Is there still hope to see this one bloom?

Hello! I bought this house a few months ago, and this tree has been in the landscape. I’m unsure how long it’s been there, but I take it as for awhile maybe. The leaves are huge, but no signs of buds yet! Is there still hope it’ll flower this season, or am I missing something? It’s planted where rainwater collects a lot, so I’m thinking maybe it’s prioritizing photosynthesis due to a lot of water? Do I need fertilizer to promote buds? Any info is appreciated, as I’m brand new to these guys!

Update on my seedlings!

They’re all about 2 months old. 2 pots fell over about a month ago, but all seem to be doing fine! Is this pot size good for them for now? Anything I should be doing more? I heard since it’s currently growing season, I should be watering DR’s more so the base grows thicker? Any tips appreciated!

How long should I wait for these guys to bloom?

Hello! I’ve bought these two from Walmart clearance about 2 months ago, and they’re looking much healthier! (It had yellow leaves and looked all sad) how old would you estimate these DR are? Also, is there any specific reason why the leaves on one of them are more narrow at the top?(shows in picture 3 and 4) I believe it was the one in worse condition than the other. Are the pots too big? I keep seeing posts mentioning pots being too big for some, but I’m not sure what the size of the pot would affect

Best paint roller/ brushes for a drywall home?

As the title says… I’ve seen online and in stores that some brushes/rollers work better for different reasons. The whole house will be painted in satin paint if this changes anything. It’s 1300 sq ft so I don’t think it’s a huge amount, but I’ve heard going cheap is bad due to lack of paint spread/ fuzzies going all over. Any brands that are on the cheaper side but reliable? I’ve tried searching online, but I’m just getting a ton of ad/promoted searches. Even tried here on Reddit, but I’m seeing a lot more about how to physically apply paint, rather than supplies.

FedEx charging an import fee after delivery?

Just wondering, is this normal that they’re requesting a charge for delivery after my product arrived and everything? The product came from Sweden to the US. Why was this not included in the shipping costs? I already paid $53 in shipping? My product came on July 9th, and invoice date is July 28th.

Do I truly need a plumber to fix this?

1 year old water heater, 1st time home owner. How safe or easy would a job like this be? In case I choose a plumber, what will a rough price be for a job like this?

Friend or foe

I accidentally dropped a pot of desert roses. Are these little guys safe for the plants? Possibly even beneficial? I’ve seen no issues with the plant plants except for this drop 🤦‍♂️

Is there anywhere else to check for deployments/opportunities?

I know there’s mobcop/tour of duty. However, is there anywhere else other way to receive missions? I know the RNCO is supposed to send out emails. However, this new RNCO is not doing that. I asked why and their words were almost exactly “well nobody is volunteering for the ones I do put out, so why do we need to put out more”

I’d like to know all available resources to check for missions for my soldiers. I have plenty of soldiers interested in going on orders.

Any suggestions for future care for these guys?

They’re approximately 3 weeks old. I got them in Miracle-gro cactus & succulent (I know, I heard the horror stories but it’s all I have around me that’s cheap) and some of my own sandy soil as a substitute for perlite. I ordered 35 seeds from Amazon, which 34 have sprouted! It’s roughly an 80/20 mix of soil and sand. I let them soak in a kiddie pool of water every 2-3 days. They currently get minimal sunlight, but I soon plan to let them get about 4 hours of direct sunlight per day! Any do’s and don’t? When they’re ready to bloom, what can i do to ensure they bloom properly? There’s currently no fertilizer other than what’s in the soil.

Bonus - I saved 2 from Walmarts clearance section. Are they doing well? One has some pale leaves, while the other has shiny and dark green leaves. I plan on repotting them, and eventually directly planting them into my yard when I know they’re healthy enough to survive! I’m not sure if the Walmart ones are doing well or not. I know they looked slightly worse, in which I’d assume they were overwatered or something in Walmart. I live in zone 10B with extremely well draining (and sandy!) soil. I’m sure my soil also lacks nutrients though.

Please give suggestions! I want to watch all of my little guys give the biggest blooms!

ID? United States, Florida

I feel like it grew practically overnight. I had some fallen broad green leaves sitting here for about a week, and when I went to pick them up I seen this guy. Is it safe to stay around plants or will it eat up alive ones?

How to get dog to stop whining when I leave?

She’s a pitbull/lab mix, approximately 3 years old. Every time without fail, if I go out the front door I can immediately hear her whining. Similarly, if I have my door closed to my room at night, I’d hear her leaning/bumping on the door while whining as well. I have a German Sheppard as well, so she at least has a companion with her at all times. I now end up literally tucking both dogs in at night in their own room, but every time I tuck her in, she’s quite literally shaking (which I assume is due to knowing she’s about to be in a room without me for the night?) is there any way to help this? She’s already very anxious as it is. Even with just raindrops outside, her body is absolutely trembling and shaking nonstop. Let alone thunder or fireworks…

Desert Rose 6 days old!

I started these guys from seeds. 34/35 are growing so far! Some are still very small/barely beginning to grow. This is my first plant I’ve decided to try growing too. I threw a bunch of mixed seeds in my backyard to also grow, which they’re starting to grow as well, including a couple of sunflowers I accidentally grew from bird seeds! Pretty proud of myself for being a father to a few hundred 😂

Any idea why my bass booster volume decided to give out?

Ive hooked this up myself about a year ago. When I first remove the “remote bass” cable, the bass booster works. I believe this cord only goes directly towards the bass adjuster knob, which is shown in the 2nd picture. However, if I disconnect the cable from just that side, the bass booster still will not work. Any idea why this is? I’m trying to refrain from taking about the whole interior trims just to find the solution lol

Any really good deals on propane grills nearby?

It’s probably a bit niche, but any good deals on grills? Looking at about a $150 budget. Wanting a full size, nice grill. Ideally with a good amount of “counter space” if possible but not necessary!!

How to get the yards soil healthy?

Florida, USA. I think it’s rated 10b? I’m completely new to gardening/planting, but I’d like to make this yard look nice. I just know this soil has absolutely no nutrients in it to thrive.its very sandy, loose, and dusty. If I were to use a shovel it can easily go all the way in without a problem, so no roots to hold down the soil in several places. All I’d like to do is to get it to grow anything, preferably native plants/flowers that require minimal maintenance to grow (I’ll be fine trimming plants or stuff like that)
What’s the first step to getting this soil good? I assume it’ll be a few months before I can even attempt to throw seeds in this yard. I have 2 dogs, and I started to bury their poop about a foot down just for the sake of it not smelling in the backyard. Is this good or bad for future planting? In one specific spot I dug, there was dirt with a little moisture, and it was a little brown so maybe that spot specifically might be better off and with nutrients? Any and all help will be appreciated!

Affordable and reliable preventative maintenance but also pet friendly?

Hello. I just bought a house and I’m looking for an outdoor pest control. However, id still like for it to be pet friendly. I have 2 big dogs and wouldn’t want to worry about them doing anything in the yard at some point. I’m in central Florida if that gives you an idea of the types of chemicals! (Biggest issue/worries are termites, fire ants, sugar ants, and roaches) as of right now, I don’t see any pests in the home and I’d like to keep it that way!

Got it! Florida, 220k, 5.375%

I’m sure this is more than your normal post, but I’m just very proud of myself for this accomplishment.

1300sq ft 2bd/2ba
I got this solely on my income/debt! I’m 23 and used the VA loan to accomplish this! My immediate family, and most of my blood related family are in poverty. Whether it’s due to substances, or just poor financial literacy. I’m happy to have broken the cycle! I’m the only one in my immediate family to own anything other than a car.
Im not mentioning this to say I’m better than them, however now we are able to have family gatherings in an actual home! I’m excited for what’s in store for the next several years! I definitely do not plan on this being my forever home, as I will be purchasing more homes in the future! Stay ambitious!!

First reenlistment question

There’s a unit going on a mission I want to go on, but id have to reclass. Will I be able to ask for another course still? Or will that be up to the gaining unit? For example, if I wanted a leadership course (like BLC or ALC) will I still be able to get a slot for that on my current unit, or will I need to wait until the new unit to schedule a date for courses?

Best way to dumb down an iPhone?

Hey. I’ve been considering getting a dumb phone, but there’s things all of them lack, that I’d like to keep. What is the best way to download down my iPhone? (15 pro max) to limit the amount of doom scrolling I do? I’d like to prevent downloading apps, while also being able to keep the ones I already have (like my bank, Spotify, car insurance, etc) I also want to limit what I can search for on safari, but I can’t cut it out altogether since I clock into work via phone. Shoot, I even wish Facebook had an option to just have the marketplace and nothing else.

My current screen time is pretty large, at about 8 hours a day on average. Given I use GPS for work a lot of the time plus I FaceTime often. I’d still assume it’s maybe 3-5 hours worth of doom scrolling of some sort. Any help is appreciated! I don’t want to pay a subscription to block out my phone either. I’ve seen the “brick” block, but is there a cheaper alternative that’ll work just as good? This is about the only option I’ve considered so far

Is there an official site, or somewhere that promotes growing native plants? I constantly see videos online of people just sprinkling native plant seeds everywhere, and I kinda want to just throw a bunch of native seeds in my yard. Are they expensive? Or is there like a Florida . Gov site that encourages/gives free seeds if you request it to plant? I figured there’s somewhere that cares about keeping an abundance of Florida natives around.
