Tom<p>I put the air-layered Santa Rosa plum in the ground this evening. I pulled the big forsythia out this morning with a lot of rope and a big come-a-long, cut the root ball off with the chain saw, dragged off the brush, washed the dirt out the root ball and dragged it off, chopped out some more roots, hoed it up, raked it out, planted the plum.</p><p>It had lots of new roots filling up the pot and has been growing fast.</p><p><a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/gardening" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>gardening</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/SantaRosaPlum" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>SantaRosaPlum</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/PlumTree" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>PlumTree</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/plum" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>plum</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/orchard" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>orchard</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/AirLayering" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>AirLayering</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/propagation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>propagation</span></a></p>
Last year after a heavy storm, a branch of a tree broke in the park next door. I asked the Gardner if I could take it & he agreed.
Brought it home to the #balcony. planned it in a large pot with mix of old soil and compost.

Months later, all the leaves fell & I thought it was dead, but today I saw 3 new branches growing from the soil. I'm going to have a giant gorge flower tree in my next place,

The Santa Rosa plum air layering has made roots! It's been 11 weeks since it was started. It should make a standard sized tree if it survives. I put it in a pot for now so I can be kept wet and out of the hot sun if necessary and figure out where I want to plant it.

It's been very interesting to watch the radius of ft8 reception on 20m abruptly shrink at times over the past couple of weeks. I'm currently receiving nothing beyond very roughly 1,000 miles, the shortest reception radius I've ever seen for when the band has still been working at all. It's very striking to see on the map.

I have a confession: Months ago I tried to persuade y'all that no Danish nocturnal insects takes interest in the flowers of Hoya linearis.

I lied.

The plant has been hanging from the ceiling in my bedroom all winter. Today I took it down to offer it some water, and now there are downy seeds all over my bedroom (I guess I should be grateful that I'm single).

To conclude:

Some of the flowers must have been pollinated while the plant was hanging in the garden last summer.

The seedpods must have looked somewhat like the leaves of the plant, and in retrospect I have been a little worried since some of the “leaves” looked yellowish, but since it was just here and there and didn't seem to affect the whole plant, I wasn't too worried.

Turns out the yellow “leaves” were actually seedpods that have now burts open and revealed lots and lots of seeds — each attached to something that looks like eiderdown. They fly at even the faintest breeze. This is gonna be fun…

People who know me also know that now I have to try and sow those seeds to see if I can grow new plants from seeds.

Did my mom and dad fsck in a greenhouse, that early summerday back then? 🤔
