The Perpetual Healing Garden - SweetSue's Joyful Return

[Canyon]

Sue,

Aloe is a kitchen plant for burns that many people keep and give away starts when the get too big. You may want to ask some friends if they have a plant.

I find myself wondering though, if as we get older we need less sleep? I seem to wake after 5-6 hours, regardless of any factors. I used to demand 8 hours or I was unbearable company. Now I function quite well, for all intents and purposes, on 5-6. It's when I fall down to 3-4 hours for a few nights straight, which I've been known to do of late, that trouble begins. That's the cycle I need to stop.

5-6 hours a night, occasional stretches of 3-4 hours a night until I crash and sleep 10 hours, then back to 5-6 hours a night.
This has been my schedule since about age 50.


I imagine you could put aloe pups in a USPS small box and mail them without major problems - Do you think that would work?

I'd imagine it could be packaged with nettle meal around it for safe travels as well.

Hi Sue! Your tents are looking great!

I've asked all of my friends Canyon. Unbelievably, none of them have an aloe plant. I was so tempted while in Phoenix, to dig some up from the side of the road and bring some home with me. I regret not doing so.

Ok, do I'm not alone. Thank you Rad.

If Pot Chimp can figure out how to successfully mail a clone, I'm certain it's possible to get come thing as hearty as aloe pups to mail safely.

Excellent idea. See? 36 figured it out for you.

Hi Sue! Your tents are looking great!

Hello Bangabong. Always good to have you stop by. They appear to be shaping up nicely. I'm still trying to get a feel for perpetual in these 2x2 tents. It's still a shock coming down from a 4x4. It's nice to have seeds cooperate.

I just love seeing gardeners use Aloe. It really makes me smile

Well, then my day is complete.

RheinRover, I missed replying on this earlier. I'm so pleased you're making oil. I assume you'll be posting pictures on your journal? I'll have to check it out.

I will have to take some pictures. I haven't started a new journal since I finished my original but I will make sure I let you know the out come. I started with 14g of dried herb for this first run to see if I like how it turns out. If its good I will plan to make more.

Also to reply to you first reply-- I'm at a loss for words how this plant we all love can be illegal. I always like to think glass half full and maybe your daughters first 33 years were rough but lets look at the positive and hope she doesn't have another 33 years of pain.

Ya know... Aloe is a very tough plant. I'd just put a few 'pups' in a big ziploc bag and ship them off. I wouldn't bother with getting crazy with gentle packing material.

 

[Canna Montana]

Yeah, flax isn't a sprouter. I keep hoping the local Lowe's will carry some aloe. Last year none showed up at all. Of course, the first year I needed it.

I saw some nice aloe plants at the h.depot. I think they were around $15. I'll be going to get one. Maybe today.

 

[Canna Montana]

Have you looked on the .mazon? They may have them, and would know the proper way of shipping

Me toooo!


I got my Aloe plant from a local grocery (safeway) It was in need of love, badly.
I gave it all my love, it rebounded and......
It now sits happy in my window. With lemon balm and (i think) german Tarragon.


I have a bag of organic flax seed that I have been meaning to research "How to use" in the garden.
good reminder you guys Thanks.....

100% correct Tead. But, if I'm going to send an aloe plant and stinging nettles, I may as well do it in one package at the same time.

 

[SweetSue]

I love you guys. The reality is that the last two years of my husband's life I was fixated on him, and the past year since his passing was spent working through grief. It left little time for running around. My running around is by bus, so I rely on local stores. Corporate retail has changed the landscape of local stores.

Aloe used to be a staple in our local stores. I don't know what changed but suddenly it wasn't. I'm keeping my eyes open this year, now that I have less distractions.

 

[Noob4x4grow]

Wish we were closer in proximity, hun. I have a lot of aloe, both inside and in my outside garden. I would gladly give you a few plants. Since I can't do that, here are some hugs

 

[SweetSue]

I was taking pictures of the DDA2 and thought "This would be the perfect time to top her".

My hand slipped at the last second. That's what I get for not moving things out of the way first.

I decided to pretend something came along and nibbled her top off. She'll survive. Let's see how well she can adapt.

I consoled myself with the smell of a pan of brownies baking in the oven.

 

[Noob4x4grow]

You are killing me with the brownie porn, Sue.

 

[SweetSue]

Forgive me then, oh favorite Noob. I just took them out of the oven. The apartment smells heavenly. I can't have one for another half hour.

If we had those transporter pads finished I'd be sending some over.

Good afternoon, by the way.

 

[Amadeus Forzin]

What noob said sue. That pic made my mouth water.

Daily Update: Wednesday, May 4, 2016

Starting out in the veg tent, we have some exciting news!!!

The community pot is all filled up now.

Welcome Shiva Shanti ll, just up out of the dirt.

Welcome little one.

Crossroads is now at Day 8.

Crossroads 2 is just 2 days old, and getting her feet under her. Ahhhh..... The value of a healthy soil community.

A full house. Let's see how they like sharing the space.

Super Cheese is also at Day 8. She has some strong lines in those new leaves.

Off to the neighboring Flowering tent. They're both at Day 84.

CBD Critical Cure is 19 days from flip.

CBD Critical Mass is one day from flip.

I tied down another top and bent a couple more over. I'll only do this for a couple more days and then she gets to take off and show us her stuff.

The Seedlings. Strawberry Blue (Day 22) gets transplanted tomorrow. Carnival (Day 17) looks like she'll be ready before Bubba Kush (Day 21). This Carnival is already looking like a showgirl.

Dark Devil Auto (Day 82) I can't believe the way she's hanging on, but she sent out a whole new wave of pistils following yesterday's malted barley grain drench.

The blossoms are exploding right off her.

The clones are holding nicely.

Aaaaannnnd that all I got so far guys. I need to dash out between showers and grab some groceries. Get out there and spread some joy of my own. Lol! May your day overflow with joy that refuses to be suppressed.
