It ended up being a fairly week "peak" season in 2019. Hopefully now, with a better lay of the land and some great new advice I'll have better success next summer! Hoping to acquire a good Neutral Density filter soon which should loft some of my time lapses to the next level.

I love how you're not one of those people who spread misinformation for views. Keep up the good work!

[@HRRRisonCater]

Very nicely put together. Well done!

[@mocrack_wx]

Another really good video... Thanks, I always learn something when I watch these...

[@teacup4561]

Wow your videos are really amazing and informative. I really appreciate the visual edits that make this stuff easier to understand for someone like me who has never heard of it before. You definitely deserve more views! Maybe if you used catchier titles and thumbnails you could help your videos' performances?

[@teacup4561]

Also I loved seeing your grandfather's photos! Something about the grainy colors feels very vintage and cool to me. It's an aesthetic that is becoming very popular these days among young people.

[@scienceoutthere]

Thanks again! Yeah thumbnails and click through rate are a struggle. I'd love to think I'm getting better at it over time?

[@StephenStormLog]

So pleasant, enjoyable, and well done!. I live in NM and I'm always too lazy to chase monsoons!

[@scienceoutthere]

Dude it was awesome. And between you and me I loved New Mexico even more.

[@cysauce]

Extremely informative video but where are the memes! jk aside those sunsets after a mean storm are always spectacular .

[@scienceoutthere]

Being my first 'collab' I thought I'd keep the memage level down a bit. The one I'm scripting right now is meme central. I really would love to dial that up!

So when I eat lettuce in Florida, it came from Arizona?

[@scienceoutthere]

MOST likely California or Northern Mexico but yes certainly Arizona too. #2 producer in the US.

[@patrick247two]

@@scienceoutthere Wow, so many trucks. Does the travelling food contribute to food poisoning? By the way, great video, very informative.

[@scienceoutthere]

Patrick Barry it’s a valid point and I’m not exactly sure. I had thought it was the use of fertilizers? I’ll look into that. I got used to growing a lot of my own lettuce for years but now I’m back to apartment life and miss it.

[@patrick247two]

@@scienceoutthere Crunchy fresh lettuce is the best.
