Peas and beans! Great recommendation. Did a little looking and they can grow in five gallon buckets, which should be perfect. Wish I could do more viney plants like melons but my space is extremely tight. I’m going to start my lettuce and carrots earlier this year so they have a chance to do something before it gets real hot out. Temps here are generally pretty nice, though I did lose an entire batch of black swallowtail caterpillars to the heat two years ago. Those little buggers can’t take much above 85F.

Good options for vegetables or herbs to start from seed in zone 7a? I’ve only had success with marigolds and thai basil from seed, and I’m working on a more limited budget this year, so I’m trying to do more seeds rather than starter plants. Also considering trying peas this year.

Reddit enables unhinged people to be awful. I never had anything as bad as your issue happen, but I did have a user who I once disagreed with continue to follow me around and message me for years after that minor disagreement, claiming that I made them suicidal. I eventually got sick of them and blocked them, but it was bizarre. People like that shouldn’t have access to social media sites.

Man, now I really want curry.

This is an excellent read. Thanks for sharing.

Hard disagree on body wash vs soap. Soap always leaves a weird filmy feeling on my skin no matter what brand I use. Plus having to lather up the bar is annoying and I don’t want to deal with wet washcloths in the shower. Give me a poof and a bottle of body wash any day.

This tracks. I get Starbucks giftcards (as gifts, not for myself) and typically load them into the app so I can order ahead and spend less time waiting at the store. It pisses me off to no end that when I get to the last dollar or two, I can’t use it without reloading like $20 onto the app. I refuse to do that and lose the money.

Good. Now they need to start enforcing bans on corporate facial recognition technology use everywhere.

So embarrassing! Even that gaudy sash doesn’t hide it!
