My husband's coworker raises chickens and we've purchased eggs from them before (which we both love!!). Turns out they were wanting cucumbers and like any inexperienced cuke grower, i had way too many lol. Ended up giving them a basket of various peppers, tomatoes, and cukes that we already knew were extra in exchange for 2 dozen eggs and fresh honey. Super stoked!!

(Also not sure if this kind of post is allowed since it's not 100% gardening related so mods feel free to let me know and I'll remove - I just thought it was fun but wasn't sure where to share!)

Edit: thank you for the award!!

Have a lit of pickling cuke! Would like to water bath can in the jars shown if possible?

I am 100% the spare human in his eyes

Green beans have been super fun! Just wanted to peek at stuff and enjoy the lightning bugs and fireworks too

Have been getting hit with a lot of nausea and lack of appetite lately and I knew there was a possibility but was still in shock! My husband and I are excited but nervous. We made a doctor's appt to be sure but according to my husband the test went IMMEDIATELY bright pink after I passed it to him to sit on the counter lol. This is our first time taking a test and our first to-be kiddo. Super excited 🥹

Our bathroom fan recently stopped working so I removed the cover and unplugged the fan and tested the plug via a flat iron and it didn't come on. Based on that I assumed that the outlet wasn't functional and figured replacing the unit unit would be a next step rather than just tue motor - I turned off the breaker for the bathroom to remove the unit but the plug is somehow getting power per my voltage tester?

I did a live-dead-live test and the tester was working normally. I also plugged in my flat iron again (that does indeed work!) but it still doesn't come on even with power apparently going to the plug.

I read that this could indicate a loose neutral somewhere? I'm not an electrician so if that's the case I may sit this one out but I wanted to ask if there's something I'm missing/overlooking?

For reference the fan looks original to the house at around 20ish years old. Meter is picking up somewhere between 10-49V. I do have a voltage meter as well if that would be a better method of confirmation

Newer to home owning and we have what I think is a silver maple tree in the front yard. Sprawling roots have tilted a portion of our sidewalk and are shallow.

I live in zone 6B. Any best management methods for the tree and reducing impact of the roots?

Also would planting flowers or something around the base to beautify things a little be an option or are the roots too in the way?

Possibly going to view this 8ft Olhausen today. Besides checking the cushions and for any bad marks/gouges is there something I should check for?
