I bet the petrichor is amazing there. That is one MASSIVE moth... imagine a few of those coming at you in the night!

Is that an Air Pant.....?......it is gorgeous.....

Been looking them up, pretty sure it's one of the Tillandsia varieties. Might order some if they'll tolerate my climate.

@Teetee You are right mate the smell is very strong and I love it . It is also a feeling you get when you have lots of plant life around you .

Grief-stricken wild MONKEY gives human friend a final kiss at funeral

Before his death, Peetambaram Rajan, 56, fed the wild grey langur every day with fruit and biscuits at his forest-side home in Sri Lanka. Mourners brought the monkey to his funeral.

And another week goes by and here we are at the end of week 9 , 2 days ago . @Tobe just watching now for the right amount of amber I like .

I enjoyed this grow very much , and made a couple of small mistakes with feeding but nothing I could not fix , Very happy with my soil but I will add a bit more - N - to it . The photos do not do it justice , side branching is bloody great the buds are firm and look like main colas , The yield will make me very happy , we will know soon . My sons will want to be very nice to me if they want some . :smoking:
@Mossy thank you for posting the clip it brought a tear to my eye . The garden ,

This next photo is of a - Asparagus plumosus Baker - it is the first time I was able to get a good photo as the slightest breeze the leaves move,

The Man Cave looks better by the day........I can Imagine you meditating there..........Green Always smells Good........

Last time I saw one it was an indoor house plant at my Grandmothers house....do I remember rightly it has some vicious spikes......?


The farmers are out in droves here prepping fields for winter crops....artichokes and broccoli.......they prep them dry coz the land is like quick sand when they are wet.

You can See where the tractors are by the dust cloud they kick up.....and by the smell......when they plough it smells like Patchouli oil.....sweet and spicey dust fills the air.......

Does nowt for the dust indoor...but hey..can't have it all......

My Freebies are germing now the heat has died down and the air is moist......I don't Think the tomatoes will survive in the bottom pot....it is rootbound.... ....but the dead/cut back mother plant has revegged.........

So hey ho...in the hands of the weather now........

Harvest time , end of week 10 @Tobe She is a bloody ripper this one mate , The side branches are as big as the main cola and the smell is divine and the Blackberry smell is very strong . I have her on 3 days at 20 c and 50 % humidity and then I will have her at 60 % humidity and 18 c for 7 days , I find this works good for me , The 1 mistake I made was a little bit light on the nutrients towards the end , but in saying that the buds are nice and firm and I should get just over 6 ounces off her . The good thing too is I found 3 more seeds

Here is the soft wire I use to bring the branches down .

Here is one of my next garden projects I am thinking Bromeliads and air plants . Hard wood off the forest floor

The round log weighs around 20 kg . Bloody heavy . @Mossy yes it has spikes , and I hope you have a good growing season , I can't wait till next year now that I can grow at work and have a prime spot to use , so I am organizing a fun comp -- biggest Tomato --
