Hello,

This is the new thread the old one has over 100 pages and I was informed it will be locked.....

well watering today noticed 2 cantaloupes had dropped
off of the vine. guess there ready. the smaller one smells
like a ripe one. the larger not so much. will let bigger one
sit a week or so. but will try the little one tonight.

rare to get a melon here . season is short and cooler weather.
makes it hit or miss every year. i guess i lucked out this year.

Posted: **Tue Sep 13, 2022 10:44 am**

smelling ripe cantaloupe in the morning.. breakfast!
Looks good lrus.

well has got colder. melons are dying back. picked the last bigger one.
still got green beans to pick they are doing ok. yacons are pretty small.
but as long as they get big enough for good planting tubers for next year.
i was switching out 1/2 wood wine barrels that had worn out. with plastic
55 gal drums. of rotted cow shit. well 1 problem was the dirt was clay like.
when garden is over i am going to dig them out a foot or so and add perlite
to loosen the top of the soil. then with switching out to drums i was a month
and a half late planting this year. next year will be much better. *i hope*
my parsley died in a barrel but the chives on other side are booming.
still got beets and carrots going. then 1 more trash can with potato in it.
has not died back yet.

10 mins in the garden and look how many diff types of wildflowers seeds I harvested..

Posted: **Sat Sep 17, 2022 6:52 am**

gonna cut down the wildflowers on the side of the garden and till the soil a bit and then sow all the seeds I harvested as well as the ones that are still on the plant dried up....

Posted: **Mon Sep 19, 2022 12:25 am**

picked a bunch of beans today.
looks like will get 1 more good picking.
forgot to take a photo.

I started some potatoes that grew eyes a few weeks ago, in a 10 g pot and some spent medium, with a hand full of nutrients I cut a tall grass from another pot, for some cover, for the spud sprouts, and a wire ring around the perimeter of the pot.
The greens are growing out very nice so far, but I think an early winter is coming for us this year.
We always have hummingbirds until October, saw the last one 2 weeks ago now, so for our area, they left way early.
Our Plumeria/Frangipani needs drug indoors way early also, but damn she her flowers are fragrant with a strong scent this year.
My herb pots really sucked this year also, I think the medium was to enriched for herbs. I'll let winter wash the medium out, and next year it should be perfect for herbs.

Posted: **Tue Sep 20, 2022 12:08 pm**

always wanted to grow the plumeria, i may do it indoors with a small light it will give me something to do over autumn and the winter months....

Posted: **Wed Sep 21, 2022 9:03 am**

Hey dill786, for me, when I bring it indoors for the winter, it is just a stalk, in a pot. No food, no water, just a place out of the freeze temperatures.
The scent of the flowers are very strong, however, mine does not have a lot so I should figure that out. She clones very easy, long time is needed, but easy to do.

Posted: **Wed Sep 21, 2022 9:34 am**

cleaned up the garden today, pulled out the wildflower stalks and burnt them along with the poppy stalks from earlier on the season, and then mowed the lawn....

the tallest of the sunflowers over 13 feet high...

Posted: **Wed Sep 21, 2022 9:36 am**

the cuttings of the plumeria are hard to source in UK though... been looking on Ebay for them, lots of them for sale in the US but the P&P is ridiclious over $60 just for the shipping of one cutting ridiclious!!!

Posted: **Wed Sep 21, 2022 9:37 am**

burnt all the cardboard boxes i accumalated over the year too, all the plant matter was dry and set fire real quick

Posted: **Thu Sep 22, 2022 7:07 am**

Posted: **Thu Sep 22, 2022 11:56 pm**

well was in the 40's a few nights melon plants are toast now.
picked the few little ones and my whopping watermelon
yes that is a paper plate lol

still going to have a good picking of beans soon.
1 potato has not died back yet. so waiting on it.
some carrots are looking good. then a bunch of beets
for my sister. lots of chives. yacons are short but should
give me ok tubers to plant next year. i was over a month late
with garden this year. switching to barrels. the barrels after i
have veg's done i need to add perlite to soil. being rotted cow
shit is clay like. will fix that right up i figure. got 2 long window
pot's i filled with soil last night in greenhouse. tonight i planted
1/2 of each one with leaf lettuce seed. when it comes up a bit
will plant other 1/2 of them. need to walk orchard lot's of fruit
out there.
anyway is about it for now

Posted: **Fri Sep 23, 2022 1:33 am**

Lettuce ya say! Waves of 'em. Betcha got some nice homemade vinaigrette too.
Don't know what to say about your watermelon except how's it taste?

Posted: **Fri Sep 23, 2022 4:27 am**

i do make white wine vinegar lol

Posted: **Tue Sep 27, 2022 1:10 am**

some leaf lettuce is up was quick.
i put 4 pots with redwood seeds into greenhouse today.
late carrots are doing good.

chives have taken over cutting back soon.

another picking maybe 2 of green beans.

then for ben planted late and short but yacons.

then notice beets were a little wilted last night.
so gave them some extra water. look today still wilted
look in barrel and have at least a inch of standing water.
it is water logged. i def need to add perlite to barrels.
the 2 year old cow shit has turned to mud lol got to fix that.
i need to walk the orchard see lots of fruit out there.
season is about over here. guess thats it for now.

Posted: **Tue Sep 27, 2022 12:50 pm**

i just have the sunflower seeds to harvest, then chop down the wildflower plants and just till that ground over and scatter some wildflower seeds on the surface and I will be done for this year.......

Posted: **Tue Sep 27, 2022 4:57 pm**

you must have a gallon of sunflower seeds!

what do you do with them?

Posted: **Tue Sep 27, 2022 6:21 pm**

i usually leave some on the garden wall for the birds to take and save some for next season and maybe eat some after I bake them in the oven with some olive oil and spices, but ill have to spit the husk out so I might not bother haha!!

next season the plan is to grow some pumpkins, the seeds are packed with protein and are delicious when coated with spices and the husk isn't as fibrous as the sunflower seeds

my plan is to get some mammoth sunflower seeds and grow them big as I can, the ones I grew this time around were the "Mexican giants" sunflower seeds and the tallest was around 13 foot high, the mammoth ones get bigger and the heads can be around 3 feet across so it will be a challenge and something too look forward to next season

I also have an indoor plant called " bird of paradise! which I got from £10 from eBay as a small plant I left it out all summer and it grew well, now its indoor coz its cold now but I might put that under a light with my indoor money plant it will give me something to do till next spring.

Posted: **Tue Sep 27, 2022 10:22 pm**

well today pulled the beets, the standing water was gone.
right off the bat was a large wad of earthworms on top of soil.
put few hand fulls in wheel borrow then i started digging.
i use a large metal grain scoop so scooped into it. then about
6" down i hit fresh composting shit. quite warm cooking in there.
was mostly that way all the way down. spread the soil in the
wheel borrow to dry a few days. wish i had a 2nd wheel borrow
to mix the perlite in with this dirt/shit. i will think of something.
then since barrel is partly dug out. i will take my large iron digging bar
and poke hole to bottom in middle and fill with perlite. poor mans
french drain lol. i get it dealt with i got 1 more barrel i can do up
also. then another when beans are done. might need another bag
of perlite i dono yet.

Posted: **Fri Sep 30, 2022 9:34 pm**

ordered these Mongolian giant sunflower seeds. they look mad, don't they !! HAHA

Posted: **Fri Sep 30, 2022 10:12 pm**

well been a work out. today soil was dry enough. i had been
raking it with 4 prog rake. i had dug down 3/4 the way in barrel.
so i used a garden tool not sure of name. has 6 or so bars and a handle.
you poke down and twist it breaks up the soil. so i used that on bottom
of barrel adding perlite. then i mixed perlite with what i had dug out.
taking a break often bad ticker lol. so i got it full and topped off. rested
a while then dug out barrel #2 3/4 way and twisted perlite in bottom.
soil in a tub and wheel borrow needs to dry a day or 2 not as much fresh
shit in this one. was the melon barrel. if soil is dry enough tomorrow will get
2nd barrel filled. then dig out 1/2 side of chive barrel and add some perlite
to it. green beans are still going. so that barrel is on hold till there done.
then i have 1 last one. it has carrots in it to over winter. will dig and
fix that one with perlite next spring. i will say i have seen more worms
i mean lbs of them. is a great sign in the barrels. next year will be great.

it with perlite. then have these large black bags.
they fit over barrel. so the done barrels are covered
with a brick on top. will kill any weeds and not be
waterlogged next spring. last barrel to do i still have
beans growing. will pick soon and debate if there done.
i will try to remember to take some photo's of what i am
doing with barrels. on the next one. leaf lettuce in the
greenhouse is doing nice. 2 weeks or so will plant more.

garden fire

Posted: **Sun Oct 02, 2022 11:01 pm**

was going to take day off. oh well, i picked the last
of the green beans. then pulled them up. very shallow
roots. here is full barrel of mud/ shit waterlogged.

then my metal gallon grain scoop, sharpened even lol.

then dug it out 3/4 the way. wheel borrow and a tub.
this one was really wet and lot's of fresh shit still. all good.

then the garden claw tool i have loosened to bottom
of the barrel.

that is it for today. will mix perlite in bottom of barrel
tomorrow. then rake the soil i dug out to dry some.
if it dries enough will add perlite and refill barrel.

Posted: **Tue Oct 04, 2022 5:14 pm**

well woke up to rain today. so soil is not dry enough
to refill barrel yet. but i did add perlite to bottom.

Posted: **Tue Oct 04, 2022 7:05 pm**

i like that scoop!

always used cans but damn their hard to come by
lucky i stashed a few

Posted: **Tue Oct 04, 2022 8:35 pm**

i like it a lot i have it sharpened on end. slides thru soil
very nice. went to town with bro. no one had perlite.
might go to different town in next few days.
also no one had potato bags. so hit ebay for some.

Posted: **Wed Oct 05, 2022 1:23 pm**

always nice to have a good edge on your digging tools...

Posted: **Wed Oct 05, 2022 3:01 pm**

my bird of paradise indoor plant, i got this from eBay for £10 a little cutting and I left it outdoors all summer and because this year was exceptionally warm it grew really well, so the plan is to put this and my money plant cuttings under a light in the box room, hopefully with the light I will get it real big and will probably have to repot it into a bigger container, still need some soil and some perlite not ordered that yet, I may drive to the shop/store to get them along with some bigger pots..

Posted: **Wed Oct 05, 2022 9:20 pm**

well went to another town for perlite. filled barrel
most the way. but needed more so 1/2 filled wheel borrow.
is really wet still so been raking off and on all day to dry. should be
ok tomorrow to mix and fill. then when done need to do 2 more
wheel borrows mixed. then into a trash can, that is to add to my
raised flower bed. got carrots and beets going in it now. but want
dirt ready after i pull carrots to add to it. speaking of carrots i was
not to late noticed some nice ones watering tonight.
lettuce is not growing very fast yet but is good to go.

Posted: **Thu Oct 06, 2022 5:36 pm**

mixed today and barrel is full now.

then covered have 4 filled and covered for spring.

now drying more in wheel borrow. got a trash can
of soil still. so i am drying and adding perlite then
into another can. will use that to top off my raised bed.
then also have some for next spring to top off barrels.

Posted: **Fri Oct 07, 2022 9:41 pm**

doing last of trash can today. is mud and shit real wet.
so stirred around today. might be dry enough tomorrow.
i add perlite to that. then will have it all gone thru.
i will have a extra almost full 65 gal trash can when done.

Posted: **Sat Oct 08, 2022 6:47 pm**

well got it all mixed now. barrels are filled and covered till spring.

to pick some fruit but not today lol. ordered a lifetimes worth
of azomite 44 lb bag. is trace elements for my garden and flower
beds. going to pick a bunch more of carrots soon. we have had
a dry warm fall so far. the late planted stuff is catching up.

Posted: **Fri Oct 14, 2022 6:49 am**

spent some time in the garden clearing away all the flowers and stems and foliage, put it in the bac of the garden so it will dry and then I can have another fire later on this month when they dry out....

Posted: **Wed Oct 19, 2022 10:13 pm**

ordered a 42 lb bag of azolite trace elements for garden.
last night open box and bag looks like will fit into a 5 gal
bucket. top of bag says tear here for pour spout so i did.
well this bag is micronized. not sand and powder like other i have.
is like flour. well was not pouring so tore bag more. is dust of it
everywhere as pouring. get bucket almost full. so i grab bucket and
lift it a few inches and drop it to settle. well it came out of bucket
like nuke cloud. got nose/lung full. go to wash some from my
eyes. look in mirror total pink face from powder. wash up go
back to porch every things dusted. i get rest into bucket is 100%
full. marked lid and came in house. am now very stoned, wash up again.
i inhaled a lot prob got miners lung now and nose feels like a desert.
so today i am still a bit high with a headache. i hope i have not
poisoned myself. any way i have a lifetimes worth of azolite now.
will add a heavy cup to each barrel next spring. will do flower bed
after i pull some carrots. i think i got my minerals for the week.

heard of a guy was bent down to close to a 50lb box of ground chili that burped and got a lung full knocked him down for a good half hour...

Posted: **Sat Oct 29, 2022 10:20 pm**

dumped trash can today of potato's. got about
15-20 lbs i would guess or 2/3 of a brown bag.
chives do not look happy. is a barrel i did not dig out.
if they die off will have 2 barrels to add perlite to
next spring. only carrots out there as i need them.
then after 1st frost. harvest the yacons.
mmm fried chicken and fresh baked potato's tonight..

Posted: **Tue Nov 01, 2022 8:38 pm**

use a gen to run a pump in a old well for garden.
the well to the 2 houses is shallow so i don't use it.
some water is in well, less as summer rolls on.
i use a stop watch. in spring 15 min or so. late summer
is 7 min if lucky every other day. get more not pumping
every day. i fill water barrels and hand water mostly.
i will use hose on poppy and artichoke patches.
rains are here but a nice day today. so cleaned a path
to porch and moved the gen to porch. then i opened
ends of my 2 hoses so they will drain back to well.
that way the hoses don't freeze up to top of well.
had a lot of rain. the chive barrel chives are dieing.
so dug them up and put into a pot in the greenhouse
to dry up a bit. we get right weather this winter i will
dig it out to add perlite. also the 1 that has carrots in it
this spring. i got a lot of carrots out there lol 2 patches
and a barrel. i do have 1 worry the black bags i put onto
barrels. are full of water on top. i hope that with the seal
that the worms do not run out of air in there. guess i will
know in the spring.

Posted: **Fri Nov 04, 2022 7:13 pm**

ok today i give barrels a look. dead worms in the
water on top of barrels. so i took the bags off.
was many worms on the tops. also down side of barrel.
glad i thought about it. all the worms would be dead by
spring. i asked my bro to get me a sheet of plywood.
2'x2' pieces will work. i hope he gets to it soon. lots of
rain. so i want them covered. i did not take a photo
because it is pouring outside.

Posted: **Fri Nov 04, 2022 8:48 pm**

hate when that happens

Posted: **Tue Nov 08, 2022 9:10 pm**

talking with ripper in chat today. i said we had a light
frost i could harvest the yacons. well was still light out
and not raining so i did. not looking good they hardly
grew under ground. also only a few top planting tubers.
so sat them in a box is a cool room. will see in spring
if the few planting tubers make it. then a barrel i did not
dig out with carrots in it. is 2-3" of standing water hydro
carrots anyone ? lol my other carrots are fine in raised bed.
had a frost makes them sweeter will pull a bunch soon.

Posted: **Fri Nov 11, 2022 12:26 am**

been thinking as always is a curse.

anyway the barrels getting waterlogged.
i drilled 1/2" holes on bottom of them.
there lies my problem i think. barrels are on cement.
so as they get heavy seals bottom. also the soil is
clay like so would self seal. made me think of a planter
pot. has 4 drain holes on bottom on sides. inch or so for
a 3 gallon pot. i now have a plan. i dug up a 2 1/4" hole saw.
i will drill 4 holes around bottom of each barrel. that should
do the trick. when weather lets me. then for the tops i asked
my bro to cut me some plywood squares to put on top for
winter time. he has not got to it yet. but i had a idea i will
drill a 1 1/4" hole in center of each piece. then i will go get
some 1" pvc pipe and 5 caps. will cut the pvc into 2' pieces
put a cap on 1 end. then set plywood on barrel poke the pvc
down middle. so i do not have to stack bricks on them for wind.
had 2 frost's so will harvest a bunch of carrots soon. the leaf
lettuce in greenhouse does not look happy. will see how that goes.

Posted: **Tue Nov 15, 2022 6:39 pm**

was nice out today. grabbed hole saw and started
drilling 2 1/4" holes in barrels. 4th hole the pilot bit
bent. took it out put in vice then tried hammer on anvil.
could not get it flat again. so sized the bit 1/4" took a
drill bit and put it in hole saw. got 19 of my 20 holes.
could not get 1 hole barrel is next to fence. is 1 i need
to dig out in spring. so will get to it when i can move
barrel. tools are crap it seems. dewalt hole saw 1st
bent pilot bit then is metal cutting one. took like a
full minute per hole. seemed to not cut but melt it's
way thru. sorry was to lazy for photo's.

Posted: **Mon Nov 21, 2022 5:15 am**

autumn has been really mild and the wildflower seeds have germinated and have grown into small plants, they will die though when it gets really cold. might have to buy more seeds in spring, because of it being so mild this time of the year..

Posted: **Mon Nov 21, 2022 9:17 am**

Having kind of the same problem, my daffodils have started to sprout a little. But their bulbs and can be buried under snow and just resume in spring thaw. Usually by this time of year a snowstorm ot two, but just rain so far.

Life. Just add Water.

Posted: **Wed Dec 07, 2022 10:09 pm**

warmed up a little. yesterday went to pull some carrots.
ground was froze solid. well was able to today. i needed
to get that spot ready for garlic. pulled about 10 lbs of
carrots. still plenty more. then i got that spot all ready
to plant. when i was across the pond i met and talked to
a elderly german lady. she said she had been in my state
for 2 years long ago. said we had the same weather there
and here. then she told me to plant garlic near or on xmas.
then on july 1st bend tops over, wait a week and harvest.
well every time i have done it i get a good garlic crop.
so i have there spot ready and a few cloves to break up.

Posted: **Thu Dec 08, 2022 12:22 pm**

you're growing carrots in frozen ground! damn you the man.

Posted: **Thu Dec 08, 2022 6:26 pm**

well there not growing. but if covered on top can last the
winter. also carrots are sweeter after a frost.

Posted: **Mon Dec 26, 2022 8:45 pm**

well it thawed out and pouring rain.
but today i planted my garlic.
sorry no photo was raining pretty hard.

Posted: **Mon Jan 16, 2023 9:15 pm**

i noticed today i have some garlic up.

i pulled the rest of the carrots. cleaned up that
bin. except for the flower bulbs in there. i will
only do garlic, onions. short row of beets and maybe
a few cabbage. was not great for carrots. water was
not soaking in deep made short carrots. will do them
in 2 of the 55 gal drums. last freeze took out lettuce
in the greenhouse will plant some more soon.

Posted: **Tue Jan 17, 2023 12:26 am**

I’m kinda restricted on what I can do these days, which has wrecked my gardening plans. I’m doing a container grow of dill, fennel, 8 kinds of lettuce, purple bak choi, and some flowers. I’m also planning to grow rosemary, lavender, chamomile and valerian for my own use.

I still have a bunch of lilacs that I need to get in the ground, they’ve been sitting out there in containers forever. Hopefully my body will ease up enough this week to let it happen. We’re in a pretty bad drought, so I don’t have high hopes for anything surviving.

Posted: **Tue Jan 17, 2023 12:13 pm**

Sounds nice to me. Gotta have a garden. All I've got going right now are lemons and oranges in the greenhouse (orangery).

Posted: **Sun Jan 29, 2023 8:09 pm**

well was a nice day. so looked at the garlic.
i thought i had planted 31 cloves. i counted
them up and came up with 32 lol so i guess
all of the garlic is up.

Posted: **Mon Jan 30, 2023 10:54 pm**

outstanding!

hope the chives come through as well

Posted: **Tue Jan 31, 2023 12:08 am**

hit or miss for some reason. planted heavy
a pot and watered. then set into greenhouse.
will see..

Posted: **Wed Feb 01, 2023 12:03 am**

I’ll hopefully be growing scions.

Posted: **Wed Feb 01, 2023 1:24 am**

nice grafting pliers. i have a pair that has 4 different
shaped cutters. also got a old school grafting tool.
is wood splitter pry bar ect. all in 1. wax is ok, the
asphalt sealer sucks. i have had the best luck with
doc farwell's grafting seal. you be taking scions soon.
then wet paper towel the ends and into fridge.
then when trees are growing later is when you graft.
best of luck. is so cool when it works.

Posted: **Wed Feb 01, 2023 3:05 am**

Most videos I watch they use clay, I’ll look into the sealer you recommend.

I’ve already done a few this year…..as I understand it you want to graft fruit trees right before the sap starts flowing and before it turns too hot.

I’ve pretty much mastered grafting cactus but this might take a few years to get the hang of, eventually I want to have a tree with 20+ kinds of fruits, wish I would have started at a younger age.

Posted: **Thu Feb 02, 2023 10:56 pm**

well my yacons did not do well last year hardly grew.
i looked last night to see if any planting tubers.
looked like 2 maybe 3 but rather dried out.
is early but i filled 3 one gal pots. then tore into them.

planted the 2 into a pot each and the 3 tiny into 3rd pot.
i sure hope they grow. been growing them over 25 years now.

fungus gnats were eating the roots of my houseplants and the leaves were small and stunted..

i was thinking about a solution today and then I suddenly remembered I had a bag of diametecus earth from few years ago when I had fungus gnat issues in my grow room, so I mixed some with the soil in my indoor plants just now and laid some down on the tray were the plants sit on, hope it works...

Posted: **Sun Feb 12, 2023 1:42 pm**

Hey dill786, I've been not watering from the top down, for months now, and it has beat back my gnat population better than Mosquito Bits did for me.
Even my seedlings. Once out of 4-5inch nursery pots, I just fill saucers. Since the roots are driven downward, to get fluid, I really do not need to top down water anymore.
I went and found cheapo dish pans that hold my 3 g pots, can hold a gallon with space left over.
Now have a full cycle with zero top down feedings, with a huge reduction in gnats.
I sure this will not work for everything, my cannabis loves it.

Yes. Right! As I told you two or three times before, Cantor uses Proof by Contradiction.

If you could count all the natural numbers you end up with a infinity plus one type contradiction.
Therefore set of all natural numbers is uncountable.

My weed post started it all. My bad.

I'll probably use the paper towel in baggie method to germ my chili seeds, soon. Works pretty good for small veggie type seeds, not so well for pot seeds. :volcano:

Was planning on just buying a few tomato plants.
Going to check out what seeds are available first, I guess. Never did them from seed before.

Posted: **Wed Feb 15, 2023 6:31 pm**

i reckon we should have a sunflower competition, let's see who can grow the tallest sunflower on MPG

we still have some time though, I have lots of seeds from my last grow, so if anyone wants some just hit me up in a PM, or alternatively you can just get some from your local seed shop and we can all sow them in mid-may and see who can grow the tallest one....

Posted: **Wed Feb 15, 2023 9:52 pm**

planted 2 other sad tubers in pot's hope they might come up.
is ok tho i did not loose it. one will be enough for next year tubers.

then we got a chitting potato. is more than 1.

got to go to feed store for rabbit food. will see if they got onion sets
and other potato's out. also some other things there like some seed.

Posted: **Wed Feb 22, 2023 5:02 pm**

Getting some onion seed started, as it takes a 2-3 months to make bulb. I never did it before. Just have the shits of buying a bag of onion sets and getting a small portion in return.
I finally cut my big assed FrangiePangie, (plumeria) as some of the very ends started to go a bit mushie. So it is now a easy to roll around the house.

Posted: **Thu Feb 23, 2023 9:17 am**

nice one ^^^

gonna abe interesting to see the updates on the onion seeds as time goes by and we get into summer..

Posted: **Tue Feb 28, 2023 9:48 am**

I just started some green onions also, they can be used at day 60, or let the bulbs get bigger and cut them at 120 days.
Tomatoes seeds get started today also, well if I get my fat ass down there an throw a veg table together, and get the squares away from the weed area.
I got at least one plumeria showing , a growth bump, well I hope anyway.

Posted: **Thu Mar 02, 2023 12:35 am**

ordered some seeds today.
habanada a non heat habanero pepper going to do it
in the house. then a cool looking spiraling cactus.
then a flower bush that looked kind of cool. all are seeds.

Posted: **Thu Mar 02, 2023 4:24 am**

That’s not a cactus, it’s called Albuca namaquensis. (Spiral Grass)

The flower looks like a hydrangea, probably more than one purposely grown at different ph levels or it could be two different varieties.

Posted: **Thu Mar 02, 2023 6:14 am**

ok i stand corrected lol

Posted: **Thu Mar 02, 2023 7:50 am**

gonna order some more wildflower seeds, been reading you have to scatter seeds for a few seasons before you get a sustainable seed bank in the ground....

already have two types of sunflower seeds to sow in early may so have some time yet...

gonna go to the local store for some pumpkin seeds and other seeds that I fancy !!

Posted: **Thu Mar 02, 2023 8:32 pm**

those cacti is awesome!

Cactus have areola, it’s pretty much the easiest way to tell a cactus from a euphorbia.

Posted: **Fri Mar 03, 2023 4:31 am**

was listed as a cactus.
so i went with it.
wonder if it is just called one, like a christmas cactus.

yesterday i dug 3 1/2 55 gal drums out and added
perlite. then i drilled 2 1/4" holes around bottoms.
they are ready for spring.

Posted: **Thu Mar 16, 2023 6:36 pm**

It’s indeterminate, not intermediate.

Posted: **Fri Mar 17, 2023 6:21 pm**

was nice out again today. lets see 1st i added rabbit shit
to 3 barrels. then i topped them off with soil. then i
put lime and azomite onto the 3 and the 3 i had dug out
other day. mixed that in. there all ready for spring.
then i dug out the last 3 1/2 wood wine barrels into a
65 gal trash can. was full and heavy as fuck. then i
cleaned up where they were. then moved my 3 trash
cans for potato's there. had to stop a lot heart don't
like labor anymore. so the potato cans are ready for
planting soon. i got 1 more 55 gal to dig out for spring.
was going to do that. but sister is doing my shopping
today. i pack it into wheel borrow to the house. so i
could not dig it out today. after that barrel i have 1
more to dig out. but i can wait for warmer weather.
i might have 2 empty this year still debating. i only
have so much water during summer.

Posted: **Sat Mar 18, 2023 10:43 pm**

lucked out nice weather today again.
dug out 55 gal drum 3/4 the way down. filled my wheel borrow
and a tub. mixed perlite as i was shoveling raking it into them.
then it was movable so moved and drilled my 1 more drain hole.
i moved it and then dug and used a kind of twist tool to mix the
perlite to the bottom. spot was not level where it was. went to bro's
and said i need a foundation. he said got wood for it. i said no but
let me think. then said that plastic deck fake wood scraps of yours
behind the greenhouse. he said good thinking. has been there 10 years.
told him will still need help later. dug out 4 of the plastic boards a little
long but useable. drove 3 pieces of rebar 1 few inches from fence. then
2 on 1 side of where plywood was. moved plywood away then laid scrap
pieces down and put 2 bricks under 1 end to level up. was really close to
level. moved plywood back and poof there is my bro. says what do we
need to do ? i said well i got it if you can step on this plywood so it does
not move. told him shoulder was already fucked so why not a little more.
rolled it into place and he said that's it ? i said yup thanks did not mean to
work you to hard on your day off. then i went in and rested a bit.
then went out to greenhouse and dumped all the used soil into 2 buckets.
dumped them into bottom of barrel and added then mixed a little perlite.
refilled barrel 3/4 the way. then got 2 scoops of shit from under rabbit
cage. mixed some perlite with it also. then topped the barrel off.rested
then added lime and azomite and mixed in. the barrels are ready for spring.
i got 1 last barrel to dig out. no rush when warmer will do it. this has been
heavy mud like cuz so wet.

then one bro gave me from out of state huckleberry gold.

is a interesting one here is a c&p about it.

Huckleberry Gold: The First Low Glycemic Potato!
This is an exciting new variety, developed at Montana State University. Huckleberry Gold is not only exceptionally high in antioxidants, but this great tasting potato also has a lower glycemic index than other potato varieties. That means anyone watching their carbohydrate intake can literally have their potatoes and eat them too. Read article about Low Glycemic Potatoes Nutritious Huckleberry Gold yields abundant round to oval medium-size tubers with purple skin and rich flavored, golden yellow flesh that really does taste already buttered. Strong yielding, good keepers with good resistance to common scab and Verticillium wilt.
Midseason: 85-95 days

not sprouted yet. the pepper either. filled 3 small pots with
soil. planted 2 with chives and other with parsley. are soaking,
will take out to greenhouse tomorrow. was glad for the nice days.
we are back to rain now. but hey i did not need to water onions

planted some lettuce in a long window pot today.
put a screen over it. my brother has outside cats.
cleaned up yesterday so i could spray weed killer.
sprayed that today then mixed more for tomorrow.
cleaned a spot in the blackberry and scrub part of
property. i have a plant i think i will put out this year.
will spray around it tomorrow and a few more spots.
the lettuce is in the greenhouse. it gets a few inches
tall i got 1 more long pot to plant. filled and ready to go.

Posted: **Wed Mar 29, 2023 7:59 pm**

well sprayed around today. also did that spot i cleared.
i grabbed 10 onion's from bro, green onion type. i soaked
them overnight in a shot glass. then planted and watered in.
figured what the hell. planted a short row of beets also.
garlic is doing well little fert burnt. opps will grow out of it.
nothing is up in greenhouse or inside on heat mats yet.

on another note. poppy plot nothing again. hmm so thought
mother nature hates me. so maybe slugs and snails. so i tossed
some more seed then some slug bait around. will see.

Posted: **Thu Mar 30, 2023 9:06 pm**

today just put some soil and grass seed at base
of the mushroom chip pile. spread more slug bait.

under the tubes. hope it does ok out there i want to plant it
outside as soon as i can. only 1 this year they did poorly last
year. i only got 1 tuber to come up. i did it early because none
of the few planting tubers looked very good so planted them.
then surprise i see some lettuce up in greenhouse

nothing else has sprouted out there yet. same with indoor
heat mat.

Posted: **Thu Apr 06, 2023 11:14 pm**

what do you do with the rapid rooters that failed ?
you boil them in water then use for something else.
i am doing some artichoke seeds. there are 2 seeds
per rooter poked in with a pencil. only 80% germ rate
with fresh seeds is why 2 seeds per. my seed is older.
then set on a wet tray of perlite. will take out to greenhouse
tomorrow. soon as they sprout i will plant them. got some leaf
lettuce up. but nothing else yet on heat mat or greenhouse.
a few of my bulb onions are above ground now. garlic is
doing well. i might do carrots soon. bulbs i ordered have shipped.

go big or go home below the rock you came from .... well i have to wait until legalization law is in power, max 3 plants at home or 5, social clubs ... and what else ...

as a grower and hobby breeder im aware that there will be only 1 selection criteria : effect

my plan is to use the ssh recipe, but without NL and without skunk, i wonder why nobody worked with those lines in combination with haze, instead of skunk im using c99 and instead of nl i will use sannies jack

and bc i consider all 3 strains as stable, breeding work will be faster ... also im still havin contact with cees, the guy who brought santa maria, plank, berlin or whatever they called her into the scene, its a good plant, but imho missing the last 10 to 20 percent in effect compared to more hazy genetics, but, santa is fast and yummy and stable, it might be an alternative to sannies jack ... depends what the crosses do timewise and how they interact

Posted: **Fri Apr 07, 2023 5:24 pm**

Took all of my old soil out back and separated the root balls from the good stuff. To my nice pile I added some pulverized limestone, blood & bone meals, water. Mixed it up real good and covered it. Let it cook fer a couple of weeks. Gonna use it Fer my chilis & mators & whatever else I get up to.

one type is the Mongolian giants i got from Etsy last year if some of you can remember... the other one is the seeds I saved from the sunflowers I grew so pleased they germinated because as I dropped them in the water and I checked after a few hours almost all of them were still floating on top of the water, according to some net sources the ones that float won't germinate, but some of them germinated while they were floating in the cup of water so I don't think that test is true...

I swapped my neighbor a couple of chili saplings for some cherry tomatoe saplings

Tomatoes and peppers both belong to the Solanaceae, the nightshade family.

late this afternoon bro was ready to plant.
i grabbed seeds for him. his spot is 10 X 5'. 5 x 5 going to use
for corn. so in other 5 x 5 he planted carrots, radish, leaf lettuce,
and beets. weather says rain so glad we got them in before.
he might buy some pea's seeds when he gets corn seed and
who knows what else. after it warms up i know he wants some
peppers. also beans to go in. but have to wait for warmer weather now.

a few onions that had fallen over. then leaf lettuce is up
in 1 window pot in greenhouse. i planted the 2nd one today.

got my radish seeds through the post this morning.. gonna sow them on the weekend in the sunflower patch, should have waited and sowed them both together, but now I have to be careful not to dig up the sunflower seeds....

Posted: **Wed Apr 19, 2023 12:30 pm**

i always try my best to get heirloom seeds, so you can harvest the seeds and sow them again and again, unlike these f1 hybrid seeds that you cant sow the next season so you have to keep buying them every season...

garlic is going well. then bulb onion starts are perking up.
the green onion starts are looking ok. then the extra onions

they grow fast like 30 days. so maybe plant a flower pot with them.
as they sprout plant a few more. don't need to many at a time.
then after sunflowers pop the soil then could plant between them.

i got 2 clones,one White Runtz,lookin good indica ,and a new sativa called CrescendO,gonna pollenate them with a short season Jack Herer that i harvested july 15th,don't know what i pollenated it with but i'm starting a bunch to get an early male
