2021 Summer, Outside, Backyard, Under the Stars...

The first Deep Chunk (Freak Chunk) is doing well

 

[Jim Dandy]

So, wasn't a deer (I'm glad I didn't go all postal on the deer).
Was a Chipmunk!!! Luckily for the Cannabis the chipmunk decided he liked the Monet's Poppies better. Little pest.
I informed the "Rat Patrol", here guarding the recently replanted Black Maui.

I like the leaf shape on these two volunteers. I will most likely keep one, if female.

 

[Jim Dandy]

Sometimes I write notes to myself. Little reminders of things to do.

The volunteer in the bottom of the image posted June 26 was kept. Volunteer#1:

Yes, I'm back!
To quote my favorite character from a novel by Sir Terry Pratchett:

"I ain't dead yet!"

Tashkurgan male#1:

The Doctor is 1.75 inches high.

Tashkurgan male#1 getting ready to release pollen, any day now...

Some of the tree frogs have made their way inside...
I keep throwing them out, they keep coming back into the kitchen.
The frogs like hanging out by the compost bin on the kitchen counter.

Bingo Pajamas x Rainbow Wigglers, definitely female, getting ready to bud.
She was planted out late, mid-July. Looks like she will make a good show.

The bees are loving the Heirloom Tashkurgan males' pollen.
There is barely enough pollen left for the females...

 

[Jim Dandy]

This is the Heirloom Tashkurgan that I nick-named "Happy".
Has a nice candelabra form and Purple flowers.
It hasn't been cold enough to get color in the female buds yet, so I was surprised to see purple male flowers
There is a bee in the bottom left corner of the image.

4 of the 5 Black Maui planted turned out to be female.


Starting to get some nice Sativa colas on the Black Maui

Bingo Pajamas x Rainbow Wigglers showing nice color. And yes those are seeds developing...
The scent is sweet, I'm getting apple and peach tones. Can hardly wait.

Beautiful
I'm interested in that Tashkurgan myself.
Great looking plants

Man I am in love with structure of that tashkurgan Male and female. I think Its the way the leaves pray up but then relax at the tips giving them a more floral look but I like EM!

I am eagerly awaiting Fall colors. And the stalks are very strong.

I am enjoying growing them. Waiting for the purple tones, hasn't been cold enough yet...

Mendo Purps x 88G13/HP (Bodhi Seeds)
I had a small branch break about a week ago, so I dried it... what I've been smoking...
not quite ready but extremely enjoyable. Smooth, sweet, relaxing. A bit of appetite stimulation.
I expect more color when the temperature drops.
Thank you Bodhi!

Lady Beetle larva (Coleoptera: Coccinellidae)
Looking for dinner on DJ Short's Blueberry F5.
A little scary looking, but harmless to Homo sapiens, a very good predator.
