Doo, doo, doo, lookin' out my back door

It is not so much as yours, but it's all me. The tall plants I use to test effects of electromotive force on growth. Some daylilies are hybrids I created and the maple just out of the picture has a bizarre cell wall mutation I thought might be of interest in creating ethanol fuel or making concrete Kant's idea of a "tree". Before After

Indeed the growth of the green ones compared with last years snow bound ones are giants by comparison.The long internode distance, the ability to survive for over a week without roots (if submerged) and large stem diameter (to insert the electrodes into) make application of electromotive force to the plant easy to do and observe.I already have had some results as I showed on EVC before. (look for the cell "bumps" I assume were re-grown (possibly in response to cell-death)to seal up pathways of electromotive force flowing through holes in the "internode space" created during the experiment.)I chose to use aluminun electrodes because plants dont usually use alumninum so the direction the ions may be flowing to and away from the plant may be in a trajectory not natural to the plant and thus cause it to repsond in a way never seen before.Aluminum coming off the electrodes form layers during the experiment that may??????????? be equal and opposite to the unnatural motive force applied as shaped by the plant itself. The fact that this experiment possess all of the components necessary to proove or disproove Gladyshev's law, the weeds are not going any time soon. It is also quite interesting to watch how the soft tissue turns woody during the course of a year's seasons. I would like to know why knotweed gets hard. It lead me to the idea that wood is the plants' way to force it reciprocally to invade a different place.Edited by Brad McFall, : No reason given.

I was spreading my Grandmother's remains behind a stump podium at an outdoor amphitheatre dedicated to Granddad here
The College Lodge - Home
where I walked up both on a porcupine and this little fella out back.

The lodge was a dream of my Grandfather. There are over 5 miles of trails as well as ravines, woods, streams,fields, a lagoon, and a pond. It has been a wildlife preserve since the 50s coming out of a discussion in the 30s.

Yeah it is a great place to observe and think about nature
(I hope you are doing well). I also picked up this girl, I think, either on the way or on the way back from laying eggs.
