How’s everyone liking this so far?

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

Robin nest in my Peach tree

Reply in thread

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.

Meyer lemon tree dying - help!

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)

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

Oh and yeah... could be black locust. Not sure why I didn't tihnk of that, I have a billion of them in my yard
