Thanks for the reply and apologies for getting back to you. I typed that out right before going to bed :(

Looking in developer tools, it does look like Cloudflare is what’s blocking me. Here’s the cf-ray value: 8f4ffe74bffc22f1-ORD

Now that I’m on a PC, I can simply open the file in an image editor, resave it without making any intentional modifications, and the upload succeeds. It makes me think that it has something to do with the image metadata (maybe EXIF?).

I’ll send you a pm you a link to the unmodified image momentarily.

I tried using the lemmy.world web UI and got the following error: json.parse unexpected character at line 1 column 1 of the JSON file.

I also get an error using the web UI - json.parse unexpected character at line 1 column 1 of the JSON file.

I still can’t upload unedited pictures from my pixel 3a via Jerboa :( For whatever reason, uploading them as-is results In a 403 response. Editing them in google photos (minor cropping), saving, and trying again would often result in success.

Ultimate plant for the lazy! Unfortunately, they’re also a bit lazy…

Lazy is good for them. We’re talking benign neglect. Over attention to plants, especially if they’re potted, is often worse.

The thing about growing pineapple is the time until it fruits. If it’s in a pot and indoors it can tata few years.

I’ve had good luck with Pinetree seeds. They have a nice selection and decent growing tips. I’ve been very pleased with everything I’ve purchased from them.

Ah, that makes sense. I live in 6a/nothern hemisphere and mine are still green. Mine are in the ground and we get a decent amount of rainfall. So far they’re loving life.

Yup, if they make it through the winter then they will happily come back up year after year. I wish I had done more (read any) teaserch before putting two in the ground here. I’m going to be pushing their hardiness this winter and the plants are a bit bigger than I expected. If they do survive the winter I am considering planting a few more in a different location.

6a here. Ours are trying to grow still, but the deer keep eating them.

The USDA published an updated zone map a year or so ago. We went from 6b to 6a, which I’ve taken as license to be a bit more adventurous with what I leave in the ground.

We have a bed of cana lilies that still haven’t been killed by this year’s freeze. They usually die/get cut back to ground level and enough of them make it through the winter for the bed to reestablish.

This year I’m trying my luck with two globe artichokes.

What zone and hemisphere are you in? I’m guessing Northern and somewhere it gets cold(er)? We’re zone 6a and I left our first year globe artichokes in the ground more or less as is. They’re not brown, but they don’t look that happy after a few hard frosts. I’m surprised to see what looks like new growth on yours combined with the brown.

That’s a very nice looking area. Your Roe of Sharon is much better pruned than ours - we more or less let it to wild and trim the sides if it’s getting unruley. I also suspect yours is more mature based on the size of the trunk towards the top. Ours is still flexible enough that I can grab an offshoot and pull the whole branch it’s connected to down.

Looking at yours, and thinking about our 3’ tall one we grew from seed, I think our original plant is really a collection of a bunch of individual plants that were grown in a common pot.

Some of those are looking pretty ripe! I like to try to get a block of time to go after the bush in long chunks, but that’s not always possible. How big is yours / how many do you have? We have two. One is tiny (about 3 feet tall), but the other is pretty big/bushy (10 feet tall or so). The big one takes an hour or two to pull all the seed pods off…

Turning leftovers into fried rice generally results in one of my favorite foods. That’s not to say I don’t like more upscale options too, but man.

Oh, sorry - it was the post title.

The song in the meme is Ohio is for lovers by Hawthorne Heights.

And I can’t make it on my own (And I can’t make it on my own) Because my heart is in Ohio So cut my wrists and black my eyes (Cut my wrists and black my eyes) So I can fall asleep tonight, or die

Deep, I know.

Not to say that Dashboard Confessional doesn’t have similar lyrics, lol.

I would love to teach kids. I take any opportunity I can to mentor people at work, but in a school setting would be super cool. The pay cut relative to what I make now just isn’t worth it. Maybe in another decade when we have enough set aside…

Tomatoes, beans, eggplants, and peppers that have already set are still maturing, but the plants are nolonger putting out anything new. The raspberry weed grew like crazy, so we should get a decent yield next spring. We pulled our carrots last weekend. I’m going to have to dig the artichokes out and put them who-knows-where for the winter soon, that’s going to be fun.

All our gourds are either not producing anymore or fell victim to powder mildew.

One of our potted strawberries looks pretty pissed off because I was neglectful with water during a dry spell. It will likely be fine. If not, we have two more pots of them.

I think I missed planting fall snap peas, but am tempted to do it anyway incase I get lucky. I will plant our cover crop soon and leave the dead/dying foliage that’s already there for the spring.

If they’re edible dry, it should be fairly straightforward to build something to crush the pods and then sift out the seeds. Perhaps they could be milled into a type of flour? I still don’t think the yield would be that high, but at least some use would come of them.

No idea. The green seeds are not that big, but they are soft. Once they’re mature they turn pretty hard. Green they would be hard to process/remove from the seed pods.
