Those are so neat! 😍

Not familiar with any of them, but they look so cool! Do you keep them this small, or let them take over their pots/containers? (I'm never sure if I should be pruning them, so they kind of take over their containers… and when I do prune something it usually ends up as a clone instead of being thrown out.)

I forgot about trimming. It's not too late, but dammit I forgot all about it!

That's at least part of what is exported as JSON from the settings menu (afaik, you get there from your regular settings menu in the web interface and it's at the very bottom)

I think you can then import to the new account?

Yeah, I have a few things that need to be split or moved, and I think there's an opportunity to do it without damaging anything this fall, after they've gathered enough energy for winter.

I've read that every 3-5 years is about how often you want to divide lilies. You plant a bulb or a few bulbs together, but as they mature the "scales" start to grow their own plants (like how garlic starts to grow from cloves that have been left out for too long).

My plan is to leave all the foliage until it dies down to the ground, then dig up a few of the sites where a bunch extra came up and try to gently separate some of the little guys to replant in smaller groups elsewhere, and hope for the best!

The cats tend to pass by the flowers in our yard, looking instead at the birdies at the feeders and the chipmunks who clean up below 😸

BRUH. They don't even wait! This guy came through at 3:30 pm, while I was inside!

These were planted last summer, mostly. Most of them had grown up at a nursery until just about bloom time.

I was surprised by how many bulbs came back with multiple sprouts at each site. Didnt know that would happen after just a year!

Thank you 😁

There's no real sense of scale - sorry - but they're pretty small berries at this point. Maybe like jelly bean size?

Hah! My yards/flowers are not at all safe from wildlife - in fact, it seems we have made it onto whatever good-eats list they share with each other πŸ˜… Possums and raccoons come by in pairs (date night, I assume, which is why the skunk comes alone! πŸ˜‰), and mama deer brought her young spotted one too

Those are really looking great! Beautiful flowerbed! Do you ever split the plants when one whole bulb decides that every scale is growing this year? I had one bulb that seemed like it did that, and I don't know when - or if - it should be addressed.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

You're not wrong! That is behavior that should be addressed - much moreso at food-related businesses than like, the hardware store, but is just good-human behavior when you interact with others. (Not everyone does that tho)

And if it is repeatedly happening at one place, it might just be someone working there who isn't doing the right thing. (Or the soap there is potent and not in a way that you like.) If it seems like it's happening everywhere, it could be more of a sensitive sniffer thing... Which isn't really a Big Deal, it just is. Like the reason we are expected to wear less cologne/perfume in some spaces, to account for others' sensitivity or allergy. As a courtesy

But not everyone sticks to that! (Also why the OP suggested that it means they haven't done it)

It requires a human to do a thing. It doesn't happen automatically.
