Hello Friends,

I got some time to snag a few random photographs while working and I have been waiting on my nursery pots to dry for transplants into there new home on most of my BOX plants. WOOT :D

If anyone has any clues what they are feel free to chime in. Just thought they made nice photographs in the woods behind my home. :) I thought about going NOM NOM some of these random shots, but I am always paranoid of poisoning myself somehow. LOL Eat wild plants safely folks. :D

Here is some Random Logs with Big Wild Mushrooms Growing on them. I tried snagging photographs of the mushrooms higher in the tree's but my camera is not the best. :D

Here is another huge one I found.

Another Angle :)

Granny Smith Apple Tree From Nursery
Better Organix

Pro-Mix Recycle Media

Ole granny haven't had to do much watering while she is rooting hard due to mother nature and crazy storms etc. I want her to stretch those root legs. She did receive a watering directly after this photograph with some rain water and Bio-Hydrate with Root Better stirred in. Since she is rooting hard now and I received this plant in shit health I want to make sure I get that beneficial fungi attached to new roots. :D

As you can see she doesn't give a shit about it being roughly 100 F with 60% RH.. She is still happy and praying even with a drier nursery pot. She going to explode even more after this watering and she survived the random major storms we had that took tree's down. :)

Here is another angle of the new growth. I have been doing cleanup around the homestead and work so haven't got to spend any time with the plants practically. All are doing great and getting there watering s and transplants into next week based on time schedule. :)

Needless to say doesn't take long to make you sweat and make sure to stay hydrated if working outdoors. :)

Here's a photo of what I believe is ants farming/harvesting some other type of bug that has invaded the lower leaves of my sunflowers. I first noticed it last month and they have about 100 leaves where they are farming. It seems that once the bug is large enough, they are brought back to the nest and made into a soup.

Sweetheart Cherry Tree From Nursery
Better Organix

Pro-Mix Recycled Media

It received some rip and tears from the high winds, but she held strong. I am seeing the occasional bug here and there but no major pest issues. I haven't had to spray with Neem or any pesticide since initial application in past. I am loving seeing some beneficial insects killing leaf hoppers etc. :)

As you can see this once dormant girl is exploding and she received the same watering as my other tree's with Root Better and Bio-Hydrate.

Here is a great angle to show how big and healthy the fan leaves are. She is really kicking into high gear now with those roots spreading and in new growth.

Some of my training as you can see with pipe cleaners. You can see how the plant adjusted from a once vertical branch. Train them young friends if you want a beautiful canopy and healthy harvest for families to come. :)

New growth is exploding everywhere I suspect we will have some amazing photographs in next year journal with some beautiful Fruit Tree's. :D

Close up for some of my followers of the new growth. :)

We going to have some cherries next year friends. I sure hope so. :D

Do you have a cherry tree to pollinate that one? You may need to get the same variety but not positive.....Looking good and healthy though.

Maybe Aphids?

Ants are known to raise aphids on sunflowers. Hmm interesting and thanks for sharing. I am not sure just offering an opinion and cannot tell by the photograph. :)

From My Research

Ants are attracted to aphids because of a sticky, sweet substance they produce when feeding, called honeydew. Honeydew isn't the sole food source for ants, but when an aphid colony is in the area, the ants can harvest this nutrient-rich substance continually with less labor than what is required to constantly locate new food sources. Because of this, ants protect aphid colonies ferociously, warding off pests and parasites, as well as helping the immobile aphids multiply by spreading them out on infested sunflowers.

Is that a kiwi? It kinda looks like one but I've never grown them so not sure. I do think they are a vine plant though. :D

Thanks for the kind words. :)

This particular version is a self fruiting. In future photographs for the journal I will be adding in more Cherry tree's etc. Building up my fruit trees as finances allow. :) Thanks for looking out and I hope to have more Fruit Tree's by the time these start flowering to help with pollination. I will keep everyone updated of course of new additions and my growing journey. :D

Really cool! Good training for jeopardy.:) They definitely don't like me getting close.

Celeste Fig Tree From Nursery
Better Organix

Pro-Mix Recycled Media

Well after the Low Stress Training with pipe cleaners she is starting to fill in very fast. Lots of new growth and super happy girl even through the current weather conditions. :D

As you can see her fan leaves are happy and lush. Loving the feel of them also. I cannot wait till she fruits next year hopefully and we can see how big she is. :D

Another Angle of the initial main stems before training and promoting new growth. :) Very Lush Girl and Praying even with a drier nursery pot.

Hope everyone's gardens are doing well and please feel free to share any photographs. I haven't been able to be online as much due to work load, but I will be catching up on all my friends journals soon. :D
