@J.Musser Love that sign!! Going to share that one around here! I saw a cute one about Jesus and Facebook-can't remember how it started but ends with Seek His face and read His book. Yours was better. Sorry about your flat tire. We bought snow tires this yr-turned out to be a good investment!
The question about when to fertilize seedlings came up in my vtc queue. I've been comparing and get why it's a dup, but your answer's a bit more detailed and people are liking it. Guess that can be said for lots of dupes tho. Are you voting to close it? I want to be a responsible voter and dups are hard.
I took the plunge and decided to agree with close-vote, but I don't think I formatted the link right. I copy/pasted from the one that was already in the box from the previous closer, but the whole question came up, including the answers. Oh well, I'm trying! Long day here too & gotta eat. Hope you've had 5 burgers or 5 lbs of chicken or both!
If you want some, I'd be happy to ship some your way.
Cool news though-last fall you taught me how to dig up a begonia and bring it in. It's been thriving under my Gro-lights and is now flowering! Makes me happy!
Especially since I have no idea when I'll be able to plant outside this year.
@J.Musser Thanks for bringing this to my attention. I'm busy but will definitely address the problem soon by leaving her a comment. At this point I'd like to delete the comment I made but others upvoted it and I'm not sure what to do. In the meantime, here's your vegetable for the day!
@NiallC. Hi. I'm sorry to be part of something that took you away from your important duties! I'm going to post a comment of apology on the question, and will send you a message here later when I have a few minutes to think how to properly word them.
@Sue You're correct that it doesn't directly address the question, but the other post doesn't either and it's getting positive attention. I'm concerned that there's some ganging up on stormy here
@NiallC. I think Bamboo's post directly answers the question, and the other two don't. I don't know about ganging up, but stormy made the (random) statement that tulips produce a toxin and kill themselves, which goes against my experience. Fine, except that she didn't add a reference, and after kevinsky commented, still no attempt at adding a reference. Thus a dv from me.
@J.Musser Fair enough. I just get a little perplexed about this site. OP asks about tulips, gets an answer about crocuses (which are not even related) and it gets upvotes. Another answer talks about tulips, and gets downvotes, flags, delete votes, and lots of comments.
@NiallC. lol. well the crocus answer does make something of a point, as crocuses are generally hardier than tulips, and failure in zone 4 with a November planting of crocuses does seem to be applicable to the question.
Now if that was me, I'd have made it a comment, not an answer, but everyone's different...
@J.Musser The lilac seed question's still mine! I've done all the research, and just got our laptop fixed so I can cut/paste it all together, which is much harder than the iPad. Expect my answer in a day or two!
@NiallC. @NiallC. Please see my new comment on that question. It sums up who I am and what I tried to do. It was obviously a "rookie mistake," although that's no excuse. I in no way meant to hurt Stormy's feelings or make unfounded accusations.
Unfortunately I think the other answer came after Stormy's, and might have elicited the same kind of responses. Again, no excuse.
Today, we're shipping the new "Activity Page" of the Profile here on Meta SE, so you can test it out and hopefully share some feedback and suggestions before we ship it network wide. Hate words? Assuming you're signed in, just click your face up in the top bar, and you can see it right now. Or,...
I check out a lot of questions that look objectionable in order to learn stuff. That poster hasn't helped me, and I wouldn't want to think I've helped people just cuz they've looked at my questions.
I guess its like asking questions here. The vast majority of my questions here are filler questions (originally to help with the q/day rate when it was low)
and I ended up asking by far the most questions of any user.
But that doesn't stop them from being filler questions.
At least they have an average score of over 5, which is decent.
@J.Musser True. I did a search of something the other day and a question with the sh.. word in the title came up. Normally I'd read that to see why it was even there, but if I read it now, it looks like that op reached me in a good way.
The other thing I don't like about the new page is the helpful flags thing, but somebody already commented about that. Makes lots of people look un-helpful!
@J.Musser I respectfully disagree. Those are not filler questions. You and some others who provide the most questions are exceedingly smart, which is why a lot of us average users can't answer :)
This year some of my Gurney's Whopper strawberries, a June-bearing variety, produced a few berries in the fall. That might weaken the plants for next years crop. Will culling them for this be effective or do they do this randomly ?
To people like me, those are just questions! Kinda like when somebody asks us something biblical we've been studying for years, but to them it's brand new and importanto!
@J.Musser I forgot to screen shot but will look again. It's somebody who was instrumental in the forming of SE and stepped down a couple of years ago to start a different company.
By the way, you contacted me before Christmas last year because I'd won something or other, and I asked for a teeshirt. Both my sons are programmers, and their faces were an absolute picture when they saw me wearing it, more so when they realised I'd won it, the funniest thing, I laughed till I cried
We have people knocking on our door all the time offering "free" assessments.
We don't do much and are 100% anti-pesticide.
D doesn't like the big holes from the skunks, so sometimes he puts red pepper flakes in there, but that makes us sad cuz even though it doesn't hurt them we know they don't like it.
