thanks little grower, charish the time, far too fast they are gone. n ill try that, know how us old stoners are lol

my onions are coming in. i pulled 75 large red on monday, braded and hung yesterday. pulled another 75 spanish whites today n set out to cure. have another 75 walawala yellow still finishing off. i pulled a sample of the 100 sets of garlic i planted, they are close. had bad rust this yr on the garlic. looks like hell but i dont think its affected harvest.
the peppers are setting fruit as well as the tomatoes. i lost the first set of tomatoes and eggplants with that cold snap. just nowblooming again with the eggplants.
i pulled 5 tomato plants as they looked to have early blight, sprayed the sorrounding plants with garden safe 3. replanted with vollinteers from last yrs black krim.
i have to dig the potatoes as they are finished too. think ill just replant n see, it may be too hot, its only a 4x4 area so not a big loss if it goes sour. ill get my sorry ass in gear n get some pics for ya

thanks dst yea we just finished our rainy saeson here, were running 1 1/2 mo behind normal. makes for growing hard to reach the quota.

sounds like you got quite the garden plot 4tatude.ill be looking forward to the pics, i am gonna shoot the video of mine either to night after work or tommorow on my day off

we were in austria and they said their crops where behind, LGP said farmers around her area in the uk had crops behind. guess the seasons are just funky. Perhaps indoor growing is the stable wway?!?! mmmm, I hope not.

hi veggers!!! big wave.

DST

I think one of my yellow squash is a mutant...

Its like 10X the size of any of the other ones on the plant.



Cantaloupe





And my Thai Basil

dang bill that squash found bonds drop of steroids lol. i sometimes get a mutant, really its usually a freak set that happened at the first flower therefore giving the jump. love the curlyQ on the cantalope. he basel is great! its just now really getting warm (the soil) here n time for some serious veg growing. ive a few peppers n tomatoes coming on but still no eggplants. ive picked a few yellow n green zukes, they are just getting started. got proly 30# of spuds from my little patch, decided not to replant yet its gona be too hot n i hate digging rotted spuds yuck!!! had some early blight show up on my maters this time. pulled 8 well established plants and set in new from volunteers from last yr.

Mutant indeed BC, looks like it's coming along. One of my pumpkins is starting to grow a bit but the rest are all slightly small golf ball size. I just can't seem to keep the leaves on them either what with the constant mite war in the greenhouse. WIll get soem update for all at some point.

Have a good one,

DST

Little veg update...

First toms have appeared.


I just liked the colour comparison on the leaf...


Been bending and slightly pinching the Toms since they are hitting the roof. I moved them all around now though


Really not sure if our pumkins are going to get much bigger...fingers crossed.


Cucumber on a roll now.



I just planted some more of these a few weeks ago but it was too hot and out of all the little pots I put down onyl 3 new ones came up.


Beautiful cauliflower...imo.


Enjoy fellow veggers. Bloody weather here is mad at the moment. We have now nearly 2 weeks of rain in June! ffs.

Peace, DST

very nice DST, that lettuce looks like it can be harvested or it can go bitter on you, unless you are letting it go to head.

i shot a video 2 days ago now of my garden i just havent been able to upload it on my cpu so im waiting till i can use my friends cpu, by the time i get it up im sure a new one will be due to show.

every thing i have is growing great and strong, my toms are hitting 3 ft and flowering, they are very bushy as well, my sqaush x zuzhini has leafs about 18 inches wide and getting bigger, i alos got fruits on them as well.
sorry for the delay guys, ill get some sort of something up soon

My wife said the same thing McP. We will be using them over the coming week, I just think if we chop 4 lettuce at once we will end up throwing some away. The red icebergs have still got a way to go.

cheers bru and look forward to the vid.


EDIT: Prawn cocktail for dinner it is

ya lettuce is best used in the 1st few days of harvest. i have about 6 lettuce and every wee know i harvest them i get about 2 pounds of lettuce, way more then enough for me and my girl, so i give about half to my mother, i am gonna let a few lettuce go to head this year i think and maybe let some make seeds so i can have more for nest years run, i love using my own seeds now.

also forgot to add you can harvest just want yu want to use as well, i just cut the whole plant a few inches above ground level cuz i harvest it all, if you only want a small side dish or a piece for a burger then you can harvest just a few outer leafs and they will be fine

sweet, my RIU visitors had home grown lettuce on their hamburgers when they were over.

just a few pics since i cant seem to get this video uploaded, it will get done though, i dont want to type a page of explanations of the stuff. so here is a few pics.

1st pic is from about 3 weeks ago if not less.
every thing is growing so fast and strong, i didnt expect every thing to get so big so early on in the year, but that is a good thing ey?

ive been adding some fish emulsion 0-10-10 to help every thing get big blooms

any way heres the pics.


oh ya and my job has been going great, ive probably harvested a few hundred pounds of just greens, a few thousand of radish, i have planted about 200 eggplant and about 2000 toms with more to go.

Mmmmmmmm burgers
Man looks like I'll have to post something up eh!

thanks man, my boss is looking for another farm hand, we have me and him and we maintain every thing, from sales to growing the food, and supplying restraunts. next week we are gonna start brewing beer on a small scale till we get a good recipe and then we will make a bulk load and see how it sales, we are hoping for a 9.0% alc. or higher but still taste great.
and yes alot of learning i have done since i have started theri, my boss is already talking about when he goes to Hawaii in dec. that i will be in charge of the farm and every one that he is soon to hire, we get along great and drink beers for the last half hour of the day, i think he is a stoner as well but i dont want to ask him or give my self away.
and yes the plants are very happy
