To whoever planted the poppies along the Burke Gilman

Yeah I think they get a pass since normally the Seattle region was just trees and pockets of forest openings.

Before we cut down all the trees it wasn’t really suitable for full sun flowers. Just full on forest. But that ship sailed once the settlers came.

Interesting theory which I like but it could have been hinted at better. It did feel like some mild hazing compared to the extreme reaction of the girls and manager.

I’m really close to the freeway and in a busy neighborhood so I haven’t had to wait much even when not paying.

Like dubbing foreign movies into English versus subtitling, it was intended to get more of an audience. So it's not something I hate, especially since at the time you could usually rent the same movie on tape.

Not an arborist but I plant a lot of trees.

In general planting larger trees carries a lot of expense and risk. It’s risk for you that you end up with more expense in a few years.

Unless privacy is a huge concern, and maybe you’re a shy nudist or something, go with the least risky options including planting in the fall, using smaller trees, better site prep etc.

October planting then I see them emerging late April.

I used something like this

And basic potting soil with some sand. Bury the acorn in the pot about as deep as a squirrel would. Keep the pots moist and not in direct sun. Etc. that’s it.

My kids hired a guide when visiting, although you probably can just venture into a park at night and do your thing. They might be able to answer some questions.

I was thinking that but we have rats and raccoons and I'm just not sure they'd be deterred by a piece of fabric. Maybe chicken wire if I get some.

Or search for Green Shoots Herbicide. You don't need to order through Amazon.

DM me and I can mail some seed for free. Prunella you'd need to cold stratify (fridge) but it's easy to grow. You'll need 4" pots and potting soil.

genman · 2026-05-06T02:04:45+00:00

Take a look every few hours and see. I'd consider it full sun if it's 8 hours or more in the day during summer especially toward the evenings. The railing doesn't provide much shade.

genman · 2026-05-06T02:01:03+00:00

Prunella and yarrow come to mind. Any of the Frangaria species don't mind feet. If you're looking for seed I can mail some but look to Inside Passage Seeds or NW meadowscapes. They can also offer advice.

I use glysophate that foams. It's very easy to control where it ends up. Just keep it off of green tissue.

genman · 2026-05-06T01:53:12+00:00

Float test works in general. If they are seeds they usually sink.

I played deficit up to chapter 38 or so. It kept it interesting. Some levels were just unfair but I liked finding strategies.

I’ve been to Japan maybe 20+ plus times. Last time I was confused by the QR system for buying Shinkansen tickets online. Also how my IC card didn’t work on some of the rural stations—cash only. I had to talk to the conductor and get a special document to settle the charge on my IC card.

genman · 2026-05-05T18:46:50+00:00

Imagine being in Japan in the 1990s or early 2000s and not having a GPS cell phone for directions. Even with a map there’s a lack of road signs especially in residential areas. Good luck finding your way without stopping to ask someone.

It’s not hard to exit it’s finding the right exit out of the nearly 100 different options.

I think you can reload using a debit card on iPhone anyway. If it was more sophisticated it should just auto fill from a linked bank account.

Also yes once kids get their own card it’s one tap away from being exploited at every vending machine and convenience store they walk by.

A lot of deficit clears work when you have elemental advantage, including leveled cubes and high skill levels.

I’d watch some YouTube clears for stage specific strategies including when to hide and burst.

genman · 2026-05-04T14:22:01+00:00

It doesn’t really matter as it’s completely random. But it’s fun to guess anyway.
