I cannot just send pics to my phlip fone (see that, lol?) because some 'permission' or level of security has
changed in the last 6 months or so and so I have to upload my pics from the fone to the computer, the phone is
possibly 16 years old as a refurb and the cord is now having trouble connecting...AT the fone. So, hence my
seriously-intermittent and spotty/latent Diary entries. I may be caught up by like June, lol. June says What?
>>>Here is a 166 that is sprouting in RoaDSidE GraVeL! I was walking and stopped to leg-stretch and was face-to-face
with...Huh? Maybeeeee the best starting fertilizer ever? I was like 'Hmmm...every granule here is perhaps from a
different parent rock, (great band name, lol---) so, with that much diversity and...plants' ability to grow on
volcanic rock if given time...and a good rinse and a CleAr plastic cUp with this stuff in it and my 166 seed, etc.,
I could be onto something, lol. Driver going by probably said 'Yeah, he's ONto sOMething. Danged pumpkin grower...'
Ha. I'll show somebody! Anyway, next pic shows the result - The seed was planted early on 4-2-26. Pic was late on 4-3-26.
No fertilizer nor Myco. Spring water only.
