Lotus Seed Sprouting in c/gardening@lemmy.world
[–] emuspawn@geostationary.orbiting.observer 4 points 6 days ago

See, it's a good question! I looked it up, but didn't find a firm answer. As far as I could figure, they:

  • eventually freeze, crack open, and thaw
  • get stepped on by a heavy animal (they are eaten by ducks & beavers)
  • clunking around the bottom of a river/pond, letting the sand wear it down.

All conjecture, but I don't know!

Lotus Seed Sprouting (i.postimg.cc)
 

Heya! In addition to terrestrial plants, I keep a pond. And you know what looks amazing? Lotus.
So I have myself some lotus seeds. They have quite hard shells that need to be exposed to water & light without hurting the delicate endosperm inside. To open the shell it seems most of the lotus growing guides have you:

  1. Dremeling
  2. Filing or Sanding
  3. Sawing
  4. Drilling
    And it looks like a LOT of work. With room for finger injury.

So anyway, there's this one guy online that's like "I just lightly hit them with a hammer" and I'm 100%, SOUNDS LIKE VERIFIED FOLK WISDOM.

So here we are, a week later, with lightly smacked lotus seeds, and by golly they are all sprouting.

I mean, moving the whole solar system just makes sense at a certain level of energy expenditure - if you are already generating enough power to do interstellar travel, might as well take the whole house with you. Sucks if you live here and don't like the new travel direction of the system though, I guess. Find a new solar system to live in at that point?

Hi, have you followed the basic setup guide?

If you are less tech savvy the docker installation might be the way to go for Piefed.

Each instance already has the capability of fully changing the logo and branding:

Federation is also controllable, you can just not federate, or block all:

As for the cloudflare tunnel, you should be able to set up an application that points to your local installation.

Finally, if you like the dev installation you set up, and want to move it to production, you can follow this guide , but I'd probably just create a new fresh instance.

Grow for Others, Then for Me (geostationary.orbiting.observer)
 

Hello, /c/gardening! It has been a solid little while since I posted, or in fact grew anything.
Life dealt me a really harsh hand of cards at the end of last year and I'm finally getting going again.

What broke the seal for me was someone else needed plants, and I was like 'don't buy those, I'll grow you some'. And then of course, why not start some for me.....?

And here we are! I hope your gardens are thriving.

One by one, the free gardens of Pan-Gaea fell to the power of the Grapefruit, but there were some who resisted. A last alliance of citrus and citron marched against the armies of Florida, and on the very swamps of Ever Glade, they fought for the freedom of Pan-Gaea. Victory was near, but the power of the furanco courmarin could not be undone. It was in this moment, when all hope had faded, that Tangelo, son of the king, took up his father’s rootstock.

I checked it out! I'll probably hop in intermittently as the crafting urge strikes.
Thanks for putting it up!

A Pleistocene monster in my garden! (geostationary.orbiting.observer)
 

I have a work in progress pond with some lovely goldfish in it. So far I've only had smaller visitors to the pond, but I had a big heron land on my neighbors roof and scope things out.

What a pretty bird, but stay out plz!

Cabbage Harvest (geostationary.orbiting.observer)
 

I harvested my first cabbage head this year! This is my second year growing cabbages - it went way better this year!
Last year between pests and the weather, it was definitely mycabbages.gif

It's in water, but it's still gardening! One of my hardy lilies has put up a gorgeous flower. I love seeing it open in the morning and close at night.
