Update on the seedlings that survived a year without light or water for a year
Maaaaaaaaan, I love this hobbsession. Original post will be in comments, but tldr is I took these out of my tent last June probably. They spent a year on my basement floor with no water or proper light. I’ve got about 20 Misplant x Mean Green Pachanoi Machine, 6 Brad x Lee, a handful of Fuego Segrado, and then about 70 SS02 crosses.
I’ve done my best to baby them since discovering they hadn’t quit on me 💚 🌵
Oh, Baby Slow Down! You’re Pumping Too Hard!
Sigh Classic tale of pumping when you shoulda pupped.
Our state has become flooded with data centers to house the information captured by flock cameras.
As Flock surveillance spreads, Virginia communities push back
Across Virginia, more than 3,000 Flock cameras are estimated to line the highways, roads and parking lots in Virginia.
The AI-powered policing tool has won wide adoption from law enforcement agencies seeking to use high-tech tools to reduce crime. But the rapid growth of 24/7 surveillance has set off waves of protests in Virginia’s small towns and sprawling counties.
One Norfolk woman discovered that Flock cameras recorded her minivan’s trips – capturing her license plate, vehicle features, exact time and location – more than 100 times in just three days in February. She now joins other privacy advocates to regularly lobby city council to cancel its Flock contract.
Reporter Kunle Falayi has documented the spread of Flock Safety systems and other automatic license plate readers throughout Virginia. He’s mapped the locations of ALPR cameras across the commonwealth.
Falayi’s stories have sparked citizen concern and protests. Now, some local elected leaders are paying attention.

Every time I post something in one of my “Pot Heads” you all seem to like ‘em so I figured i’d give you a full tour of my collection (…or what’s left lol) The Crying Pots do just that. Water leaks from the eyes when I water them
Silver Dollar Bridge got new shoes today
Would this qualify as a Monstrose or Melti variant? I saw someone else post their Silver Dollar Bridge & it looked like a traditional Bridge (aka uniform columns of ribs with no shifting)

“Melti” DeCosta on some FAT pc rootstock
The original cutting was on its own roots and three times as big as the light green section, but I had to cut away 2/3 after it got damaged in January when my greenhouse collapsed.
All of the darker, healthy growth has been since I grafted it
Lil Melti DeCosta
The bottom of the original cutting started to rot after my greenhouse collapsed in Jan, so I saved what I could (had to junk 2/3rds of the cutting to stop seeing brown in the vascular ring) and slapped it on this FAT PC rootstock.
The darker, healthy growth is all since grafting it this spring!
Grafted everything that got beat up after the tree fell. Wish me luck…

The Many Faces of Death
The “Pot Heads” took a beating from that tree. There’s still a clown I know is missing… probably more
Picked up a new Garden Guardian after saving it from the fire pit
Update: Tree’s gone. The damage sucks but it could’ve sucked worse
Lots of damage, but they should be able to recover or at least be propagated. Still trying to find a few, but I’m thankful
My cactus collection before leaving town yesterday vs. getting back last night.
Years of collecting and growth. Probably close to a thousand in “face pots” from an artist out of Canada.
Nothing to say but, “Fuck…”
Nothing to do but fire up the chainsaw & start blasting Suicidal Tendencies.
