UPenn alert said all clear but I don't know. I'm gonna stay inside just in case. The copters are still flying around.

Also, I have plastic pot insets. I plan to swap out as needed,only keeping baby cactus in them. I don't think I'd plant directly, even though plants would enjoy.

That planter is a crazy story. My neighbors put it in a free box on the sidewalk !!! Thank you Larchwood AV! It's stamped "Bennington Pottery VT", I got really lucky. Square terracotta - I love square pots. These may come up on Ebay, but you will be bidding up against me ; )

Valid point. Seriously, cactus can be dangerous.

Haha .. sounds like good growing on your part! I wish I could get mine to take off. Just want to get it through the winter, planning a repot in spring.

This pilea / coin plant is a real tricky one. It's like a finicky cat, it wants things just right. Bright light and even in-between water w/ food once a month right now.

Yep, the center cactus has big pricks. (toothpick cactus from S.Philly Ikea +++ fun plant, highly recommended. )

How many cannabis plants can you grow In NH? In VT you can have 2 mature and 2 immature. I think MA is the most liberal in the US for allowing home-grow, like 6 or 12 plants?

This is one criteria for comparison.

He did. I don't care what anyone thinks, I appreciated Mayor Street. Those were fun times back then, I miss Borders.

Isn't the whole point of living in VT because of the killer fall weather and awesome maple trees ? By the way, I'm packing my bags so I can come visit this weekend. I plan toodle around at 31.5 MPH. Maybe shop around for an all cash buy on an investment property for Air BnB ( wink :-)

I'm out of state, I post here all the time. I already posted my peak leaf peep for the season. There are a lot of out of state posts because lots of people associate Vermont with fun. I find the drama amusing as long as it stays mostly friendly.

I don't know. I'm seeing lots of deep reds and oranges. I like my season a bit on the rare side (still with a good mix of greens.) I know it's peak sleeping weather. Enjoy!
