Thanks for posting this AND especially for the screenshot! Search is very important and should show all the time, on any device... so we're looking into this. @Artichoke Lover which device / model are you using?

Ya, it's a bit different than before (the company that creates the software made the change recently). The "separate" preview has it's pros and cons for sure.

:hugs I stop by quite often, but am usually just browsing, or doing admin-type stuff in the background. Y'all are just too kind. Your words and actions (especially those that are supportive and helpful to others) are GREATLY appreciated!!

Spot-on, thanks y'all! Going to get work to isolate and destroy! :D

As part of my chicken grazing frame experiment on BYC, I planted a few BOSS (black oil sunflower seeds) to grow in the house. They've actually been doing pretty decently inside. ... except we just noticed a ton of what looks like "webbing" and tiny buggies. I'm guessing some kind of spider...

I'm in the East Bay too, so there's a really good chance the same squirrels would be going after our fruit too! They definitely decimate our pears, etc. :( In some ways that sounds like FOREVER, but in other cases, it comes and goes so quick! I'm definitely going to have to get at planting a...

Is this specific to the American ones? I've had the Japanese ones out on my counter for over a week, and they still taste good.

A few weeks ago I took out a few of the BOSS growing in my chicken grazing frame experiment and planted them in a pot to see how they'd do indoors in the Winter. So far, pretty good!

I'm testing this image on a desktop computer / chrome. I'm inserting a thumbnail and resizing it to be tiny: You should be able to do the same if you click on an image and then drag the corners:

I'm in Zone: 9b, and this great article says they grow in 8 - 11 https://homeguides.sfgate.com/fuyu-persimmon-tree-care-43506.html ... but I didn't really need to even look that up since I know these were grown very locally. LOL!

From what I'm reading about the Fuyu, they are a non-astringent variety... which I guess means they can be eaten right from the tree?

I had some from a friend when I was super young and hated them... so just assumed they were all the same. I've mostly been eating them raw. The outer skin is a tiny bit more thick than an apple, but not bad at all. I just cut them in quarters, remove the 4 or so large seeds, and eat them up...

Ok, I just asked the person I got them from, and they said the variety is "Fuyu persimmons". I'm surprised how sweet they are. I'd almost say the taste is a mix of apricot, honeydew, and kiwi... but different texture. Here's a pic:

For 40 years I've been completely bad-mouthing persimmons. I've honestly thought they were some of the worst fruits people could grow in their yards. I've been dissing them for as long as I can remember. Well, a week ago my mom brought some over for us to try. ... and HOLY COW/. I actually...

Thanks y'all! We're still doing some clean-up on the menu bars / editor buttons, and other misc. bits. :)

A note about the new editor: If you click the 3 vertical dots, you'll see more options. Also, if you're on a phone or tablet, you can turn your screen to landscape and you'll see more editing options.

Thanks for pointing that out! It's been fixed!

I'm growing seedlings in a "grazing frame" for my chickens:

Hmm... odd, I haven't been able to duplicate this issue. I wonder if it is specific to one browser / system or another. Hopefully we can find some commonalities between peeps having the problem so we can isolate / fix it.

We started out VERY worried about her being too standoffish, but it's only been 4 days since we let her out of her cage and she's been coming right in the house more and further each night (with the help of some treats). ;) We don't have any expectations of ever petting her, but the fact she...
