Testing,
it's a tough job;
but somebody's gotta do it--
less than two months to first planting...

 

[Seamaiden]

You poor thing! I bet you need a break.

 

[geologic]

They be just startin' to get good--
wish I had room for twice as many plants...

Anybody have any interesting mutations???

The above illustrations were drawn in 1980
from observations made throughout the '70s.
...
The examples 3, 4, and 5; labled "Tri-Axial", "Tetra-Axial", and Pent-Axial
are actually all plants exhibiting Whorled Phyllotaxy: TriWhorl, QuadWhorl, and <WhateverWhorl>.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phyllotaxis

Edit: quoted that mainly for the image but doesn't show in quote so:

As you know I had a few quads... or Tetrawhorled [I think that actually works better than quads because well, as your <WhateverWhorl>, not sure what comes after quad that would work better than following tri, tetra and thus penta] like this one:

But one node higher it's pentawhorled, my first (which exception of the fasciated)

Way cool...

Why don't you arrest me
Throw me in the jail house
Lord, until the sun go down"...

I barely made it thru last season,
and this season got off to a rough start:
with 8 torturous hours in the emergency room two weeks ago,
but I'm gettin' it together now;
gonna have to cut the workload and go with 2/3 less plants--
so I've been agonizing over what (not) to plant...

with 8 torturous hours in the emergency room two weeks ago,

Oh no! I'm so sorry, but am glad you're here posting now. Back in November/December I ended up spending more time in the ER and hospital than I ever wanted to in my entire lifetime.

Now that my 'game' is changing, I've gotta learn how to grow like you've been doing it. :o

 

[geologic]

Luckily,
I wasn't sentenced to the hospital;
if ida ended-up there--
I'd probably be losing my house in a year or so...

I've wanted to try raised beds and smart pots,
but sinking the plants in the ground makes 'em appear smaller--
by a foot or two...

Save the whale--
Heh...
-------------------
I got a pleasant surprise the other day:
My friend, OldTaper, who has observed this whole process for 30 years:
picking a few males and pollinating all the females,
and then taste-testing all the females for favorites before next planting--
rinse lather repeat...
...OldTaper was listening to The Dead while out walking,
and had an epiphany:
Stella Blue is about my garden--
from the very first verse...

All the years combine
they melt into a dream
A broken angel sings
from a guitar
In the end there's just a song
comes crying like the wind
through all the broken dreams
and vanished years
Stella Blue

It all rolls into one
and nothing comes for free
There's nothing you can hold
for very long
And when you hear that song
come crying like the wind
it seems like all this life
was just a dream
Stella Blue

That's a great song man.

 

[geologic]

I always post too soon;
"Save the wale" shoudda been
"Save The Wail"...

 

[geologic]

Had a delivery over the weekend from, ah--
on high...

...and the "tentative/mutable 2016 Garden Plot Map"--
done mutated...

 

[geologic]

Instead of removing aphids from the mini-rose;
I moved the mini-rose to the garden--
food for the predators...

Volunteer--
and seedling...

Mighty swell, mighty swell--
that's how some (stoned folks) heard the song "Might As Well"...
...around 1987 my (eventual lawyer step-son)
came home from school and said:
"I heard a Grateful Dead song on the radio,
it was about economics";
took a while to figure-out he was talking about--
"Estimated Prophet" Heh...

"California, a prophet on the burning shore
California, I'll be knocking on the golden door
Like an angel, standing in a shaft of light
Rising up to paradise, I know I'm gonna shine."

My wife makes those every holiday season(s):
that was the last of the organic cranberries from the freezer;
and the last of the canned organic pumpkin,
which can probably be had year-round now--
the times they are a changin'...

=========================

The three little clones I set out in the middle of the garden,
in growbags, are about ready to come down;
and I can smell 'em in the house at 3 AM,
never fed 'em anything--
all they had the whole time was water...

-------------------------------------------------------

It's really nice to discover that I can take a little clone,
grown under 24-hour lighting;
put it outside in <December/January???>
February, March, or mid-April;
and have it fully flower,
without having to do any light-dep work;
granted: it's not a big yield,
but it's gonna give me an my wife some fresh nugs--
during planting...

...the two new ones are just starting to flower now;
I really like the looks of the little one with the narrow leaves--
is that the one from Hawaii???

The cherry alien og is from Hawaii. The mellow mood #3 has the fatter leaves.
