I like this photo a lot more than the other one! I think it’s the symmetry of the foliage creating a frame for the coaster.

Depending where you live, it can be really hard to find ethonal free gas. As an added bonus, carburators hate having ethonal sit in them. They’ll develop a varnish. Carbs also don’t like sitting partially dry and getting all the fuel out of them is a massive pain. Yay lawn equipment.
Both. Ethonal is still corrosive and the majority of fuel systems these days are compatible with E15. That said, check your owners manual.
I was really surprised how much difference even the 10mm tube made on a 35mm lens. I am not sure how far I’m going to ultimately take this because I think I want a longer focal length (yay flighty bugs) and the amount of tube needed would be a bit excessive. I had OK luck with my 150-500, which offers a minimum focal distance of around 23" and a magnification of 0.32 at the wide end. Sadly, zooming pushes the minimum focal distance out.
Like a magnifier that goes in front of the lens? I’ll have to do some googling, thanks!
I do like the idea of flipping a lens around and am very tempted to give it a shot. I feel like this would work better on manual glass. Most of my mirrorless stuff is focus by wire, with the exception of an older sigma 35mm. They all have electronic apertures :(
These extensions tubes have all the electrical contacts for AF to keep working. I’m using an A9 and the AF seems unphased as long as you’re under the maximum focal distance.
I’m sure blackberry and mint in the same bed would be awesome /s or maybe not /s depending on what you’re into
/nocontext, lol. Browsing new? I was hoping the text in the image would give those subed here a good hint :(
Our house came with a bed of Lilly of the valley and mint. Thankfully it’s surrounded by cement, although both try growing in the expansion joints. It smells great at various points throughout the year but we’ve given up on getting rid of it. Infinite mojitos though.
Delicious invasive weeds. Plant some mint and you’ll be in for a party!

Large swaths of Detroit aren’t that great. That’s probably true of any major city, but Detroit is 143 square miles. Manhattan is 23. Thar creates a lot of opportunity to be in a not-so-great part of a city whose population is roughly a third of what it was 70 years ago. The city runs a land bank you can buy decapitated houses from for $1k. Even on the retail market, large swaths of the city are very cheap.
All that said, Detroit might finally be turning around. The city experienced its first year of population growth in forever last year and more and more people I interact with are either visiting the city and spending money there or are actively considering moving there. There are also a lot of Detroit run small businesses popping up and the region has a strong “buy local” vibe to it.
/Someone who lives nearby and would love to see the city succeed.
Vine borers have been getting my squashes lately, but agree that end of season mildew is hard to avoid.
Bingo. I’ve grown a similar verity over the past few years and the first year I was very confused.
Counterpoint: there are plenty of well off folks taking classified drugs recreationally out of boredom that become addicted. I came from a high cost of living suburbia and there really wasn’t a lot to do as a teenager due to high property values and taxes. Recreational spaces, especially aimed at teens, were basically non-existent. I imagine the same is also true in rural areas, but for different reasons.
Happy tomatoes. Ours are doing very well, but we’re going to be out of town for 8 days. I guarantee we come back to plants that are growing all over the place, instead of in their nice supportive growing structure. Oh well.
Not sure what’s going on with your beans, sorry :(
I just learned these exist! They’re very cool looking.
Seems like it, yes: https://lansinggardendesign.com/blog/2020/9/6/arctostaphylos-bark
The old bark cracks into sections as the trunk expands. This ability to shed is part of the plant’s defense against insects and disease. When each year’s skin is shed, insects and disease are shed along with it. As opposed to the skin/defense of thicker, rougher bark, as most other plants have, Manzanitas are able to have the thin, sleek, smooth bark they are famous for.
My electric chainsaws and weed whacker always start. Eventually our lawn tractor will kick the bucket and I’ll either convert it to electric or buy one.
