Cache 52

So my stuff arrived yesterday. It weighed 52 kgs and VRL logistics were efficient enough to deliever it within 3-4 days since, the packages began their journey from Bangalore. (It's a different story that they  took an almostsimilar time, in finally handing me over my consignment as they unprofessionally and laboriously struggled with the paper work. No cribs still.). But before that...a little something that I learnt the evening prior. My best friend (MBF) had dropped in. As the evening matured, I reluctantly spoke of mybitintheplace. He saw it...and commented on the chosen template (Ethereal, if I'm not wrong). More specifically, he enlightened on the weaver birds seen in the template. So how it goes in the Indian context is...and I quote, (read Ctrl+C/ Ctrl+V) from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baya_weaver  

"The nests are partially built before the males begin to display to passing females by flapping their wings and calling while hanging from their nests. The females inspect the nest and signal their acceptance of a male. Once a male and a female are paired, the male goes on to complete the nest by adding the entrance tunnel. Males are almost solely in charge of nest building, though their female partners may join in giving the finishing touches, particularly on the interiors. Females may modify the interiors or add blobs of mud. A study has found that nest location is more important than nest structure for the female when it selects the nest and mate. Females prefer nests high in trees, those over dry land, and those on thin branches."  Unquote. I like  to see a connection here. 

So here's how it looked when it just arrived:

And this is how, when I opened it up:

By way of introduction...here's a disassembled grow bed...

When assembled it becomes this...

This would be filled with the coco-peat bales (each weighs 5 kgs) and watered for the coco-peat to get to a non-sticky soil like consistency. The bale looks like...

Meanwhile...at least 5 seeds have promisingly unshackled. Methi, French Bean, Rucola (aka rocket leaves), Cucumber and Golden Yellow Squash (aka golden zucchini). Isn't it a miracle!!!!??? And I very fondly and aptly recall here my friend quoting another friend (possibly quoting from someplace else), 'the mighty oak you see was one nut who stood his ground'.
