Last year, in Portland, Oregon, a mother squirrel made her nest in our chimney. When the babies grew large enough, they fell into our fireplace. I have caught five (5) squirrels with rose handling gloves and tupperware containers in the last year, my housemates four (4) and six (6). I told my housemate we should have kept one and tamed it or made it an example to its brethren, but she said no. She later said I was right.

I'm starting regular seeds today and planning a weird seed order from Ali Express right now. Curious about what will grow? Put the link here and I'll probably buy it and we'll see.

Captain Yossarian posted:Is it possible to import seeds online legally? If you bring them with you IRL they have to be declared and a customs person has to check them. It depends on the kind of seed, i accidentally ordered live brussel sprouts from the Philipines (on amazon) once and they got seized. My understanding is that usually what they are looking for is foreign *soil* though, on the seeds or what not, so ordering seeds (not live plants) is the way to go. I'm okay with some of my stuff getting held up and I'll look for a legal import list.

Like a guy hands you a slip of paper on a street corner and it just says "Aliexpress - titty gourds" or "blue strawberries" and you buy a gross of them to start a weed farm or opium business. well, i ordered $20 worth of weird-seeming plants today, let's see what happens!

Gable Oak posted:Well, then I have no idea what I did to piss off the gods of Chinese exports. :-(. Mine just says, "For security reasons this process can not be continued.To make sure your transaction is secure, please provide us with documentation by clicking My Appeal for further verification." Documentation being crazy phishing-sounding things like, "take a photo of your credit card, driver's license, and bank statement." I am 100% certain it's legitimately AliPay, but I'm not sure if it's more or less comforting that only a subset of us are getting selected for further documentation. I've never had to do anything extra. I'm using a Visa associated with my bank.

Neurolimal posted:Just make sure you find and link some sort of seed identification site or grow them in a separated area; certain plants are not only invasive but actively harmful to the environment, like the mentioned Kudzu (which is a plant that suffocates trees, creates Co2, and burrows roots into the ground while growing a foot a day). They are in containers separated from our regular garden! Do I have to talk to a mod in GBS before starting a Lettuce Play thread?

Facebook Aunt posted:Anyone try ordering cheap chinese mystery seeds? I thought my favorites were the seeds for plants that were biologically impossible. A while I bought a bunch of packs of mystery seeds, PMed a GBS mod about starting a thread to see what grows, never heard back. I think Pick also has seeds that are coming in well! Then I moved my partner from NC to MD on April 1st, so I haven't been around. I could get started this weekend though! I'd be happy for more than one of us to grow random stuff together!

I accidentally deleted this bookmark and missed you guys! Hi friends! Seed report: Blue strawberries are coming in nicely. Tit gourd seeds may be duds. Mystery seeds are coming in, still don't know what they are. Checking my order history is cheating.  This is my bathroom storage in new apartment. These baskets are from Ali Express:  And I got one of those triangular iridescent bags for a friend for a graduation gift and she is delighted to be a newly fledged social worker with pink and purple hair and a sparkly bag.  Gotta catch up on this thread and make some big (less than $20) purchases!

AreWeDrunkYet posted:Cognitive dissonance probably isn't the right term, but there's something like confirmation bias there. Chances are the order the objects the arrive in is more or less random, but because you're anticipating some items any delay for those is more noticeable. And vice versa, the disappointment is exaggerated when it's not the item you wanted and your brain lets those memories form the basis for a pattern that isn't there. Yeah, you are right. I had written confirmation bias first, and then thought cognitive dissonance might be a more approachable (and silly) idea.

I just received seeds I didn't order as a gift for ordering seeds. None of the seeds are labeled, but everything I've ordered continues to be what I did order. I checked the mystery seeds against some pictures of seeds of some illicit substances and no dice. Gonna go post pics in the plant thread. A mystery!
