I really lucked out with the soil in our yard! I can grow basically anything as long as I feed it some coffee grounds once a week-ish

Oh man, now I want to find myself a Rabbiteye variety and see how tall I can get it…

Oh, neat! I’ll look them up. Thanks!

I’m a sweet berry kind of person, so I guess I’ll try and have some patience. Thanks!

I’m in the PNW! I am also very surprised to see them so early… I thought they would be ready closer to like end of July. We have lots of very happy bees around our neighborhood and my neighbors also grow lots of fruits, so maybe that helped?

My god, seriously?? I had no idea they could get so big!

The leafs are a little beat up, but no aphids that I can detect. I am a little worried about it though, I’m watching the new growth carefully to make sure they come in healthy.

Another picture before I unwrapped it

I felt this until I got to the next region. No spoilers, don’t worry, but navigating it was…. Irksome. I 100% every region until the one following Corel and I’m upset that I stopped a bit but it just got too irritating.

Oh thank god, I thought I was crazy for hating him. I wish I could just turn off his ability to interrupt me while I’m doing things. It always feels like he takes forever to say everything!

That being said, is the protorelic side quest worth the Chadley of it all? I did the first two or three and they were kind of fun but the cactuar one in the… Corel region? Is where I stopped. I think I’m nearing the end of the game, so if it’s worth doing I should pause and go back for them all.

Thanks for the help! This is great info

Any recommendations for a good fertilizer? I mostly just use some home compost, but it’s a small bit of veggie peels and left over coffee grounds in my garlic bed.

Is phosphorus something that would be added by fertilizer?

This is me with garlic

Dorky American sports actually sound like a lot of fun! I’ll have to look into that, we haven’t seen goofy fun baseball since we were kids. I’ll have to add Lincoln park to my list too, I have a bunch but I didn’t know about that one! She’s never seen a forest or a mountain so I’m excited to share all the urban forests with her.

What’s a harbor tour? Sounds fun! I’m absolutely terrified of whales and cannot swim so whale tours are unfortunately off the table for me

I’ll have a car for part of it and I’m not totally sure yet! She’s thinking August, but might be toward the end of July

My sister is visiting the state for the first time, so I’m taking her to do some of the touristy stuff (Pike Place, Starbucks reserve, mopop, etc), but I’m trying to think of some great places to take her outside of that scene! We’ll spend a day or two in Fremont, but she’s not 21 yet so bars are off the table. Any suggestions? Maybe an orca tour? I don’t really get out much, so I’m not sure where all the fun non-bar things are!

I second this. Makes sense to me, but it would be better to add clarification I think? Like, if you’re pointing to something behind glass and can’t point clearly, it might help to say like “このあかいもの” or maybe “あかいこれ” but I’m not sure how natural that last one is…

I also liked Jonas Quinn, but it took a second rewatch to get over the guy wrenching despair I endured at Daniel’s death/ascension. Absolutely gutted me, I was too mad to enjoy Jonas after that. But after the second time I agree, Teal’c became more with him than he did when Daniel was part of the team. Part of me wonders if it was intentional on the writers part, like “oh we have this big gap where character was, let’s fill it with two characters instead of just replacing one”? Or if it was just kind of naturally their interactions were more fluid.
