Damn really? Can't produce fruit at these temps?

How about bell peppers and cucumbers?

Is there a GFCI outlet that this will be tying into?

Yes, the outlet in the garage that I planned on piggy backing off of is a GFCI outlet.

I’m looking to add an exterior outlet on this Hardie plank wall. Directly on the other side of that wall (inside my garage) there’s an existing outlet, and my plan is to piggy-back off that circuit to feed the new exterior receptacle.

I’ve added plenty of interior outlets this way, but I want to make sure the approach is the same for an exterior install. Can I use an old-work box on the outside wall just like I would indoors? If so, would that allow me to mount a weather-resistant, cover like this:



And then just caulk around the box/cover to seal it?

Thanks for this nugget of info. Looks like a good place to check out. Their coated seeds sound interesting.


I'm not against sod, but 75%+ of my yard already has pretty good coverage of centipede. It's the remaining 25% of patchiness that I am trying to fill in. Patches came about due to various reasons, and they are all different shapes and sizes. It seemed easier to do some leveling then fill in patches with seed versus cuttting sod or trying to make it fit in the patches, some patches would require a piece of a square, some patches several squares, etc.

Due to some time constraints, I won't be able to setup for laying down centipede seed until the very end of August/beginning of September. I am not seeding my whole lawn. I have a handful of large bare spots that I am filling in.

I know I won't be able to lay down a fall pre-emergent this year, but other than that, are there other downsides of starting seed at that time?

Thanks for all the replies and tips. I'll try running it through that app and see how Sethoxydim handles it.

I'm leaning towards carpetgrass right now.

I hate that. I spent the past 2 years sealing any nook and cranny that they were coming through after an insanely bad year.

I have my money on termites swarming tonight. Buckle up

try sliced pickled pork in lieu of tasso, brown it good with your sausage.

How many lbs of meat are y’all using for 1 lb of dried beans? I usually do one pound total for meat. Would I go with a half pound of pickled pork and a half pound of sausage?

What I currently do:
- use dried beans that have soaked overnight
- use the cajun trinity
- use tasso or andouille sausage or both
- let them cook all day, low and slow
- blend up a few scoops in a blender to add a creamy texture but maintain some whole beans
- use homemade stock

Any ideas for ingredients to add or techniques to make them better?
