As we can plainly see in this before-and-after example, my maters are a good three inches below the diffuser when I last raised it on Sunday the 24th. Now this evening as the picture on the right shows, the maters are raising the roof - they're not only up to the diffuser, they're trying to go around it. Put it another way, these maters are growing 3/4's of an inch a day!!!
Nothing to be ashamed of here ... NUH UH!!!

OOH that Mater Master has taken a lesson from me in how to get the competition posting! Well done Pop! Mike your maters look nice and green and leafy too. Hard to tell the size of yours and Pop's cause there aint no point of reference. If you two are really proud of your maters you'll post a self-mater portrait like I did. But only if you're really proud...
ReplyDeleteYep, nice maters Mike. Nice and tall. Certainly taller than mine. But none the less, I remain proud, head held high and marching toward victory! You can hear the drum beat in the background.
ReplyDeleteOh Sherrie, you keep throwing down the gauntlet, and I would gladly pick it up BUT, I have no idea of what the challenge is to be. I know what a self portrait is, a photo I take of myself. But a self-mater portrait. Surely you are not suggesting that my maters take pictures of themselves! They are big and strong but.. they got no hands. Or are you wanting me to be in the photo with my maters? Don't know! No - that can't be it. But what am I to do?
Really now! The pressure must be getting to you! You don't like the lenses I use, you don't like the photo angle I use, you don't like the pictures of the maters I take... NO "point of reference" in my photos she says. Whew, I feel sorry for the "Investor". He must really have to deal with a lot "don't likes.".
Oh and Mike, thanks for the worm's eye view of your maters. But, did you get that angle approved yet by the Manual Mater Maker? It may not qualify! It might get stricken from the records.
I am compelled to remind both of you that the beer does not go to the mater with the highest leaf. It goes to the first tomato. So you two can keep working toward the Jack and the Bean Stalk award, but I going for the beer!
The Mater Master should try his hand in politics cause he's sure good at dancing around the question! Although no tree huggers would vote for him. Nor Al Gore. I get it, he's too shamed to be photographed with his babies. I understand. Bigger wont win it, you're right. Only better... fortunately for me, I gots both!
ReplyDeleteHow bout you Mater Matic...you too shamed to be photographed with yours??
Oh and by the way, you're right... although a very cool perspective, that worms eye view aint cutting it. Lets put some skin in the game and put yo butt beside yo maters men!!
ReplyDeleteYou're right Sher - Y'all did get a response from me. But what both of you failed to realize is that I wasn't the only one listening. My maters are now officially p**sed off. How do I know? They are now all on a mission. They're growing with a vengence - I'm not kidding.
ReplyDeleteTonight when I came home and took a peek inside the Mater Matic, they were all heave-ho'ing against the diffuser. They literally had lifted it up! Two of them had managed to get their arms around the top of the thing. It was like watching in slow motion a bunch of leprechauns trying to toss a manhole cover. I took the hint and carefully removed it from their path.
There's no way I can keep them in the Mater-Matic over the weekend. I'm sure if I did I'd come home to find them swallowing the growlight. Easily another inch of growth over yesterday - easily. If they had caps and gowns they'd be wearing them tomorrow, because they are graduating to their pickle buckets in the morning.
So yeah, I agree, it's HIGH time (pardon the pun) I took a self-portrait WITH my maters. And even with me being a stout dude I am not the least bit worried of diminishing the sheer size (and resolve) of my maters!
More tomorrow ...

If you stuck me in that aquarium I'd be p**sed too. They've had it with the Mater Matic and are going rogue. Attack of the killer tomatoes! You are probably safer with them outside where they can't get you!
ReplyDeleteTell them congratulations on winning their freedom. Go Garage Maters!!
