Botanical Magic

 It was a simple request: talk to the girls.

The girls being the plants currently approaching the flowering stage down in the basement grow tent. It seems one of them appeared to be developing pollen sacs, a masculine trait that, if left to continue, could pollinate the rest of the plants, and we don’t want that.

Nope. This tent is a girls club (no offense, guys, but only the females grow the prettiest flowers). So a pep talk was in order. Some spiritual woo woo coaching to get them all in line, and all working together for their highest good.

So we opened up the tent, and I approached them, gently caressed each stalk, as I reminded them all of their purpose: to maximize their feminine powers to grow the biggest, most beautiful purple buds. Eradicate the masculine from the tent once and for all, as it had no purpose here.

They listened. The offending pollen sacs disappeared. The buds are HUGE, glittering with trichromes. No plants were harmed in the process.

Was it magic? Were the pollen sacs ever really there in the first place? Curious to learn more?

Welcome to Down the Rabbit Hole. I never know where it’s going to end up, but most days are infinitely fascinating, and full of the sparkly stuff that make living such a joy. Follow me if you can, I’ll leave a red thread for you to find your own way out.

Funny thing, the actual rabbit holes in my backyard are not very deep. Sure, they contain more baby bunnies than I think should fit in there, but bunnies are squishy.

The deepest rabbit hole, one I visit frequently these days, is the world of AI in writing and creating. ChatGPT of course (go ahead, say it with a French accent, it comes out as Cat, I farted!), Bard, Dex, Claude (sounds like a romance novel now), Midjourney, which somehow involved arming squirrels for battle, and much more! 

But for now, it’s still summer gardening season! Oh the places we go when there’s gardening on the brain. Sunflowers! Oregano and Basil … Bella donna and cannabis.

Trichromes and terps.

Come join me down the rabbit hole! Magic and shenanigans will ensue; at the very least, there will be a story to tell.
