Hi everyone. I haven’t attached a picture because it’s more soil /weedkiller related. I’ve recently moved into a new house, and outside the back door there’s a sort of triangle of bare earth between the garden wall and a short decorative wall. I’ve just been digging it out to plant some English ferns in there to cover the shady bare patch, and just assumed it was bare because it’s so shaded. But my fork hit a hollow thud. As I dug it out, I find it’s this huge container of weed killer (with my fresh fork holes but also clearly historic holes). I shook it carefully and it’s still sloshing so liquid left inside. It’s nothing fancy, just looks like a large garden centre variety weedkiller from what I can still see. No idea how old it is (what I can see of the remaining label looks modern, like at least fairly contemporary), or how long it’s been buried under there because the previous owners were elderly.

Just wondering on your opinions here, is this likely to have caused such a prolonged bare patch and what options do I have to remedy this if so? Is this a death sentence for that patch of soil? Thanks so much in advance.

(Spoilers for movie 1)

… Didn’t actually visit Sally after Michael died?

We see her putting belladonna in Jimmy’s bottle, shaking it, then staring into the mirrors and closing her eyes mindfully. Then she’s in her car and driving through, I guess, rural Arizona - the sky outside the car is night. She’s headed toward another car’s headlights at a fair distance, but they disappear in the dawn. The dawn and whole day go by at warp speed while she smokes a single cigarette in eerie lighting, then it’s dusk and night again in moments. When she sees the other headlights on the road again, even closer now in the dark, she smiles. The next thing we see is her tickling Sally’s nose.

She spends the whole night chatting on the messy bed, they talk and heal and the cameraman takes pains to show Gillian framed alone in Sallys bedroom mirror while they’re talking. They whisper under the bedcovers about Gilly’s final advice to get up and live. She then mouths ‘I love you’ and Sally says it back as if she’d heard it out loud - the first, I think, of several examples of this intense telepathic connection the two share.

Sally wakes up and Gilly’s side of the bed hasn’t even been slept in. It’s still neatly made and even tucked in. The only sign she was ever there is an indent in the pillow.

Sally never apparently mentions this to the aunts, Gilly clearly doesn’t stop in even to peek in the attic at the girls (she remarks how big they are the next time she actually sees them) and if we take the driving scene literally Gilly left Jimmy for at least 50 hours - a day and night there, day and night back, and a whole night talking. If she left him because he hit her, wouldn’t such a control freak lose his marbles when she up and takes off for days on end? He didn’t even want her to go to the bathroom on her own.

I always thought this was their sharing a moment of the mind, like a spiritual projection, rather than Gilly actually being there - but after a rewatch together a friend said they’ve never heard that take.

What are your thoughts?

Does anyone else think that Gillian…
