I think Gem should make a series of short 1-5 minute long documentaries on all the hermits as Anthropologist Gem, talking about their quirks, bases and hobbies. It would be a really good introduction to the hermits while building on her lore!
BOOST! BOOST!
Yes
Boost it!
I suspect that this was for one of the new mission possible missions.
@@marckiezeender No it was very clearly a bit that Pearl was in on.
Gem: "Stop asking for pickles! You don't even need them!"
Pearl: "Nice argument. Unfortunately, I'm in your walls."
Literally lmao
Unfortunately FIREBALL
😂🤣😂
🤣
Based and Brunopilled /ref
Capturing Pearl die to a tree without her noticing is pure gold
Gem says grian has lost it but seeing gem lose her mind over pearls need for pickles was the highlight of my day
The bit about Etho “who seems to be washed up on shore”
Was genius and made me laugh out loud. That was an amazing pun.
I didn't even catch that lol
😂
Poor Etho, catching strays even when he uploads
Of all of the ways to bring that back...
Also, that room was already there when Pearl planted her traps. Who knows for how long Gem waited for a chance to use this.
Can some9ne explain, I think I missed the joke
Grian in the Rain: Fishing
Grian in the snow: Fishing
Grian in the Sun: Fishing
Grian on Sunday: fishing
Grian on sunday between 12 and 1 PM: Working at the permit office.
But he also takes a half hour lunch break when he works!
Grian when Gem is playing Dredge: Fishing
Sounds like a stardew valley npc
I love how Grian's fisherman craziness actually fits perfectly with your Dredge lore! He's basically one of your NPC's come to life.
One of my favourite things this season is how well the two bases of Gem and Grian merge together.
The fact that they equate to different aspects of fishing cities. The docks and industrial side vs the living area
I will never get tired of Hermits studying each other like zoo animals. They each think _they're_ the normal one. 😂
Gem: This horrible weather!
Grian: *THE ELEMENTS OF GOD WILL NOT CONSTRAIN ME FROM MY FISHING*
He's British, it's his natural habitat
lol
Grian is being smart, rain boosts fishing speed
I am the fisherman of the sea Posideon quivered befor me
I rather thought a light rain was the perfect time to fish (not that the storm he was out in qualifies as "light" in any way)
Grian hasn't lost it, he never had it in the first place.
239 like no reply’s let me change that
😂
HELP THE BEGINNING
I love seeing the behind the scenes of hermit's videos through other hermit's pov, they always look so silly.
The artist being a little deranged is very much a classic Lovecraft thing. Which I imagine Dredge pulls on to build atmosphere. Since most of the Cthulhu mythos was spawned from Lovecraft’s absolute terror of the ocean.
Maybe you could give them a diary in the house that builds on what kind of creature of the deep is out there.
That's just normal British weather, summoned by the British fisher
No it summon British fishermen Grian
A Brisher, if you will.
Grian is letting his British blood allow him to fish in the rain
The shiver down Pearl's spine when she discovered the Etho in the observation cage was hilarious
Pearl: it a Etho shrine
Me: it is ekspektet bye this time
Pearl literally is just losing diamonds by leaving the pickles she bought. I love it. She's screwing herself over!!! LMAO
But the joke of it is pure gold😂
I’ve been doing permaculture for years! So glad you’re into growing your own food.
Some tips
1. You can reuse soil for a different type of crop in the following years to save money and get more out of your soil.
2. You can layer your crops! Try growing peas above, and carrots below to get some extra space.
3. Trimming the bushes and vining crops at the perfect time can encourage more branching which means you will get more produce once the plant transitions to flowering and fruiting.
4. Save your seed. It may mean leaving a little bit of your crops unharvested, but then you will get free plants in the following season, and those plants will be genetically predisposed to growing in your pots in your home. Your plants will get better and better over time if you save seed.
5. Compost your waste materials and use them to boost your plants at fruiting/flowering times. This also means that when you weed, just throw the weeds back onto the pot to give the nutrients back (weed stuff before it starts to seeds if you’re gonna do this)
6. Hand pollinating flowers may help if there isn’t a lot of plant life to support insects in the area. It’s a very fun and cute activity.
omg thanks so much, I wanna get started soon
i’m from canada you can extend your growing season by starting plants inside (try February to May depending on how long your desired plant takes) we started brussel sprouts in february to hopefully get them grown before first frost in september. seedlings take very little space a window sill or a table by the window can grow a lot in smaller containers before being transplanted later into their final home.
Gem: You know what would really finish off this build?
Me: Sea Pickles
That’s what I said when she said she was gonna add some flowers to the trees
Gem: Ugh what a horrible weather to log on to the server
Also Gem: I wish I could keep this weather all the time! :D
As someone who lives in a place where it rains a lot, the sentiment of "This weather is terrible. I love it!" is relatable.
I love Pearl and Gem's dynamic so much! it's so very easy to tell they're great friends and I love that. The pickles bit has killed me so many times already! 😂✨
If it killed you so many times, how you posting this comment?
Are you a ghost?! 😱
The way Grian’s crazy fishing lore could fit into Gem’s dredge aesthetic
A small tip for the keep out signs on the door, if you use unicode squares or circles on the ends/ corners of the signs, then put grey dye and glow ink it looks like you have nails in the signs holding them up. Doing them slightly uneven make it looks like it was quickly and lazily put up.
I was thinking the same sort of thing :D
@@sootycat2740 For me it was something i came up with a few months back because of seeing hermits always use unicode, but found it odd that iv never actually seen a hermit do it to emulate nails on a build for things like boarded up windows/ doors.
Same, surprised people don’t do it that often
Custom audio has been one of my favourite things this season. Ren's horns, Pearl's pickle pranks and the ambience custom mob heads provide to areas is just incredibly fun.
393 likes and no comment?! I got u fam👍
Cub is the one making the horns, unless Ren is doing something I dunno about
"Washed up on shore" is the best joke in this episode, which is already full of great moments
I would add a couple of mud brick half slabs to the roof of the beach house, it’ll give it a bit less of an “island getaway” look and more of a “this is straw being held together into roof form by mud” look! 🧡🧡
0:10 I don’t think Grian was ever normal, he’s just getting progressively weirder and weirder.
I think he was always this weird, he just didn't show it at first
@@AmyScott-oz5cq exactly! well phrased my friend :)
Gem gonna be a pickle made millionaire by the time the season ends lmao
at the expense of her soul
You could almost say a Dillionaire
Just drain Pearl of all her diamonds... 😂
@@alanah4974 That joke was a little cumbersome.
Side note: I just realized that, not only do people think Grian and Gem have sibling like energy, but Grian's first shop in his first season of Hermitcraft (season 6) was a Pickle shop filled with pickle based jokes/puns.
@@fnaffoxy1987 You could alternatively say… a little cucumbersome
A rancher here with some horticulture tips (especially for peppers). Anything tropical or sub-tropical aligned such as peppers, avocados, melons, güisquil. Since you’re gardening growing these is best inside; either in a pot or another container of choice. Eventually the leaves for them will toughen up enough that they can resist the cold or frisky weather (as long it’s not too extreme, of course). Then once they’re mature enough they’ll be safe enough outside. If it’s near a window or an area that gets enough sunlight that’ll be perfect for the seedling to sprout and grow. I live in an area where the weather is pretty unpredictable every year, and this strategy has saved me hundreds if not more from buying new seeds and plants constantly.
I’d recommend growing herbs like mint, thyme, and sage. They’re great in tisanes and they are pretty tough plants. They’ll resist very abrupt weather.
Anyway Gem love your vids. Keep up with the amazing content!
I think a tavern would be a great addition to the village! A place for drawn up sailors, travellers, adventurers and merchants to rest their heads overnight as the waters are too treacherous to navigate in the dark.
A pro tip for your peas. Harvest them when they are still on the small side. They are always sweeter and much tastier! If you let them get too big they can get a bit bitter and too dry. But I do agree growing things in your own garden and eating it is the best!
And if you haven't already, peas like to climb on a trellis of sorts since they are a vine. Lots of water helps them produce fruit, too!
@@KageSilver Yes yes! Trellis your peas, make sure local pollinators can get to the flowers (bees love them!). Like custom trees, you want to leave some air for your peas :3 It makes them easier to harvest and makes it so pollinators can get to the flowers more easily!
It's more of an in-ground gardening thing, but if you want to get more into it, look into companion planting. One year, I grew my peas around a sunflower, and they both thrived for it. The peas' nitrogen fixation helped the sunflower grow stronger and taller, and the sunflower provided a natural trellis for the pea vines. (Sunflowers have some pretty deep roots, though, especially the tall ones, so they're not super container-friendly.)
Another plant type to consider branching into -- herbs! Thyme is nice and hardy, and my local native bees love it. Fair warning, though... if you grow mint? KEEP IT ISOLATED IN CONTAINERS. DO NOT PLANT IT IN THE GROUND. Mint is FAMOUS for spreading like gangbusters and being hard to eliminate once it gets in a garden bed. Keep it pruned. Keep it contained. You'll have lovely fresh mint for days, but watch out for it attempting to escape! X3
Another plant that does well in containers -- strawberries! Look for mountain or alpine varieties; they're smaller, but much more cold-hardy and full of flavor. I had three plants that I kept alive and producing indoors for six lovely years, hand-pollinating the flowers with paintbrushes.
@liataislibrary6667 Some strawberries are perennials, too. Some herbs are, too, if you want to let them run wild in their own container. You just need to make sure you insulate it well for the winter with foliage or other covers.
Yeah, peas need something to climb for stability, or they'll topple. Strawberries are great too, but I've found is that tomatoes in a deeper container??? They do fantastic. You can have fun with different varieties each year, they give you fresh tomatoes, and they're so lush. The give harvest surprisingly long into fall in Toronto, so I think you'll have no problem whatsoever letting them thrive Gem. Just water a lot, and plant in early spring! :)
"Is he fishing?!"
Que ominous lightly strike.
I love that Grian is just finding in a thunderstorm, unaware of the lightning striking around him😂😂😂
I love how Gem, Skizz and Grians builds all compliment eachother so well. Skizz' pyramid will be like a cool temple next to Gems horrible village and Grian is a great example of a citizen in a horrible sea village. Weird old fisherman outside the village if you will. Everything just looks so good together.
A jungle is slowly creeping over Gem's base and I love it. A rainforest pirate cove is such a vibe.
Skizz's pyramid is going to fit right in as well
@@jonathanasdell4539 It's like a massive jungle temple!
8:15 you know what I love? When there's an official path, built with stones and all or whatever, but it's so inconvenient that people just take a straighter line until it's visible as a path in the grass. I think that would make for a really nice detail for your paths!
There's actually a term for that! They're called desire paths. So cool that it's a common enough phenomenon that it has a name! X3
@@liataislibrary6667so common in fact that multiple universities in the US (and I would imagine elsewhere) actually used it to plan their sidewalks!
MIT, UNC, MSU, and Berkeley are a few campuses that waited until students had begun to form their own paths in the directions they wanted before either installing new or replacing the old sidewalks.
@@DH-xw6jpapparently Disney parks also did that!
I love the tropical vibes of the fishing village! Also, I had a good laugh when seeing your reaction to Pearl's prank! And finally, thank you for sharing with us your IRL summer adventures!
23:05 I think a little vendor cart on the other side of the path would be super cute! Like a shop keeper having a sale cart or something!
gem creating a base chock full of unknown horrors and creatures of the deep, failing to consider that the real horror was there all along........grian
Struggling to decide whether or not gem knows it’s an actual tradition to hide a pickle in your Christmas tree
I do! I have a christmas pickle, we hide it every christmas eve
@@GeminiTayMCperfect idea!
Nice! My family does too!
Wait that’s a thing? Omg I’ve never heard of that actually.
How does that work? What do you do with the pickle after it's found?
Tips for your garden:
You can grow peppers in the windowcill if you want
Dont forget to put a lage climbing stick in the pot with the peas! They can grow up to 2 meters
Something to add to the side of the house could be some sort of line extending to the tree with banners hanging from it that are half destroyed, like it's the artists work that they used to display there before going crazy.
Something to hang ominously overhead and ground the space while not being too enclosed like another roof/balcony
Boat: exists
Lightining: why won't it SINK
Grian fishing in a thunder storm is EVERYTHING
Nothing will keep that man from his fishing
Big mood
@Spinox44321 Indeed. 😂
oh my god is he fishing!
LIGHTNING ⚡️
He realized he needs a second mending book...
The look in Grian’s eyes at the beginning is so Dredge! Reminds me of the comments people will make in that game when you’ve gone mad from being out on the sea too long.
Not advice but when I was young I grew peas and we had a big pea trellis on the side of our house. My dad made up a song about it that went like “Pea trellis, pea trellis, everybody’s jealous of our pea trellis.” XD
green glass for the head jars would make it look like its floating around in green liquid, plus white glass can be like bubbles
This is brilliant! Hope Gem sees this. 👍
I did something like this recently but with honey blocks inside glass blocks. Looks great.
I was using block display entities so I even got a glass pane for a mug handle, but I don't think armor stands give control over the block state.
As the Pickel Queen recycling all the pickle jars is not only good for the environment but reusing the "Green" glass will help preserve the heads floating inside
Honestly, Gen's mic being pushed away during the second pickle part is super funny.
"I'm going to lose it" - Gem. I'm already losing it laughing without waking others up.
Gem cosplaying the scientist from dredge that looks like Gem is just gold!
2:50-4:20 “Hey Gem, u got any pickles”
Gem: 🤦♀️
🤣🤣
I wonder if she knows it's a reeference to the duck song. Because it's so much funnier and add more depth when you know the context.
@@niello5944why would you say such a thing?! Now it’s stuck in my head for the rest of the day
@@niello5944 the pearl walked up to the Gemini stand and said to the gem at the stand
Hey
Got any pickles?
@@reubenthenerd1815 the gem said "no, now will you please go away? you've been driving me crazy with these pickles all day!"
the pearl said "...okay!"
then she waddled away, waddle waddle
'til the very next day, bum bum bum bum badadum
Hey gem....
Gem's little village: Artsy, quaint, anthropological(?)
Mumbo's little village: Eclectic, business-y, BIG RON
I was fully expecting Gem to go pvp Pearl for the pickle shenanigans, not begin a case study XD
I don't think Gem will see this but there is actually a type of orchid that flowers on top of jungle trees because sunlight doesn't get through the thick canopy!
I think a cool thing to add to the base in order to make it creepier would be missing posters. Maybe the archeologist came across a curse and their house is more abandoned looking and there’s missing posters of them scattered around?
Gardening wisdom:
1. Leafy greens grow great in climates with a shorter growing season like Newfoundland. They grow quick too! You can easily fit two harvests in a season, one from May to early July, and one from mid July to September (you can still plant some now!).
2. Next year, to take your potted plant game to the next level, start studying soil acidity, drainage levels, and NPK requirements of plants (it sounds super intimidating but it's rather simple once you understand it!). This opens up the world of potted berry plants or other picky plants as well as making your own compost, which I find very rewarding.
Yes! Excellent tips, also note that leafy greens are easy to grow hydroponically which could help save space, but either investing the money in a pre built system or investing the time and research to build your own could deter some people. And learning about NPK seemed scary to me at first, but I bought a cheap soil testing kit online and started nurturing my soil only a bit (and probably not perfectly) and in the years since my plants have THRIVED!!! So to any gardeners out there I can't stress enough how helpful it is to even do a few quick Google searches about how to optimize your soil :)
Oooh I think I can add to this! I have some difficulty getting my soil to be more acidic (blueberries love that) so I recently started adding coffee grounds to some of my soil.
You know what else you could add to your foliage? Pickles!
A tip for your garden if you don’t already know is that you always want to alternate your plants, your peppers might be doing bad if you planted them in the same soil/pot as last year ❤❤ hope that helps 😊😊
Gem: I think there may be something wrong with my neighbour
Me: you just realised this now??!!
😂
GRIANS FISHING ARC CONTINUES
Peppers are perennial! They can be overwintered in colder climates by cutting back the branches and roots and bringing them inside. We have a habanero that's 4 years old now! I highly recommend looking into it since you already grow them in pots.
Also, some greenhouse plastic draped over tomato cages may work as a cold frame for your potted stuff. Depends how big the pots are, I suppose
gem in hardcore: UGH RAIN
gem in hermitcraft: ah i love the rain :]
Hooray! An update to the creepy fishing village 😂
My tip for growing peas--don't let the actual pod/peas get too large. They're tastier in my opinion when they're smaller and younger. ALSO, peas are really easy to propagate by letting a couple pods dry on the vine and then saving seeds for the next year. There's something extra special about growing something from a seed you harvested yourself! 😊 GOOD LUCK 😊
WAKE UP GUYS GEM POSTED
IM UP
Already up. Have work.
honestly
@@justagirlwithautism4960I‘M AWAKE
Yesss I'm up
I love to hear about peoples experiences with gardening! Especially with sugar snap peas since when I was growing up my grandparents lived in the country side about 20 minutes away and I remember I would walk along their gardens with my sisters and their old dog and pick and eat the peas straight off of the plant! A few tips for them is to make sure that they get quite a bit of sunlight and make sure the soil never fully dries out! They also might not be growing as well because there needs to be a bit of space in between each plant but I think that if they are all in individual pots they’ll be fine! I hope that your gardening goes amazingly! ❤️
Edit: I saw someone say something about when to pick them and I’d like to add that ripe peas are bright in color as well as crisp and sweet. If you wait until the peas are too large inside the pods, the pods get pretty tough and stringy. Harvest any over-ripe pods you see, as well, to encourage your plant to produce new peas. ❤
Your "Scientist Gem" skin is incredible! Props to the artist. :3
0:25 Well, of course, he is anxious about his acceptance to the Council of GRAIN
Huh?
Poultry Man was accepted for some reason, I think Fisherman Grian will have no problem.
Who is this Grain character?
Quick old season lore for people that not aware, people would put Grian name on signs as Grain, for the people who did not get that bit.
Love the new buildings.
I have 6 raised beds and several pots for vegetables this year as well as a flower bed that wraps around 3/4 of my house. Growing tomatoes, zucchini, cucumbers, watermelon, peppers (also not doing well), onions, garlic, corn and giant sunflowers.
If your peas are of the climbing variety, you'll have to trellis them so they don't collapse under their own weight.
One thing about growing peppers is that you can get two years out of a lot of the plants, which definitely gives them a head start in their second year! Look up overwintering peppers--when they're in beds you have to dig em up, heavily prune, and replant in a pot to move into a cool spot indoors (in zones that freeze) but maybe if you're already using grow bags you can just prune? I put mine in the garage over the coldest months and had 2 out of 3 survive this year! The 2 year plant is 2.5 ft tall and around (it was printed back to 2 10" branches) and I've gotten 2 dozen peppers off it. The new starts (same variety) I put in this spring are barely a foot tall and have maybe done 2 peppers each.
Gem: Is he FISHING?!
*thunder crashes and lightning flashes*
I grow tomatoes, peppers, squash, leafy greens and herbs. I also can and preserve a lot of my crops. My biggest tip is don't try and do too much at once. Add a little bit each year and know exactly what you are going to do with the produce. That way you don't have 10 lbs of harvest and nothing to cook
The irony of gem doing a mission possible task without actually pulling the task, is quite funny.
Wait, I just assumed that gem got that task and didnt tell us
Maybe she can get retroactive credit!
What task are you talking about?
@@koatomasbezdek4860 Hermit Missions that Iskal created.
@@AlishaDianeJordanOlin I think they were asking which mission specifically.
"Hey Gem, you got any pickles?"😂
Im from BC (i had no idea you were also Canadian!) and one of my favourite things to grow is strawberries. I don’t have to replant them, they come back every year. I actually remember my grandmother telling me to pile on snow if there wasn’t enough on our strawberry patches because it keeps them insulated through the winter. Its just so satisfying seeing them grow bright red 🥰
And basil i have never gone wrong with. Its pretty easy and nice and pretty
Pearl’s prank had me laughing out loud. Especially the quiet mic at 16:21 with Gem’s exasperation really had me 😂
The pickle mystery of pearlescent moon has stumped the great scientist gem… 🥒
this is by far the most peaceful episode ever. gem got to really work around her base without any visitors. LIKE, that is so rare compared to the other episodes 😭
The cold open was gold! I love that Gem's whole Dredge themed base comes with her own spooky fisherman neighbor
I just bought Dredge and I don't think I've had this much fun playing a video game in YEARS. The art style, the perfect mix of comfort and horror, the ambiance, it's no wonder why you chose it as the inspiration for your base! I'm obsessed with everything you're doing! ⚓️
I love how if anything odd happens on the server it's either Doc or Zedaph.
You know what would go great instead of air blocks inside your leaves? Pickles.
So Gem is an SCP scientist, Etho's washed up, Bdubs has pulled a Judge Judy, Doc's playing Skyblock in the Hermitcraft server, and Grian is being Grian, but the Permit HQ is haunting him..
I loved the anthropologist/scientist bit, always fascinating to observe hermits in their natural habitat and to study their behaviour.
The pickles though…she got you good there 😅😅😅
5:13 this man is washed up... on shore 😂😂 gem you genius!
the entire horror boating village project is probably my favorite thing you've ever done and seeing it evolve over this season has been such a treat. Truly inspiring and fun
For gardening sometimes its helpful to have your plants in pots so you can bring them inside if theres a cold snap.
Overwatering was always my biggest problem so I set some alarms on my phone and kept a watering journal.
This was such a good ep. The Pearl shenanigans and some new builds.
Omg a watering journal is so smart, I need to do that cause I always end up killing them with overwatering 😅
Good tips!
Adding to that: When bring potted plants in, adding a thick layer of play sand on the top helps stop potential bug problems.
I love the scientist Gem studying Pearl
The skin is amazing
My dad can no longer get down on the ground to weed or take care of his plants, so his whole garden is in raised beds and pots! I know you talked yesterday in your stream about not having room for raised beds, but the pots still work great! My biggest tip is make sure the pots are tall enough to let the roots grow. He does have a greenhouse, but he also uses clear plastic containers as starters for his plants, throw away containers like what cakes come in from the grocery store (at least here in the US). They work great to get his plants started from seeds. Things will get better year after year, his didn't start out great when he moved plants from the garden to the raised beds and pots. He has also used buckets in the past for tomatoes, hang up a 5 gallon bucket, cut a small hole in the bottom, put the seedling stem through the hole so it's facing down, fill it with dirt and they worked great.
if you want to make the base even darker, you could maybe hire Cleo to do some armorstands that look like bodies underwater, or maybe some creepy fish from the game. or maybe even some skulls or skeletons on spikes or hanging from trees, if you really want to go into those darker elements.
The pay off for Pearls prank was glorious 😂
Scientist Gem studying Pearl and her pickle obsession is giving me life :D
It’s be cool to do some ambient sounds of insects and stuff once you get into the jungle area. I think it’d make it feel like the jungle is slowly come up around you as you get deeper into the brush. Good for spooky vibes!
Last year i grew some basil plants on my balcony, and i was not expecting how huge they got! definitely a good plant to start out when youre getting into gardening as they dont really need a lot of work
omg you were actually watching him! I thought he just added a screenshot of Gem there for the drama for his intro but she really just joined and saw that XD
I love how the hermits are so lucky when digging into the ground to find hidden shulkers/jukeboxes/etc
I think they all (or almost all) have multi directional headphones.
So you can actually hear if the sound is coming from behind or below or to the side and zero in on the general area.
It is really useful for horror games.
then again, they also have the ability to cut out minutes of frantic searching unsuccessfully until finally happening upon it in the last place you'd expect
@@recurvestickerdragon *yeah*
Though when I was watching scar's episode 3, there were no cuts before he found the note block. I'm not sure about Gem's vid tho, as I wasn't paying as much attention.
I GROW SO MANY VEGES AND FLOWERS IN MY WEE RENTAL GARDEN ! if u can't keep up w watering fill wine bottles w water and shove em upside down in the soil, also use tons of mulch! also! garages normally have to pay to dispose of old tyres, so ask for some and they will give em to u for free! perfect slight size upgrade to pots! Also wool/potato/coffee bean sacks are great growbags that you can get for free from the right people !
A cool building trick you can do is having a map in an invisible armor stand's hand and it's just a piece of paper with writing on it, maybe you can have them laying around in the artist's and ornithologist's houses
I love how Gem imbues the builds with character and lore... The paranoid artist storyline makes such a small build feel so meaningful! ❤️❤️
Im so glad ur enjoying gardening Gem :D im a village 'kid' so we have a huuge garden, its great. Here are my tips: give peas, tomatoes and any other taller plants support sticks! Peas will grab on by themselves but others might need to be tied. Also i think other types of pumpkins and squshes might do well in ur ground! We grow Hokkaido and they are great!
I live in a village too. But prefer and have a reason to say ''I live in a forest''.
We grow fruit trees mostly, because... Don't have space for smaller plants. The forest has taken over.
Maybe, just maybe, Grian works like a werwolf but instead of transforming on full moon nights, he transforms during thunderstorms.
The flowers in the trees remind me of bromeliads and other colorful plants that live in trees! They grow in the trees to catch the sunlight that would be completely blocked out on the ground. The wonderful adaptation that allows them to do so is super sensitive, almost tissue-paper-like roots that absorb even the lightest mist!
Lovely video as always, Gem! Thank you for making it!
when gem said "maybe its like christmas decorations... but with pickles" it reminded me of this old tradition, i think its either irish or german but you have a pickle shaped ornament and you hide it somewhere in the house and the first person to find it gets to open their presents first
German I believe and I saw in another comment Gem said she knew about said tradition
A poll of Germans found 91% of them have never heard of it. Its really some weird mid west American thing that might have been started from German colonist but its not a German tradition
I have a friend who is German and she does this! They learned it from her grandmother except they use a pickle ornament instead of a real one. I think a small part of Germany does it and it spread from there as Americans wanted to get closer to their roots.
@@themousehouse I did some reading and it appears that be along the line of fruit and veg decorations were a thing in America but pickle decorations weren't selling so someone made up this "tradition" and it caught on
