I just read a great article by D,J,Short. It brought back memories of seeds that wouldn't sprout and the use of incandescent lite. However, it also reminded me of our first skunk plant. It was 1976 we had gotten some seeds from a hippy at the local truck stop, a lot of them! We threw the first crop down at the edge of a vineyard near our house. At 3 feet tall they were green and beautiful. We cut'em down, dried' em out, and smoked'em. The headache soon followed. We promptly consulted our 17 year old neighbor Joe. At 17 Joe had a car, a girlfriend, and seemed to be the bastion of all knowledge.(especially weed stuff) He sat us down and explained that to get skunk weed we were going to have to" plant further out so that Skunks could spray them." Well, we were growing up in California near the junction where the Sacramento River met The San Joaquin and formed the fertile delta. So in May of 1977, near the base of the Antioch bridge; A.K.A. "Bridghead" we planted a plethora of seeds in the bushes near the power plant. Those bushes had automatic sprinklers. We mostly used them to play army in and we knew they were full of skunks. Well, wouldn't ya know; we let 'em go, and go, and go! Sure enough, Joe was right after all. We had some bitch 'en skunk!
