People who just want to listen to old school FM radio.

How mildly opinionated of you.

I always said tomato and basil are the basis of Italian cooking because if all else dies, they will always survive.

Im glad you pointed out the algorithm thing. Seems like people get fed up with social media platforms like X(?) and Reddit and then come to alternatives demanding the same features that, at least in part, led to them being fed up in the first place.

I actually disagree with OPs assertion that these federated platforms are ‘almost as good’. Theyre better. More features doesnt mean a better platform and in my opinion often makes them worse.

Awesome! They look great. Ours got eaten by the dreaded potato beetle last year so we’re taking a few years off from growing them.

All good to know! We bought the place two years ago so its all new to me. Theyre planted directly into the ground so not sure what the best approach will be regarding fertilizing.

It is rosa rugosa I believe. These guys are all over the property but not in beds. Theyre planted directly into the ground. My first suspicion was soil quality. Our soil here holds onto water in a bad way and is fairly nutrient poor. Mostly clay. pH is probably wacky too. Its why I have to do raised beds for our gardens.

On top of that, last summer was very dry. This summer it rained for a solid month and we have more in the forecast.

I might just have to accept I wont get rosehips out of them. Ill just enjoy the flowers.
