Looks spectacular Don.

hay kiwi ,
much thanks man ,
well pretty flowers , running water ,,
good vibes , what more do we need ??

just getting prepared for more planting ,
its a 50/50 chance thing i think ,
but im keen to roll the dice rather than kick myself later for missed opportunities ...
im hoping the monsoon finishes as it should at the end of march ,
and theres no further south easterlies to bring in highland drizzle ,
it happens often , so im game to chance it ..

dang ironlung ,, if only .
that guys a legend ,, and not too bad of a photgrapher ,, lol
those that dont know him
Ansel Adams - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

and look at that for a photo ..

Just a small picture less update , they will come soon ..

darn hot out there , really hot and humid in the fields

so ive weeded , dug out the trenches onto nice mounds ,
and planted on them ,
bit of mulch on top , not enough for all though by the looks ..

the young ens are loving it so far , and i expect will perform well if the weather we are getting continues ..

didnt want to take any pics till its looking good again ,, bit of a mess till ive finished planting ...

ohh the new area the i direct sowed ,,
has grown back ,, well at least a third of it ,
saves on planting i guess ...
quite a few nice reveged plants around that look to be nice bud ...

Hi Mr. D...

I hope all is well. Time for a siesta in the cool part of the day .

When you have a second, I would love to hear your observations on direct sowed seeds to cuttings. For example is yield better or quality, or is it just a matter of a little less labour in early stages?

As always, very interested and humbled by your insight.

One day Mr Mallard it will be all sunshine...

Respect brother,

CM

ohhh hey chana , think ill have to get a fair bit older for daytime siestas ,
just cant get into it ..

The clone vs seed is an easy one ,
i dont use clone s at all out there ,
just not viable without being able to give extra lighting to extend days ,
max day length is 13 hrs ..
I have done them before , but i wayyyy prefer the vigour of seed ...

Mate, love those siestas at 33. I guess it is the latino in me. When I was in Thailand, I was living in a little village for a few months and the men would break away from everyone to do some hunting, fishing, smoking and such. The last part of the leg was spent finding a little nest and blacking out for a snooz. Waking up and going for a dip in the nearby water fall was most invigorating.

Thanks for the thought. I figured it was not to hard pressing but the lighting makes sense, vigor too. I would love to flower a plant in one place, start to finish and not mess with its root system.

One,

CM

Us guys are pretty basic arent we ,,
quite happy with the few pleasures we can get ,
pretty lucky i think ,
the more complex we become the harder it is to get happiness imho ...

bit of fun ...

i purchased a brand new rake the other day ,, marvelled at how solid the timber handle was ,,, stood on it yesterday and found out how solid it really is ,, on the nose ..
nearly knocked me out , and think its broken my nose ,, lol ....
