The old consoles had a variable spindle that you had to slip on when you changed from lp's or 78's to 45's. If you wanted to keep your little sister from playing her god awful records, you hid the larger spindle.

Do you think the moon flowers would grow in a window box? Would it climb up a trellis? I've seen the seeds for sale and always wondered.

glennlab replies on Sep 9, 2018:

You really need at least 5 gallons of soil per plant, they can be tied to a trellis, it has no tendrils. It is a memeber of the belladonna family like tomatoes and potatoes. I use it at times as a place for the green tomato hook worm after I pluck them off my tomatoes. The moth larva will thrive on the leaves and the tomatoes appreciate the relief. I have had them pop up just about everywhere, but they are native to this area (Texas, desert SW).

@Sheannutt It was part of a federal grant for civic improvement that required the least amount of damage to living natural resources, plus you had the Army Corps with input. The town always had significant tourist income, so there was an add interest in preserving the things people come to see. Granted in the early 1900s thousands of 3-500 year old cypress were cleared from this lake shore.

Anyone into vermiculture?

glennlab comments on Sep 9, 2018:

I have an open compost pile that attracts the native worms and blue fly larva.The blue fly larva will consume almost anything in a few hours, including dead animals, so I never went beyond just looking at it.

glennlab replies on Sep 9, 2018:

@Zoohome none, I alternate layers of leaves/wood chips/pine bark mulch with a layer of organic wet. Once the blue flies mature (late August) I start adding a mixture of sugar water with dissolved yeast and a pinch of salt. The yeast will break down the sugars and starches to more usable foods for the bugs and microbes. I also have a lot of plants in pots, so at the end of the season, I add that dirt back to the pile. Its one of the few things I remember to water at least once a week when we don't have rain.

glennlab replies on Sep 9, 2018:

@Zoohome I compost most everything organic. When I was still doing taxes, all my shredded paperwork went into the compost, oil/grease from cooking, leftovers, freezer clean out, yard waste. I keep the yard waste on one side, then use it to cover the other waste. During the spring and summer when I add new material, it looks like the ground is alive. During the falland winter, it is much slower with just the earthworms and yeast.

They are super easy to grow, very drought tolerant, require next to no maintenance. If you'd like seed PM me. They have a super strong fragrance when they first open, around sundown, that very quickly disapates as the night goes on. As far north as you are they should be annuals, but you should be able to collect enough seeds to propagate another generation. All the plants in the pictures are first year growth.

I have a couple of pecan trees in the yard, and decided to try air layering on three branches.

glennlab comments on Sep 8, 2018:

In Texas, your best bet for a healthy pecan is native roots with grafts from an improved tree. The improved trees are susceptible to several soil borne diseases that the natives are not, the improved have large nuts, while the native has small hard to open and pick nuts. Since it can take 10 years...

glennlab replies on Sep 9, 2018:

@EdEarl My understanding is you can graft at pretty much any age, so if you have mature trees, grafting should give you good nuts in only a few years. Pretty much any of the Indian named cultivars (Cheyenne, Arapaho, Navajo, etc) will produce well with large meat, thin shelled pecans.

I have a couple of pecan trees in the yard, and decided to try air layering on three branches.

glennlab comments on Sep 8, 2018:

On figs, Air layering is a good propagation method, the rule with them is the larger the branch you can get to root, the quicker you will have viable fruit.

glennlab replies on Sep 9, 2018:

@EdEarl If you can find someone with a fig tree that has good figs, see if you can trim a branch, 2-4 feet, plant it in potting soil until roots develop, then transfer out doors. It is best to do this in spring when there are long green shoots coming out. You normally get a little fruit the first year, but don't allow it to develop, it takes too much of the strength first year. Second year, fair game.

Donald is so popular they're paying people to attend his rally in Billings, MT.

Tump has had paid shills in his crowds from day 1, even before he announced on the escalator.

This may not make much sense to folks outside of Texas or at least the South.

DenoPenno comments on Sep 3, 2018:

I hope Beto wins. The irony here is that Trump is not even for Cruz and he tweeted something to that effect. Maybe it is just "reverse tweeting."

glennlab replies on Sep 3, 2018:

He has actually announce a rally with Cruz.. Individuals are purchasing billboards with Trump's negative quotes in major markets.

Moon flowers, or loco weed.

HeathenFarmer comments on Sep 3, 2018:

That is not loco weed, it looks like morning glory. Loco weed is native to the Great Plains and a similar plant called the same is found in Australia. I am not trying to start an argument, the plant is common here and is also known as cowslip. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Locoweed

glennlab replies on Sep 3, 2018:

@HeathenFarmer you are still not reading the reference HISTORICAL reference to Loco weed was Jimson weed, my reference was to the settlement and areas of TEXAS and ares to the west of it. Go to Mark Twain for the historical reference. any way what difference does it make, I told you the scientific name of the plant I photographed, moon flower, loco weed, jimson weed, devil's trumpet, devil's vine are all correct names for that scientific name.

glennlab replies on Sep 3, 2018:

@HeathenFarmer Your reference is NOT a scientific document, I read it it is at best a very poor understanding of the history of the US southwest. The picture earlier here of "moonflower " was a culitivar that has been reference with that name. Datura inoxia is the plant that was reference in history as loco weed, it is known as Jimsom weed, Devil's trumpet , and Devil Weed. Cowslip and all of the milkweed plants are also "poison" but they don't cause hallucinations, one of the biggest attributes of loco weed.

I never realized how much work editors did until spending 10 years on the editorial board of a newspaper.. My first signed editorial, I handed over to one of the editorial staff what I thought was a perfect piece, a week later it was ready for publication.

glennlab replies on Sep 3, 2018:

also morning glory is a vine and not stocky plant. Morning glory blooms early morning and reopen on consecutive days. moon flower looms at night , once, has a high concentration of belladonna in the stems, leaves and seeds. the northern range of the plant is Colorado. It can only be grown indoors in Canada, so whatever you have it is not the plant identified in western literature as loco weed. It may be locally called that, but Datura was the famous loco weed.

glennlab replies on Sep 3, 2018:

From a scientific paper ...Moonflowers are part of the Solanaceae family, Datura inoxia. The plant, which blooms at night, is typically 3 feet high and is native to the southwestern U.S. and northern Mexico. In the fall, it produces thorny pods containing seeds. Health officials say that similar or related plants, including Devil’s Weed, Devil’s trumpet and Jimson Weed, often are referred to as moonflower and could have similar toxic effects.

glennlab replies on Sep 2, 2018:

I don't bother to name them, they won't come anyway. The family has been living in my shrubs for decades now and i don't know how many generations or birds are here. I like them a lot better than the blue jays and mockingbirds that nest higher in the trees.

I had moonflowers when I lived in Louisiana. I thought they were so cool!

glennlab replies on Sep 2, 2018:

mine came to me in a bunch of mulch, They were in a spot where I thought they were volunteer eggplants, until those damn blooms came. Had both new and returning plants every year since then.

I'm a squeamish coon ass, I finger the heads, I have seen way too many people with the fat running down the sides of their mouths. I actually get my fix of crawfish at the casinos in the spring. My meals are comped so I'm not paying $5 a lb for them.
