How much does Lemmy compress uploaded pictures? Viewing it back on voyager it’s hard to see detail.

Imgur for comparison.

    That’s a gray area and what I’m worried, you can see most of my backyard from the hill coming down the street. So would need to be in a greenhouse, and I would want to grow year round, so someone will notice the light eventually…

    There’s also a large natural hill/escarpment that parallels the community.

    I tried potatoes on the deck, but the frost got them, and never start the watermelons or the pumpkins early enough, that’s my reminder to get them going this weekend! Thanks.

    Both better and worse than expected, so can’t complain for a trial run.

      What mountain is that in the background? I live in Illinois so my view, although gorgeous, is pretty heckin’ flat

        Oh man… that’s not a mountain, that’s just a hill for the valley I live in. It’s part of a provincial park though.

        I do have the Rockies a few hours to my west!

        My personal view of them, that hill is part of a dump, and should be taken down in the next few years giving me a little view back, and you can see the other side of the valley on the left, other picture would be turned 90 degree right from this image.

        Downtown and the mountains in the backround.

        Beautiful view man is that the greenhouse for the ladies?

          When there’s nothing but corn for miles around everything looks like a mountain 😂 that does kind of ruin it, being a dump. I know from experience how glacially slow governments move, hopefully they give you your view back.

          Canada is such a beautiful place. I had a great-uncle that farmed weed on Nova Scotia for decades, he had an ocean view that was absolutely gorgeous. The closest mountains to me are the Smokies, and that’s still like an 18 hour drive which sucks. Especially when the Boundary Waters/Quetico are only 9, it’s hard for me to vacation anywhere else. Last summer I illegally crossed the border to smoke a joint on Canadian soil, don’t tell the mounties 😂

          That is my greenhouse for the ladies! It’s just a little 8x10 I got on Amazon. It’s jank as fuck and needs serious modifications. I started 5 seeds next to my produce crops, so if they take off I’ll cull the unhealthy plants that I have now. Weed farming has kind of taken a back seat thanks to the move but I’m about to start in force. I’ve tilled my whole greenhouse by hand (every good notill bed starts with tillage, unintuitively) and yesterday I sowed my cover crop as well as some native prairie grasses in strategic places around the property. The nice thing about my indoor grow was how close to an outdoor grow it was- I already practiced regenerative agriculture techniques, now I just need to do it a little bigger! I’m planning on making a post about my whole setup soon but there’s still some work I have to do first.

            Hahaha that’s fair, we tend to take it for granted how close we are to the mountains. Banff is only an hour and a half from our door. On the dump, non-plussed was there when we bought, and it’s a commercial dump, so mainly safe construction garbage type materials. Theres a church that wants their land back, so it’s gonna get dealt with sooner than later I imagine.

            You more of a summer sport or winter sport person? Not many people are able to take day trips from their house to go snowboarding :D

            I think it’s customary for them to partake actually, it’s your own guys on the way back that’s the problem.

            I look forward to an update, enjoy the holidays growmie.
