    Light hours indoors before going out to avoid flower early

    "To be a good gardener, one must listen to the plants and understand their means of communication. I was also told this; To excel at the art of growing true, one must be willing to set fire to money"

    Light hours indoors before going out to avoid flower early

    I could explain my method but it had to involve forces unseen and a wee bit of moon spells and songs, some shade contraptions, crystals, and a whole bunch of anxiety provoking bewilderment leading to answers born of places the light inhabits within the dark. In other words, I had a bit of dumb...

    Light hours indoors before going out to avoid flower early

    Every response is spot on. I had baby clones that had to try and adapt from 24 hours of light (commercial) to my humble garden out of doors. I had more than just that one challenge to figure out...well, several things went wack-a-doodle and I lost one that was going terribly wrong. I think this...

    That is the misty water spheres which dried in a soft breeze. Plus I made a shower cap. 🌝

    Thank you. I keep the ones that are misshapen or perfectly homegrown for my own use. The beauties go to the places they need to be. That box was a swiffer pad box that worked out perfectly for my buddy Mr. G. Some of the baskets are quite cute, some are Mr. G. style. such fun

    A plant in a pot under the sky

    As Willow grows, I am faced with the inevitable threat that a flower filled yard will bring. I gave a good look and indeed an attack has occurred here in her protective grove. So, I must address the insects by deadheading and clearing flower beds and begin to spray. I have such reservation in...

    A plant in a pot under the sky

    This is truly what life is all about. A gift. I work in a very small kitchen, but I also tend to go big and stock freezer and give meals out. Many of my tribe are Elders and I have to schedule enough time to make it a proper visit. A nice chat on the porch does not suffice. Listen to your...

    A plant in a pot under the sky

    Little droplets of the gentle mist gathered before I fashioned this lovely shower cap. Willow is stretching out, so I gave her a larger support system in the process. You folks make me smile. I appreciate your advice and concern more than I can express.

    Back to the task at hand. A day of kitchen duty is always a nice diversion and many meals will benefit many hungry souls. Today brings some much needed moisture to us. It also brings first flowers without any big panic on my part. I may fashion a shower cap if this tropical influence decides...

    It is a serious endeavor, but we work through the steps to honor the gifts. Another gift was the ground beef from a friend who loves his cows. Not in a way that says delicious...he seriously is the most loving humane person I know in that line of work. And so a marriage of time and friendship...

    Rabbits, dogs, crazy scrub jays...It's a deterrent cage and I can use it for support when she flowers. Little Willow will stay there in her faded green house in the little corner of the patio until we can collect the gifts she has. I feel like these auto-flowers are less heat tolerant and just...

    A plant in a pot under the sky

    I became aware of an issue within the garden community. Whispers of an unhappy member who was too shy to complain. "Her name is Willow!" ... sigh... came in loud and clear from the others. I have accepted my blunder. We've put the whole mistaken identity thing into the past and we had a...

    I'm trying some training on Wanda. She seems to have a natural double top and maybe I can optimize her potential. Don't know.

    Thank you all for such kind responses to Lucy and Ethel. They became very important to those needing a bit of moon magic. The girlies were a first time experiment with living soil and minimal fertilizers. I studied everything I could find. Made some weird teas, sang songs, generally had fun...
