these peas are very similar to natives i guess, no bugs chowin on them and soooo sweet too?  the experiment of using sunflowers for trellis timing was off, (volunteer too early, purpose too late) but they don’t hate each other so far…

double strength?

is there a name for this? i have 2 ladies doing this on a few stems each, finishing their flower, starting nice healthy seeds, then a second bud grows right thru the middle?  harvesting the petals as they fade for some experiments.

sneaky boat from china

these cells are 40Ah each, and supposedly the factory had to custom make them in this size again.  would make a nice pack for a portable TIG welder, but instead i reubuilt this pack for an electric motorcycle.  full testing tomorrow, but for now, it looks like i did it not wrong. :)
