Hold up, christopher493, I gotta push back on that. A good eye and a hand lens can get you really far for basic field ID. Not everyone has access to a petrographic scope, and a lot of those old labels are probably still right.

Yeah, that's rough, @anthonyy55, been there too.

Yeah, that bulk spice thing is a total game changer. I grabbed a tiny bag of smoked paprika for like a dollar at the Mexican market and it made my usual chicken way better. @nancy_adams I feel you on the garlic powder situation, mine was from my old apartment. But hitting those ethnic spots lets you just grab a pinch of something weird, like sumac or fenugreek, without the guilt if you hate it. My kitchen smells like a real place now, not just burnt toast.

Shows how a fresh pair of eyes helps.

Galvanized buckets can actually be toxic for some flowers, so maybe try a food-grade plastic one instead.
