Can I just say how amazing the sunrises and sunsets have been the last two weeks.

It's a magical time.

And sitting in the garden with your best buddy, chatting away the hours, with a few sticks of nag champa and some cups of tea is pretty bloody good too.

[Any best way to prune back my caapi?]

What d00d said. Make sure you try to propagate all those cut sections so you turn your vine into many.

If the h2o is even slightly less than pH 7, it might salt out an alkaline extract.

Hai. I remember yoooooo

[Medicinal cannabis legalised in Victoria, child epilepsy patients to be given access from 2017]

Wonder where they are going to get their stock from? Herbies? GHS? Bodhi?

It would be interesting to know exactly which strain(s) they are looking at, and why they chose them.

[Brugmansias - growing conditions, tips?]

They should love greenhouse life, but they would appreciate being in the ground even more. They love water and ferts like nothing else. It's hard to overfeed them.

[A beer with the d00d]

DarkStar :-}

Thanks HB, its not beer unless is darker than brown ;)

I see a conspicuously pale ale can in this last set of photos...

Wasn't he the guy olive said just buys his plants and resells them at higher prices?

For the record, I ain't a trump hater either. Who needs more politicians amiright?

And we all know whoever sits in office ain't makin the calls anyway. Trump is the American version of Clive Palmer IMHO. All in it for donnie.

[The Molecular Links of Re-Emerging Therapy: A Review of Evidence of Brahmi (Bacopa monniera).]

My mum is in the early stages of alzheimers, and having seen what AD did to my grandmother I'm following this with interest. My mum is fairly well resigned to her fate, but I'm encouraging her to keep an open mind to therapies.

[Unrooted "Psycho0" tip cuttings]

I love how some of them are all lumpy in the middle.

[eBay/Gumtree finds]

Holy shit that's a fat scop!

[Peruvian Army]

Nice setting too!

Around one year from sowing the seeds, here's is a selection of the grafts.

1. Bridgesii open

2. Cordobensis open

3. Bridgesii open (pair)

[skinny seedlings]

Yes, nut not too much sunlight. I've killed more obtusi seedlings with too much sun than I'd like to admit. At least these ones are still alive!

[What did you do in your sacred garden today?]

I gave it a go. My vine had to be cut back anyway, so I had nuthin to lose by dippin it in some iaa and planting. The tub should keep it pretty warm til it gets some roots going.

[What did you do in your sacred garden today?]

I laid down some caapi sections to propagate for my own garden and to give to a friend.

Then I meditated under my obtusifolia tree with some frankincense and myrrh incense.

It's so nice at this time of year.

[Grow diary: Incarvillea sinensis]

For me, much of its value is as a beautiful flowering perennial. The possible medicinal uses are just a nice contingency.

Is it a perennial or an annual?

[pics of the acacia plants i look after.]

I can send you a simplex if you want one.

[pics of the acacia plants i look after.]

Nice. Your lost tag acacia could be simplex maybe?

[Happy Viking Birthday Getafix...lol]

Hope the coming year brings positive changes to you mate.

[Read any good (or bad) books lately? (fiction)]

I've just finished Graham Hancock's "war god" series, which is a fictional retelling of the Spanish conquest of the Mexica. It's ok, it starts off at a fast pace, but it tends to get bogged down in military detail a lot.

[Ipomoea Pollen]

I can always send you some seeds that will be self fertile if all else fails.

[Ipomoea Pollen]

I'll try collect some for you but I ripped down most of my vines last weekend.
