What is it eating??
It's hard to see but there is a Goldfinch upside down eating from a sunflower. #birdstr #photography

My theory is that when the wall street dads send their kids back to school, they start paying attention and seeing how good the value is on the bitcoin summer dip.
my theory is he is a pro bitcoin plant who shows people how dumb the anti bitcoin arguments are...
As promised: Mulberry #propagation via Semi-Hardwood Cuttings under mist in your #nursery.
Here is the final result: 61 mulberry cuttings from 5 branches collected a couple days ago. Intermittent mist 10 seconds every 10 minutes.

First we start off with our branch. Choose this year's wood. It will still be somewhat green at least in our area. You also want it to be over 6 weeks old should you do this earlier in the summer.

I chose this particular cutting because I loved the leaf shape. I chose some others because of the leaf size and health. Some leaves where I were had a fungus growing on them as well, only choose healthy ones since they will be growing so close in the nursery.
Mulberry is a "2-node" plant. Each leaf node will either be a leaf or roots so we make a cut leaving 2 leaf nodes on each cutting:

Now to clean it up a bit. We need to leave a leaf on the part of the branch that was furthest from the roots. We remove some of the leaf to reduce the moisture loss, and on the side we'll root, we remove the leaf by tearing it off (to create some damage) and also scrape the bark. This will help rooting.

Dip in some rooting hormone. I'm using Dip-n-Grow liquid at Semi-hardwood strength this time of year. I get it off of Amazon: https://amzn.to/3YMXv9n (I'm an affiliate and this was an affiliate link. You can click here to support me and help a pleb buy more rooting hormone! 😉 ) $16 worth of the stuff has lasted me about 1600-2000 cuttings.
Now stick in the sand bed under mist and you're done! They should be rooted in 6-8 weeks.
I also snagged a juniper branch on our walk and stuck 15 of those cuttings as well:

Please let me know if you have any questions or comments!

Do you know what type of Mulberry tree they are? Does it matter? We have white mulberry trees that grow like crazy on our property but I read that they are not as desirable. Not sure why though. We have a giant one on the other side of the pasture but I let a few grow closer to our house hoping they'll give us some fruit or at least bird watching.
nope nope. I have a stealth garter snake named Frank that knows I don't want to see him. We keep a healthy distance away.
Why don't my posts work?
I was so certain that NGU by now. The only thing that keeps me going are the gold bull/bitcoin bear posts. That's gotta be a bottom signal.
It didn't work for me. It's possible mine was just glitchy or we were never able to troubleshoot it properly but all my calls were fuzzy and the texts didn't come in reliably. if you have extra money to give it a try, it might be worth it. They've also made a lot of upgrades so it might be better.
what keeps you from adding the bad stuff to the good phone? or being on the bad phone too much? I have tried many ways of breaking my phone addiction with no success. I even got a wise phone and a light phone but they were not even good for calls or texts which was a problem.
