#propagation — Public Fediverse posts

This weekend's haul wasn't too bad for how terrible conditions were. Propagation was pretty horrible, but still managed about 50 contacts. Can the sun please chill out a bit?

Several weeks ago, I’ve made a makeshift greenhouse/coldFrame to propagate plants and germinate grape tomato and some wildflower seeds. It looks like lilac and viburnum cuttings are doing ok so far.

(That’s TristanSparrow on the lemon tree, btw ;)

#propagation

Few gardening pictures. First one has some cuttings that I struck tonight, from top Thymus sp. Ex. Turkey, Hylotelephium, Savoury and Sedum (Hispanicum or Acre not aureum). Second picture is to illustrate wire mesh that is necessary to prevent Squirrels and co nibbling fruit saplings. Sheffield Fruit Trees (who should establish a Fediverse presence IMO) said on Instagram that they were having Badger issues so having to upgrade barriers. #propagation #satureja #hylotelephium #sedum

Pokud máte #VR headset #Quest2 (a nejspíš i #Quest3), je možné přidat k němu více uživatelů a sdílet mezi nimi aplikace, ale už ne data oněch aplikací. Dává to celkem logiku, dokud to neuděláte třeba u Beat Saberu, kde jsou přikoupené písně data aplikace a sdílení je tak nepřenáší 😒.

Pokud máte dva různé typy #VR od Mety, s jedním účtem multiplayer nepustíte (ověřeno). Z hlediska principu připojení je to asi logické, ale přidáním dalšího účtu jste odkázáni pouze na základní písně, případně je asi musíte znovu koupit i pro nový účet (to jsem nezkoušel).

U Steamu je to podobné, tam dokonce musíte mít dva účty aby se vůbec spustil #SteamVR. I Steam umožňuje sdílení her mezi účty, ale nemůžete je pustit z obou účtů současně, takže ty, co chcete hrát v multiplayeru musíte mít koupené / získané pro každý účet zvlášť.

Propagation so-so, but Atlantic 2000 Radio should be well audible here on Saturday

Radio Atlantic 2000 International is scheduled to transmit on 6070 and 9670 kHz (via Channel 292 in Rohrbach, Germany) on Saturday, April 11, from 08:00 to 09:00 UTC.

6070 kHz should be of at least some use in my place (northwestern Germany), while the 9670 kHz often doesn’t come in well here, possibly because Rohrbach isn’t far enough from here.

The KP index is said to be no problem, currently. On the other hand, the solar flux doesn’t seem to offer too many opportunities this weekend.

I might give DX a try anyway, but safer bets like Atlantic 2000 look like a nice consolation prize on the radio dial, if little else works.

Enjoy your weekend!

I was reminded that maybe it's time for a peperomia update. They have progressed a lot in the last month!

#peperomia #plants #propagation #jars

Due to a water damage on the groundfloor, my setup for #propagation is a bit more improvised this year.
The stack with euroboxes in the utility room is for germination.
Germinated plants are moved under LED growlights inside or into the greenhouse.
Since we still have down to -10°C 14F in the night, there are heat mats set to keep the reused mushroom punnets with seedlings above 3°C.
Plants without need for heating will move to the wallpaper table.

My peperomia clones are v slowly growing. Look at those cute little leaves! Maybe they will take off when it gets warm again.

"#LandcareAustralia is proud to partner with #PointPearceAboriginalCorporation in establishing a First Nations community-led conservation and education project. Located in South #Australia’s Point Pearce in the #WardangIsland #IndigenousProtectedArea (IPA), the project is led by the #TraditionalOwners, the #Narungga people, and aims to support #Indigenous youth to learn about their Cultural heritage and knowledge that will lead to career and leadership pathways in #EnvironmentalConservation. 


At the heart of this initiative is the Point Pearce First Nations Culture Garden, a space where #Elders, #FirstNationsRangers, and #IndigenousYouth come together to bridge and transfer #CulturalKnowledge. Designed as a hands-on learning environment, it will inspire young people to explore environmental conservation, deepen their appreciation for the natural world and discover career pathways that utilise Cultural knowledge. 


The Culture Garden will feature a #medicinal and #ceremonial plant area, #NativeBushFoods, water features to attract #wildlife, #SensoryGarden, and dedicated spaces for learning and Cultural practice. With a #seedling #propagation zone, a #NativeSeed cleaning station, a fruit and nut #orchard, and interpretive walking trail. More than just a garden, it serves as a ‘cultural learning hub’—fostering pride and offering a comprehensive setting for community events, educational programs, and vocational training opportunities. With funding from #OneTreePlanted, the tree planting will also help #restore #NativeVegetation and improve habitat for threatened species including the Southern Hairy-nosed #Wombat. 


Aligned with the South Australian Department for Education’s Aboriginal Education Strategy, the project aims to inspire engagement, Cultural pride, and environmental responsibility among First Nations students. It focuses on educational outcomes and how Cultural activities can play in enhancing social and academic competence among First Nations students."

#NewZealand (#Aotearoa) - #NativePlants - an introduction to #SeedCollection, #propagation and on-farm nurseries

Excerpt: "Collecting seeds

A common method of sourcing seeds is called #EcoSourcing. Eco-sourcing seeds refers to collecting seeds from native plants that are already established in your area. This allows you to grow plants that have adapted to, and are suited to, your local #climatic conditions, and therefore your plants are more likely to survive.

Some considerations for eco-sourcing, as identified by the Department of Conservation, include:

- planting species that you know to be native to the local area
- collecting seed from as close to your restoration area as possible
- collecting seed from a similar ecosystem/environment to that to which you are restoring
- trying to collect your seeds from plants that are natively occurring rather than those that have been planted

While eco-sourcing is a great habit to get into, there is also nothing wrong with introducing new species into your restoration areas. Some considerations for this would include:

- is this species likely to be able to survive in this environment?
- is this species and its characteristics suitable? Is this the right plant for this particular planting site?

When it comes to collecting seeds from plants, late-Summer to Autumn is most commonly the time when seeds are ready for collection due to drying off/berries ripening etc. However, the timing of seeds being ready to collect is species dependent.

The Department of Conservation has created calendars and guides for seed collection for some common native #tree species, as well as #grasses, #sedges and #flaxes, which can be accessed by the links below."
