Absolutely! My man can truly be one of the most thoughtful beings on the planet. Don’t worry, I’m as sappy as they come, especially after Sunday after telling him that I was so worried about Dad. His Dad died when he was 10, so I know he enjoys learning things from Dad and the projects, even though they both bitch and moan a bit about the hard work.

We just added on to the trellises so we could enclose it to add a giant net to keep the bugs out. The trellises are just the bottom half. You’ll see once the net is up and I take a pic from inside on Sunday. It will look like a giant screened in box when we are done with the trellises inside.
LOVE the flowers!

They smell really skunky to me. What does it smell like to you?

I agree there is a slight skunk smell to the orange goji even after the cure you can notice it.

very skunky, almost oniony. It is funny how weed can smell like one thing when it is growing, and smell differently when it is cured, and often the smells have nothing to do with the taste

Haha right? I got kinda paranoid about it last night cuz of the height. It’s only actually visible to the neighbors whose second story overlooks my garden and they’ve already seen my grows, so it’s not really news. My guess is, it will resemble a greenhouse once the net goes up. For anyone flying over, they can wonder.

@monkeyman Let’s talk about the Panama Garlic Haze. What kind of phenos did you encounter? Do you think I should go with the biggest one with the fatter and giant fan leaves or is it worth it to wait for sex on the slightly smaller plants with the thinner leaves?
@Sebring I just received 2 sets of seeds from you. I am assuming this is for the spring box? Don’t know if I paid or not. Let me know how much and I’ll paypal you on your site immediately.

My dad is visiting me from a few thousand kilometres away and I was just thinking today that it was an unspoken ‘passing of the batton’ day in the sense that we used to work on cars and other things together when I was a child when I would hand him the tools and hold the torch or funnel or whatever while he worked and today it was dad handing me spanners, holding funnels while we chatted and laughed and I worked on the tractor.
He is 70 next year and has severe COPD and there is a real chance that after he goes home (when he decides to leave which will be before the weather warms up for summer because he comes from a much colder climate) that I won’t ever see him again.
It gave me a real sense of pride that I was doing all the the things he had taught me in my younger years and that he can now see me teaching my son in return.

That made me tear up! Thank you for sharing that with me. It’s amazing how much we take our parents for granted when we are young. To us they are invincible and always gonna be around when we need them. Sometimes even annoyingly so. Then we are grown and see them aging, have kids of our own and really start to value them in ways we never did before. I know that these days I want to spend every minute with Dad that he has for me. I cherish it. It warms my heart that you get time to cherish your Dad for what may be the last time. I’m sure you are making every moment count.

Me too.
Spend the time. I lost my mom suddenly and it’s still tough. A couple of years later my dad got lung cancer. I spent most of the 5 years he survived spending time with him and he became my best friend.
After his first surgery I had a wonderful job offer and was set to take it. I would be opening a new field office for a company in no other than Sun Valley, Idaho. I was stoked.
We had a family reunion (lots of those on my dad’s side), I was talking to my dads oldest sister about it and she took me off guard when she told me “your Dad needs you here now, you shouldn’t go”. Wow. I couldn’t stop thinking about in the following days and decided she was right. I pissed off a lot of people but will never regret the decision.
I had been struggling to land a good job after years of therapy, and litigation from a helicopter crash I was a part of on my job, and this was finally what I had been waiting for, and I wanted to get back to the Northwest.
So, it was the last good job opportunity I’ve had and live on much of nothing nowadays, all because I chose to stay with him. I’m so glad I didn’t leave. I’ll cherish the time forever. I was able to be by his side and hold him when he took his last breath. Heavy shit but you only get one shot at something like that. It was the best move of my life. Stay strong and love all you can. peace
