Re: Minnesota Crunchers

Nice plants and an interesting way to grow them. I see you also have a nice view of the woods out your window.
Cheers

Kind of dualistic stuff to be honest.

On Saturdays and Sundays, certainly not landscape that would be most wanted environment to spend hold day.
But From Monday to Friday evenings it just create magical avalon , some odd castle behind moat, where any disturbance from quarterly capitalism cannot follow.

Well now when started this stuff.
On old days here on Europe, there were these black nights.
Those dudes where black because they did live on backwoods instead of cities, so there was no servants to polish their amours, so those did oxide to black.

So, I guess nothing new under sun since, well few hundred yeast at last.

I liked it. Made a lot of sense to me. I enjoy being able to live in a not crowded area.

Re: Minnesota Crunchers

Well, I figured since this is the second day it is over 80F(26C) it was probably time to take off the snow tires. I know it seems like a radical idea to remove them before Memorial Day, but I thought I would go out on a limb and do it today. We have gotten almost 2 in(5cm) of welcome rain in the last two days and things have greened up nicely. If it is nice tomorrow, I will finally get my potatoes in the garden.
Cheers

Keep us update smile
Sure would be nice to hear all kinds of details.

I do not dare to try any outdoor stuff since bugs eat my plants.
I mean that everything from flowers to chilies just went back to nature so to speak, and not really keen to study art of pesticide, so I stay indoors.

Here is new pic.
I did manage kill one of my three flower simply nitrogen over-dosage, kind of sunk them to 4-1-1 (N-P-K) fertilizer and surely did found out that flowers can grow more leaves than sterns can carry.
I did spray leaves every day with *ethanol and butanol, so I did not meet saturation point through osmosis, I was able to get them suck huge amount of nitrogen, so much that simply vertical weight did crash one plant.
Instantly change to 12-5-15 fertilizer (N<K) and was able to safe two.

Empirical I can verify that nitrogen over-dosage sure will cause accumulation of carbohydrates to leaves.
Do not have any idea what flower it was, but was so curious that take my changes with oripavine poisoning and did eat one leaf.
It was absolutely like cotton candy, it was some very very sweet form of sugar.

Two are now growing (very slowly) vertically and can expect flowers on autumn from those. Just wish I would get some another colors this time.
Do not want to aim some certain result, like to play more with random change. Keeps it more interesting

My next challenge is that amount of peat I'm using, cannot tie enough water for one workday.
Do not want to go back to pluming systems, neither to bigger pots, want to keep this kind of bonsai stuff so ordered few liters of vermiculite and try grow my next flowers on that.
Also going to try led-lights.
Theoretically plants would benefit most from red and blue light but there now way that I cannot stand those flower-lights, so did order 90W panel designed to sea water aquarium, producing some ultra blue/with light very close to midday cloudless sky.

Re: Minnesota Crunchers

It has done nothing but rain for the last few days, so no further planting right now. Might make it to 50F(10C) today and it has been sprinkling on and off. Thankfully no severe weather like they have had in Oklahoma. Considering how massive that tornado was, I am surprised even more people did not die. The latest death total is 24. I hope it goes no higher.

Re: Minnesota Crunchers

Some funny €urostuff, this is reality here again:
http://youtu.be/c-WO73Dh7rY?t=26s


Todays version:

-Year ago Luxembourg was pro banking secrecy.

-All the sudden, they made 180' turn.
Carrying idea of this king idea was that Austria and Swizz will join this new world order and there fore there will not be any weakening on status of Lux on monetary market.

- Well, Swizz president (there is actually one) did make clear that no way!

- Austria also did make clear that Luxembourg stinks.

- Now Luxembourg did make another 180' turn and start to agree with Austria.
I guess all the sudden they did remember that on 1960's 50% of Luxembourg's GDP's origin was from steel mines and 25% from cow milking.

Sh*t this is so funny biggrin

Re: Minnesota Crunchers

Although they appear to be fighting like cats and dogs right now, I presume they will reach some form of consensus in the future, probably involving some mix of privacy controls and the exchange of some information to crack down on tax evasion and money laundering. Although difficult, the problem does not appear to be intractable.
Cheers
