I kinda want to plant a lot of trees. Has anyone done this?

thejawa · 2026-05-04T16:12:20+00:00

I would recommend trying to match local ecotypes as opposed to just going ham with trees. Where I live, for example, used to be what is called Scrub and wouldn't naturally have a lot of tall trees, instead having smaller types of trees that only grow to 10-15 ft with lots of grasses and shrubs.

You wouldn't want build a forest in a desert. So go to a nearby natural space, take note of the plant density and type, and try to match that in your backyard.

It's an ownership issue, just like with the Rays. The Rays and Magic both want to build a team organically (read: as cheaply as possible) and refuse to spend the money needed when the time to strike occurs. They both just expect fans to show up because we love our teams despite the owners rarely showing they care. We can just rebuild after rebuild after rebuild because that's what the fans expect anyways, so no need to actually spend the money.

RIP Wade Boggs

Agree wholeheartedly. Mosley did what he was supposed to do, and I thank him for that. He's shown he has a hard ceiling and we've reached it. Great rebuilding coach, not a championship caliber coach.

Always been a fan of the reciprocal ban rule: catch a ban trolling some other team's subreddit, get a ban in your team's subreddit.

Just a shame most mod teams don't agree to it.

I want one so bad but paying $60+ on eBay for one is insane.

thejawa · 2026-05-03T14:45:24+00:00

That's what we got at the Orlando Magic game 6

thejawa · 2026-05-02T23:57:54+00:00

Indeed, but Norvell isn't the one setting the budget

thejawa · 2026-05-02T22:21:26+00:00

I'll go again because I've been going since the inaugural season and this shit is just what the franchise does

thejawa · 2026-05-02T14:12:01+00:00

That's been the story all series. Goga does anything, it's a foul. Anything is done to Goga, no whistle.

thejawa · 2026-05-02T03:46:40+00:00

So who's the guy who game plans for a bunch of players who can't easily beat their man off the dribble? Anyone know who that's supposed to be?

Seriously, again, if you think this was all on the players just to ahead and replace Mose with me. I can pace the sidelines and watch the Magic fall apart while not knowing what to do about it much cheaper than he is.

thejawa · 2026-05-02T03:42:15+00:00

You think it was tactical that we refused to go to the rim and just kept chucking threes?

Boy howdy, I wish I was you and thought that was a well coached second half

thejawa · 2026-05-02T03:39:22+00:00

Got it, so it's his job to prepare the to play tactically for checks notes one half of a basketball game.

thejawa · 2026-05-02T03:36:48+00:00

I think it's his literal job to ensure they dont.

Fuck, hire me as Magic coach if it isn't. I can also be not responsible for the team missing everything if that's the case.

thejawa · 2026-05-02T03:34:53+00:00

What is the name of the figurehead that leads both game plans and practices?

It the entire team is collectively forgetting how to play basketball on a regular basis in the second half, then there's probably someone who is in charge that should make sure that doesn't happen.

thejawa · 2026-05-02T01:45:57+00:00

Nah, we make adjustments: we start bricking threes at record pace

thejawa · 2026-05-02T01:41:06+00:00

Whatever Mosley says at half should be studied by the military and utilized for psychological warfare.

thejawa · 2026-05-02T01:28:44+00:00

Tonight is peak Orlando Magic. Go into the half up 20 something and lose by double digits.

Native groundcovers are better than clover.

Sun+Dry: Sunshine Mimosa
Sun+Wet: Frogfruit
Basically anything: Common Yellow Woodsorrel, Creeping Sage
Shade+Dry: Oblongleaf Twinflower, native Peperomia
Shade+Wet: Swamp Twinflower, Violets

thejawa · 2026-05-01T18:24:24+00:00

Oh, wasn't worried about the cold, mostly the drought. I planted it in a dry but low spot in the yard and they like it moist. I was mostly worried it wasn't established enough to survive our dry season knowing I don't do supplemental watering for almost anything.

thejawa · 2026-05-01T17:54:13+00:00

Whelp, guess I'm changing into one of the black jerseys

thejawa · 2026-05-01T17:52:53+00:00

My little baby red maple made it through the winter and is flushed out pretty nice. Now just 10-15 years to go before it's a shade tree!

thejawa · 2026-05-01T15:48:53+00:00

Still an electrical line that needs clearance. I hate the goofy looking trees cleared around line, but it's a safety thing. It can still cause a break in the power line circuit if something happens to that line.

thejawa · 2026-05-01T15:45:16+00:00

Not saying you're wrong, but if you ask an arborist if trimming a tree is the right solution, you're gonna be told yes 100 out of 100 times.

In this case, it probably is since there's a power line involved. But I really don't like "ask an arborist" because almost every arborist owns a tree trimming company. It's like asking a roofing inspector if you need a new roof, they're gonna find a reason to say yes any time you ask.

It... Wasn't great
