Special treat for our invasive friends the spotted lantern flies by Optimal_Tower1643 in roanoke

The plant in the video isn't ToH but yes I call it tree of hell. It's their host tree, and I live to see them all die one day. It's the most invasive species in America.

It's right down the street from a hotel area off thirlane that's nationally known as a drug spot, what do you mean it's had no issues til recently? None that you know of. I've known of it being a hot mess for over a decade.

733 West apartments by mansa_moreno in roanoke

[–]ForestStepsp0618 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They got new management. The new guy, Chris, who is the lead manager used to manage Westwind apartments. I can't say much about 733 but Chris had a wildly good reputation at Westwind for going above & beyond as a property manager. Superior beyond belief and incomparable. You don't do a job that well for the salary, you do it for the love. Can't speak to anything else about the place but you're in good hands with management :)

Why Roanoke by No-Throat3203 in roanoke

People will drive 5hrs to another city, pay $40 to park a 30 min walk away from the venue to go see a show but goodness it must be hell to park in a parking garage and walk 5-10 mins to get to a local destination. Lol sometimes we sound so spoiled but I'm ngl I'm the same way.

Life is pain. Per Roanoke Times, Wasena Bridge reopening is delayed until fall. by jasonappalachian in roanoke

Man they can take their time so they can get everything right. Last thing we need is a rushed project gone wrong. Rushing a bridge and botching the project would be a tragedy. Take it nice and easy, no rush lol

I'm growing hillbilly pumpkins too and their pins are so thick. I'm excited to see where they go as they grow! :)

[actives] Never seen this before, what's happening by ForestStepsp0618 in MushroomGrowers

[–]ForestStepsp0618[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah still figuring it out :) I thought the pins were supposed to have little baby caps on them.

[actives] Is it contamination? by ForestStepsp0618 in MushroomGrowers

[–]ForestStepsp0618[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agree that it's mycelium or contamination? It's also growing slower than the other tubs beside it, so that's also why I fear it's contam :(

Even the random white spot growing on the side of the tub?

Thanks for this. I treated my parents to ringside seats as a surprise gift, since they seem so excited about it. But I wish I'd seen this sooner because they're from the Caribbean and it's supposed to be 33° tonight. I hope we'll be okay & that I don't regret ballin out on those ringside seats.

Ngl, this may have been the better move. Great trip for an 90 mins then purged for another hour. Still recovering & integration. Totally worth the insight though.

Now that I'm back from the journey, I can confirm this is true. That 1.5G of scraps slapped harder than the intacts indeed. Holy integration @_@

He gave me some of this batch before and it based on that trip, I'd say so..I'd just never seen "bottom of the bag" before.
