Chamaemelum nobile Puns

When we bought this suburban home outside of Seattle, it was a boring traditional lawn and the previous owners had used weed n feed and glyphosphate (they left it in the garage)

We bought some herb de lawn blend from PT lawn seed, overseeded with topsoil and now 4 years later, it's finally fully established, beautiful, soft underfoot, and a bee-heaven. https://ptlawnseed.com/products/pt-706-herb-de-lawn

mix is :

Perennial Ryegrass - Lolium perenne Hard Fescue - Festuca trachyphylla Quatro Tetraploid Sheep Fescue - Festuca ovina 'Quatro'White Yarrow - Achillea millefoliumWhite Clover - Trifolium repens Sweet Alyssum - Lobularia maritime Roman Chamomile - Chamaemelum nobile

What we learned:

• too much micro clover chokes out the rest and creates a tangled mess. (I overseeded too much in the start)
• a good blend of fescues and polyculture flowering herbs made it easier to manage, hardier, and drought-resistant.

• mow once a month to 5-6 inches but not long enough where the fescue falls.
• overseeding the original grass was fine but took longer for the clover roots to establish about 200sqft.
• a tiny bit of water to establish but now I don't water it at all and my lawn is the greenest on the block

happy to answer any questions you have.

I know most of their products are formulated with heavy amounts of essential oils and stuff. But i was wondering if anyone has tried their Hydrating Sea Weed pack.

Ingredients List: Aqua, Aloe Barbadensis Gel, Ascophyllum Nodosum, Nelumbo Nucifera Extract, Chamaemelum Nobile Oil, Coenzyme Q10, Calendula Officinalis Essential Oil, Nelumbium Speciosum Flower Essential Oil.

I don't want to step on anybody's toes here, but the amount of non-dad jokes here in this subreddit really annoys me. First of all, dad jokes CAN be NSFW, it clearly says so in the sub rules. Secondly, it doesn't automatically make it a dad joke if it's from a conversation between you and your child. Most importantly, the jokes that your CHILDREN tell YOU are not dad jokes. The point of a dad joke is that it's so cheesy only a dad who's trying to be funny would make such a joke. That's it. They are stupid plays on words, lame puns and so on. There has to be a clever pun or wordplay for it to be considered a dad joke.

Again, to all the fellow dads, I apologise if I'm sounding too harsh. But I just needed to get it off my chest.

Felt you all might appreciate a poultice I had to come up with last night. My sister visited me and got ravaged by mosquitoes, since we're still not into the depths of autumn yet over here. Decided to knock up a treatment for her and it worked extremely well, so I thought I'd share it with you. Bear in mind these measurements are approximate, since I basically just did it by eye - I've been practising for a while now and don't really need to measure topical applications, but it does hamper my ability to share it lol.

Note, all herbs are dried.

Things:

• A couple of layers of kitchen paper - toilet paper would probably work too, but it crumbles easily. You could definitely use wadded bandages.

• A small bowl

• Hot water. I used about 80°C because I was prepping in a metal bowl so it cooled down, but you don't want to apply liquid hotter than 60°C (about 140°F) to the skin because it could worsen inflammation or cause burns in people with sensitive skin.

• 1 part Salt, koshering or large-crystal sea salt for preference - try 1/2 tsp

• 4 parts Yarrow (Achillea millefolia) - try 2 tsp

• 4 parts Calendula (Calendula officinalis) - try 2 tsp

• 6 parts Chamomile (I stock Chamaemelum nobile but I suspect Matricaria chamomilla would just as well work too) - try 3 tsp

• Some mullein (Verbascum spp.) or marshmallow leaves (Althaea officinalis) would be a nice addition if you tend to dry skin but not necessary. Just moisturise after use if you don't have any. Just a couple of pinches should be enough.

Method:

1. Mix herbs. Do not add salt yet.

2. Add dribbles of water, barely any, and stir with a metal spoon until a plant-y wet mash is formed. Just add millilitres at a time until it sticks in a soggy clump on your spoon and there's a noticeable but very small amount of water at the bottom, under the herbs. It'll smell astringent and bitter as all hell, but that's exactly what we want: don't worry you're not going to eat it!

3. Stir in the salt.

4. Immediately put onto folded kitchen paper and fold it up, then apply to the bites and hold it there for at least 15 minutes, preferably longer. Warning, use a bowl, it'll drip a bit.

It should bring the inflammation down and reduce the sting considerably quite quickly, especially if applied soon after noticing the bites.

Do your worst!

I'm surprised it hasn't decade.

For context I'm a Refuse Driver (Garbage man) & today I was on food waste. After I'd tipped I was checking the wagon for any defects when I spotted a lone pea balanced on the lifts.

I said "hey look, an escaPEA"

No one near me but it didn't half make me laugh for a good hour or so!

Edit: I can't believe how much this has blown up. Thank you everyone I've had a blast reading through the replies 😂

It really does, I swear!

Because she wanted to see the task manager.

They’re on standbi

Pilot on me!!

Nothing, he was gladiator.

Dad jokes are supposed to be jokes you can tell a kid and they will understand it and find it funny.

This sub is mostly just NSFW puns now.

If it needs a NSFW tag it's not a dad joke. There should just be a NSFW puns subreddit for that.

Edit* I'm not replying any longer and turning off notifications but to all those that say "no one cares", there sure are a lot of you arguing about it. Maybe I'm wrong but you people don't need to be rude about it. If you really don't care, don't comment.

When I got home, they were still there.

What did 0 say to 8 ?

" Nice Belt "

So What did 3 say to 8 ?

" Hey, you two stop making out "

I won't be doing that today!

Where ever you left it 🤷‍♀️🤭

This morning, my 4 year old daughter.

Daughter: I'm hungry

Me: nerves building, smile widening

Me: Hi hungry, I'm dad.

She had no idea what was going on but I finally did it.

Thank you all for listening.

There hasn't been a post all year!
