re: Help with tree selection for front yard

I'm thinking Live oak.
Just kidding. Yard too small and to nice to add a tree. Leave as is and maybe try the window tint.

Pine straw mulch
Posted by sosaysmorvant on 2/16/26 at 12:34 pm
Due to the rising cost of cypress (and other premium) mulch, I went with pine straw in 2025. It held up ok....just fades pretty fast in our climate. It was good enough to continue with it this spring.
Just wondering how y'all handle putting the new stuff down. Some areas are still "full" (the pine straw has not broken down much). Do you generally just add on top or remove the old and add new pine straw? Pine straw is difficult to put down.....just trying to see what other folks do before I tackle this project.
If I bought the bagged pine straw, I could put a thin layer on top to get the color back, but those bags are almost as expensive as cypress. The bagged pine starw is shredded and easier to put down.....just expensive.

re: Invasive Vine Removal Advice Needed

Spend a few dollars on a robust hedge trimmer. I have a Stihl unit that I trim my star jasmine with once or twice a year. It handles the vine with not much problem if you go slow enough.

I believe he’s talking about making a large batch of gumbo and then portioning it into maybe ziploc bags to freeze.
Yes. Cook a "big batch" then transfer into quart containers for future use.
Large stock pot
Posted by sosaysmorvant on 2/1/26 at 10:21 am
Looking to purchase a large stock pot to cook gumbos, soups, and such in large amounts. Feeding a big crowd or cooking to store a bunch in the freezer. Currently use a big magnalite pot....I think its 12 quart.
I would like the pot to be well made and rather thick on the bottom.
Any recommendations where to purchase? I'm guessing the bigger pots will be stainless steel. Any input or nuance appreciated.

Very reflective question. Perfect for the demographic here.

Just got one. It's a well built machine and feels lighter than my old one. I can't give you any real performance review cause I didn't really cut any tall grass yet.
