That’s kinda my understanding as well.

Brave/Firefox, although basically reskins, help keep ads at bay.

Kinda Brave/firefox can keep a lot of ads from bogging down things.

I have an iPhone, and I have recently been using Brave. Firefox is a favorite.

Have at. Ethical limitations apply as it’s a fairly new technology.

I suppose you’re right.

I doubt I want to deal with a dead bird anyway.

You win the wisdom award. At least until I get bored and look up bird population parasite/diseases more in depth. Which I am unlikely to do.

Tales from the Garden: Milkweed (sh.itjust.works)

I had a volunteer milkweed this year in my small raised bed/container garden.

Early into the season it developed a yellow aphid infestation. I was horrified! They were disgusting things (and far, far too many of them). While I was interested in an insect garden, I was worried spread to nearby plants, specifically my prized blackberries, affecting yields.

I researched and treated the aphid infestation with Neem Oil and basically killed the living population. Success!

Or so I thought…

After I traveled for about a month, I returned to see the aphids had rebounded in full force.

An interesting thing though, neither had they spread to other plants.

Even more interesting there were ladybugs, there were beetles, there were wasps, there was even a praying mantis.

I wouldn’t say the milkweed is super happy about the arrangement, but it is growing, and it was a volunteer into the garden.

Overall it’s been the best plant of the season by far teaching me a little bit about ecosystems.

TLDR: my aphid infestation totally allowed my predator insect population to boom

(Help Request) Small white dots on blackberry vines (sh.itjust.works)
 

I started noticing small white flecks on my blackberry vines. Is this something to worry about? Mildew?

I have hard water, but doubt it’s mineral deposits.

What is this plant? (sh.itjust.works)
 

I bought it last year and didn’t get its name. It blooms then dies, then repeats next season
