The genus Hoya all have simi!at flower clusters and vining habit. I had many before a house fire, now just have one H. pubicalyx that was cutting from a plant that came from a cutting of my original plant...this is a good year, it's in a 6" pot and right now has 16 flower clusters, earlier in...
Thanks, Yvonne !
I enjoyed doing it, and my redfoots seemed to enjoy it either way.
I have one jelly left in the fridge, checking it daily to see how long it will keep.
Wondering if you had a supply on hand but wanted to make a surplus of jellies (like if you have limited fuel to heat the...
The great afrobeat drummer Tony Allen, who plays drums on the track I used for this video, died yesterday while I was busy fitting everything together. May he rest easy.
Sorry about the problem viewing, I've fixed it.
This is the first time I've shared a video on any public place, so it's a good learning experience.
I'm not interested in any prize, this was just for the fun of doing it.
At the finish line, at the deadline....
(ok, so I now know about a few typos. I'll get a fresh version uploaded with corrections soon.
In the meanwhile, you guys can assume I already know what I screwed up.
@Kapidolo Farms
Thank you for this project, Will!
I learned that my...
Got my goodie package today, it all smells great!
I'm a little impatient, so I took a few snaps and mixed it up, it's in the fridge right now and will be tortoise lunch tomorrow. I will probably run the stills into a text box for the 'how to' part, then video the little buggers chowing down...
That looks more like dried minerals that were washed out of the soil and left behind on the clay when the water evaporated.
I've grown all kinds of plants and the only bad smell from a potted plant was either a rotting potato or a flowering Dracunculus.
Glad the problem seems to be lightening...
Agree :) I just find it interesting to see if scientists have figured out what it is that can be smelled ( maybe the higher levels of waste in the blood?) And how exactly we can smell that.
@ZEROPILOT , can you rule out a sinus infection?
This might be gross, but late last night I remembered...
That's awesome! I hear well, but nowhere near that well.
I'd love to see that documentary about smelling illness. It's not a very useful skill, but it would be interesting to see if they explain what things are smellable like that and why.
I would try the neti pot thing if it happened to me. I am one of those people who can smell things no one else can.
I chase down air leaks in my old house by the smell of wood in a draft....and tell if a person or animal has a liver or kidney problem by the smell of their skin.
But everything I...
We have pawpaw here too. If you think Redfoots love banana, you should see them with a pawpaw!
I haven't found the Osage Orange fruits to repel anything, though fresh ones have a strong (medicinal but sweet) smell. I'd be curious to hear about whether the branches work for you.
I have Osage Oranges. I bring them in every fall, just to look at them. They dry out in the bowls and I usually toss them in the spring when I have nicer things to fill those bowls.
I can brush the cobwebs off the current season's dried hedge apples and send them to you. Fresh ones can't be had...
