@GrahamChiu It does seem unfortunate, but if they can't be bothered to provide a little more information to get their question answered, they probably aren't future regular user material. Around here it seems like we let questions sit open for a few days before we close them for inadequate information, so it's not like they're not being given enough chance to see what we want before we Hold/Close.

@NiallC. 9/12 of the plant tags are plant ID questions, 2/12 are diagnosis. Burn it!

@GrahamChiu When a bounty is offered, the payment is removed up front. So he had 126 before he offered the bounty, offered 100, now he has only 26. gardening.stackexchange.com/help/bounty

@Sue I've been wondering the same things for months. Keep meaning to ask about it, then forgetting. Thanks for the answer @J.Musser

Now apparently 7.1 Questions per day. I wonder how many days of history they look at to determine the numbers.

@GrahamChiu Last time I checked I think it was 4.something. So I think so.

warm i've got. rained back on thursday though, still a bit damp\

Well, garden is a little to damp to be planting lettuce yet, but at least last years carrots are all harvested.

@JamesJenkins an Agricultural Science and Agronomy Stack would not be a duplicate. The Gardening Stack On-Topic Help gardening.stackexchange.com/help/on-topic lists "plant biology, beyond what is generally gardening knowledge " and "large scale agriculture and/or the business of gardening" as Off Topic here, which is a good share of what an Ag Science and Agronomy Stack would be covering.

@J.Musser That was a fun pairing, wasn't it? I never thought to look if my peppers survived through Saturday night, but then everything froze solid Sunday night and removed any doubts about the growing season ending.

I don't strictly know that she does exactly that. What I do know is for about a week, my wife kicked the cat out each morning around 4 because the cat was looking for attention, and every time about 2 minutes later the toddler screeches, then the cat RUNS out of the room.

I should make one of those Animal Confession pictures with my cat. "When nobody wants to pet me at 4 AM, I go walk on the toddler until she wakes up screaming."

I was wondering why we suddenly had 50+ 'late answer' reviews

@J.Musser seeya

I could smooth them out, but that would require me to actually do it. lol

For the most part my garden is too, but there's a few little ridges that allow small puddles to form and remain

Used sheet plastic last year, but I didn't like how the water pooled in the dips, figured it would lead to rot issues.

two more on the vine, one of which is probably almost ready

2 so far, one rotten from a bug hole in the bottom.

Only reason I can still find my watermelon plant is probably because I laid out some old cardboard around it to keep the weeds down.

I think my tomato this past year was a Better Boy. It's doing pretty well considered I failed to weed around it.

lol

@J.Musser That just gives you time to eat them before picking more. ;-)

That's some impressive failure.

@J.Musser not even good for burning. I asked a relative that heats with a wood stove, they said it would take 2 years to dry it and they'd still be really bad at producing heat.

@J.Musser Every winter my boxwood elders throw a fit and lose branches and I daydream about chopping the whole line lot. Haven't done it yet, but if they get much more dead-looking I might have to

@J.Musser That's a hard one to fix.

I pretend to have a green thumb by populating my house with plants that are very hard to kill. It works wonders

True. The benefits of, among other things, a well-varied crop rotation.

Unintentional type

I know, just thinking Glyphosate Resistance.

@J.Musser While funny, it's off target by at least 211.

All this crocus talk reminds me. I know a guy that has some manner of fall-blooming crocus in his lawn.

@J.Musser weird. They're thick as grass up here.

That's why I like the crocuses. They come up, bloom, and then usually get snowed on, all in a week.

think they start coming up early April around here.

of course

meanwhile hers were at war with a horde of daffodils

lol. maybe that's why her tulips never amounted to anything.

one google-search later them too.

So now I find them boring

near as I can figure I've been over-exposed to the standard yellow trumpet daffodil when I was growing up. Mom's front garden was pretty much nothing but daffodils for years.

good to know, but I figure they'll manage. My yard is mostly river silt.

Looks like. Would give my crocuses some company in the spring.

My gardening side says they're pretty little things while they last though.

My agronomy training is reminding me that it's safe to let them live until May, but easy to kill them any time. lol

@J.Musser Purple Deadnettle

@J.Musser Chickweed?

Is there a correct process for contesting a question being closed as a duplicate?
