The succulents when you give them:
Oh and I am considering to attach a potted plant to my bike. Is that even possible? It will have to be shake resistent.

I was just going to bide my time and hope there were some left at the end but then I and another person remarked how cute they are and that there probably won't be any left over.
Plants on bikes isn't something I've messed around with but it seems doable if you're using smaller plants or high sided containers
Wow that's cool! Thx
Proplifting from party favors that you have yet to give away is perfectly fine, as long as each ~~attachment~~ arrangement still looks full.
I appreciate the go-ahead, I'll be sure to be careful!
Any idea what's happening to my tomatoes? Pretty much every one I've picked so far has looked like this on the bottom
It looks like blossom end rot to me, which is usually associated with uneven/extreme differences in water availability and with low available calcium. We get it with our peppers more often than our tomatoes, but something that's helped is:
- Dissolving egg shells in apple cider vinegar
- Straining out the now-rubbery shell bits
- Adding the vinegar to a sprayer with water in a 10:1 (water to acv) solution and foliar spraying
- Adding the shell bits to the soil just under the mulch
Treating the shells with the ACV releases some of the carbon that's bonded, making the resultant form of calcium much more plant available. Foliar spraying can help be a sort of direct injection of the calcium solution through the stoma, while the remaining shells will be a slower trickle of the necessary calcium at the root zone.
Welp, guess that saves me from posting an image of a pepper with blossom end rot! I was wondering what was getting to my anaheims.

So what you're saying is, I have to have breakfast for dinner tonight, one of my favorite things? Well darn, anything for my garden I suppose. Honey, we're making breakfast sandwiches! ;)
Thank you! I'll give this a try. It makes sense, I haven't done any fertilizing since making this bed in the spring (compost/topsoil blend from a local supplier), and haven't been the most consistent on watering...
