    My cotton plants have been exhausted of their "fruits" but with all the rain....

    .......the plants have produced more bolls and are flowering again. Is this unusual?  Or am I just ignorant?

    ....no, you are not ignorant; you are learning.

    Have a wee read of this, it might explain it...http://sanangelo.tamu.edu/extension/agronomy/agronomy-publications/how-a-cotton-plant-grows/

    Wow. Exactly what I've been needing to know! (And I thought I knew a lot-Ha!) Gonna re-read and study every word and pass this into a cotton growing friend who has had little luck so far. Thanks!

    I admire people who continue on with life long learning. I also think it is so much fun to learn new things. You'll learn all about it eventually. Sorry, I can't help you.

    Maybe the plants are confused by the weather..>>>>>>>><<<<<<<<..

    You can strip the plant of leaves and everything else and it will grow leaves and everything else again. Cotton is a woody plant that will grow into a tree. I see it every year after cotton plants get stripped. First cotton plants are sprayed with a chemical to make it drop leaves. Then stripper machines go through and strip cotton off plants. Weeks later leaves start growing out. What kills the plant is freezing weather. A cotton plant will grow to a tree about 20 feet tall if given adequate conditions. Look for colored cotton next year to grow.

    Thank you so much, Z. How interesting. So I should get continuous cotton as long as the weather holds out? Wow. I've been harvesting as the cotton is produced and funny thing is, where I planted what I knew to be white seeds (regular and "hairless"), the cotton is brown. Both there and where I planted my brown seeds. I also have green cotton. Very little white after all compared to the colored. Oh, I also purchased a cotton carder (and spinning wheel). I'm ready for more! Again, thank you!

    Color has long been an important element of the Doxa dive watch range. link So much link so that the brand's various colorways even have their own names. Orange Try "Professional." Yellow That's "Divingstar." And now you can add "Whitepearl" to the link list as Doxa's entry-level model the Sub 200 now comes in a fully white version.
