Invest in a sprayer and some neem oil.
Convict45@lemmy.worldto Gardening@lemmy.world•Is it too late to plant raspberry bushes as a novice gardener?English7·3 months agoA year ago I was very proud of myself for having eradicated the chocolate mint I planted a decade ago.
This year I have discovered new chocolate mint in the yard, far from where it was.

They’re ripe when they turn yellow.
Got my first one this summer from a top I cut off a store bought pineapple maybe years ago. Home grown, from my single example, has a more subtle flavor with hints of vanilla and much less acid.
Convict45@lemmy.worldto Linux@lemmy.ml•How can we make Linux more appealing as "just works"?English4·1 year agoI’m not talking about a long-ago problem. I’m talking about a current install of Ubuntu.
Convict45@lemmy.worldto Linux@lemmy.ml•How can we make Linux more appealing as "just works"?English467·1 year agoI’m a very casual Linux user and in my experience, I’ve NEVER had a problem with a documented solution that didn’t require going down a rabbit hole of other references.
Something like this: “To get the trackpad to work with Ubuntu, make sure you’ve installed the hergelbergelXX package.” (No link, find it on your own!)
Visit the HergelBergelXX page. To install Hergelbergel on Ubuntu, you must install the framisPortistan Package Manager. (No link!)
On the FramisPortistan GitHub readme, we discover it requires the JUJU3 database system to be installed. “JUJU3 may cause conflicts with installed USB devices under Ubuntu” JUJU2, which shipped with Ubuntu, is no longer supported. Also we recommend Archie&Jughead Linux over other distributions.
And this essentially never stops.
All of this is comparatively a happy result—I actually DID post a question on linuxnoobs about getting my trackpad to work with Ubuntu… and have not had a single reply. I have no idea how to find out how to make it work.

That’s really odd. Because when you zoom in, it very much looks like someone has hand drawn replacement roofs in some graphics program.
Why so photoshopped?
