Pic 1 is one of my coffee plants. Pic 2 is a pic of a coffee flower. Coffee needs a good rain in order to produce flowers. In a normal year the entire top of the plant should be a mass of flowers. Since we have had no rain this year I have no flowers. So it looks like I'm looking at half my usual crop.
Pic 3 is the stem of my problem plant. The lower branches have rooted. The rest of the stem is a mess. I have no idea what to do with this one. There is no way to lift it up and put something under it with the rooted branches. I will have to get in there and prune back some of the smaller branches.
Earlier I promised pics of my embarrassments. Let's head up the hill and I will show you a couple I am not so proud of. Pic 4 is a regrow that wants to keep budding. But it is the wrong time of the year for her to go off. So I get half brachs and she just keeps on growing. I will be curious to see what side wins.
Pic 5 is also a WW regrow. She has some PM on her and needs constant spraying. Also need to get in there and trim off more buds. There are two of the shittier girls. There's a few more and I will show them in my next post.
Honeygirl, I have a mob of dogs. Most have been rescued from a life of hunting pigs. Frankly pig dogs are treated like shit here. I pity the pig (both two and four legged variety) that gets caught out in the open in my yard. When my kids get ripe I tie one up out in the gulch. Thieves have made a grab for them more than once in the past. Only thing they got was stiches.

Aloha All.;
Last night started off quiet enough. Was closing down he house to go to sleep. My heeler let out her "somethings up bark" and goes tearing out the front door. Following her are 9 other dogs, slipping and sliding as they take the turns on the tile floor. Ever see a bunch of dogs lose traction on a tile floor? Funny as hell. They make it out the door and run down to the bottom of my property. All barking and growling. I follow and find nothing. So I go to sleep.
Two AM. Repeat of first episode. Haul my half asleep ass down there...nothing.
Five AM Repeat again. F##k that. I'm in bed and staying there. Let the mob handle it.
At dawn I am down there lookind for trails in the grass. Instead I find Shit. Deer pellets to be exact. The F##cking deer were trying to EAT my plants.
I've lived here twenty some years and only saw in that time, one deer. Now I have a herd at my fence eyeing my garden. Yesterday as I was comming home I saw turkeys from the side of the road, drinking out of a water trough. Today deer.
Deer here are considered exotic and we have an open season year round. I put some snares where they are comming over the fence so I may yet have some free food down the road. I don't like to use snares, but if I take a shot, there are houses downrange, and I dont want to put a round into somebodys house. Not a good way to make friends.
Back to the embarrassments. See? Put them at the bottom of a post that nobody will read? Too smart huh? All of these are on the top and all are being grown at the request of my wifes' patient. All are budding early, and In my eyes are a waste of space. I have told her this many times, but she knows everything, so it turns into lesson time.
Last post had the top two, now next row down we have Pics 1,2,3.
Pic 4 is from the same batch of seeds but looks a bit better. All are a Skunk/Thai cross from northern CA.
Pic 5 is the big one in the gulch. LSY gets off on it. :D
And that boys and girls is everything except Wife of my youths seven. And if I take pics of those I will be, and I quote, "Eating my balls for breakfast".

Geez guy ya crack me up, ya know how to tell a story. Bitter sweet tho as it makes me think of my dog. Im pretty sure you knew he died. He would hop up an down when it was feeding time, which he knew the time at 10am an 5;30pm was feeding time. Now he was 80lbs, so to see it an hear it as he needed a nail trim, clicked on the hard wood floor, all feet at the same time. Just never saw a dog hop like that and with this floor of mine, i sure could understand your description as iv seen my Brody try and get a foot hold, funny. Yeah i still miss him maybe more then i should, but he was some dog.

You can't miss Brody too much. When he died so did a small piece of you. When you are ready, you can get another dog. Not another Brody, but each one is irreplacable. So I hear you. Sorry to take you back into the memory hole.
The deer situation has resolved into a standoff. No more nocturnal visits. They are still out there. Just waiting for me to let my guard down. I can see their shit on the other side of the fence.
Snares work, yesterday caught one of my dogs. Not one of my better ideas. Dog was not badly hurt but wife of my youth chewed me a new one. Who am I kidding? Real Bad Idea.
STFU and show us the green already... ok...hold your water.
Below are the bottom girls. They were last seen in my June 19th post. They are in as close to the same order as the June 19th post. The only difference is Pic 5 is a close up of the Cali skunk that is/has gone off early.
Pic 1 is a regrow left and a cali girl that shot up and is now slowing down and going off.
Pic 2 is a monster regrow and a waste of a hole cali girl skunk/thai cross Lesson learned. use proven genetics. Plant mainland strains in short season. Give it a couple of generations to adjust to local climate. See what you get. See what problems come along with each new strain.
Pic 3 is the same strain as the gulch monster (tall one). This plants top was taken May 24th, and can be seen in that post under last to go. Seen again in June 19ths post.
Pic 4 is a cali girl that is turning into a nice bush. Have her close to the ground because if she gets tall she can be seen.
Pic 5 is a close up of my waste of space.

Pic 1 is on the bottom. It is another regrow. WW/WW cross. I need to get on it with a pair of clippers and remove some scragly bottom buds.
Pic 2 is one of my Bug eating friends. Was wandering through the garden this evening and saw a branch jump. Moved aside the branch and... Hello Jackson!

What?!?!?! That's a trip man, that would be so straight to have wild chameleons watching my shit.

That Jackson is a juvinile and just putting on his green coat. The biggest one on my property is about a 8 inches long with tail. They have a prehensile tongue that is twice as long as their body. When a bug sets down around him, he very slowly moves his head, and quickly shoots out his tongue and a sticky spot on its tip sticks to the bug. He will suck it back in and have lunch. He can hit a bug from a foot or more away. You have to see it to believe it.
Females are the same size and color, but have no horns, and give birth to small live young. The babies are camo and will go down to the base of the plant and hide after birth. (Mom and Dad will eat them if the find them.)
The babies are the ones that eat the majority of the bugs. Whiteflys don't stand a chance. Some years I have a lot, some years, none. this year...plenty. :D
This year is our second year of drought. I have the only green watered area within a mile or so. Every critter and its mother in this area is comming here looking for water.

Haha, thats awesome, animals are the shit, and making an area that supports them, just brings that much more appreciation from it. I myself have a Skunk Gecko that is about 3 yrs old and around 9" long. It would be awesome if I could put him on my plants sometime, but I feel he would dipset. Man, having those chameleons is saving you a pretty penny too, they are around $250 each if you want them as a pet. Gro on.
