I just think this should be a more commonly used phrase in my everyday life. Such a great Zeke reaction line. That is all.

Always a pleasure when your outdoor plants hit this point. Let the stretch begin!

Tucked away in my little garden I've got a few plants growing. The middle one is about a month older than the other two if there's questions on size discrepancies.

I plan to top them at about 6' (middle plant is just about ready). Last year I did that, pruned/ defoliated before flower as I noticed the first colas, and did pretty well despite losing half a plant to caterpillars.

I have a decent amount of gardening knowledge but if I get to nerd out then why not? What can I be doing to excel in my hobby and grow the happiest plants?

I've done as much machine sanding/ shaping as I can. Now the fun part. There's about 40 in there. My poor hands are gonna be sore the next few days.

Anyone have experience detail sanding with something like this? I tried a few different things but with all the tight curves and faces to blend is there no other way but hand sanding to get it done right?

Yes I'm using beaver craft knives, I know they aren't widely praised here but I wanted the walnut handle and, more importantly, I honed the bellies out of each knife and sharpened them till they were shaving arm hair.

This is a mushroom that's slightly... deflated? Mostly I just wanted to get a feel for the blades and technique. I can tell I'll be whittling more.
