It’s application time for SARE research grants.
I had been trying to think of what project I could use to apply for grant money. D’oh!
Thank you for reminding me. “Using minor bruising to stimulate flowering on plants that are day-length sensitive, as well as common vegetable species in which the specific variety is shy to flower”! That’s perfect!
Remember, as usual, you can put my signature to any grants you write, LOL! ;)
Flashlight deployed in Opo section of garden. No moths seen, tho’ many other small insects are flying around. Including plenty of mosquitos. Dang - who wants to put on repellent, at home, at 10 pm!
3 of the “high” female flowers completely fell off, two others look like they may be developing, one is newly open. So, I sacrificed a male flower that blossomed at a low ht., tonight, to manually pollinate the new female flower. Many new flowers are budding. I’d estimate at least 90% are male. I wish I knew how much flowering was normal for Opo.
