Seriously @gramps ! We both have some American Indian blood if I recall. Maybe we need to learn the ancient rain dance.

I have to admit this cool, cloudy morning feels great, but Rain! Give it to me!

Almost forgot, I could actually smell the Blue Dream today! Of course, I was really close to her. If you’ve ever grown one then you know how low odor they are generally. So I was pleasantly surprised as she’s not budding yet. She does have a few clusters barely forming though. Her very light distinctive smell comforts me. I’ve used this strain for my anxiety for probably a decade and it just triggers something in my brain now when I smell it. Strange isn’t it?

I’m bored waiting on these plants, so my thread is now a smorgasbord.

I should be working today, but instead I made a bunch of lattes with my Nespresso machine, putted around the garden and went grocery shopping for tonights dinner and now am preparing a Mediterranean Quinoa Salad with a Meesh twist. For any of you who like to cook or dig all the new revisited ancient grains here is a very loose recipe as I don’t really measure anything in this but the quinoa before I cook it.

Cook a cup of quinoa, let cool
1 english cucumber the kind without seeds, cut in small diced size pieces
1/2 a package of grape tomatoes cut in half
A couple handfuls of chopped green onions
A can of garbanzo beans aka chick peas rinsed
A handful of fresh mint, I grabbed mine from the garden, chopped fine
Throw it all in a bowl, toss about a 1/4 cup of lemon juice with about 2 tbsps of olive oil in to it. It shouldn’t be wet or saturated and throw in the fridge for a few hours so all the flavors mesh.

Voila, quick summer salad, makes a pretty good sized bowl. Simple and delish. I’ll post a pic later when it’s done

@DougDawson was it you with the Russian Sage? You know how the flower spikes are all branches with the leaves on the bottom and flowers at the top? Am I supposed to prune the spikes down once they are done flowering or do they just do their own thing after flowering and I should leave them alone? Just got my plant this year.

I let mine go and cut them back in winter. They keep flowering up to freeze I think.

No that was not me, beautiful looking plant though. The Blue Spire Russian Sage would make a great mix with it. Wish I could help with the pruning info on them but sadly I can’t.

You mean the little flowers will just die and then new flowers will grow on the same branch? I’m pretty sure you know what I mean, the whole plant just grows like it’s a collection of flower spikes. Beautiful, but odd.

Thanks for replying! I honestly thought it was you. Another Canadian then, I believe showed me theirs. I’d dig through this thread but I was too lazy to scroll through 1000 posts. lol

Edit: Obviously I was too lazy to check my grammar as well. :sweat_smile:

Here’s one of mine. My flowers are a lavender color. I Don’t cut it to the ground. Just the long tall spikes because they will sprout new growth and get a little out of hand. I just take that dead top looking stuff and make it about 1.5 or 2 feet maybe. This one has been growing all summer.

5 Likes

Meaning yes, cut some of the top dead flower stalk off? Like Maybe to top leaf node and it will grow in a new spike? or just leave it until it goes dormant on it’s own and cut it back then?

My entire plant is flower spikes, some just getting shabbier at the top than others and the blue flowers have turned to brown. I’ll take a pic tmw

Oh, ok, yeah, if it’s already dying you could prune it back some they seem to grow pretty well. Mine stay sort of the same if it’s moist like it is this year. If I don’t chop my tops in the late spring the leaves will start growing off of them too, and they can get big if left to grow year after year.

They smell great!
