so tall
Chances of rain coming up = supply run to Alpine. 74 of 100 ingots have been finished and mailed off. Needed a day to let my fingertips heal from the polishing routine. Bought some special tape to protect them for the final assault. Got a huge sotol bloom just south of the greenhouse. This is the tallest I have seen out here...and you can make some killer booze out of the plant. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sotol 91,102,75,0,B,.36
John,
ReplyDeleteA pair of leather garden/work gloves will also work for the polishing. They won't last forever, but will do the trick. It's what we used in the goldsmithing studio I learned in. What kind of tape are you using?
operative word, killer
ReplyDeleteIs that an ocotillo next to it (on the right)? Love those. Incredible thorns. Fingers crossed you get rain!
ReplyDeleteMine came today it's lovely.
