Great!

[Gerardo]

Still a work in progress, some advancement and still much to do.

Three more tubes in the works. Tomorrow I shall build a 3rd one.

Citrus, as requested.
And as I mentioned, they got sheep manure:tobacco and sonic bloom 0-51-34.

Lens is shot on my camera, new one soon.

Odoriko and Gigant-10 Novikova. Odoriko are all cuttings from today's culling.

And a new foe has surfaced. About 60-70% of the size of whiteflies.

I see them parked on my flowers, and I'm not gonna ask if
they're just passing through.

Neem and a little DE.

Met52 is next if this new zombie horde does not get the message.

Hey G, I have never seen them black, and those wings look too long and full. Are you sure you have TSBs this time? Also, full wings are only when they are adult, but by then they are about 6 mm long. I am not convinced this little guy is our suck bug, which are usually green, same color as the stem. Maybe it is, is his abdomen missing? Then it could be that little rat bastid!

Gerardo, you know I love your reports and your pictures, but what I want to know is whether you have what some would call a real job,like getting up in the AM,gulping coffee and eating whatever,going home at the end of the day,eating dinner with family and doing that 5 days a week year round except for vacation time.

Which leaves how much time and when for all your gardening activities?

Work is overrated.

[Gerardo]

Thanks Deb!

C and RS: No way. Freelance. Although I may have to embrace the chains and move back stateside at some point. As soon as I instill some more 3rd world into my boy, as in appreciating paved streets, appreciating opening a faucet and having water come out, mulling the concept of "street children," and knowing how to spot bad people--once all those are cemented I'll do my Metropolis walk down to the saltmine. In the meantime, I'll continue freelance for bill paying and maybe turn this obsession into a profitable endeavor. There's an unmet demand given our BajaMed food movement, so that's the end goal of all this tinkering. At some point in the near future I will scale up and then it will be a real job.

W: very happy you got some. Try making some chicken broth with it and then using that for rice and other stuff, subtle smoke galore.

M: this guy is definitely not our common foe. This is a new one. It seems to gravitate towards the dwarfs. Parked under leaves on the stem itself, just sucking away. Been finding the nubbins/broccoli/aborted trusses due to something. Neem doesn't seem to do much to them. Pyrethrin tomorrow w DE. PM Dkx rE mEt52

Rooftop is getting a little crowded.

FEDEX on fire in the background. Drove by it and could feel the heat at 1 km distance.
It's been going for about two hours now.
Firefighters are watching the show.

What's burning?

[Gerardo]

Google maps is wrong, the FedEx building is next door to the fire.

What's burning is a paint factory.

[Deborah]

Gosh!

[Worth1]

That's better than Fedex and everyone's stuff burning up.

I wonder if the smoke chokes out Tomato Suck Bugs?
