#plant development

[thestudentfarmer]

Hello hello~

I've got some garden pic updates :)

New sunflower patch, I'm only doing a small patch here as It's to tide over till I get some more scaping/zoning planned up. These are from 4th gen mix seeds (I got them from some friends and classmates)

Same row, I purchased some jalapeno starts as the peppers I seed started are still super small currently.

Same tows, some super late starting spinach. I'm letting it grow to see if I can see what seeding for spinach is like and share that with you all :)

In the white line/square is a wild seeded chamomile plant. I pulled it and gave it to the chickens as a treat.

Further up is the remaining carrots and some tomato starts we purchased, now interplanted with them. There's 2 slicer types and a grape variety. I don't remember offhand if they are determinate or indeterminate. Unfortunately the ones I seed started died off once they were returned outside.

:( thankfully we've all agreed to go light on tomatoes this year due to that.

In ground some direct seeded squash, these are a patty pan/Starburst variety and a couple zuchinni. With luck this year we avoid the squash bugs!

The direct seeded nasturtium in the back and front is careless wildseeded chamomile (I swear it's the best way to grow it and will be sowing another patch like this)

The few eggplants I've left for now have flowers, pointed to by the white arrows.

And the broccoli currently, the seeds aren't ready quite yet, but I pulled a pod the birds got to to check them, still pretty green but the seeds are of good size. Still lots of lovely flowers for the various pollinators of the area. Unlike carrot flowers, broccoli seems to attract mostly bees (the honeybees) I haven't seen too many butterflies, moths, flies or otherwise.

Just a bee enjoying some broccoli pollen~

For pest report,

So far I've seen flies and stink bugs.

No ants, aphids and thankfully no squash bugs so far.

Beneficial bug report,

I did see some ladybird gators while doing maintenence cleanup. Some small soil roachs in a few of the beds earthworms while trimming off roots to old sunflower stems.

Mixed bugs:

What I believe to be praying mantis egg cases, I don't know how old or how new they are though.

Pillbugs in some of the beds.

Our parrot visitors have stopped coming by, unfortunatly we no longer have any sunflower heads available for them. When more sunflowers come in I hope they will visit again, or perhaps even when the hollyhocks start seeding. Plenty of the smaller birds of the area still visiting though. I find the thought they might get broccoli seed and wild seed it elsewhere very funny.

This week I plan to work on getting a water line in and some more deep beds set up for growing more sweet potato vines/spuds. As well as getting some melon seeds direct seeded if I can (I may need more soil first to refill the bed).

Started some new spuds to vine for the sweet potato's and ordered some sunchoke tubers and seeds to start out some new herbs/spices and teas.

That's it for today's post and update 😊

[whats-in-a-sentence]

The development of the seed plant sporophyte can be broken down into three major stages (Figure 17.2): embryogenesis, vegetative development, and reproductive development. (...) An essential feature of this basic architecture is the presence of apical meristems at the tips of the root and shoot axes (see Figure 17.2), which are key to sustaining indeterminate patterns of vegetative growth.

The down-regulation of KNOX genes in leaf primordia, which occurs initially in response to the focused accumulation of auxin at leaf initiation sites, is required for adaxial development and is essential for normal adaxial-abaxial patterning of the leaf in many, but not all, species.

SHOUTOUT to Doctor Who for canonically making the entire British Royal Family werewolves

Taking that one little fact that Queen Victoria passed hemophilia down the Royal line and twisting it so that her descendants are werewolves instead with the werewolf gene most likely to fully mature by the 21st century is poetic cinema

I love long, meadow-y grass so I don't mow my lawn. (Except the strip by the sidewalk, which is part of the public right-of-way.)

Today I discovered a ground nesting bird (a dark eyed junco) has built a nest on my yard, hidden by the long grass! Several little eggs in it.

Violet Oscyle 🪻🐦‍⬛

I’ve been chipping away at some concept art for a webcomic idea I’ve had floating in my mind titled Violet Ties for about a decade now, so here’s a look at a flower concept design called the Violet Oscyle!

[whats-in-a-sentence]

PIFs promote etiolated development in the dark (skotomorphogenesis) primarily by serving as transcriptional activators of dark-induced genes (Figure 16.13A), and also by repressing some light-induced genes (Figure 16.13B).

Flower Fruit Mountain VisDev | JTTW VisDev Project

JTTW VisDev Project

A plant that is on Flower Fruit mountain. I have decided to draw fragrant osmanthus because it is a plant that native to Asia and grows in China. I mostly selected this plan to be in Flower Fruit mountain because it is really pretty when it blooms. Also I am struggling with how I should even develop flower fruit mountain and what I should base it off. I know Mount Huaguo is a real place but it can be debatable if Flower Fruit mountain in JTTW is even in China. So basically I am struggling with what place I should even base Flower Fruit mountain off but we will see what I decide to do eventually.
