Spring is coming; petani tidak menangis lagi..

flower buds is break, after ecodormancy been satisfied. 

Daily journey to lab and department.

Winter is almost at the end. Gainesville becoming much greener and warmer lately. There is no snow here to begin with, but the winter temperatures are among the coldest in 10 years. Other places? Morocco has snowing and becoming flooded (say Suhaizi Nebraska). In Melbourne, say Abdul Jabbar, the temperatures goes up to 80 F! (Highest in the history).

 After a long dormancy in Winter, bud chilling is satisfy during that time. Endo dormancy no more, it’s time for eco dormancy takes role.

 The environment will determine when the BUD will break. Cultivars/plant/ buds that doesn't meet the satisfaction is unable to break/ delay in bud break. This is a problem for high chill cultivars growth at Northern region. For low chilling cultivars, fluctuation of temperature (warm temperature) will causes Warm spells and then Cold spells occur and kill most of buds that break after enough in accumulating Growing Degrees Hour (GDH). Is there's a witch responsible for this? Nope! Temperature fluctuation.

 

Sky is much clearer now..

 

Altitude, Latitude, Longitude, Attitude?

 Are all 4 factors correlated? Check this statement,

"We know seasons changing are contributed by longitude and latitude. Assuming we are at same altitude; neglect able.

So then, seasons changing are directly correlated with clothes (attitude).

Resulting of Spring (low), summer (low) Fall (medium) Winter ( high)  in which, low; less clothes, medium; half cloth, and high; full body cover! (solehah gitu)"

 Extra efforts for eyes need to take accordingly..

No pain, no gain

my bicycles and backpad. There's a guy jogging 

Moreover, beauty on spring is not easily gain. It occurs after HOT summer, senescence leaf FALL, long COLD WINTER, and after that vernalization (for flowering plant like blueberries) only then buds can break. 

Only those who experiences the COLDNESS and dullness can appreciate the color of spring. It’s fair enough for temperate region, kan? 

Back home in Malaysia it is "summer" all year ( dry and wet season), but here, summer and spring somehow force people to understand the importance to survive, manage, planning, and thinking seriously almost about everything (bab duit je la kebanyakannya), including their fundamental resources. No pain no gain.

 

Return to lab cycles~

road to lab.. almost 

Indeed, we are 'farmers' of our own 'field'? We are growers of trees in heaven! Have we remember a hadith said when you tasbih, tahmid & takbir;

  "Subhanallahil Adziim wa bihamdih",

 Trees will be plant for us at Heaven at the very moment? Carefully choose for absolute faith as seeds and then fertilize them with good deeds. Mardthatillah as canopy from HOT arrogant & ignorance.

 

We all are farmers in respective field. Working to harvest major crops at land of eternity.

 

All living formed follow the law of nature (SUNNATULLAH) including us. We all are just like BUDS. A bud will not break without sufficient chilling. How can bud break?

After chilling out! Chill out!

  

Finally, growers/ Farmer- cry no more. (petani tidak menangis lagi)

This upcoming Spring, what intriguing me the most?

Strawberry! Of course!

note:  work in lab and greenhouse. hobby; visiting strawberry and peaches orchards. lol
