Thanks P, but I always see a LOT of ROOM for improvement.
Thanks. Some of my Primos have long really skinny tails, while the scorpion tails are much thicker and none of my scorps are as pimpled as the Primo pods.my trinidad scorpions look like your 7pot primos. Wonder if I somehow was given the wrong seed. Given so I am not arguing. As always your pods look wonderful.
Thanks Megamoo. SR are the initials of a generous lady from Trinidad who first supplied the seed for this strain to members here.Nice pods

Thank you SS, I'm planning on making the plant spacing more generous next season so the harvests will require much less effort.Really nice work there...
Howdy gnslngr. Appreciated.OKAY......does " W O W !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" qualify as good reply?
cheers-

That, and the pleasure derived from watching the growth from such tiny seed.That's what keeps us coming back year after year my friend.
Thanks Timmy, I'm sure you'll have plenty soon enough.Wow
Great pic's of an amazing harvest SS
I wish I had that table full
The golden tortoise beetle is a stunning, vibrant metallic gold color. It has a magical quality, not only because of the brilliance of its color, but also because the brilliance isn't permanent. Metriona can alter color within a short time period, turning from brilliant gold to a dull, spotty reddish color. The gold color also fades when the insect dies. What controls the color while the insect is alive is an intriguing question. The gold color is caused by a thin layer of moisture between the cuticle and an inner layer of the elytra. Apparently the insect is able to "voluntarily" squeeze this layer, reducing its thickness and eliminating the gold color. This change also occurs involuntarily when the beetle is under moisture stress and when it dies.
A bit smaller than the more familiar ladybird beetles, the golden tortoise beetle is configured somewhat like a safari hat with a narrow "shelf" skirting the outside of the wing covers and thorax. This "shelf" causes the resemblance to a tortoise, hence the name. Tortoise beetles are plant eaters, like most Chrysomelids [leaf beetles]. The golden tortoise beetle in particular feeds on morning glory.
Thanks Oscar, that bug really catches the eye. It's a love bug!Wow thats some nice pictures! Love that bug!
You are up for some hot winter
They are labeled as PI 441598. The bug is fully grown and about 70% the size of a lady bug.Wow , another spectacular harvest....what are the white/ivory colered pods?
Hope that bug doesn't get any bigger...
An army of those would be a welcome site since morning glories are prolific bothersome weeds here and their leaves are the bugs preferred diet.Good god SS, what will you do with all the pods!
That beetle is really awesome looking. It would nice if they ate other bugs instead of leaves, can you imagine an army of golden warriors keeping your garden safe!?
Pick a few more pods he says. Like Warren Buffett has a few bucks. Dang SS.
Thanks Cappy, you supplied many of the seeds that got me started down this hot road.Just Wow S_S! The size of your harvests and the healthy looking pods you deserve a gold medal let alone a gold bug. Expert gardening done right.
Yeah, hopefully next season the plants won't be such a pain to pick. I'm thinking of spraying the plants with a spicy mixture next season to deal with the deer.Looks like the season went very well. You also determined what row- width will work best for you next season. Add to that the dehydrator and you are more than ready for the next sowing season. Only thing that can't be accounted for is our friends- the deer.
You're sure you didn't dig that bug out of an egyptian tomb?
It's all relative P.Pick a few more pods he says. Like Warren Buffett has a few bucks. Dang SS.
More like a couple of hours crawling through fire ants.Yeah makes it sound like it wasn't a couple hours of crawling through heaven.
This hobby certainly has a way of sucking you in deeper every season.Haha wow cant believe you waited this long to get a professional dehydrator! That is an awesome looking beetle!
I'll never be able to grow in your league, but just by sheer luck got a dehydrator like yours. Was determined to get a steel one and seemed like the best deal around. Would be interested to hear any tips and tricks you use, cutting methods, time frames to dry, etc. I've been going through the other forums for info, also. Thanks in advance....
