You can go the gas lantern route. Run your lights for an hour at midnight. Plants go by length of darkness, not light, so by breaking up the night into two shorter nights, it thinks it's still summertime and keeps on keeping on. Note: you do not actually have to use a gas lantern to get this...

We had 20 odd days of rain and no sun in June. And I picked this year for a late start. Drowned seedlings, slow growth, and some of the few older plants I do have are flowering early.

Hey. It is always a good idea to fill your pots all the way up with dirt. Bigger pots would be alright too. Good luck.

Yesterday I side dressed the young squash and the peas. Used the push plow to work in the fertilizer on the peas.

Yesterday I pulled up the last of the crook neck and zuke squash. Just a few more acorn squash to pick, then I can get rid of those vines too.

I picked the first Armenian cucumber off the 2nd planting this morning. It's a good thing too. The Munchers are just about played out.

Look at your stalk anytime you have wilt. I lost a couple of nice plants to termites a month or so ago.

Yes, I put a plant in the hole this morning. I have a few peach trees growing over fish. They are kicking ass. Some of them got dug up, so I don't plant weed in them until later.

Our brains are changing because of the new tools. It's not good or bad, it just is. Just like in the years after Gutenberg made the printing press, people lost the skill of memorizing long texts. Somehow we will muddle through this. {I did not read all nine pages of this thread}

It's about 8 bucks for a pretty big bag of DE at Lowe's. Early on ants ate one of my Blue Shiva X Blue Shark sprouts.

When the nights get long enough, they will do their thing. Shouldn't be too long now.

I didn't know that about the ticks. But there were 2 or 3 of them, and some were living in the shed. The wife said they had to go, so.. . . I only killed one of them. We changed the time and amount we feed the cats, and haven't seen the others since.

This is my first year using pots. I sink them flush with the ground. But then I'm in the Sandhills, so drainage isn't a problem. We have been having lots of rain though. Dig your hole a little bigger than the pot, and put in some sand around the pot. Should help with drainage.

All four of those could have used another week of growth, but I had to have the space. Big thunderstorm this morning after I got them in the ground. Hope it didn't beat them down too bad.

The other two plants were Powernap X Sinmint Cookies X Gorille de Raisin. I put one of them in the last hole in HGw and had to search up the last hole in HG for the other one. On Monday May 22 this possum was tried, convicted and executed for habitual cat food stealing. The next morning, he...

This morning I took four to put in the HGw patch. Only 3 unused holes left in HGw, so I put the two Triangle Kush Cookies X Nightcap X Sinmint X Shit/Skunk in the first two holes. I found a little worm eating away on one of the seedlings. Too damn early to have to be worrying about them...

Alright, let me see what I have been up to. My pictures tell me I dropped off the Blue Shiva X Blue Shark sprout at the screen room last night. I culled a few of the sprouts, and the grasshoppers culled a few more for me. I had to move some stuff around, but got it all to fit in two sections...
