Used to hang with the sheriffs kid in Geneva as a teen. We got away with a lot:fire:

I was friends with some kids who's mamma was from Geneva. I used to go with them to visit. The state line ran through their yard. I was pretty young when we used to go, 12-13 years old. The one thing I remember was how everyone my age smoked, used snuff or chewing tobacco.

well the past few days of unexpected late cold have taken a toll on my potato plants and tomato plants. peppers look decent, brussels sprouts loving life... same with the onions. corn is still alive, so i guess i a, ok there.

everything should recover, just a little retardation to start the spring.

Used to use package fertz. Have been making teas lately. Will all the stuff I have been spraying on leaves and soil effect the taste of my veggies? Tea, coffee, red pepper, eucalyptus, nicotine, mustard, citrus rinds, etc.

I Hung a pipe with an elbow that goes into a bucket with a pump in the light that spills off my canopy.
I stuck some strips of foam with some cut up brown envelope into holes I drilled,to form little stomata, and put my seedlings as well as some weed cuttings in the hole.
I have no idea what ppms I'm running. Just took some leftover flowering nutes and mixed some water with and put it in the bucket .
My purple cabbages have their second leaves already. I like growing without substrate. My next cycle will have one tray of cheese in rockwool on polyester batting being fed by a nutrient film.

I made a nft system last year out of a down spout from a rain gutter that I bored holes in and old used pill bottles(big ones) with holes drilled into them as net pots set in the bore holes of the down spout.. worked good until it got into the 100's °f then my plants got cooked ..

I've grown one of those two many times, inside under very controlled conditions. Outside with nature in the mix I'm not real confident.

My best tomatoes have always come when I left them alone to do what they do, just stopping by to water them now and again. I dig a hole, amend the native soil a bit with some compost, plant, water and off they go. Nothing like a fresh tomato from the garden.

I had to come in for a few hours of office relief this morning. Not too much hiking, but lots of gardening and camping this week. Planted the pole beans in the field corn. Transplanted the 3 bought Mammoth Jalapeno plants into the pepper pit. Transplanted the Nina beans into the gourd spot in the front yard, after moving the fence from Mamma's old garden spot. Transplanted 1 peach, 1 lowquat and 2 kumquat trees. Plowed and hoed everything. Sprouts on the squash.

Pictures to follow, when I have more time.
