Outdoor Jraven's Alaska Summer 2019

[Another One Bites the Dust1]

Got me excited friend.
I did seed two monk girls, monk x monk and leb x monk , the monk is loaded with seed but the leb x one is not so obviously preggers. I'm pretty sure I'll find some seed in there.

Cool on the Monk! I am sure that you will grow her along with xes you make for the rest of your days.

Yea, sure the Leb x Monk seeds are buried in there. Could be some of those tiny seeds as well. Sure that you will get enough to make some F2s with.
Happened to me last season with Mighty Mite x Aof, thus F2s being made right now.
Also (AoF x Royal Dane) x Mighty Mite x Aof.
I think these might be iffy for you two though.

is the Royal Dane line itself of interest here you think? The catalog copy sounds good, they may have been out of stock when I made my order.

From Gary Snyders translation of Han Shans Cold Mountain Poems

In a tangle of cliffs, I chose a place -
Bird paths, but no trails for me.
What's beyond the yard?
White clouds clinging to vague rocks.
Now I've lived here - how many years -
Again and again, spring and winter pass.
Go tell families with silverware and cars
"What's the use of all that noise and money?"

 

[Jraven]

I wanted a good place to settle:
Cold Mountain would be safe.
Light wind in a hidden pine -
Listen close - the sound gets better.
Under it a gray haired man
Mumbles along reading Huang and Lao.
For ten years I havn't gone back home
I've even forgotten the way by which I came.

It's raining pretty good this morning, went to the garden to take a picture of the Monk with its feet in the kale bed. It's got a moldy branch I need to clip but mostly pretty nice considering the circumstances

View attachment 1088942 garden skiff heavy on the kale but other good stuff too:smoking: I can see one of these filled with Monks might be fun

retired boat sails with garden treasure!
All good.....considering the circumstances
Most folks are unaware of how moldy the far northern fall is.

Lol me too...
We can have both though...got more dead skiffs laying around

Here's the Z6 x Erdebei that's been getting outside the greenhouse during the day. Today has been a cool rainy one.View attachment 1089183

Here's the smaller one that's staying in. Fewer buds but farther along

I think I misidentified this plant in the kale patch as a Monk but by the look and smell it has to be Leb27. Forgot to mark it

I like it!

Yeah, me too. I discovered this stuff at an impressionable age and it twisted my mind in a certain way hehe...I just discovered a site with all of it so will probably quote some more!

Yep pardner the danes really brighten the place up. I can't help thinking they'd be worth a try there...I've had a couple Lebs finish already. But heck you are finding plenty of stuff that works for you

and dude, you wouldn't believe how much light we still have, last night rainy, to boat @11:30 and bail, plenty of light to do anything. By the time we get photo friendly game over.
Still at least 15 hrs light. The loss of light beginning to accelerate the further from solstice we travel.
