That's interesting to me that you enjoy fishing. I kinda assumed someone who keeps fish as pets wouldn't want to hunt them.
I come from the land of 10,000 lakes. Fishing was introduced when I was very young.
A lot of the anglers that I know keep fish. A good number of the aquarists that I know are fishermen.
The anglers around here are paying for conservation efforts with the money they pay for angling licences. They are also some of the first people that report on issues concerning lake,pond and river health.
Of course there are always a few bad apples that poach and litter.
I catch ,photograph and release. I pay my fees and I also pick up any litter I see.
Fish could have worse friends than folks like me.
I was a mod at an aquarium forum before I came here. I love fish. Their beauty,their variety and unfortunately for some...their flavor.
I just can't pass up a good Mahi Mahi.
I'm not gonna feel bad. My goldfish had eaten more seafood than I have.
This ↑, unfortunately, is often my case. For me, though, I always think they look like they'll be fine for another day and then I'm faced with the droop. I promised Clementine photos in my journal yesterday but she was really droopy and I didn't want to post them.
I usually try to water my flowering girls when they are about halfway dry.
Being sick, I just spaced it out. Thought that I watered more recently than I apparently did.
I did incur a bit of damage to the plants. Mostly yellowing lowers.
Not a big deal. I keep my lower leaves around for such an occurrence.
I'm trying to streamline my grows so that I don't have so many in flower at the same time. I currently have 8 in flower and would prefer half of that.
Holy smokes. Eight plants is a lot for two people.
Not gonna lie though. If I had the room you do, if probably be right where you're at. It could even be worse.
Sorry to hear you're sick. You're having bad luck with your health so far this year. I hope this cold is the last of it for awhile.
I'm finally feeling better.
I'm still a little tired and the brain fog is hanging on from before.
I'm going to try to get outside today. The vitamin D from the sun will really help. Seasonal affective disorder sucks.
Our snow has all melted and I can start tidying up my flower beds now.
I have a pile of root balls I need to break down. I toss them outside all winter so I can recycle them for my veggies in the spring. I'll use them for my tomatoes and peppers this year. Since I grow in large pots I need to start new ones every year. I can't grow the peppers and toms in the same pots as last year or I'll get boytris and other issues. I still need to rotate my crops.
Their old soil will be used for cukes,herbs and flowers.
I should grab some compost at the garden center today so I can top dress my pots. That will give a few months to let it settle in before I plant.
We put our toms and peppers out mid to late May here.
if I was hacked?
