A bunch of recent pics...

Right.. im back from my punishment, and ive been quite busy, so i got some random photos, and i figure this is the right place for them...

okay... so the other day, i went out looking for places to grow next season, and after sorting it all out, i started making my way back, i was almost at the road when i spotted some cool looking wild plants, they were all rooted into compost along the pathway, so i guessed they were someone elses and decided not to take any, i was just about to walk away when i saw one of the plants was up-rooted, and had been half-eaten, i picked it up, and it looked even better than the others, so i took it home, and re-potted it, i know its not something ppl do, (for fear of introducing pests) but i did anyway, and its all okay now :) heres some good pics of it...anyone know what it is?

I made a worm farm too, it shallow for now, but i will be adding more food soon, i used a number of foods, and a few types of worms..

The bedding is simple shrub/tree compost, it stays cool, so its perfect, here are the foods i used, mixed with more compost;

-Chicken manure,
-Sugar,
-Spagnum moss,
-7x Manure,
-Blood meal,
-Bone meal,
-Clay, -(watered down)
-Wood ash.

so far they have disappeared into the bedding... so i just gotta wait :)

Nice to see you back, and nice new pics. That plant you found looks like something we call Hens and Chicks in the states. I'm gonna try to find a link...brb. Hen and chicks - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia . Even if it isn't that, it looks to be in a succulent family. I think Aloe Vera is a succulent too. Again, nice to see you. :jointsmile: Bree

cool.. nice to see you too :) i'd like to know how to grow the little plant, but ive got nothin so far.. it seems okay at the moment tho..:) l8a

I know that succulents do not like wet feet since they grow in dry climates. They like a lot of light, but not as much as cannabis I suppose since you aren't asking them to preform tricks. So put it in a sunny window, and don't overwater. They do flower, remember to post if you get it to, I'd like to see. I'm flower power crazy....I'm hoping my corn plant will flower in the spring...I've been pleading with it...lol. Bree.

hey abattoir, can you explain what a pistil is? im still learning how to determine if a plant is male or female..
i just want to be able to know for after i plant some seeds i can uproot the males

lol pistils are the little white/orange hairs on female buds, they catch pollen, and when they do, the little pods they come out of, (bud) become seed pods, basically buds are false seed pods, until pollenated :) they start off tiny, so be sure its not female, sometimes a female preflower looks like a little ball, until it starts to unfold, ive had a few more pistils pop out today, and both my HOG plants are female :) i want at least one male though, for my breeding plans..:)

hope u get what you want :) - good luck
