Do we have gardeners of any persuasion?

I am a gardener of questionable skill.

@McFansy What kinds of plants do you handle, what do you do?

garden beds mostly perennials

planted some fruit trees last spring

Nice. I have a wild peach tree that sprouted in our garden 10 years ago or so, its the only one thats actually disease resistant and produces a lot of fruit, Im looking to propagate it this year and replace the 3 or 4 other trees (that we bought) with it. Also want to propagate a plum tree that produces large fruit with great taste, tastes somewhat like oranges. I will try to air-layer it.
Im trying to start some bonsai too, will go out and collect some young hawthorns for that later

Nice

bonzai is pretty zen, pun intended

good for someone who doesn't have much land to plant on/is restricted indoors

I dont know much about zen philosophy but Im not uninterested in it. Bonsai is cool because it allows you to capture the beauty of trees, forests and landscapes, and its relaxing to work on. Its living art.
Youre right in that they allow ppl with small or no gardens to dabble in gardening, which is especially true in Japan. But in the west people have larger gardens and many people make larger bonsai too. The ones I just started which are conker trees will be above 1,50 meters tall at their final hight I think, which is necessary because of that species´ thick twigs and large leaves, and I also want them to flower heavily if possible.
But I will also start a hawthorn or dwarf-pomegranate landscape/forest, which might be the size of a dinner plate in height and width.

zen is gay

why

WEEEEEEEEEEEB

I've been listening to shortwave for a while. Ham might be useful in the future.

You have to get a license. But the process is apparantly very easy. Id recommended looking for a local Ham radio club/group on Facebook. They're always happy to have new members. They'll set you up for success when it comes to training and licensing.

Anyone play guitar? I've been using a public guitar and the strings are really eating up my fingers even on my strumming hand. Waaay worst than any other guitar ive used.

Is it possible they used some sort of cleaning product on them and that made the strings more abrasive?

Maybe talc or the compound used on strings of the violin? Other then that you can always use a pick.

Any Track & Field people here?

what even is that

Ya know, track? 100M dash, 200M dash, 400M dash, 800M run, relays, long jump, pole vault, high jump, shotput, discus, hammer throw, all that?

I wasnt sure but yeah i know that

not my hobby though

Running’s just my thing, but sadly the COVID-19 outbreak is screwing up my season.

But you can still run right just not compete?

Yeah meets are cancelled.

I go for a run every now and then but I've only started like 3 months ago so I am not that fast.

I’m mostly a 400/800M runner but my 5K is decent.

@ItzMidrex can you run to the store and get me some TP

They’re all out

what about paper towels

All gone

what about vodka

I’d have to check but I’m not 21 can’t buy it.

Had to go outside, can’t pass up a nice day like this.

No it’s ‘Murica trust me it’s a lot more green when the warm weather comes and stays the snow just melted recently.
