White Widow

Actually had a scary incident with this girl on Monday. I was out on a 26 mile bike ride and when I came home I found a gust of wind had knocked her off her wheelies and she was kinda tilted over at 45 degrees. Funky - and long enough that the flower tops had turned themselves to the sun in that orientation... AND the somewhat repaired torn joint at the bottom of the girl had re-torn. <sigh - don't it always happen that when you take that chance and remove the support early - you regret it - but I'm sure she'll be fine>. Had to pull out the big guns in the structural support department for corrective measures though. These blue poles are considerably more sturdy than the bamboo poles I have a bunch of which are smaller. These are actually hollow aluminum coated with plastic of some kind. Looks like rebar but very lightweight. Fact is she's getting so big she's probably gonna need those poles anyway down the road. Weather has moderated with traditional morning fog returning. I can tell the girls are drinking a bit less. Still moving along vertically with another 4" growth.
