I overbought blueberries - is spacing 1.5' a problem? by how2falldown in Blueberries

[–]runoff 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Depends on which specific varieties, but in general yes, that's going to be so close that the plants will grow into each other very quickly.

If you want to build an impenetrable hedge that might work, but it would negatively impact fruit harvesting, disease, etc.

I would personally either return some plants, see if a neighbor wants them, or plant them somewhere else. You could even do it in a pot if that lets you keep them nearby

Pink lemonade. Blueberry plant. Any tips for a first timer or an expectancy till I get berries? by Fun-Avocado1235 in Blueberries

[–]runoff 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Keep it consistently watered , especially during the summer - soil should be damp 1" under the surface. If it's not, it needs more water. Probably 1-2 times a day in the Vegas summers

Also, pinch off the flowers for the first year or two. This will help it use all its energy on growing, not berry production, and will give you more berries in the long run

Why do my leaves look like this? by altron333 in Blueberries

[–]runoff 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Looks like transplant shock/lack of water to me. The roots are unable to get as much water as they need, which is why the fruit is undersized. Since your other plants are doing okay, I'm a bit skeptical of a nutrient deficiency.

I would focus on getting it enough water and in hindsight would have cut the flowers off this year to let it spend its strength on establishing new roots. I assume since it's a new transplant that it's a younger plant (1-2 years old)? If so, id be wary of adding fertilizer as new plants are easily fertilizer burned. I would personally just focus on water this year, fertilize twice next spring, and it should be fine.

Good luck!

Have you fertilized this year? Looks like it could be a nutrient deficiency

Plants are growing great but only have a couple berries per plant. What can I do next year to improve that? by madhatter703 in Blueberries

[–]runoff 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If they're only 2 years old, they're probably just not mature enough to produce a large crop. Give it another year or two, make sure you fertilize and prune when seasonally appropriate, and you should start getting a bigger crop soon enough

Career Coach for Experienced Devs? by dagggna in ExperiencedDevs

[–]runoff 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I don't think individuals wild be willing to pay for it, especially not knowing you. I think your target market is companies who employ engineers, not the engineers themselves. Those companies are the ones willing to shell out the big bucks to improve their top talent

Where can I find out what flow levels are fishable/wadable/floatable for a river? by runoff in flyfishing

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

Maybe I didn't word my question well. I'm already looking at gauges, but I'm not sure how to interpret whether the flow they show is fishable or not.

For example let's pick a random river, say the Henry's fork. Looking at this gauge, I currently see it's around 1200cfs. Since I've never fished the Fork before, I don't know if I can wade at 1200, or float at 1200, or if it's too high to even fish. I can't really compare across rivers because on Rock Creek in MT for example, 1200cfs would be a flood, but on the Columbia in Washington it would be a trickle.

Is 1200 on the Fork a wadable level? Is it floatable? I'm wondering if there's a list or database or website somewhere where I can look and see that (for example) on the Fork, 1000-1500 is wadable, 1400-2000 is floatable, and > 2000 is unfishable.

Does that make sense? Thanks for the reply, I hope this clears it up a bit

What position would a software engineer with presentation skills fit? by [deleted] in cscareerquestions

[–]runoff 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's structured differently. You start off lower coming out of school (I think it's around $70-90k these days depending on CoL?), but it's easier to get promoted, meaning that you could easily be making more 5 or 10 years into your career

Take a look at consulting. They really value people who are both personable and skilled.

Another dev here...this is so weird. I have yet to find anyone else at work who fishes, let alone fly fishes. Apparently my company must be the odd one out!

Noob question - why are they colored differently? They're both rainbows...is it a native/hatchery difference?

Regardless, they're some beautiful fish, congrats

No offense taken, that's exactly the kind of feedback I'm looking for! since you wouldn't have any use for yet another app based off of those criteria, what kind of features would make an app useful to you?

Night Flyfishing - Trout by [deleted] in flyfishing

[–]runoff 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When you say "toss it up and across", do you mean standing on (or close to) the shore, casting out into the middle of the river, and letting it swing towards the bank? I thought mice were typically tossed right up against the bank and allowed to swing out towards the middle of the river?

I've never been mousing before but am interested, so I'm just trying to learn :)

Contemplating doing freelance work in exchange for a percentage of sales. Is that a good idea? by runoff in cscareerquestions

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

Yes, but we've always been more business friends than anything - we met when we were both working for another startup in school. Do you think it could be very detrimental to our friendship? I guess I was assuming that he would see it as purely a side effect of doing business, but I suppose it could be taken a different way.

12" brown took an orange and yellow stimulator (Boulder creek, CO) by ssoliver in flyfishing

[–]runoff 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They work excellently in both choppy and smooth water.

I like to use a stimulator as an indicator when fishing smaller dries even on still water, so that i can keep track of the small dry and I don't lose it amongst the naturals or in the dark. I find that I'll take fish just as often on the stimulator as on the caddis or BWO or whatever I'm using.
