Bubba 2....we love you!

[Karlee]

I have photoshop and you can remove it in the program i guess I should be doing that . Sorry haven't used the one you say just reading a little line about it *Removes bloated metadata, it's compressing it for you I'd check with a pic to see if the exif is missing.

Iet me know with a pic and I'll let you know

Sorry Rock it's like walking into your house and using the phone)

I was just trimming my plants up and tucking them into bed and I'm munching away on my leaves when this new taste appears it's like a peppery (hints like wines have) spicy I guess I'll say and cut into strips thin ones would spice anything up.

We need to experiment with our precious leaves. They taste so good 🥑

[bobsakamoto]

thank you karlee! i did check the very first pic i took with the software and the data wasn't there so i think it works. i was just wondering if anyone else had something they liked/had experience with. when i get ready to post my journal i might take you up on your offer to check it for me if that's still ok with you?

[Karlee]

Anytime Bob
You can do it through a private message here and then it won't be in the web to far!

[rockman]

Lol Karlee...you can use my phone anyday! 😊 Yes the young leaves are a great peppery spicy flavor, and it makes me warm inside to know that when I do clipping "a la Green", that not only is there no waste, but I'm doing my body good! 🐱

[rockman]

Bubba's haircut. Also pics of the cilppings and salad ingredients prior to and after chopping together. Enjoying it now! 😊

[Tika]

GODDDDD- I just GLEEKED all over my keyboard looking at the salad!
Ya know-have you ever made summer rolls with the translucent rice "tortillas" ? -the translucency allowing the first /outside layer of fan leaves to show while inside that can be shrimp, avocado,or chicken....
i need to go make dinner

[rockman]

Lovely presentation you made there Tika! 🌸 My salad was so dense with goodies that I set aside some for tomorrow! These later leaves are a bit more chewy than the younger ones, but still quite edible. 😊

[Tika]

That's a copy of an add..but I do plan to make them again with fan leaves

[rockman]

Got me...with the pretty flower in the presentation, I thought for sure you were doing a Martha for us! 😊 🌼

[Karlee]

You two, I have decided what my dinner is tonight summer rolls with tiny shrimp and greens! I'm so glad you have Bubba to take care of you!

[rockman]

Enjoy your rolls Karlee! You know I was out this afternoon in the garden doing some path maintenance work, and it was so pleasant weather wise that I was feeling like spring/summmer! 😊 Funny that you both mention summer rolls Outdoor activities really are fun in January! 🌻

[Karlee]

Hi Rock -
Want to make wilted greens?
Heat 1 1/2 tablespoons olive oil in a frying pan. Peel and thinly slice 3 garlic cloves and add to the pan (do not allow garlic to burn). As soon as it starts to sizzle, add greens and toss quickly in the oil until they start to wilt. Add 1 1/2 tablespoons of water, sea salt and lots of cracked black pepper. (but they taste like pepper already!)

That is your basic wilted greens... for the leaves getting tough, just slice thin and cook real quick Add them to still-warm simmered beans, lentils, grains, or roasted
veggies. Just trying to spice up your dinners!

[rockman]

Excellent suggestion Karlee! 😊 My dishes are always spiced up nice (curry powder, oregano are my current favorites). And I can never get enough garlic! Greens are superstars in the nutritional world! 🌿🌿 😊

[Bud Magic]

Hi Rockman

I will catch up on all of your pages later, just wanted to drop a hello to you.

[rockman]

Hi there Bud....great of you to stop by! I'll be posting a "day after haircut" photo this evening, and I'm going to set up the plant to show off better what's going on. Thanks again for your photo tips! 🌻

[insomniaczzz]

Rockman, your salad looked so super healthy and scrumptious, and Tika, those rice paper shrimp rolls to die for

And, I almost forgot to add, your plant looks beautiful. Picture perfect!!

[rockman]

Thanks! It was as nutritious as could be! And thanks for the compliment to Bubba...just posted day 37....she's such a beauty!

[rockman]

Bubba was ready for a bit of a photo shoot after yesterday's haircut. 😊

[Royal Nugs]

I just pictured bubba strutting down a runway like a fashion model! Sashay bubba!

[rockman]

Lol Royal....she likes to show off my new found growing style! 😊

[Green75]

really tight nodes there!!! Looking great...they look like they are loving life

[rockman]

Thanks Green....we're trying to make this experiment work, especially since now I have an international superstar watching! 🐸

[Karlee]

How does bubba smell at 37 days? I can't wait to grow an Auto it's so quick!

[rockman]

No smell now Karlee, the buds need a little more time,, and Bubba #1 never had a very powerful smell while growing. But, she is wonderful tasting when vaping...sweet a little like bubblegum! Good name for her.
Yes indeed...this auto seems to be moving along really quickly. I'm wondering if it's the training, the kind soil, or the fact that I've been giving her 22 hours lights on. Some day I'll have all this figured out. Lol! 😊

[Karlee]

My plant has a small smell and I think small because it's so cold for them, Doc Green suggested a aquarium heater to warm the water .....why didn't I think to do this? I was thinking big like a new house heating system to warm the whole thing a fireplace in my basement.

Lesson is if you have to slow a grow down keep it on the chilly side works like a charm. LOL

[rockman]

Soaking up that warm light, and showing that a shorty haircut doesn't last long! Stars in the sky.of green! 😊

[Karlee]

Bubba is at the top of the hill looking over the valley in love with life.singing 🎵 The hills are alive with the sound of music🎶 She's a star!

[rockman]

Thanks Karlee...lovely voice you have! 😊 Amazing how one plant can be so rewarding to me, even before the rewards are ready for plucking! 💜

[Karlee]

I swear it's a symbiotic relationship we get with our babies, yours is bright and singing to me!

[Saturn]

Hi Rockman - just dropped by - but what an awesome grow - that's amazing work - really really impressive. I'll try to use this as a model for my future grows.

GREAT WORK !!

[rockman]

Gosh darn....we're blushing! 😊 Thanks Saturn.....this grow is getting to be way too much fun!

[rockman]

Buds are popping up everywhere....it's taking lots of trimming to get light on them all! 😊

[Karlee]

As I was clipping my baby today nibbling on my leafs I looked over and my Kit was eating them also!

I agree with Saturn AWESOME for a darn auto A WHAT..... an Auto -

[rockman]

Everyone gets to nibble...especially Kit! 😊 Introduce me sometime. My three cats aren't interested. 🐱
Thanks, she's the most determined little baby I've had so far!

[Karlee]

Rock this is Loki the viking, he's Kit to me (he runs with raccoons.....I kid you not) he's keeper of the tent and killer of small things.

[Karlee]

Totally good fit , actually he's my dog reincarnated. I needed him back

[bobsakamoto]

so earlier today when i posted my first grow journal i said, "i haven't been this excited since i got kittens." HA!

he's so handsome, karlee.

[Tika]

What a handsome dude!!!!
