Same ones I use every day, my 10x42s

We have a rabbit and a cat. The cat has been with us longer. Whenever I’m petting the rabbit, the cat comes up and wants to be pet too. And only with the hand I’m already petting the rabbit with. If I try to use my free hand, he’ll ignore it and head bump the hand petting the rabbit.

That assumes the buildings can handle them. A company I used to work for was planning to put solar on pretty much all of their buildings. Until they found out most of their buildings couldn’t handle the weight without significant (expensive) reinforcing. Many of their installations ended up on the ground instead.

I kept reading Orangist as Organist, which given the ending took me a while to realize I was reading it wrong

I have a cat, a dog, a rabbit, and chickens. Now I’m wondering what people assume about me because of them.

I think people who have active dog breeds (like shepherds, huskies, and other working dogs) are probably active themselves. Beyond that it’s more telling to me how they treat their pet, regardless of what kind of pet it is.

Thank you for taking such good care of him. He’s a lucky kitty

The little black specks look like thrip poop.

Best chance to get rid of them is probably to smother them in some way. Neem oil or liquid soap mixed in water and sprayed on the plant, or sprinkling the plant and soil with diatomaceous earth are probably what I would try first.

For the neem oil or liquid soap, it’s usually something between 2-5 mL (0.5-1 teaspoon) mixed in 1 L water.

Find out if your local county or municipality has a required timeframe. By us it’s every 3 years.

As far as how to tell in the short term, is there a tank between your house and the drain field that you can access (has maybe a round metal or concrete cover or a plastic riser with lid)? If so, lift the lid and see if you can see the top of the pipe going in the direction of the drain field. If so it’s likely draining fine. If the liquid is near the top of the tank and you can’t see a pipe, you’ll want to get someone to look at it sooner rather than later.

Thanks! They’re growing in my vegetable garden but as long as my strawberries don’t look too stressed I’ll try watering that area less.

I’ll check around for aphids too. Our trash cans are on the other side of the house

I look forward to hearing how the cleanup goes

Putting the wire fencing (hog panels?) over what looks like a greenhouse frame is an amazing idea and I may steal it

It’s emulsified like you’re making a vinaigrette and my grandma always serves it warm
