so this year I'm going to clip garden fencing and cage the kale, spinach, and broccoli to encircle square foot sections and then drape netting over reach individual cage. This way the netting has less free material to be caught by the wind. The only thing I haven't figured out is how to tie the netting to keep it snug around each cage. I could do the mesh drawstring bags as an alternative, but that would cost more than a fool of netting from what I've seen.
Hey I was wondering which stratagem you tried out on a whim but ended up really liking? I've been switching it up especially since I read that EAT spam can mess up missions, as that was one of my go-tos.
For me it has to be the gatling barrage. It peppers a concentrated area and can hurt all enemies from what I've seen. I love using it for Breach suppression and yesterday I didn't see anyone shoot any rockets, so I swear it knocked down a dropshop on an elimination mission.
Its use case is definitely limited, but when that case is present those repeated explosions feel nice to see.
I couldn't find them after a week or so when they should have been readily visible. I looked up statistics and apparently only 2-10 percent of the caterpillars survive. I also read that captive breeding can be a problem due to parasites spreading through the population and due to overconsumption of milkweed resulting in not enough being available for all of the larvae. The solution? Next year I'm gonna add butterfly weed and other native milkweeds to allow for more eggs to be laid!
Update: I got air mattress nozzle adapters for my pump and it sealed perfectly! Apparently this is just a larger version of the more standard pinch valve on smaller inflatables.
Original post: I was setting up an inflatable pooland all the other adapters were the standard size pinch valve and I was doing alright until I came across this big guy. It's similar in design but the diameter is almost an inch wide! I thought maybe they wanted me to fill up the pool's walls with water but there's no threading on this valve. What type of air hose adapter would fit this big guy?
I had loved this game when I had gamepass and when I saw it was available on Android with bonus episodes. The turn based game has a lot of replayability with characters that play differently and different episodes which remix the rules and abilities. The soundtrack is my favorite part because it's the right blend of chiptunes and killer sax riffs.
It's currently 5 bucks. I got it for free between google rewards and play store points from subscriptions, but I'd have paid for it because of my enjoyment on gamepass.
The Missouri Primrose is a pretty hardy plant and propagates easily. They bloom in the evenings and their flowers are spent after the end of the next day. I caught it blooming and decided to catch the emergence of these ephemeral blooms.
Side note I have a lot of plant pics. I don't want to overpost so I'll space em out
Or is my plant just happy to see me?
Between work, the heat, and dealing with clay soil this took way too long to complete! I love how it turned out. The next step is using a hoe to slope the soil over the gravel, tamp it down, and plant some sedum ternatum for groundcover.
