/c/café daily chat thread for 18 July 2023
(self.cafe)
Welcome to our virtual third place, The Café.
Come on in and make a new human connection over a cup of coffee (or Teh Tarik). This is a casual community, do whatever you want, share your oyen pics, your frustrations, and even organize a weekend picnic with the community. The world is your oyster.
Rules are simple, be kind and civil with each other. As with any other café, rude patrons will be kicked out.
My garden got soooooo many millipede i must've killed a lot of them just by walking around 😐
Means you have healthy soil right? Bestnya…
Can't say healthy, just a lot of compost because i have a huge pile just sitting there 🙈
And a lot of grass to hide in because i lazy 🙈
They also like feasting on the potting soil as i see them hanging around my watermelon
Sounds healthy to me! How long will it take until you can harvest it
Idk, maybe a month or so more, it's quite big now but there's still a lot more to grow
I like that we’re both expecting 😂 can’t wait to see your first harvest!
Both are babies 🙈 yeah, really can't wait
Can't wait for yours too 👉👈
I had a millipede infestation at one point too, although they are harmless to mature plants, I noticed that I wasn’t able to germinate any seeds when they were around. I believe they eat sensitive seedlings (though maybe larger seedlings will be ok)
Hmm, yeah they do chomp on those too, since seedling is softened it'vs easier to be eaten. But i usually just germinate in the tray before transplant so i didn't have this problem.
On the bright side, they might be helping you get rid of unwanted weed before they germinate.
Well they did a terrible job then, still a lot of weed in my garden lol
But i appreciate their existence, i like having a healthy ecosystem within the garden, used to be pretty dead just after development.
No..... Ah pede 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
Can't avoid it 🥲
so it's not an im-pede-ment for you. I wish I'm not as squirmish 🙃
Squish squish squish
