So sorry to hear that. Their short lifespans are their only downside. There are longer lived true spiders that can be fun to keep, and tarantulas can be remarkably long-lived (some of mine will probably outlive me), but jumpers have a special magic to them.

    It's 1992. Your mom just took you through the Dairy Queen drive in after supper. It was 30C today, and it's going to be 35C tomorrow, but you're an American child in 1992 and have no idea what that means in Freedom Units.

    I don't really care for dills much unless they're our good homemade dills, and even then i really only like them on their own, not in/on things.

    Sweet pickles are my favorite (especially baby sweets OMG) but my partner says sweet pickles are too much of a pain in the ass to make at home. She makes batches of "bread and butter" slices which are really good, but not the same. Sadly I have to go store bought for my sweet pickle fix.

    Her hot & spicy pickles are petty bomb too.

    ..but early in the season a friend of a friend had to move unexpectedly, and I inherited a couple of the plants they had to get rid of in a hurry.

    Things have gone pretty well so far - they're over 6 feet tall now, fairly full for being in relatively small pots, and the bud sites are starting to fill out.

    Only a few weeks left, hoping they have time to finish properly before the weather goes south.
