Get well soon, man! Lots of work to be done...:sun:
You deserve a break though. Just don't loose your steam and motivation.. kay? I know you won't :shineon:
Thanks to this thread, I have an easy time staying motivated.. I come here just to check this post... stick around :sun:

I'm glad to hear your seedlings are doing well. That was a fun stage for me. I literally started 15 different types of seeds, and each of them pretty much came up in different intervals.

As far as the peat pellets... sure, it will probably work.. I have no experience with it.
But what I do know, is out of my hundreds of plants started indoors, poppies and nasturtium are the ONLY plants that died indoors.
They are very hard to grow indoors, and when you move them outside( as well as with all your plants) you need to do it slowly, to get them used to the sun.

Getting your baby plants used to the sun is an important, and sometimes long and drawn out process. But it's very important.

Good luck with the poppies, I am SOOO excited about mine... first year. I have them planted around other tall growing flowers( Namely echinecha) Of course, I will only use them for legal floral arrangements.. they are soo pretty, heh.


A small tips( I'm sure you know this): keep your seedlings as close as possible to the lights, I made the mistake of not doing that, and I got a lot of plants with long and flexy stems( which is not the end of all things, but can make problems in the future)

hey, keep the questions coming, I want to help in ANY way. I will post again when I come up with more.
Peace bro.
:sun:

I would agree that hardening them off is a very important step. I have a nice little pvc greenhouse that I can use for that.

My little flouorescent light is not gonna be able to handle all the plants that I have coming. So I am hoping that a nice sunny windowsill will work nicely for that purpose.

Heres a question, I have 2 different kind of tobacco that I have never tried to grow, one is called Sylvestris and the other is Tinkerbell. They are both Nicotiana, so I would assume that they contain nicotine, although I am not to sure, any idea?

I was also planning on using Nasturtiums for companion planting, would it be better to direct seed those in the garden instead of indoors. I remember last year ours got really lanky, they didnt fare so well at first. But those things sure take off once they get outside. I am also planning on using marigolds, but I think I will buy transplants.

:peace:

yeah, nasturtium doesn't do well inside, even by a sunny window( in my experience)
As far as the tobacco goes, I have NO idea.. But I hope they are active, for your sakes.. Growing my own tobacco has been very fun and rewarding, even though I have yet to smoke any of my homegrown.
To do it right, you have to harvest when the plant is dying, and the leaves start to yellow, while still attached to the plant.
And then to get a smooth smoke, a (somewhat) complicated curing process is needed.
Check erowid or google( sorry, I'm not up for that, just now)

Make sure to rotate your window plants, so they don't bend toward the light too much. It's so hard for me not to splurge on plants, at the nursery.. I am already almost in over my head, with so many different things growing, and new projects/ideas.

One variety has red tubular flowers, while the others are white. They are more like .tabacum flowers than .rustica.

I would say that Tobacco is one of my favorite plants to grow. The harvesting and curing process is the hardest part for me. I have gotten some nice smooth smoke a couple years back, very tasty and super strong. My brother did a good job last year as well, I never got a chance to grow much myself as I lived in an apartment.

I think that I might go the the nursery tomorrow and check things out.

I doubt you'll need fencing: the deer here on the Gulf Islands are voracious and not once has one nibbled my poppies grown outside the fence.

Thanks nijusan, thats good to know. The deer make a daily habit of walking through my garden, they aren't spooked to easily anymore, so used to humans. I think my new pooch will do a good job too.

Im feeling a hole lot better, still slept all day, just got up actually, its 3:30 in the afternoon :smirk:
Noticed that I have about 15 basils up now along with about a dozen of my tomatoes, woot! So Im moved both of those trays to my windowsill.

I have tomorrow off as well so I think that I will get planting all my new seeds, or maybe go work in the garden if I feel up to it. I dont want to delay myself getting better though. I was so pissed that I was sick, today was such a beautiful day, I could have gotten so much done, ah well, another day.

Bye for now
:peace:

You could also kill the deer.
But first read up on how to rack, skin, and butcher them. Buy a freezer, and preserve the meat( preferably in vacuum sealed bags)
100% organic, VERY LOW FAT, healthy( and damn tasty) meat.
Use the skins, cure them well and brush the outside with a light oil and they will be soft. Make cool garments and warrior like amends with the antlers and skins, and parade around at midnight by the Firestone grill.
Properly cured quality skins can feestch upwards $500, but you will want to keep them, after the work it takes to make them.

More practical applications are free food, fun side project: no more deer.
Make scarecrows out of deer body parts, and perform a magic circle around your garden, honoring the spirit of the deer, but also as a ward to keep them away. Take and give, give back to nature what you take in the life of an old and long lived deer.

Thats some idea flowy, although I must say Im not one for picking up a gun, let alone shooting an animal. I think I can manage to co-exist with these ones.

Whats up all, I havent updated for a while. Im just about over being sick, so I will be able to finally get out and do some diggin in my garden. I had all 25 tomatoes pop not to mention 4 thai basil and about 10 regular basil. I have most of my little ones in the greenhouse now. I lost a pepper and one basil to the cold, but the rest look great. I noticed today that my recently planted peppers have begun to sprout.
I have been doing alot of work around the house lately, strippin the patio and sanding it down, its gonna look great.
My backyard veggie garden is coming together although not in place yet, I have tons of 2x4's.
But I have to keep this short as I need to get back to work. FLowy how are things in your garden treating you? Keep me updated. Bye for now

:peace:

Pics to come, I need to charge my batteries.

I am feeling good enough now to get some real work done on the garden. I went up today and turned over about half of the garden, the soil is nice and soft now. I have two days coming up so I am going to get it all done then. I found some scrap lumber alongside the road near my place that I am going to grab for the fence. Bye for now :peace:

Hey bro, we have been playing phone tag these past few days, but hell yes I'd love some help. I have Weds and Thursday off and planned on digging in the garden for most of Wed. I will give you a call, we still need to go for a hike and get some exploring done. Talk to ya soon.

PS I planted a shitload more seeds today, some poppies, ground cherries, more peppers and tomatoes, basil and tobacco :sun:

Bye for now :peace:

most of my poppy seeds are back in NS, but i have a packet here :smile:  plus theres always bulk barn.
you know, the soil type here is perfect. poppies should pretty much infest just about any slope since its all dry loose chalky sand.

Lucky! I have to pretty much replace the soil entirely because my soil is pure clay, so even if I mix it with regular soil, when the clay that is there expands and contracts it will destroy the root system :frown:

Full on day happend today, Mitch came over and we went hog wild with the poppies. We started three nice sized little patches and not to mention the many random sites we chose during our trek. We still have a whole shit load of seeds left to plant.

After some gardening, we decided to go for a hike to find some critters. After a bunch of running around and lifting many rocks and logs we ended up finding 9 Long-Toed Salamanders and 1 Pacific Tree Frog. Mitch was pretty stoked on the frog as he had never had one before, a nice new specimen for his collection.
We plan on keeping them at my place for a little while until he gets settled in, my old man has a 30 gallon tank that I am going to setup for them.

I have another day off tomorrow so I plan on turning the rest of my garden and maybe starting a couple more poppy patches :sun:

Bye for now

:peace:

Ill see if I can borrow my mother in-laws grub-hoe for the next time I come up.

realistically, we could just tear strips out of the hill with the grubhoe. one person to grub down hill, and the other to sprinkle seeds. If that works then its an entire mountainside of poppies.

Whats up everyone, been kinda lazy with the updates lately.
Things are going real well now, tons of little seedlings chillin in my southern window. New Yorker tomatoes, cayenne, tepin, hungarian yellow and habanero peppers, pepperocini, basil and thai basil, poppies, morning glory (flying saucers), ground cherry, cherry tomatoes and tomatillos, tobacco(rustica), some unkown hot peppers and cannabis clones, seedlings and some larger plants. Things are looking dammnn good at my house.

Ive got the next two days off so I will be tilling the garden and working on the fence.

Flowstone, where ya at, how is your gardening treating you, give us an update.
My bro and I went to the hydro store today to look at compat flos and ended up chatting with the owner for 2 hours :rofl:. He is such a nice guy, I bought another dome and some starter trays for some coffe seeds and I havent decided what else I should try, anyone have any suggestions?

Anyway I will take some pics when I get home from work and post them up, bye for now.

:peace:

PS: Check out my brothers grow journal at grasscity, hes doing a damn good job on em, give him some feedback.

Edit: Also forgot I planted some Zebra tomatoes and Pear tomatoes :sun:
