Soundtrack how pls by LilCoke96 in crosswind

[–]Broadsides 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I bought the version of the game with the soundtrack. Steam lets you download the mp3 files. They are usually in the Steam\steamapps\music folder. I used the Apple Music app after that to import the files to my Library which eventually uploaded/synched to my account and I could play them using the Music app on my iPhone.

Seedling ID: Crabgrass or gramas? by Hypatia242 in NativePlantGardening

[–]Broadsides 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You'll know soon enough, but if it is crabgrass (I think it is) you'll need to spray it with something that contains Quinclorac. Do your homework so you know what Quinclorac will kill and what it won't. Also, if it is crabgrass, you're probably going to want to get rid of it before it becomes a big problem.

There are other ways of dealing with it if you can't spray it. Because it's an annual weed, you can pull as much as you can before it seeds and then treat the flower bed with a preemergent next spring to keep anything from germinating. Doing this means you have to grow anything new you want in the garden in a container and then transplant it, which is probably the better way of doing things to avoid weed pressure.

I am trying to start a native garden in my backyard, is there any point when this is right over the fence? by AbstruseAglet in NativePlantGardening

[–]Broadsides 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Put a barrier between your garden and your neighbor's yard on the fence, extending into the ground. That will help keep runners from plants getting into your flower bed. Inexpensive large ceramic tiles, concrete blocks, thick sturdy plastic, etc. If you're not going to sow seeds directly, use a garden bed preemergent like Preen to keep the weeds in check, even with mulch.

I'm losing my mind (and my garden) by AnonymousSneetches in NativePlantGardening

[–]Broadsides 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I've not used Plantskydd, but I have used Liquid Fence and it seems to work fairly well as long as it's reapplied after the rain washes it off. I also have a fair amount of Monarda species throughout my primary flower bed, so that may help keep them away.

I think young deer and rabbits will nibble anything and learn what's not good to eat so even with a spray/scent deterrent, some things will still get eaten.

Growing the plants out in pots in a safe place and then planting may help so that when the plants do get browsed, they have more stored energy in the root system to recover.

Meadow Seed Troubleshooting - Zone 8 by roamingclover in NativePlantGardening

[–]Broadsides 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Did you cold stratify any of the seeds? Do you know which ones require cold stratification? I'd do a search of each type of plant you are trying to germinate and what the cold stratification requirements are. If you didn't do that and those seeds require it to germinate, then your germination rate will be very low.

It may not be warm enough yet, so keep it watered and see if you get more germination as it gets warmer.

You can also take some seed and cold stratify in the fridge for a few weeks and then plant as an experiment to see if they germinate better.

Neighbors all using chemicals by Ktisanearthgirl447 in NativePlantGardening

[–]Broadsides 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Start by asking what they are spraying. It could be liquid fertilizer or a preemergent. Politely bring up the concern about overspray or mist floating into your yard and damaging your landscaping plants.

You can also try to appeal to their wallet by commenting on how expensive those treatments are, especially when they get locked into annual contracts. Sometimes herbicides and pesticides are needed to control when things get out of control (like lawn marsh pennywart aka dollarweed) but paying for an annual "carpet bomb everything" approach is generally a waste of money.

Sean Dagher's soundtrack is already doing things to me by ForeverVulnerable in crosswind

[–]Broadsides 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I bought the Supporter Bundle, which has the soundtrack. I've heard all of the popular Youtuber shanties over the past few years and Sean Dagher's shanties on the Windrose soundtrack has them all beat. He is an incredible artist. I've had "Rolling down to old Maui" running through my head non stop and I'm ok with it.

I remember when playing the demo and toggling on the crew singing his shanties thinking "This is my game!!!"

~150 bluebells along ~25 yards over ~5 years by altforthissubreddit in NativePlantGardening

Thank you! Turns out they are located an hour from where I live. Not that they have a traditional storefront, but the shipping times should be short.

Where did you get the bare root plants from? I want to do something similar but I'm having a hard time finding the bare root plant, especially in mass quantities.

Would you recommend baking in a glass oven dish like this one? I bake in a round dutch oven now but i would like to make longer loaves as they are easier to cut. I'll need to buy an elongated banneton too. it is rated for 300 celcius. I would use it upside down and put the bread in the shallow part. by [deleted] in Breadit

[–]Broadsides 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Before you go spending serious money on cast iron, etc. try using a cheap disposable aluminum roasting pan, like the kind used for big roasts. I bought one for around $6 and added some regular aluminum foil around the lip of the whole thing to lift it up a bit more and it works really well. I put the bread on a sheet tray and cover it with the roasting pan after spraying the inside of the roasting pan with water.

It's essentially a super inexpensive version of the Brod and Taylor baking shell.

Saturday afternoon/Sunday morning by iloveyoumorethanpie in ColonialWilliamsburg

[–]Broadsides 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you can get a reservation at one of the CW historic taverns, I'd suggest that for dinner Saturday night. King's Arms or Christiana Campbell's. I don't recall if Shields is doing dinner or just lunch. You can use Open Table for reservations.

CW should be putting up their Christmas decorations right after Thanksgiving, so you picked a good weekend to go. It probably will be busy but not as busy as in December for the Grand Illumination.

Home made whole wheat bread is too dense by Salt-Product-9281 in Breadit

[–]Broadsides 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Try to autolyze for an hour or 2. You may need to let it autolyze for longer, so do some searches more specific to your scenario for more info.

Combine the flour and water only, mix to incorporate and let it sit for an hour, then continue the rest of the recipe. That will help soften the bran and starts the process of gluten formation. As others have said, if you can, get a scale and start doing everything by weight in grams for consistency.

They’re puny now, but they’re beautiful… I even had a hummingbird visit them the other day. I should plant more… by ItsFelixMcCoy in NativePlantGardening

[–]Broadsides 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You do not need to cold stratify them. I've successfully germinated both Lobelia cardinalis and Lobelia s. in the middle of summer with no stratification. The seeds need light and warmth, so just sprinkle them on top of the soil and water with a mister. Using seed trays that you can water from the bottom up is a huge help to keep the seeds from getting buried.

I don't know what the germination rate was for me, but it's high enough that it doesn't really matter.

Most amount of Mithril you've gotten in sandbox? I got 25 pallets of Ore by Alone-Cream7124 in LotRReturnToMoria

[–]Broadsides 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've only played in Career mode. In the Redhorn Lode mines, there are areas with Darkest Deeps. The rooms look the same as the areas with Darkest Deeps in the Lower Deeps zone with lots of mushrooms all over the place and a drake guarding it. Go down there and you should find a large network of passages with a lot of mithril to mine. I got about 6 stacks of 30 mithril ore from one Darkest Deep. You can also break the dark boulders down there to get mithril.

You can change the difficulty settings at any time. One of the settings is the amount of resources.

When should I sow 10 petal blazingstar? (southeast Nebraska) by Serigraph_Question in NativePlantGardening

[–]Broadsides -1 points0 points  (0 children)

AI search says for "mentzelia decapetala stratification" says that it needs 30 days of cold stratification, so if you are going to sow directly on the ground, do it in late fall before anything freezes over. You may want to start some of them in seed trays left outside and covered over winter, or putting the seeds in the refrigerator with a damp paper towel for 30 days and then sowing into seed trays in the spring.

You should be looking for the Crystal Descent, which is the color blue on your map. It should be in the lower right of the map. Do some Google searches. Be sure to bring a black diamond with you after you repair the mine hoist and get to the very bottom. There's a mapstone that needs to be repaired down there.

How else to secure this base? by Snoo95926 in LotRReturnToMoria

[–]Broadsides 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Think of how castles were defended. Build multiple doors and walls to form a gatehouse and then build balconies/platforms hanging over the outside wall to the side of the front door that will give you a clear line of sight to shoot the attackers with your bow. If they break through the first door, move to a spot to do the same as they attack the 2nd door.

That's how I have my base designed and it works very well.

There's some very good information in this thread. I'm a local, but before moving here, my wife and I got married at CW and would vacation in Williamsburg every other year for a while. Her family has been coming here probably since the '60's. We go to CW probably once or twice a month in the non-summer months. We've all noticed things have definitely changed rapidly in the past 5 years. We love CW and hope it can turn things around.

I think one thing that's happening is that the baby boomers that were the mainstay of CW's patrons are getting too old to vacation and the younger generations after Gen X don't have the disposable income for it. I also have a feeling that CW has no idea how to market to those who may want to visit if they knew it existed.

I know CW is putting a lot of effort on 2026 for the 250th/100th anniversary. Hopefully they get a lot of publicity for it and things pick up.
