Jackson’s Journal (5/6/09) – The Arch

Good morning SuperForest!

Today has been a busy one.
We just received the German translation of the Humanifesto, which master Spoon is typing up as we speak. A huge thank you to SuperForester Susanne who did the translating.

The French version just came in as well! Bravo, SuperForester Marie-Paule! I’ll have that formatted and up with great haste!

I spent the afternoon in the fine company of the 4fives, (whose blog is looking excellent,) and we learned about the arch and how very useful it is. I’m working on a grand ol’ post about that.

SuperForester Severine called and told me that in reference to my ravishing rescued rosemary plants, a good idea is to take a pice of willow tree bark and soak it in water for an hour to the release salycilic acid. If one dips a cutting into this mixture, the acid provokes a hormonal response in the plant, and the plant responds by sending out shoots! Thanks for the tip, Sevvy! Botany win!

I hope everyone is having a great day.

Much love,

Jackson
