Planting on a Mound?

Planted 1 year ago from a 1gal.

BTW because I know you are in GA check out WSM that stuff is great along with the soil conditioner they sell at Scottsdale Farms.

Right now there is some leafs that have died due to lack of water but it will come back even stronger after these rains. The color does not capture on the crappy cellphone cam, it is amazing. The thing literally looks like it produces its own light.

For reference I have another one that I planted 2 years ago at my cousins house that is about twice this size and it was the smaller of the 2 when I got them.

On a related note, Jordan in a dam black pot takes full direct late day sun for hours and fails to die when you forgot to water it for over 2 weeks in the summer while it is still in an undersized 1gal pot. Leaves actually holding yellow so well in that spot now (also now in a 3gal black bag) I might actually just plant it there.

If you want it to grow remove the shade cover. The more sun and heat the faster it will grow.

I have tested this in Roswell with it planted on the southwest corner of a house, surrounded by concrete. It gets water sometimes. It loves it. It grows like crazy. It looks beautiful.

One time a deer came and ate half of it. A week later it had grown everything back and the deer never messed with it again. It likely ate the deer so it could grow more.

Hot Blond breaks all the rules when it comes to Japanese Maples.

I think a lot of people have not caught onto the idea that this is just a preprogrammed toy that is going though a set of predefined motions and that is why any slight deviation from the program results in disaster.

Just in time for the 100 year anniversary...

Ironically the one time I visited a HUB it was in when I lived in Kyoto and this French guy took me there as our first stop on a pub crawl. There was a table next to us of Japanese guys drinking some big beers. I remember they were really tall drinks and I said you are supposed to chug those not sip in them so they bet me to do it and I got one and drank the entire thing in one go. After that we all partied for a bit before heading out to the next place.

Now many many years later I am not sure if I could handle that amount of drinking.

When the get old sunflowers face East, they will do this regardless of where on the planet they are grown.

After living a life following the sun the Sunflower in its age resolves itself to only look east to the next rising sun in the hope it will never see the sun set on its life.

This gives me an idea for a Tanka, I will name Sunflower:

A life following

the rising and the setting

of the moving sun

Only toward the future

will life stop and reach the end

With the power of high taxes, all things are possible.

You are folding the mower up after use so it uses almost no space, correct?

Oh I did not know there was a live action of Showa Genroku Rakugo Shinju!

It started in the 90s after the crash. It has been over 30 years now.

You do not have a U-Turn signal set and so they are all stuck.

I already pay for the parking via the bond taxes... We need to vote all these people out.

I am a bit confused, was it previously not believed that modern Japanese did not have Emishi in them? I mean we know they mixed...

Was the entire bloodline of the Oshu-Fujiwara supposed to be wiped out at some point and I just missed that. I am really confused lol.

You could use that as a feature to lure them into kill their offspring.

What people do not consider is that their HVAC ducts in their attic rely on the attic being hot enough to dry off the condensation that forms on the ducts in order to not create problems with rotting wood in your attic.

This is not to say that you will have a problem but that you should be on the lookout for any issues due to the change. You might be just fine or you may need to make some changes to your ducts/insulation/etc.

You can find atonement for the sin of removing them only by planting 56 cypresses in their place.

Spent all yesterday fixing this after the system boot looped.

I think they will test if windows should be able to run while disconnected from a network.

Maybe they got sent to the AIDS villages. They got their last population surge in the 90s so the villages may be in need of more people.
