Island Of Misfits

[Hippie420]

Well, I dunno... Some of the denizens here may not float...

Unca 'Splain Time:

Flotsam is stuff that is floating on the water surface from stuff voluntarily chucked overboard.

Jetsam is stuff that has been thrown overboard to lighten a ship/craft so it won't sink.

Miss. Trips. She will go into a 60+ year old terracotta pot I've been saving. It was my G maw's pot she had cacti growing in for years. Found it left behind in the 120+ old homestead house stolen by the state. (long story)

She won't be alone. Sandy Pedro and her pups will keep her company..... Will happily trade pups too.

What soil mix do you use?

I mix very old cow pies with sand. Cacti seem to love it.

To the exotic plant importer's dismay that gifted me "Cherrie", I use Miracle Gro Citrus, Palm, and Cactus potting soil on a bed of pea gravel, sitting on a screen covering the drain hole. I have been using Schultz Cactus Plus 2-7-7 food with the waterings.

I've also fed her Alaskan fish fertilizer, which she appeared to like and pumped out pups using, but switched after I was told that was all wrong.

The interesting thing is that she has forgiven me all my misstarts and foibles, as evidenced by her robust health and fecundity. Unless she is frightful of dying and trying to pump out as many offspring's as she can first....................

Have you seen the graft where they put a Williamsii button on the top of a St. Pedro for accelerated maturation and growth?

 

[Hippie420]

Forgive someone that's never eaten a button, but I was always told that it's the "skin" on the outside of the button that makes ya puke. Something about it being a strychnine like chemical. I was told to take a knife and peal 'em first.

I had a gal (remember the one that was going to take me with her to Woodstock?) bring me back two capsules of pure mescaline sulfate from her trip out west. Whoo, buddy.

And if I posted here, I'm proud to be one of you. Of course, since I've been very proper and goody all my life, some relatives would be shocked! I tell you shocked! that I hang out and enjoy this irreverent, fun loving, group.

And that agism stuff. I laugh as some members in other places talking about being old and not working with computers well. I don't usually tell them how old I am as I think I'm younger than the calendar says. I think most all of you are younger than the calendar also.

 

[WeedHopper]

We love you Angie and love having on this thread. And yes they are all a bunch of old *******s except me. Im young and very handsome. I know this because i pay my wife to say it all the time. Yeah i know she is lying but the money is good and she likes to go shopping.

 

[WeedHopper]

By the way, we are your family.

I don't feel as old as the calendar says...untill I get close to a mirror.

Working in the grow is done. Now I get the honor of cutting the grass.

Hockey tonight. What a country.

I've read about and watched many videos on grafting cacti. Just never had the pup stock to try it. Looks simple enough and hope in the future to get the chance.

I do need to uppot the pedro's. That's why I asked about the soil mix. Will see if I can find a bag. Good soil makes happy cacti. I'm guessing that's why yours are putting out the pups on mass. Good job!!!

The Homecoming carnival is in town, so tonight's supper will be corndogs, elephant ears, and some of the greasiest fries on the planet. Hate to guess what the cost is gonna be with the fuel prices cutting into their profits.
It's only once a year. I think my liver and heart will be OK.

 

[Hippie420]

I'm back. Had to shake my head at the size of the thing. Used to take close to an hour to walk around the thing. Took 10 minutes, and that's walking slow and stopping at the Fireman's raffle to donate $6 for a chance to win $5000. Totally lame as far as rides went. Talked the Old Hen into doing the bumper cars with me ($8), and grabbed three corndogs and some non typical carney fries. $18 for the dogs and $5 for the small fry.
Don't think I'll be going back next year. Just too disappointing. Been going to that carney since I was 6.
