Stratospheric Sky Garden Tests Organisms’ Abilities to Survive in Space

[Stratospheric Sky Garden Tests Organisms’ Abilities to Survive in Space]

"Interestingly, the scientists found that the various cacti were able to withstand the extreme conditions of being 85,000 feet high, but the artificial life forms were completely destroyed"

 

Now where do I get myself a space / sky garden ? 

Haha

[how long does pollen stay viable once a bee gets it]

Yeah I agree kykeion, I was under the impression that the bees cleaned themselves of pollen upon returning to the hive ? Although I'm no bee expert by any means , maybe someone with some knowledge about this can weigh in on the subject  

[Built a small propogation chamber on the weekend (pics inside)]

I agree sagi it is an awesome custom mini green house 

nice work squidgyGoanna 

 

[Nicotinia]

Looks like n.tabacum to me from the flower colour

i'd love to be able to offer some assistance in further identification 

but I have no real experience with this plant 

 

[What did you do to your cacti today?]

@mapacho that ingenious makeshift sunshade literally made me smack myself in the forehead so simple here I am thinking of some actually frame with sun cloth etc and you solve my problems with 3 stakes and a piece of cardboard haha thank you

posts about fairy bread have little to no intellectual benefit but fcuk it's tasty as tiny coloured balls of processed sugar could possibly be 

 

 

 

[Old colour scheme!]

What a change almost made my phone explode and after it refreshed I thought oh damn what have I done now 

haha looks cool though 

[Post a random CACTI picture thread]

Literally as far as the eye can see

I have heard a version of that story where the guy fried himself into thinking he was a sunflower and he would bloom in the morning with the sunrise and close up with the sunset  having to be watered during the day by his parents 

[Trichoderma LC for fertiliser- teks known?]

I've had no such experience so I can not offer any advice ,

but I would love to know what the addition of trich to fertiliser and your garden in turn is good for ie perceived benefits . Just interested as I've never heard of such a thing , all though my knowledge runs thin but I'm learning or attempting to anyway 

 

[a godless garden. work in progress. a blog]

Wow just wow

f#*king amazing mate

Tried this apparent new "Ginger" coke

Because my mind is easily

distracted from simple tasks as finding water for rehydration in a moment of desert level thirst 

but

 

Why does ginger coca cola burn when I excrete it from

the glands in my body that produce sweat , it's hot and my skin is burning like full body tiger balm rub 

interestinger and interestinger

that's what you get i

guess for trying new coke products something I normally refrain from consuming 

this does not happen with say Bundaberg ginger beer or ginger in foods etc 

has coca cola weaponised ginger in the ongoing campaign to take over the world with highly caffeinated beverages , it's chemical warfare 

fucking conspiracies left right and upper middle central 

 

[African tropical rainforest spices]

 

I honestly have no idea 

but in the second picture it sort of looks like sumac 

 

Dont quote me on it but could be anything hah

[New Drum and Bass]

i did notice that there where a few more tracks up there but didn't have the time the other day , I'll check them out now that I have a spare minute . Great man it's fantastic to have an outlet I hope to hear more tracks from you in the future 

[Is this site dying out ?]

the site is already awash in brilliant knowledge seeping from every crevice 

i feel I have no real input or can say anything thing that hasn't been said 

although

ill post as I will in time 

shit Still got nothing to prove 

work , gardening , mycological explorations , family , forays into real life explorations after untold time in the cavernous depths , experiencing life shit I've run out of time to sleep let alone shit or shave 

lucky if I sweep in once or twice a day with a like to bring an interesting topic to the spotlight of another SABer who maybe has an opinion on the subject that I may read an enjoy at a later date 

if I suddenly find myself with lack of beauty to be found in living life itself I'll spam the living crap out of the forum with knowledgable insights for less of a better phrase of terminology 

or maybe I'm rambling and none of this matters at all

 if it's all just words in the wind 

or ones and zeroes on the intersnaz 

the corroboree with live on 

even if our perception and or participation changes 

 

or whatever and so on and so on and so on and so
