Any mom's who grow their own food?
Hello! This is my third year gardening. This year I plan to Preserve what I grow and save seeds as well! I live in Zone 9. But would love to have mom friends who garden/homestead. š Hereās my corn i sowed the beginning of this month. With the warmer weather my seeds are popping up.
Best way to deter squirrels?? I bought some reflective spinners. We found the little digger in my soil is a squirrel.

Yes! Were zone 7b and have about 10 pea plants coming up still waiting on the rest lol last year we had a groundhog (not so) lovingly named fat bastard that ate everything in our garden so we are putting up a fence weāre just being lazy lol
Hi there, Iām a fellow gardening mom! Iām in zone 8b, I have a lemon tree thatās a couple years old that Iām planning on pruning today, along with my collard greens and turning the soil in a few garden beds to start planting. This season I want to grow some green beans, cucumbers, tomatoes and some spring greens.
Ive been saving all seeds I find from fruits and veg for a couple years now, I have a whole box dedicated to seeds lol. My biggest concerns over the years have been birds stealing my berries as soon as they turn ripe and slugs eating my collard greens. I made a simple solution of cayenne pepper and olive oil to deter the slugs that has worked great last season. Gonna invest in some netting of some type to stop birds from stealing any berries I grow this season!
Cool
Zone 8a here! Never had a bounty besides a few cherry tomatoes and some blueberries but i havent quit yet lol
Zone 9b with tomatoes, blackberries, cucumbers, blueberries, and lots of herbs!
Only herbs. I have gone through seasons of tomatoes, pumpkins and zucchini but I donāt have them anymore, I find my herbs more useful coz when I need a sprig or 2 of rosemary/thyme/mint/chives/green onions/perilla/sage/parsley Iāll just go to my garden and snip a few off. My neighboursā mint grew under our fence over to our side so we have free mint growing nicely in the back under my clothesline lol I donāt even tend to it and it grows big and bushy

Always waiting for older sister.
I am here to vent.
For 10 years now I have been hearing things like āyou cant get married before your sisterā, āyou cant have more than your sisterā, āwe canāt do that for you because we havenāt given the same / similar thing to your sisterā. Iām so sick of this. I am in my 30s now. She a couple years older than me. Always got more than me / the more expensive things and I was ok with that because she is older.
Now itās too much. She had a big expensive wedding, I never had a wedding as I got pregnant 5 years after waiting years for her to marry. She married straight after she found out I was pregnant.
I was having another baby unexpextedly after my first and I was crusified for it beyond any of you readers can understand. I was shouted at and treated terribly while being 8 months pregnant by my own parents as she was not pregnant yet.
They continued to treat me badly after the baby was born for a year.
After her baby was born everyone decided to forget how much they hated me.
Please be aware I never wanted children like this. And I feel terrible about myself everyday because of it. I wish I had the pride she had by being married before kids but I will never have that. I blame them for not having what I wanted.
Now my kids are older I want an extension on my house (my dad is a builder and gets cheap rates it would save us thousands). Well it has to be her house first even though he has spend all his money on her ground floor extension and garden. (now she wants second story extension).
I would do it without him and try to get the cheapest rate myself but he will probably act like I have betrayed him by employing someone else to do the work. It needs to be done now as kids will go to school soon.
Iām just very pissed off but I am not surprised obviously after everything.
My partner is very angry we canāt do what we want especially as I used all my money to buy this house.

Nursery bill
Would your nursery bill be adjusted to a slightly lower price if you made the nursery aware of your child having a day off for a holiday?

Am I crazy
So unfortunately I was helping my mother in law with her phone. I saw messages between her and my husband talking shit on me. What would you do? Most he instigated but she contributed a good amount...

MIL and childcare for baby no 2
Current scenario, my MIL has my 19mo at my house one day a week. For baby no 2, the thought of her coming over every Monday whilst Iām on mat leave gives me so much anxiery. Hormones, trying to bond with baby and also being able to have an extra day with my older son (I work full time at the mo) is really important to me, but I know it will cause issues.
Has anyone else navigated this? And what did you do?

Difficult Nursery drop offs
Please tell me your experiences - not for you to relive that painful experience but trying to figure out if itās normal the way my little boy is acting (first time mum) he started nursery we are on week 4 and his meltdowns are getting worse and worse in the morning & effects his sleep ā¦
Im so worried Iām doing more harm than good, sometimes nursery right now isnāt for every child - heās a highly anxious child, terrible separation anxiety š
Whatās your experience & anything help your little one ease into it ?

Nesting
Iām 33+2, I keep seeing reels about how people are like psychotically nesting in the third trimester, the whole expectation vs reality shtick showing people scrubbing ovens and wiping skirting boardsā¦ am I the only one not getting that..? I begrudgingly did my normal weekly clean yesterday and hoovered and mopped and it nearly killed me off, and I certainly didnāt do it for fun.
