Yep - about every 2 years or so! LOL

I also donate over 80% of what I mix to MMJ patients. I'm on a 'one man mission' to turn patients into organic growers. No easy feat with the blather and drivel from 'da dude' down at the local grow store as things have turned out.

That's f'ing awesome ^^. I knew you had a big heart and a wealth of knowledge, but I had no idea you were doing all that. Blessings to you.

In tribute to the good work you're doing, my next batch of ferts is going to be your recipe there. Thx.

You know how you stumble through life and through whatever mode of action fate is using, leads you to meet a few, very special people during your life?

Clackamas Coot is one of those people. The kind of person you just want to be around hoping some morals and integrity of his, slide onto you.

There's human being wealth there beyond what's understandable to me.... ...

Cheers

I agree Smiley....
A lot of people around here use him as a living organic horticultural encyclopedia,I'm fortunate to be able to know the human being as well.

Just be cool to the Coot and he'll tune you up.

Is that your property or are you on a hike? Looks amazing. Grasses are very pleasing to me..... especially soft grasses.

yeah the 1st pic is a parcel adjacent to us but no one's there and it's un-developed

of course, i can wander around and gather flowers pretty easily in any direction

the grass is actually in our dog-pen (other wise the horse would have eaten it)

I'm not even sure that's what they are called,but what we called Montana sunflower looked similar. They were really oily and sticky.

Come to think of it stinky too.
