Hi neighbor! Believe it or not, I walk by your house all the time and always tell my wife I love it :)

As for what you can do, I know you said you’re southern exposure with a lot of sun, but I can tell you that I would consider your home and even that front mostly shaded.

Now is a good time to mulch with some good compost. We’ve been seeing good results with just getting some black kow from Home Depot.

Additionally, I was just there yesterday, but The Farm in Green Village (by Morristown) is open and they’ll soon have plants in their shade section. Very helpful people there too. Definitely worth the trip.

Also, we have a ton of deer, and your arborvitae look like tell-tale signs of deer nibbling. They can’t reach the top so just eat out the middle. I got a motion detected sprinkler to scare them off a few years ago and that seems to help.

Small world, especially on Lemmy!

Yes, fuck cars, but first, fuck America (and other countries) for not building infrastructure to be car independent.

Nah we upgraded after a few years. But ME was a struggle! Had so many crashes in Diablo 2 and EverQuest. Thats all that mattered to me.

My parents bought a new mouse when I was a kid back in the early 2000s cause we had a crappy view sonic one that came with the pc. The new one was a Microsoft one and it didn’t work cause it needed xp and we had ME. Back to the viewsonic mouse it was for another 20 years until I bought them a Logitech wireless one on a pc I built for them a few years ago.

Wild how the cheap stuff works well for so many years!

Man I want to block zerobytes.monster so badly
