I’ve literally got boxes of apples in my house thanks to my grandma’s orchard. I eat about 4-5 a day. Now I’m spending a lot of extra time on the loo. Are the two related? Or is this because of something else?
‘m 17, not in school but I will be a senior when school starts again, and I don’t need money. Yet I decided to start working to get out of the house.
Well I started about a month ago, and I’m hating it more and more everyday(while everyone else is telling me to just wait because it will get easier–BUT IT’S GETTING HARDER AND HARDER!) and I just can’t stand it anymore. It’s a fast food job, and I feel like Bill Gates working in a coal mine–lost and feeling like I’m dying being in a new place. It isn’t a hard place; but I would rather be in an orchard in the blazing heat picking apples and peaches, getting barely paid anything for the crazy work rather than work at fast food. It’s taking a toll on me and I’m getting more and more depressed working here everyday.
My mom wants me to stick it out til school starts(the end of August) and I told her I would but I’m literally crying as soon as I get home about the depression–and last time I cried about something that’s not a death in the family or something was 5 or more years ago….
Why I hate this job:
1)I feel secluded even though I’m in the main part of my town, where everything is happening
2)Everyone there is nice but there’s a few that always want to f*** with me
3) I have always, in high school, and in overall life, I hate doing multi-step things…In fast food, there’s a million steps and ways to do everything, it’s just too much for me…. I don’t remember stuff that well either so it doesnt help.
I am getting married in September, and there will be a ton of ppl around my house.
I am looking for ideas on sprucing up the outside of it. It is a 1899 fieldstone farmhouse. I have one strip of garden (about 12 feet long, 3 feet wide) beside my front door. So far int here I have some hostas, dahlias, bleeding heart (which is DYING!) clematis (also dying rapidly), lavender, and gladiolis.
I want to add some colour to the garden. The glads are probably not going to be flowering by Sept 6 (my wedding), and who knows about the dahlias.
What flowers can I plant that will be shoing blooms and look smashing for Sept 6th?
I live in zone 5, the garden is out in full sun most of the day, and the soil is pretty rocky.
Also, I have kids and a dog, so they need to be family friendly plants. I would also plant flowery herbs!
Thanks for the input!
I’m moving into a duplex and we have flower “boxes” along the side of our house. The boxes face the north and there is a house right next door so I’m guessing there will be a lot of shade.
The boxes are completely covered in weeds and have not been taken care of in a long time. Should I just empty everything out and start fresh? If so, what kinds of flowers will be low-maintenance? Can I grow herbs?
I’ve never done this before and would absolutely appreciate any advice you’d like to give! Thanks!
I live in MN…
Also, would planting in August be too late?
My husband is a very selfish person. He expects me to take care of him, take care of the house, pay all the bills, work full time, and have a business on the side.
He never takes me out. He has only gotten me two gifts in the whole almost 3 years of our marriage. He has never gotten me flowers, ever. He never cooks for me. Never even sends me e-cards. If I need help with something and ask, he either ignores the question or says no; then expects me to help him whenever he needs it. He won’t go to counseling. He won’t go to church. He won’t even call his friends.
Could he be depressed and selfish? Just depressed? Just selfish?
I want this marriage to work, but I am emotionally empty. I no longer feel what I used to feel for him.
We don’t have children (he says we are not ready), although I want some so bad I cry by myself at night.
What can I do?
I mean help him get out of it.
I’m wanting to spruce up the yard of the house we are renting. I don’t want to spend a ton of money on perrenials and annuals that have already grown, so I started with one ring around a tree in the yard with just seeds and it’s working great. Problem is- I live out in the middle of nowhere and can’t find any seeds anymore, everyone’s sold out of just about everything except herbs. So I was wondering if anyone here has every used Instant Flower Garden, and what were their experiences with it?

I would like to start growing some fruit/veg but am a complete novice and will only have a small patio and/or window boxes. I would love some advice about what plants I can grow in pots (esp things I can start with now but also things I can plant next year). I would like to try chillis, tomatoes, strawberries, herbs, salad leaves and any veg that will grow in a pot. I guess its late in the season to start now but hopefully there are things I can try now? I also want to have a few plants in pots that will be green for as much of the year as possible to brighten up the concrete patio. Again I would appreciate any advice.

I have a great little spot off my patio that I would like to plant a few things in this summer. For the past two years we have had a pest prevention company spray around our house. As much as I hate it, there was no other way to control the ants (and I found a teranchula in the back yard, no joke). So, do you think the soil is contaminated and I should not grown anything in the bed? Thanks for your help.
