  • My wife grew a person this winter, so I haven’t been able to even clean out last years leftovers from my greenhouse yet, but two of my spice plants (not sure if it’s the right term) has sprouted again on their own (Oregano and Chives) 🥳 And I started housing a grape last year that I hope has survived winter, just have to remember watering it and repot it if I can find the time for it. My mother will probably bring me some tomato and chili sprouts if I ask her, she always ends up with way too many of both 😅




  • Not sure if I can give you specific advice, but I would say that your statement that her being naked around you is also a cultural “line” that’s not written in stone. Now I’m assuming that you’re from the US, I’m from a European country where many people don’t have that line. While I don’t have any step family of my own, I can say that I’ve seen and been around many of my in-laws naked without there being any issue. I also grew up in a family where we all saw each other naked all the time, and my wife have a stepfather who’s seen her naked since she and her mom moved in with him when she was about 14. That being said, even in my country I know friends from other families where that would be considered weird, so I’m not trying to say your thinking is inherently wrong. Maybe you should start by discussing this with your partner to get their view on it?




  • I got a greenhouse from multiple family members as a combined birthday and Christmas present. Some plants like tomatoes and chili love it there. Some others die because of the heat. Others again love it too much and grow too quickly, becoming too long and thin to support their own weight.

    Also, a “problem” I’ve had for the two years I’ve been trying to get some vegetables is being pessimistic about how many seeds will sprout and getting WAY too many. And once they’ve all happily sprouted I don’t have the heart to throw them away, so I end up having a hard time finding enough space for everything. Luxury problem I know 😅
