2011 Veggies

[DST]

A lot of plants will be happy with fairly neutral ph levels of 6.8-070.

All of my other chili plants dont look sad. I now this is a different strain, but cant be that different I wouldn't think. I have her in 5 gallons now. It is almost like she doesnt like the heat. She has been in way hotter during the summer though. Maybe she is too dry now after the repot? The high humidity at night is why she pops up only at night?
Ill repot the avocado into a larger pot.
What size do you recommend DST?

When ever I do a transplant into another pot, bed or ground I would give ig a good drink for the first couple to few days if its hot out.

actually the reason for the transplant was for pot size and that roots were soaked. I wanted it to dry out before it got root fungus or rot.
I would normally give it a good soak otherwise though. It might be time for a watering, and this time it night look sick from too lil water.

glad you finaly popped in mugan.
I to use neem oil on PM. i also use it before i get it to avoid it in the first place.
also to help keep it under control make sure to water at a time of day so that is the leaves get wet they will have time to dry in the day time before night fall

well guys i know i havent been a regular in this thread but i thought i'd give you all a chuckle...

check out my badass tommies

months and months for only one red ish tomato! it better be tasty. so recipe suggestions? thimble of salsa maybe?

 

[mcpurple]

sorry to hear you only got 1 toms DGT.
our farm toms also look like shjit right now but that is because they are out of season now and they have not had water for months.
and i would eat that sucker plain with some cheese or on a snadwitch

 

[Don Gin and Ton]

somehow i dont think i'll have much hassle cropping eh. they started out so promising as well... who'd have thought northern england would be crap for growing toms outdoors....

 

[DST]

Oh dear, well consolation mate is my neighbours one was even worse. Enjoy the salsa, looks nice and rich, bet it tastes good! Equivalent of smoke report will be expected. faf.

 

[mcpurple]

well i was out fixing my fence last night as it was all bent out of shape and looked like it was cut for some one to walk through. as i was fixing it the neighbor came out and let me know it was a bear that rolled right through it last year. about a 300 pound black bear just plowed right through. he said it only comes around 1 time a year if that for food and trash. i should be ok though as my other neibbghors along with almost every one on the mtn has chickens every where

Thats crazy!! Here the worst we have is possums rabbits and some cats and mice.....lol.
I see a wolf here and there in the empty/abandoned fields sometimes though.

you will find most plants enjoy that PH range, check out composts at gardening centres for more indiciations (or just googley woogley it). Some flowers and specific plants do require lower ph's so it's probably better to check info on each specific strain.

Also the possibility you guys have diff strain avacados. Since they arent all the same

glad you finaly popped in mugan.
I to use neem oil on PM. i also use it before i get it to avoid it in the first place.
also to help keep it under control make sure to water at a time of day so that is the leaves get wet they will have time to dry in the day time before night fall

kewl, have you guys used seranate ? what you think about it, i really wanna get neem oil but i can only find the extract, there is a neem tree here but i don't know how to get oil from it lolz..

You live near neem trees?? U must be in India or something?!?
I dont know how to extract it either, I buy it at hydro store...made by Dynagro

 

[mugan]

am not in India, the tree was planted fere, its really young

 

[fumble]

Hey McPurp. How have you been? I would love to live in the country or the mountains with bears and other wildlife. How exciting.

 

[bassman999]

I wouldnt even know a neem tree if I saw it...does it smell like neem, or is it too young? Hell I dont know if they ever even smell tell it is extracted to be honest.

I looked up images of neem tree it looks like a fern plant crossed with a tree

never used the stuff but have heard good things about it but thats about it.
as for the neem tree that is awesome that you have one. i want one so i can make my own neem.
I always assumed you extracted the oils from the leafs some how

im good fumble how about you?
and yes it is nice up here, last night i seen about ten coons in a trees staring down on me. kinda cool i guess.
i went hiking the other day and found a small crick with a few inches of water in it and about 5 miles up the mountain theri is fish in it and it is so shallow, i am pretty sure they are baby steel head, ive been told the salmon will reach up here when the crick is higher.

also my son is gonna be born soon. due dat is the 27th of this month so he can come at any moment now.
any way peace guys.
