Cool. I think I’ll have all of that.

Long story short, I’m trying to do “The ABC’s of Pittsburgh Coffee”, an alphabetical tour of Pittsburgh coffee shops. I’ve reached the first letter that I’m drawing a blank with: Q. Does anyone know of a cafe that starts with Q?
I don’t have any qualms about cafes outside city limits or even in neighboring counties!

Sunflower seeds are about 6 mm to 10 mm in length and feature conical shape with a smooth surface. Their black outer coat (hull) encloses single, gray-white edible-kernel inside. Each sunflower head may hold several hundreds of edible oil seeds.

It was really clean and pretty cute interior-wise too. Rooftop was closed for the season though. From what I saw, there was only valet parking, but there’s a ton of street parking in the area if you look around enough, which is what we did. And yes, noodlehead is always a great time! Try their street noodle #1: the fried chicken pieces are unreal

Let's see. I've got seeds of:
white wood-aster (Eurybia divaricata), devil's beggarticks (Bidens frondosa), wingstem (Verbesina alternifolia), showy goldenrod (Solidago speciosa), rough goldenrod (Solidago rugosa), lance-leaved American-aster (Symphyotrichum lanceolatum), heart-leaved American-aster (Symphyotrichum cordifolium), bushy American-aster (Symphyotrichum dumosum, calico American-aster (Symphyotrichum lateriflorum), dogbane (Apocynum sp.), common milkweed (Asclepias syriaca), sunflower-everlasting (Heliopsis sp.), sunflower (Helianthus sp.), ironweed (Vernonia), and little bluestem (Schizachyrium scoparium).
I'm gonna keep collecting seeds over the years and add to this mix, but this is a good start :)

I’d love some plants! Tomatoes and herbs (basil, cilantro, and thyme would be great), please.
I am in the middle of moving, so I don’t think I’ll have time to start seeds of my own. However, I have a tons of native plant seeds. If you (or anyone else in this thread) want some, let me know,

You mean developing videos that have my name in them and how much my bill changed month over month is a huge waste of money and potentially lead to someone being fired, nooooooo way

Just looked at TRYP hotel. It seems nice and pretty reasonably priced. Is there a garage or anything for parking? If so, do you know how much it is?
Thanks for those food recommendations! I’ll definitely look in to those. Noodle head sounds like a good time!!

It's not a secret hookup or anything, it's just a chain grocery store for primarily Indian/East Asian food/culture. The stuff you pay exorbitant prices for at GE are cheap there.
Don't go hungry.

I have forty-some milk jugs planted up winter sowing cold stratifying native plants for my pollinator gardens and a few with cool season greens. We always do a few weird tomatoes, shishito peppers, squashes, greens. Last year we grew a lot of African and middle eastern greens in the high heat season which was fun! Also fun: purple potatoes in grow bags. Adding blueberries this year (finally!), kiwiberry, American plum, and a third pear tree we hope to espalier in the Belgian fence pattern. We're going to put groundnut apios Americana in a bin and try sunchokes a friend saved. I am trying to choke out knotweed across the street with pumpkins. I'm always trying something!!

Hmm, I wish I knew some good Mexican places, but can’t name any that I’ve particularly loved. I’ll list my faves: noodle head for Thai ($12.50 noodles and BYOB), cafe moulin for brunch/crepes, selamis kebab house or pasha for Mediterranean. I haven’t been to point Brugge but I’ve heard great things about their burgers

I’ll look in to that hotel. As far as cuisine, we’re easy to pleasey. Big fan of Mexican food but nothing is out of the realm of possibilities. We might just want a really good burger or good pub food on Saturday night.

I have plenty of chives, garlic chives, tarragon, oregano, thyme, and probably some mints I can share when things green up in the spring!

As someone who lives next to an Airbnb, the neighbors already hate you. Help keep housing costs down and stay in a hotel

I'm taking over an abandoned garden, starting off with a cover crop and straw.
