Lowe's has passion vines. I should go buy them this year. I missed last year's. Never finished my pagoda.

One point I missed you senile old man Passion flowers are perineal what is forcing you to repurchase them or did you forget to purchase them? Roll with the cheap as is our mantra and get 10-15 for $5 as I did. Did Harvey flood them out as they do like their feet dry? At lowes/HD they are probably $9-/plant, monsantoed and geneticly identical air-layered clones.

Nothing. I had plans and got distracted, then moved the chickens, then went to get them and they were gone. Just need to commit and get 'er done.

I made the decision. Spoke my mind and counted to 10. All that is left is the doing.

Thanks for the link to the seeds. Passion flower, moringa and nanking cherries. Got the mulberry trees in pots. Time to plant. Later than I wanted, but the bananas are doing well.

"Perineal" - your medical training is showing.

And they are $20 for a 2 gallon pot of vines. I do like the $5 option a whole lot better and I'm not in a hurry like most of the other shoppers.

Guilty! "Perineal" - your medical training is showing. I would love it if we could make arangments for the Nanking Cherry Seeds when you have em if they grow true from seeds. Our Moringa set a single pod so far, and she slaps my hand if I look at it! Also my Artichokes are coming up from their seed starts and will be dual purpose, architechtural accent and yum!


The birds get my Mulberry before I ever do but if you have seed on hand and guidance I would love to hear/have it.

Saves us from forming a quilting circle and seed exchange. Should preserve our manliness @RUNuts

So my wife just rolled her eyes at me and said "Mensa huh?" Dummy(me) was harvesting prickly pear tuna with my bare hands for the cute silkies. Ouch, never again.


Word of advice I did have a single smart thought today, should you ever find yourself with 100's of fine cactii spines in your hands and fingers, shaving your hands with a razor in the shower helps dramatically.

I hope he gets better for you if not...the taco man might be able to make you some fresh tacos with him. Just don't tell you know who.

Well out of the three that developed wry neck, one was euthanized when it got too lethargic to get out of its own poo. The other two pulled through and are hardly noticeable at this point.

Big hello to @Mwolfe38 !

I see a yard crew in your future.

And another thing, the roosters you blessed me with, one attempted a crow this gorgeous sunrise. 7 weeks old and he's stretching his vocal cords. A strangled, dry, coarse crow barely above a whisper, but a crow none the less. I'm almost at a point I can separate the sexes and start integrating the girls with the ladies.

A leghorn went broody so she got 9 eggs yesterday.

Amazingly, looks as though I beat the odds and won't require a bachelor pad. I only have one who crows and the other 15 have yet to show any signs of roosterness. Today I got after the crowing obvious for 1 month now rooster with hair clippers. I mean if you are going to be a soldier you do need the "cut" and ability to identify threats. He is even starting to do roosterly things like wing flap and herd the main hen after his haircut.

Sorry to not provide before and after pictures, if I find another roo in the bunch I'll be sure to do that.
