Scoped out grow sites…
With all I have to do I saw a break in the rain - we’ve gotten 6+ inches so far this month - and thought I get some mowing done - it needs it! I drove the mower out to the yard and the first thing I saw were several puddles. No mowing today.
I did take an opportunity to see how the Sun actually falls on the sites I have looked at.
It was nearly Sundown at the area I was looking at and it does have Sun falling on it.
In the first picture I’m showing the rise in the terrain before you get to the pocket I have mentioned before. It would get full Sun up until 1:00pm or so. The Sun comes up behind my right shoulder.
Where the Sun falls. The pocket is right there where the Sun meets the horizon (Red line).
The pocket (straight ahead in the picture below, right in front of where the grass gets taller) is covered on three sides by trees and this open side that is protected by the hillock in the picture. You wouldn’t be able to see it from the road to the South (left in the pictures).
Walking up to the pocket but also the entrance to through the treeline. The pathway is where you see the split in the tall grass. I have mowed it once, all the way out to the site and a wide area I’ve been looking at.
Pathway to the Enchanted Garden!
Nearing the clearing.
Sun-fall. I mowed around the 2 trees in the center/right of this image.

The right side…
My long shadow in the clearing showing Sun-fall.
While observing the clearing I noticed a large patch of Sun hitting a spot just the South of the double circle clearing.
Next time I mow I’m going to mow that area and get a better look at it. It ‘may’ be a better spot. However, it may be less open to the East, larger trees blocking it. I need a better look at it.
The late Sun sure hits the spot better then the double circle.
I need to get something out there quick! I really wish I knew the sexes of the New Arrivals, they’d be the first to go out there. I am thinking about putting them out there until they show their sex.
Any thoughts, suggestions, recommendations on putting those unsexed plants out there until they show, anyone? They will be far away from the Girls in Flower now!
Again, any thoughts, suggestions or recommendations are welcomed.
Keep it Green!
