hi, this is my first time posting in here so unsure if this is the right place to ask. however, maybe like 3-5 years ago my grass in my garden died off (due to having female dogs and not taking great care of it), we attempted to grow new grass using seeds multiple times but it never worked. now the whole garden is covered in giant dock leaf plants (pretty certain that is what they are). does anyone know why this is? and does anyone know how to get rid of them all, we have tried multiple weed killers, ripping them out the ground, yet nothing has worked and they continue to grow back when spring hits. we plan on getting artificial grass once we figure out how to get rid of the docks so growing the grass back isnt a massive concern. thank you for any replies/advice!

Tiffany Slaton, 27, was found alive after surviving more than three weeks lost in California’s Sierra Nevada mountains. She was discovered in an unlocked cabin at Vermilion Valley Resort, where the owner had left the door open for stranded hikers. Slaton’s solo camping trip turned into a survival ordeal after she fell from a cliff and was cut off by avalanche-blocked trails. She survived by foraging wild leeks, drinking melted snow, and using pine needle tea, despite injuries including a splinted leg and a dislocated knee she popped back into place herself. She endured 13 snowstorms and hiked over 40 miles before being found just before her 28th birthday. Authorities described her survival as miraculous, and she is now recovering after being treated for dehydration and minor injuries.

She credits her permaculture training, and her conditioning from being a pre Olympic archer, with saving her life.

Hi good people. My potato bed is new this year. Couple months ago, planted seed potatoes and dill. Everything’s coming up great but the leaves pop up and quickly acquire this yellow spackling. At first I thought they needed nitrogen and started to hill them with pine shavings. But it made no difference. Is it a total loss? Any ideas what to do? Bonus question: I’m looking for an app that identifies pests by what the leaves look like. I’ve seen some that identify by picture of bug, but I don’t see any bugs, just these blister like things on all the leaves.
