In0vation & Experimentati0n Ab0und...


Trying to extend this tired Tomato plant by excavating and dropping it further
into the ground to take advantage of the advantageous roots at the base of the
plant. Hoping to reinvigorate and get another set of fruit out of this specimen.
I also gave it a blessing of some worm castings that I was gifted by a fellow
yogi that is also a blossoming green thumb.

After uploading this, it makes me think that I should have planted it more
underground. Still not too late to modify.

Spore encrusted Staghorn Fern fronds. I hope to get some plants started from these
spores by using some Sphagnum moss and a bottle. I trimmed these off the parent
plant in hopes to inhibit some of the moisture evaporating off this plant.

Not just any bottle, but a beautiful bottle that once held some Honey. This will
make a nice Terrarium and hopefully achieve an ideal environment to generate
some Staghorn pups.


There was this newly acquired Staghorn fern that I came upon a couple of Sundays
ago that had blown down off a specimen in the tree. I didn't have to think twice
to pick it up knowing that it wasn't your typical Staghorn. Keeping it moist
and viable is another task. So I created an enclosure out of a plastic bag that
came off of a mattress. I even soaked this nearly dried up specimen over night
in a bucket of rain water to help revive it's fluids, if you will.

I had some encouragement seeing that at the rhizome where the new growth
comes from there was a new bud. To think that this plant would sacrifice every
thing green to push out this new growth in hope of survival.  

I got a theme running here, two encapsulated life forms.
