How to best shape this lavender
It seems to be growing sideways all splayed so I stuck that pot under it to try to prop it up a bit.

Where do you buy your seed garlic?
Already thinking of next year! Was wondering where you all get your garlic and any particular varieties to try? This is my second year and already looking towards the third. I noticed garlic on one side of my garden grew bulbs larger unless it is just the variety. The first year I bought garlic on Etsy, chesnok and purple gazer and just regrew them again this year. Was looking to scale up a bit for next year and be more organized with the fertilizing and spacing in raised garden bed. Might try some in ground to see how they do too. Located in NY 6A.

Too early still?
Pulled one just to check it. This should he purple skinned so I am thinking too early? Size isn't bad. Last year I pulled week of July 4th. I did start growing these earlier though than the previous year and sizing looks decent.

What type of Jade?
Both are set in gold so I am assuming would be real jade. The bottom ring is more opaque and deep green so I was a bit unsure sinne most jade seems be more transparent but when I went to sell some gold after my mom passed, the guy thought it was most likely jade. Thanks!

41F looking for a friend to commiserate with
Have 3 kids (7,9,14 being autistic) and a cat. I'm located in the US/NY. In a terrible 15 year relationship I'd rather be out of. Have a lot of stress in my life from carrying the mental load and feeling unappreciated. Happy Mother's Day to me! Have stayed busy working, but it is hard getting new friends at this age.
It has been a few years (since COVID) since I've had someone to really talk with. I lean towards introvert. Reasons for past friendship failures is difference in beliefs on general welfare of people. I'm not a Trumper and don't believe in building walls and I'm not anti vaccine. I do emphasize for people and animals. I like all animals, but particularly like feeding birds. I'm ok with difference in beliefs, but not when that ends up being someone's personality when it is full of hypocrisy on how their life is lived.
Have tried to be more minimal and into saving. Less consumerist. Although it can be difficult! I do admit I like to look at Home Goods, but try to stay away from collecting seasonal decor. I do like makeup/skincare/kbeauty. Specialty coffee. In fact, just got an order of S & W. Like to read or watch shows/new movies when I have time. Sometimes anime. Although it is really hard to do things for yourself in peace when you have kids. Like cooking and food. Especially cast iron. I like nice scents like BBW. I used to make candles, scented wax, CP soaps and crafty things and sell and had a pretty successful small business. Just lack time now although I still have my supplies. I like pretty rocks. Also plants and propagating. My interests sort of hop around. Open to talking with anyone. I like to always learn new things and I like how reddit makes it a bit easy with things popping up in my feed.
