@rowyn i suspect victory will get to stop panicking about having lost valor quite soon!

@kamikat according to prariemoon.com cardinal flower and columbine are 60 day cold stratification—if you look up when your expected last frost date is and then count back two months back from that it should give you an idea on when the latest you can sow is but i wouldn’t expect these seeds to need any pre-treatment in the fridge

coneflowers don’t require cold stratification or any other kind of pre-treatment—I would wait until it is solidly winter to plant them because if you put them down now you risk them sprouting immediately. so either plant them midwinter at the same time as your other two seeds or in the spring

@kamikat what seeds are you planning to plant? if they only need 30-60 days of cold weather i would probably just wait and sow in November or December (I have gotten successful germinations on 30 day plants sowing as late as January, and it seems like you’re in a colder climate than me if you’re already past your frost date)

If they need 90+ I would probably stick them in the fridge or freezer (which depends on the seed) until the nightly lows have gotten properly chilly

On the other hand, while is a definite risk of seeds rotting/moulding or just getting eaten by squirrels and such if you sow too early obviously nature doesn’t have anywhere to put the seeds except outside and most plants do manage to reproduce just fine that way, so. If you’ve got a generous amount of seeds and want to just go for it it may just work out regardless

@apprendere ah i see! EDS is genetic so if bendiness and joint issues run in the family its a likely explanation, but if you aren’t having too many problems probably not worth the effort of pursuing further

(also one of those weird situations where its possibly to have the gene but be technically “sub clinical” because diagnoses is based on symptoms)

@hoja i also thought that one ad that used (fake?) car racing dudes was probably not ai but definitely terrible but i didn’t actually complain about that one out loud

@hoja untrue i wanted to murder the liberty mutual puppet without claiming it was ai

@rowyn very funny reversal from last night where valor was like “in retrospect i handled things terribly while zhenshay seems to like you” and now he’s handling things relatively well while victory has almost attacked their host

@lookitmychicken sounds like a fun adventure!

@bright_helpings congrats on winning game one!

@kate i will slash the mayors tires also

@apprendere are we EDS buddies or is there a second chronic rib dislocation disease?

@kate there should be a law that says you’re allowed to slash the tires of illegally parked cop cars specifically

@apprendere happy birthday! apple cinnamon rolls sound like a delicious way to celebrate (also, now I want cinnamon rolls…)

@rowyn a good question, even if getting a direct answer is difficult

@ryfulets alas you will just have to valiantly write your own fic until next year

@ryfulets in my heart they’ll get all sorudetu with it
