Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

Most plant responses are controlled by cytokinens, auxins and gibberellins, which control how the plant grows. There are plant growth regulators available to help greenhouse growers control how the plants grow.

The items you mention are both natural sources of nitrogen, which would encourage stem and leaf growth actually.

Thanks, LAJ. That was nicely done. I'm always amazed at the patience it takes to put all those snippets together into a well-synced video.

Understood. I used to spray our plugs with B Nine to regulate growht and get a hardier, more compact retail product. And we only grew ornamentals, not edibles.

Yeah, she'll tolerate chemicals on the flowers, except the ones near the pear tree. :sigh:

Tell you the truth, it does feel good to know you're eating totally healthy stuff.

I agree, Billy. Not my favorite song, but it worked well in this instance.

I did not like the semi-church/cult-like statement of "People who work here come from many different backgrounds. Some of them used to belong to unions" because- to me anyway- it made union membership sound on the level of shooting smack or beating your wife. I sometimes wonder if anyone else in orientations analyzes the films for casting, technique, and subtext. Probably not.

No idea yet, but I'm going to say that will likely hold true. The more I look at this the more I kind of think this other girl was right to take the Crafts and Celebrations department. I'm not looking to change though I probably could as they keep talking about how easy that is; I'm just considering the reality that my department contains so much potential for injury and death and destruction. I'm going to have to make sure the bike builders are doing their job right or someone could die. If we sell kittens to someone who shouldn't have them, someone could die. The worst Jessica can probably do is enable sad parties and bad needlework and that most likely won't end in death unless they've visited my department first.

...where the hell am I ? Is this the "indoor grow for killer weed" thread ?
More to the point, what is the mysterious origin of @jsharr's wealth and offshore account resources ?

Those crappy old non cabron fiber bikes are obviously a cover for a darker reality.

Flying or dancing beats walking but Walken dancing and flying is the most excellent. This video goes out to all the customers in the Sporting Goods department. When the zombie apocalypse hits, we're gonna be set cuz what you really need is an easily refueled vehicle like a bike to transport you and your weapon of choice.

That video is why I really appreciated the other video. Hell, that and Suicide Kings. And the watch scene in Pulp Fiction. And, and, and.. Who am I kidding. Walken needs to go into the Smithsonian or something, because there's only one.
