#Seed starter Tray

[solarpunkani]

Saw your tags on that post about swamp milkweed about having trouble getting it started--you may already know this, but milkweed seeds need light to germinate! They only need a light dusting of soil on top of them (and putting them somewhere with a lot of light helps!); if you can't see the seed through the soil, it's buried a little too deep. They basically want to be laying flat on the surface of the soil rather than poked down into it, with just enough soil on top to help them retain moisture. Yes this does make it kind of annoying to manage moisture because you don't really want them drying out either (sorry 😭) but I hope this helps!! I mention it because this is the most common issue I see with people trying to grow milkweeds from seed. They also want 4 weeks of cold stratification (cool temperatures like in a fridge while also being in contact with moist soil; you can plant your seeds, pop the whole pot in a ziplock/cover it with cling wrap, and just refrigerate it for a few weeks) so don't forget to do that!

You know

it's really funny

because i like to call myself the self-proclaimed milkweed queen of tumblr (at least on my gardening blog but still)

And yet

I

constantly fucking forget about the light thing

IDK if that'll fix all my problems (the soil at my house is pretty sandy so I think that's the problem when it comes to transplanting at least) but regarding getting those little shits to germinate??? that might be the ticket

(one of the other problems I face sometimes is the seeds deciding to mold when they're in the fridge cold stratifying, i lost a good chunk of seeds to that last year but i don't see any signs of it happening yet this year so fingers crossed everyone)

Danny Phantom Vivisection AU

The only thing Danny can smell is lemons. Maddie always hated the smell of disinfectant, and since it’s necessary to be as clean as possible when performing tests on “live” subjects, she started hanging lemon-scented air fresheners all around the lab. It made working in the lab for long periods of time just a little more bearable.

When they went to visit Jack’s family over the summer, a familiar flower caught her eye. Apparently, his family had been growing them for generations, as a crop. Nearly every recipe they have calls for the use of Blood Blossoms, and they gladly gave her a few cuttings to cultivate. Previously she had only read about them in books since they were thought to be extinct, so growing them was definitely a learning curve.

She planted some at Amity Park, (with permission from the mayor), on every floor of Fenton Works, and even donated some to the GIW. (She figures they could use some help.) At Amity Park they sprouted but withered away after only a week. The only place other than the lab where they successfully grew was the 3rd floor of Fenton Works.

She had put a tray of the seed starters in the hallway window sill, right between Jazz and Danny’s room. It was quite strange because when she moved them away from that wall they would instantly start wilting. She needs to study it more with help from Jack, once he gets back from his “fishing trip”. Half of the time he forgets to even put bait on the end of the pole so she isn’t sure if it can even really be considered fishing.

Her working theory is that there are ectoplasm hotspots, or areas where the ectoplasm is above the background levels, maybe because of extra portal radiation or excessive ghost activity. She and Jack still haven’t quite figured out how exposure to the ghost zone will affect Fenton Works in comparison to the surrounding town. It might be like radiation exposure, but so far there hasn’t been any evidence to support that.

Danny’s room is the most ectoplasmic aside from the lab, and they aren’t sure why. It could be due to a lack of ventilation, or maybe just the devices malfunctioning due to long-term exposure to the lab. She has actually been waiting for the GIW to send her some of their specialty equipment, that way she can get to the bottom of this.

She reminds herself that she needs to focus while she is documenting her capture of Phantom. When she gives the journal to Lance Thunder and Harriet Chin she wants to make sure that it is thorough enough that they can’t mess up the broadcast. Disinformation will only further harm the already incredibly stigmatized job of being a ghost hunter. She does not want people to see her as a hoax.

Okay, back to writing. Jack was in the Specter Speeder, hot on the tail of the lunch lady, while Maddie followed on foot with the Fenton Bazooka. They were determined to catch a ghost and find something note-worthy enough to report to the news station. They needed the people to understand that all ghosts are monsters! Just because Phantom plays pretend as some sort of superhero, doesn’t mean that he is one. Where was he when she and Jack were building the portal and had to work daunting shifts every night to protect the town? It’s not like he is some kid who died recently, ghosts are bound in the town that they died in until they are old enough to have lost every shred of humanity they once had.

No one in town has a kid who died or went missing recently, so he must be around thousands of years old. If she's right about his age, then he doesn’t actually care about the town, he just got bored one day in the ghost realm and decided he wanted more attention, and he got it! Why can’t everyone else see him for who he really is? Alas, it is the life that she signed up for, after all.

As they were catching up to the Lunch Lady she spotted something down the alley, right beside the Nasty Burger. She motioned for Jack to keep pursuing the Lunch Lady while she went to check out what she saw. Even if it was just a blob ghost it might be helpful to their research. What she didn’t realize was that she had just struck gold!

As she approached the end of the alley, she saw Phantom. He seemed injured, more than usual at least. He always seemed to have scratches or open wounds, but not to this extent.

He had horrific gashes running all the way from his left shoulder to the bottom of his torso. He seemed very out of it like he didn’t even know there was someone standing in front of him. It was also strange because his gashes were leaking green and red, (very Christmassy for someone who ruined Christmas last year), she giggled to herself.

She shot him with the Fenton Bazooka for good measure, and he just collapsed. What a fantastic find! With him, she would be able to get so much more information about ghost anatomy than she normally could. She called Jack to the front of the Nasty Burger and chucked Phantom into the backseat. They strapped him in, just to be safe, and took him back to the lab.

A few days passed, and after immeasurable amounts of tests, they found that he had blood blossoms in his system. That must have weakened him. That's probably how he got the gashes, some other ghost took advantage of his state of health. She doesn’t know how he got a hold of blood blossoms and knows even less about why on earth he would ingest them, but either way, her research has its missing piece, a live subject!

She would squeal with delight if she weren't about to vivisect a ghost. Could it count as vivisection since they're already dead? She thinks it should since they’re semi-sentient, but will consider it more later.

Blood Blossoms also don’t grow naturally anywhere in town, so Phantom was either poisoned, or he intentionally stole them from Fenton Works, which is improbable. Could it have been on purpose? Maybe ghosts got depressed just like people, she writes herself a note to ask Phantom about it after the vivisection if he survives.

However, they weren’t missing any of the Blood Blossoms they had in the lab, so that theory probably won’t lead to anything.

All she and Jack use them for right now is cooking. They snuck them into the kids ��� breakfasts and lunches because, alongside their ability to ward off ghosts, they’re also surprisingly healthy. The only reason they didn’t tell the kids is because they can be so picky sometimes!

When she proposed the idea of using them as seasoning, because she just wants them to be safe from ghosts, they both looked disgusted and their only justification was that “they stink and look really unappetizing.”

Jazz is at her counseling session with Spike, and Sam texted her that Danny is staying at her place tonight to work on a class project. She honestly didn’t even know they had classes together.

When they come home she is going to bother them so much about the Blood Blossoms. They both ate their entire meal with no complaint, so they couldn’t have tasted that bad. They are just kids though, they’re allowed to be picky. She remembers what it was like when she was their age.

Closed Halloween starter for @ordoniia!

"Well, that's all the seeds from the pumpkins...!" Sifting through the 'pumpkin guts' as he called them, the seeds were taken out and arranged on a small tray, staring down at the tray with a furrowed brow.

"Y'know...I've heard some people roast pumpkin seeds - have 'em as a snack,"

i have compiled some native plant gardening tips for those of whom are new to it based on my own experiences and trials and errors, so here goes:

if you're germinating seeds, dont use coco coir. it sucks. ignore anyone who tells you to use it. it doesnt hold moisture well at all and doesnt decompose well. look for a "seed starter" soil instead, it will have a bunch of beneficial nutrients n such to get the seeds and their roots going. if you're concerned about peat, there are plenty out there that don't have any, coast of maine comes to mind. I used to think I needed to grow them in a sterile env, mostly to prevent mold, but I find that nearly impossible to avoid, so on to my next tip:

you're better off trying to start your native seeds outside. even if you wanna use cell trays, thats fine (bring them in when it freezes though), but preventing mold when germinating inside, especially in your fridge with all your food you sometimes forget is there and gets moldy, i've found to be nearly impossible. granted, mold isnt always a bad thing, it can help eat the seed coating so the roots can grow, but this obviously isnt true for all seeds and especially not small seeds. outside is your best bet, I just find less mold grows out there. might be good to make a mini green house of sorts to keep your seed trays in, obviously thats unnecessary if you're growing them in the ground.

if you're like me and have no real ground space and only have a patio or balcony and have to grow everything in pots, I have a couple tips for you actually, but for now lets focus on winter protecting your plants. most suggest burying them under ground... im assuming like me that isn't really an option for you, so we're gonna come up with another solution. you're probably going to need to invest a good amount of money into this, depending on if you have the material around or not. but to start off:

huddle all your pots together. they can help insulate eachother better and keep eachother warm. i try to put the least cold hardy ones in the center, if you can, put them all together in a larger container like a bucket or something and cover it with lots of mulch. water sparingly and lightly, enough to wet the soil but not enough to drip through the bottom of the pot. you should be sparingly watering anyways in winter, but especially so here since they'll probably be in a container that doesnt drain unless you want to drill in holes on the bottom. try to make sure the pots dont touch the sides of the containers if they're plastic and fill in the gaps with mulch or something, plastic isnt the best material to use for pots regardless, unfortunately its the cheapest and most readily available and comes in varying sizes so I cant get mad at you for using it.

heavily mulch your plants. maybe put some straw on top of the mulch too if you have any. I used to think leaves were enough but there's too much airy space between them, you want to make the insulation as compact as possible. if you're wanting to make a place for bumblebees to hibernate i'd suggest making an entirely different leaf pile or something unrelated to your plants. (obv doesnt apply to ppl growing stuff in the ground bc you have the privilege of being able to sprinkle leaves wherever you want. bastard.)

invest in some burlap fabric and some cheap towels or blankets for even more insulation, the fuzzier the blanket the better imo, but it should be fine whatever you choose, just try not to get too thin of a fabric. the burlap and blanket/towel might not be necessary to use every day but definitely on days where its below freezing. these also will last you every year, assuming you take care of them right. cover the tops of pots but also wrap around the sides of them and maybe put a layer or two of burlap down on the ground under them, esp if they're on cold hard concrete.

if you have any plants with tuberous roots, they are more vulnerable to freezing if they're in a pot and will need extra protection or to be brought inside during a freeze, to not shock it with a temperature shift try putting the pot in the fridge if you can, otherwise again it might be good to try to make a mini green house of sorts, maybe turn one of those plastic window well covers into one? or put it in a garage if you have something like that. they also, maybe obviously but just in case, dont need to be watered as often since they have lots of water stored in themselves.

putting your pots really close to the walls of your house can also help keep them warm. not sure if its enough to prevent them from freezing but combined with everything else? well, it's survived many of my plants over the last couple years (though i didnt know about the tuber thing until recently and it explains so much why certain plants didnt make it >_>)

ok moving on from winter. lets go back to talking about pots, bc seriously if you can get your hands on ANYTHING besides a plastic pot, jump on it. they suck universally. they suck in winter and in summer. their only benefit is providing some humidity but that's not really something I personally need as someone in a temperate climate. also, the lighter the pot the better. dark plastic pots can cook the roots of your plants in the sun in summer so you have to be extra careful. also, the deeper the pot the better for native plants.

because you're growing native plants in pots, they're going to need a lot more extra care. native plants in the ground can pretty much be neglected since nature takes care of it all, but you have to provide the water, soil, fertilizer, etc. so lets talk about that:

you dont need to water every day necessarily, the old trick of watering when the top 1-2 inches is dry is your best method to go by. if you live in the midwest or northeast or anywhere it gets heavy rain, it would be good to give them a deep watering every now and then, I try to follow what the rain does and water at the same frequency as it. it would be good to water daily (maybe only a small amount if the soil is still somehow wet) on really hot days even though you dont have to water every day, like on days above 90 degrees. also the best time to water, especially in summer, is early in the morning, ideally some time before 8, 9 is ok but 8 is better imo bc it gives the roots more time to absorb the water before the sun evaporates it, and around 10 is when that starts happening. if you have to water at night, water early at night and try to avoid watering the leaves if you can as water left over on them overnight can cause mold, mildew or other diseases. if you have to water mid day, at least wait until the sun isnt directly on the plants so they can actually absorb some of the water.

since you have to provide your own water and cant rely on rain, you also have to provide your own fertilizer. I mean you already did before, but I mean liquid fertilizer. rain transfers all kinds of vitamins and minerals to the plants that receive it, but you're likely not getting nearly as much in your tap, and since your pots likely aren't being shat in by various woodland creatures, they're getting even less fertilizer. so you have to provide the fertilizers, both slow and liquid. I thought I could just get by with slow release but the plants seem to do better with liquid too, especially when in bloom. if you use slow release you dont need to use the liquid fertilizer as often, and you also likely dont have to use the liquid as frequently as it says on the bottle, since native plants generally require less nutrients to begin with, but of course this is something you'll probably have to test on your own to see how much your plants want and tolerate. I have a whole feeding schedule I can share if you want. some brands I've been using for liquid fertilizer are foxfarm (they have good soil too), microlife, and maxsea (technically a powder but you mix it with water) and for slow release is foxfarm again, jobe's organics, and lilly miller's. I'm trying to use as organic of materials as I can since I'm growing the plants for native wildlife and pollinators and I dont want to negatively effect them as much as possible. if anyone wants to know what products I use specifically hmu or leave a reply.

I trust you're able to figure out your soil situation on your own, but here's some tips just in case: try to avoid brands like miracle grow since I'm pretty sure it has inorganic materials in it, generally I'd aim for the most organic thing you can find, assuming you're growing native plants for the same reason I am, for nature. also, take those messages about well-draining soil seriously, you can use perlite but also some soils are just lighter than others, I find foxfarms is pretty light and drains well.

during winter, leave the plants as they are, dont cut them down. lots of bugs and animals have made nests or homes or have cocoons n such in there. you can cut it down in the spring when frost is nor longer a concern, but dont throw it in the trash either bc the bugs might still be sleeping in them but will be less vulnerable now that winter is gone.

ok that's all I can think of for now, I'll add on to this if I think of anything else, but hopefully this is helpful for someone out there :]

[just-your-average-cryptid]

There’s something so awfully sad to me about the people who say human nature is to be violent, greedy, selfish, snapping and snarling at shadows; who think that man’s only role in nature is to destroy it or subjugate it.

Because yes, we can be violent and destructive, selfish conquerors fighting over scraps of power. So much of history is soaked in blood, so much of our lives marked by suffering.

And yet. And yet.

And yet there is humility, generosity, kindness, gentleness, love.

There are parents who vow to make their children feel safe, to never make them fear the raised voices and hands that still make them flinch.

There are children who sneak food into their bags or pockets for the friend too overworked to eat sometimes, who ask nothing in return because the act is enough.

There are friends who send you things because “it reminded me of you!”

There are people who help turtles across the street.

There are people who smile and make faces at babies on the bus.

There are people who buy you lunch and tell you not to worry about paying them back.

Do you see?

There are people finding ways to clean the trash out of the ocean.

There are people turning water bottles into plant starters, containers into storage trays.

There are people banding together to protect their rivers, their lakes, the birds and the fish and the water in the pipes.

There are people doing something, anything they can, even if it’s small, because it matters.

Do you see?

We are not a perfect species; nothing is. All of nature kills and creates. We’re not special. We’re a collection of overdeveloped mammals that hit the evolutionary jackpot.

I think, in the purest sense, human nature is to care.

We care about each other, we care about ourselves, we care about our fellow creatures, we care so much that we pack bond with machines built by our hands and celebrate their birthdays.

Know this, that those who say we can never be more than beasts are lying. Hatred is taught. So is love. A human can never survive in isolation.

As they say, it takes a village.

Those who claim all are selfish seek to deny the truth: that they could have been kinder, better. They chose this path, this destruction, and to acknowledge that is to blame themselves. They can’t accept that. They can’t accept that it was, and is, a CHOICE.

Let them wallow in their own darkness. You are better than that.

You are part of this planet. You are not the wrench in the gears but a gear yourself, another node in this vast network of life. You are also an animal, no more and no less.

Humans are not a plague on this world, we are a species that neglected our niche. We are farmers, herders, seed-savers, builders. There are cultures that have lived for thousands of years this way, working with nature instead of against it.

Do not let despair swallow you. There is a way, and we will walk it together.

Every day was the same. Wake with the dawn, wash, dress, help make the breakfast, then off across a small patch of grassy land to tend to the Seeds. Fox knew when to keep her mouth shut, knew when to forget the secrets she heard, because of this, she was trusted. Perhaps more than some. Not that she thought much of it. How could she be special when it was the brothers who brought about the new word, when it was Faith who helped the most beautiful flowers bloom, and when the Father had what he called Visions. She, however, was only another member in the great project. A sheep in need of shepherding.

Entering the building where Joseph Seed was housed, Fox dipped her head toward the members who stood in the main rooms, a content smile on her lips, and a tray of tea in her hands. She walked calmly to the door to Joseph's room, sat the tray on the table in the hall, and poured the crushed powder into the still steaming cup. Jacob had told her it was medicine, that it was something Joseph needed, and she did not question it. Doing exactly as he said, every day.

"Good Morning, Joseph," she greeted softly as she opened the now unlocked slot in the door. Carefully placing the tray with the tea and his meager breakfast on the shelf protruding. Aside from glimpses through the small rectangular slot, she had never seen him fully. Not up close, anyway, or in person. Sometimes, she thought about bending down to level her eyes with it, but it felt too sinful to give into her curiosities, to invade his space.

"There was marmalade today, I put some extra by your plate." Technically, she wasn't supposed to talk to him, but, truth be told, she was lonely. She imagined he might be, too. "And--" Looking quickly up and down the hall, Fox carefully pushed her hand into the opening in the door. Her closed fist opening to reveal a rather battered looking, tiny blue flower. It had lived in her pocket since yesterday, and the petals hung limp and wilted against her palm. As if he was a wild animal, a tiger stalking around in a cage, Fox dropped the flower onto the shelf and pulled her hand back quickly.

"There's a grove on the edge of the forest filled with the start of all these blue flowers. It is the first sign of spring, I think." She smiled to herself. "I thought you might enjoy seeing something from the garden."

In the past, I’d have started these seeds in a tray indoors. The control offered by this beguiling setup and the insurance that there’s the least amount of waisted seed is enticing. I hate waist. Like sourdough starter, you have to do something with the leftover!

In actuality, starting seed indoors has been the bigger waist up till this point, with few exceptions like tomatoes. My work schedule combined with what I now recognize as an executive function disorder (with or whiteout ADHD hopefully can be diagnosed soon with the doc) means that I’ve probably waisted more seed than if I had just direct sown after frost, or not bothered at all.

It’s a process learning to be gentle within this weird in-between. This often paralyzing executive mayday mayday mayday. As a toast to last year’s dried crusty dead tray of Japanese Indigo, these seeds will persevere! The heart and soul of my farm is this Persicaria tinctoria. I call my farm Indigo Atma after all.

Flowers, herbs, fruits, and salad greens started

Got a 10 pack of seed trays and some starter soil. Here we go!!! Spring '23 is gonna be lit...

[thefearlessredhead]

Spent all weekend finishing up a veggie garden! We also hung up the cutest lights.

A little background, for the garden, it’s too early to plant a few things so as placeholders we found these cute metallic stakes for now

We are growing starter vegetables and have some companion flowers to help act as defense and attract the right bugs!

I also repurposed the inside of a dryer to use as a fire pit and it works SO well!

The wood to make our box was about 45$ from Home Depot!

Cardboard as weed preventative (free ) we saved up boxes

Base layer dirt (free) just labor of shoveling for about 3 hours out of the hillside at an old junkyard

Topsoil for our box (30ish) we had a lot left over that I am using for other projects

Seeds AND flowers — we also got 5 other plants for the INSIDE of our home along with seeding trays to start a couple veggies indoors : $111

Overall, I’m super happy with our final project. It’s too early to plant watermelon, and we couldn’t find ANY sweet potato slips, but I’m hoping this garden grows like no other because we are so tired of going to the markets😅

what kind of carnivorous plants do you have??? i wanna get into it but idk where to start

Ooh, yes you should!! It's definitely a little overwhelming to get started though, yeah.

My babies are a Virtue's Victory tropical pitcher plant (N. ventricosa), a King Henry venus flytrap (variant on D. muscipula), a Mexican pinguicula butterwort (P. cyclosecta), a Cape sundew (D. capensis), a North American crimson pitcher plant (S. leucophylla), and a Floating sundew (D. admirabilis) that I'm trying extremely hard to sprout from a seed.

There's a ton of info out there on CPs, but my favorite place for resources, live plants, and care products is California Carnivores. I highly recommend them if you're in the US. Most of their plants come pre-potted in appropriate soil, which is a huge part of CP care (fertilizer-free, low nutrient soil is a must) and they offer heat packs for plant shipping which is really nice.

My suggestion for starter plants are a Cape sundew (would grow in the toilet tbh), a venus flytrap (read up on them though, the average Walmart VFT kit is Not Correct), and maybe a butterwort of some kind. They're very hardy little dudes who will forgive you if there's a learning curve. I wouldn't recommend starting with any pitcher plants. They're extremely dramatic and love to die if you shift them a foot to the left or feed the wrong trap.

Really all you need to start off is a jug of distilled (it HAS to be distilled) water, a tray that you can fill with a couple inches of that water to set the plants in, and an LED grow light. A mister is nice to have, as is some extra CP-friendly sphagnum moss for substrate emergencies, but they aren't necessities.

80% of keeping carnivores alive is doing research ahead of time on each plant and keeping them wet once you get them. They aren't as intimidating as they seem! I hope you give it a go!!
