Default Re: In the beginning, the plant site was empty

I've been working about an hour or two a day for the last week cleaning up my banana plat, and finished just before sundown today. I filled 11 barrels with extra pups, leaves, and weeds to take the greenery facility. In the photo below:

1. unseen behind me is a Dwarf Orinoco pup.
2. on the immediate right is the "Bencelest" banana holding fruit (behind stalk) and its pup sticking 3 leaves in the picture.
3. about a meter past it is an African Rhinohorn pup about 1 meter tall.
4. then visually behind the leaves of the A.R. pup you see the fresh stump of the Misi Luki Awak and a 2 meter tall pup growing out behind it.
5. behind that and just barely to the left is the thin stalk of a new Dwarf Namwah coming up.
6. way down at the end on the left side of the plat you might be able to discern the 10cm wide stalk of a 2nd generation Dwarf Brazilian.



Now just for fun, here's how the plat looked from the opposite end (elevated view) about 2 years ago:
