I can root you 2 and send them this time if you’d like. It’s still hot enough out here. And how in the…do you kill a geranium? 
Don’t worry I can’t grow chives to save my life or snapdragons for some damn reason

better wait on better weather and you got plenty to do for now… How are the cuttings doing? Any luck rooting or you need more 
edit: think I had some help with that one and it got overwatered.

Cuz they loveses you! 
From what I can tell, they are fine! I didn’t dig in the dirt to see if they have roots, but they are still alive and I water them every once in awhile. Succulents take awhile before they do much, as you know. I’m assuming they have rooted in by now. I’ll let you know if I see them grow or change or get something new on them. I’m interested to see what happens when they do take off.
Aww! Thanks! That’s nice of you! I wish I was that good. I ramble too much and my comma usage really sucks. I’m not a writer, I’m a number cruncher. When it comes to anything plant related though, I will talk your ear off. I’m just really passionate about gardening, so I always seem to have something to say about it.

Almost forgot to comment on this… Great info!
The one crazy thing though is they recommend 8 - 12 inches of mulch? Holy crap! Does anyone actually use that deep of mulch? I don’t even think my bulbs would make it through that. That seems pretty excessive!

So looks like the rain is gonna stay away , went from rain on the 9th to 20% chance on the 10th and 11th,
God dam catapillars everywhere this year. I’m pulling like 10 + babys a day l glad to find them before they do much damage but it’s unsettling knowing you missed some and there out there eating your work. Got me out here three times a day on the hunt and I’m to busy for this. I’m highly considering building a frame and wrapping it in mosquito netting to keep the egg layers away. I dont like to spray anything on them once in flower even BT and these showed up late.

We are having a heat wave, started Tuesday and is supposed to end on Sunday. It was 101 at my client’s today and 90 at my house. I’d rather have rain! Even with my bud rot. It’s already there, so at least cool down already and be fall. As far back as I remember, we have had heat wave September. It’s horrible.
Condolences on your pillars. ((hugs)) I feel your pain

I’d say 4” would probably suffice that seems like a ridiculous amounts you’d probably need 2 trucks dumping that much wood if you were going with 8-12”

The worst part about the pillars (aside from the obvious) is they won’t even eat your bud and then turn into a big gorgeous butterfly. They’ll turn into a gross little pesky moth. They have already stabbed you, but this is like twisting the knife too.
Every time I mention them out loud or write it down, I have to end it with a sick and twisted giggle, literally aloud. If I didn’t I’d probably cry.

It’s funny, I deal with money on a daily basis and I see more greed than generosity. Sorry to say. In all honestly, I don’t care for money much, except as a means to an end. I work to live, I don’t live to work.
But damn it, if I were wealthy I would build one of those bad ass glass gothic greenhouses with temperature, and humidity controls, crazy bad ass irrigation system, the whole nine yards. That to me would be like hitting the lottery. lol A girl can have stoner pipe dreams right?

Couldn’t agree w u more about money, yes I need it to survive pay bills and such. It does crazy things to ppl. Hopefully you will get ur badass greenhouse someday. I just want a cabin in the middle of nowhere so I can grow outside someday will prob need a greenhouse too those pillars sounds like a never ending battle

Well, got maybe half of the Orange Goji in the end. Haha I don’t have a scale so here it is probably a tad more than 4 gallons of wet trimmed bud.
Man, I am about as tired and grumpy as all get out right now. My boyfriend is on his way just getting done with work. I’m leaving all to him to pretty up in the bud trimmer, rack it and clean all the mess up. I’m going to nap

I planned to get the Cackleberry down tmw. Unfortunately don’t think I quite have room yet. Still need a couple more days of drying on bruce and the blue dream. Gdp and spectral tangerine went in to cure last night.

OMG! I’m so exhausted and I can’t sleep now cuz I kinda let Dad have it today. Mind you it was hour 7 of trimming, but I kind of lost it. There was no yelling or screaming or anything (just not how I roll), but I got pretty animated. The worst part is I feel terrible, but he really should be apologizing to me.
So it started with me telling him about the hail or mosquito netting and saying that we really need to look into it for next year for pillar control. He says… What?? No way, by the time harvest comes it’s gonna take me forever to untangle it off the plants to cut them down. That was when I lost it.
I’m like excuse me??? So you don’t want me to do it because it will take you an extra half hour per plant come harvest time? Do you have any idea how much work it takes to grow those mf plants, I say. So I start going down the very long 6 month list of what it takes for me to grow them… digging, tilling, weeding, amending, planting, transplanting, feeding, soil drenches, foliars and not to mention a minimum of 9 hours a week in the Summer to just water them etc…, so the caterpillars can take part of them out even with the weekly war I wage on them?
Anyway, at this point, I am infuriated in my head wanting to jump over the table and strangle him. Of course, I didn’t. Two hours later though, I still bitching at him in my head like “Oh, so you want some of what’s left of half-ass weed instead of this top shelf homegrown? Well, I can grow that. I’ve got 20 bucks, I can just go grab some cheap ass bag soil and some Miracle Gro from Home depot real quick and grow you some shitty ass dope.”
I’m tired and I suck. Looking back I’m sure if it wasn’t the 7th hour, I would have handled that much more eloquently. Dad is a reasonable and intelligent guy. I’m sure if it wasn’t the 7th hour for his 70 year old self, he would have handled that differently too. Regardless, it hurt me to be so angry at him. I’m sure you’ve all figured out by now just how close to me and important that Man is to me. I want to call and apologize, but in reality, he was wrong and really selfish in that moment.

I do this quite often with mine, ad while I do feel bad later (it does sometimes get heated) It is a bit easier as he never remembers it later.
