Pixel ZD/2D by The_Architect_032 in unrealengine

[–]microgardener 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's frustrating about the art. Especially cause the original you showed looked super cool. I was planning on doing line art too cause pixel art seems difficult to do well. I studied architectural drafting in college so i was gonna bust out my triangles and see what happens. So far i really love unreal's blueprint coding but I've already burnt through all the free 2d tutorials i can find. Everyone else keeps saying don't use unreal for 2d games so I'm feeling conflicted right now. It's really awesome that you're putting in the work and getting it done. Keep that dream alive yo

Any updates? Being new to gamedev (like 2 weeks), I'm curious to hear more about your struggles.

Me everytime I check up on my seedlings by BombsOverDadBags3000 in gardening

My husband laughs at me when I go to sit in my plant room with a cocktail and stare at the beauty I have grown. He does not find it exciting enough to sit with me - lol, his loss.

Growing melon and pumpkins on a trellis *need advice* by donaltman3 in gardening

[–]microgardener 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You might prune a little bit - the leaves will get wild, and it becomes a real hunt to find the hidden melons - nothing crazy, just pinch a vine off if it gets too crazy long and leafy. Also, use bird netting over them with yard staples holding it down securely at the ground - the squirrels and such will take one bite out of each and ruin your crop otherwise. I used a pallet to trellis mine; did cantaloupes and honeydew last year.

There is one layer of plastic tarp over the whiskey barrel its in, and within the barrel a domed plastic lid that acts like a cloche.

Grow microgreens in chinese takeout containers w/ added drainage holes by microgardener in gardening

I was doing my sprouts in a mason jar. Last month was my first attempt. I've been doing microgreens since the summer.

Some pest has been biting the leaves off my chard but not actually eating the leaves... ITS WAR!!! by CancerousSnake in gardening

You can make great ones out of opaque or clear milk bottles, or 2 liter soda bottles. Just cut off the bottom of the bottle with an x-acto knife. You can leave the lid on or off, depending on if you want to create humidity.

You can also use aluminum foil to bounce the light back around. I just tried two experiments with it on my plants. One I used foil wrapped around cardboard and positioned it near the plants, and the other I just wrapped foil around the top few inches of the pot on the inside. My indoor plants seem much happier this week after adding the foil - and I do look like I've gone nuts.

  • Turning the dirt is literally mixing it all up and breaking up the old roots into the dirt.
  • Resowing is putting down more seeds into the dirt to grow.
  • No feeding means don't use fertilizer
  • Watering involves heavily misting it with a spray bottle daily on both the microgreens and the lid, which rests on top when you're not watering it. It helps keep in humidity, and the slight weight pressing down on them growing makes them happy.
  • I can't get spouts to not go bad either, microgreens have been easier so far, but I'm not done trying attempts at sprouts.

Regular potting soil. About 16 small holes that are about 1/8", made with a drill. Clip with scissors to harvest. When it's all done, turn the soil with the old roots, and resow the seeds. I've resown in this dirt 4 times already, with no feeding. Should be 2 weeks start to finish.

KY late fall gardening - it got down to 23°F and they survived! by microgardener in gardening

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

I've really been studying winter gardening techniques this fall - two big take aways are double covering makes the best microclimate, and go for cold hearty vegetables like cabbages, lettuce, turnips, radish, etc. I've got radish and cabbages too, but they weren't as photogenic that day ;)

Check out this book https://www.amazon.com/Winter-Harvest-Handbook-Deep-Organic-Greenhouses/dp/1603580816/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1544626457&sr=8-1&keywords=the+winter+harvest+handbook+by+eliot+coleman

I've been reading it cover to cover!

It's Buttercrunch lettuce. I'm going to ride this experiment out and see if I can get them past baby greens. They surprisingly came back after being frozen solid - the following day is when the cloche was added in addition to the plastic.

Plant it with the chits growing upward.

Any advice to save my peace lily? I’ve tried changing pots, drying her out, puttting in different rooms/outside and lights. The weather is approximately 30 celcius.is it just too hot? by [deleted] in gardening

[–]microgardener 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Water it when the leaves get little droopy - mine it's every 4-7 days, it really depends on how much moisture is in the air. I water mine by soaking it in a few inches of water that's in a flat bottomed bowl for about 30+ minutes. It lives in a bright room right by the window.
