Looks like we all are setting pretty just waiting for that sun!

Also along with the sun, the Big River is opening up on Fri for Salmon and steelhead fishing! Will be spending my free time on the river!

Cheers

Columbia? I've been out to Bonneville a couple times over the past few weeks to hit the shad run. Always a blast.

I just catch and release normally. I love the catching part. Not a chance I'll ever eat em. Went with a few friends and they keep them for crab bait. We tallied up 96 as a group 2 weeks ago. :-)

I didn't know there were Shad out here. I lived in NJ on the Delaware River for a while, and in Lambertville every year they had a Shad Festival. Hey, any excuse to celebrate. We didn't have Salmon there, I don't recall ever trying Shad though. Someone said it was very boney and not very good...

American Shad are in every big river system...Most use em for bait...Crab bait, oversized sturgeon bait...

Blazing was mentioning Bonneville and catching Shad up there...That is the "Shad Rack" area!

Every year, late May early to mid June they run. Only hit around 500,000 through the dam this year. That's quite a bit less than normal. We went on a slow day. I started going around 4 years ago. I love it.

The only people I know that eat them are the Asians, and Russians. Slow cooker until the bones melt away pretty much.

Weather looks like it finally is warming up some. Even my vegetable garden is suffering. Sure glad I built a bigger greenhouse this year.

Windy inn the willamette valley today. Had 2 that were blown over sideways (the plants not the pots) emergency temp trellis until they move up into 65s with good cages next week. Tomorrow's payday, picking up a yard of better urban dirt premium.

What's your opinion on "better urbam dirt"?

I was going to go with their formula of premium in the bottom half of my container and standard on top half as they recommend but I then found "Down to Earth" organics out of Eugene. Their product was a little less costly.

It's good stuff, had to add some kelp, alfalfa and worm casting top dress as they are mostly root bound in their 15s. I'll leave enough head room to add more throughout the season.

I had plants in a mild mix early in their life and a 1" top dress of the premium, a bit of burning of the tips but nothing to slow them down.

So far so good, I'll be mixing with sunshine#4 when I transplant, maybe a bit of compost too as I don't want to dilute compost proportions in the mix

I've read (I think more than once) that because of all the overcast/rainy/dark weather we are having, that some people's plants are starting to show sex early. So I took a close look at mine, and some are. In my previous outdoor grows this hasn't happened until right around the first week of August. I'm hoping with the sun out now they'll slip back into veg without losing any time or getting any weird leaves...

Early sex, I think one of these is a girl, one might be a boy

Here are the full plants (each "plant" is actually a cluster of two or three)

Hmmm...ok brings up a question...I have started from seed this year...

My outdoor plants are in 50 gal raised beds...wouldnt outdoors show signs of sex about six weeks like indoor?

My indoor plants of the same strain as the outdoor are at 6 weeks/46 days and one if The Black is showing female. The rest I am guessing will start to show sometime this week.

I can assume The outdoor plants will show too?
