I've had most these for 1-2 years and love how crazy they look.
I thought it was just another leaf growing, but to my surprise it was a bloom stalk. It lasted less than 24 hours before expiring, and a second opened up. It's always cool to get surprise blooms!
You clearly have not experienced the service of BC transit, the company that manages the rest of the province. If you like buses that barely run on Sundays, often don't show up, and routes that seem haphazard, BC Transit is for you.
Zone 8b
Varieties: Russian blue, white
Grown in potato planting bags for good drainage. They are in the process of flowering, and some have produced a fruit (very poisonous - do not eat it). Hoping for lots of potatoes this year π
The floppy plants to the left are garlic (soft and hardneck Italian). They are fine; they got too tall and fell over.
Perhaps they find a way to tax the dead, scorched trees. How dare they set themselves on fire! /s
Marine silicone is specifically formulated to be water tight (and safe for aquarium inhabitants). It can be found at specialty salt water aquarium stores.
Depending on the great lake it came from, you'll probably get heavy metal poisoning. Goldfish are edible and supposedly not bad- they are eaten in many countries including Japan.
Expats who stop paying their medical services plan (or whatever it's called in other provinces) are not covered, hence the ER bill. People who intended to live abroad for a long time often cancel them.
My neighbor planted lemon balm in her small garden bed- now it's all lemon balm and has spread around the strata gardens. Anything in the mint family has to be contained, or soon it will be all you have.
Your rose needs a few things: A repot into a bigger pot, and rich, loamy soil. Bonemeal to restore phosphorus (that's likely why it's no longer flowering) Slow release rose fertilizer (can be found at gardening stores)
As for trimming, prune off unproductive or bare branches, and cut off dying flowers. I don't judiciously prune my roses.
Unfortunately they won't be able to read it because it was published before 2008.
The title of this article is disingenuous, and the article itself fails to note that K-8 have already been using the proficiency scale report cards for years. Grades 10-12 continue to have letter grades, and that will likely continue for a while longer. That being said, the numeracy and literacy exams grade on the same proficiency scale, it just converts it to a number (1-4 scale). It's not impossible to apply this system to high school grades, but it will take some getting used to by teachers, students and parents.
Most middle school kids don't really care about report cards or grades as they know to that they will just be pushed along with everyone else (this is a separate issue from report card formats). The proficiency based report cards will not change this practice. Another note of importance is that official academic transcripts start in grade 10, so everything before it doesn't really matter, from an academic record point of view.
Considering the anti-LGBTQ+ and pro-conversion 'therapy' stance this organization has, they will not be missed if they disappear. There are less discriminatory organizations that people can support.
In a cruel twist of irony, it marks the 20 year anniversary of the 2003 Okanagan Park fire. Most Kelowna residents would have experienced that and are probably retraumatized.
My lithops have been in various stages of splitting for the past few months. They have decided to show the process all in one pot! The potting medium is perlite.
I saved this plant from my office 6 months ago because it had nearly no leaves, and now she's green and growing in a unique way. If this is what healthy looks like, it's all good with me.
Isn't that what Chick-fil-A does, push religion while selling fried chicken? For that reason I will never give them my money.
