I was wondering if you were gonna grow veggies again this year BC

Both gardens look great so far, can't wait to be able to start my own

I got the cheap pine. and yes it all fit to my surprise! I couldn't afford the pressure treated for the 2x12 but the 4x4 that will hold everything together is pressure treated.

Time to spend a few hrs in this beautiful weather! Hope its as nice in your parts!

crumpled up and threw some dead debris at the bottom

about half a bag of mulch

a bag of compost

These are left over tea bags I used for my indoor plants, I ripped maybe 10-13 of them open and emptied in. They are full of bat and bird guano worm castings and sea weed. I doubt much of the seaweed made it seeing that its soluble. Next I tossed about 2 tsp of great white in, topped it all off with spent soil also from indoor mixed with fresh castings. Lastly I drenched it with about 3 gallons of the guano kelp tea.

The 16"'x6' bed is for the beans, I'll build a screen for them.

the pile of spent soil I have to work with

So I'll have 1- 3'x3'x12" bed (shown @ top) and 2-4'x3'x12" beds along with the 16"x6'x12" bed.
Its on my neighbors property so this is the area I have to work with, he wanted the 3x8 area split into 2 pieces (not sure why lol crazy old man) so thats why the next 2 beds will be 3x4, soo I'll try and use this separation of soil and amend it to fit separate plants needs

looks great man.
i like how you are putting in the used tea bags, even reg used teabags are goo for soil, the worms eat it.
i noticed you have the jiffy seed starter soil. how does that work out? ive been using black golds seed starting soil and it is great, it is just like FFLW but way cheaper and you get more for the price.
another good amendment that is free man is powder egg shells and used coffee grounds. the worms love to feed on them plus the help put nutes in to the soil. i also always put worms i find in my garden soil cuz they will make tunnels under neath and create alot more breathable space for roots not to mention they will be shitting the whole time in the soil making it even better. i can go out in my garden now and take a shovel load of dirt and their will be about 10-15 huge worms in it. so i am guessing theri is at least a few hundred worms in them.
you garden looks to be coming along great man, keep up the great veggie and ganja growing
i will have a small update later today.
oh ya i am gonna post a link for you , it is called three sisters planting, i dont know if i showed you already but it is a great way to grow corn,squash and pole beans

Damn I pretty much forgot about my veggie garden this year... I still have strawberries from last year covering the back planter, but I need to figure out what I am gonna grow.

Mc P and Whodat lookin good so far.

haha grow any thing and every thing you can man. i always leave my strawberries out for the winter they die off a bit cuz the freezes but they come back with much more vigor in spring.
thanks for stopping by man

ok i have had the pine apple in the water for 2 days now. one is in a cup of water and the other is in a small bubble cloner. i soaked them in hormex before i did so and i think it really helped they already have white root tips, im liking this new hormone i found.

i also did a tray of 72 cel pack yesterday.
i put in 6 of each veggie for now.
here is my line up so far.

zucchini
Dark green zucchini squash (mixed breed)
cali wonder bell peppers
beef steak tomatoes
abe lincon tomatoes
walla walla sweet onions
water melons
cantaloupe
straight 8 cucumbers
lemon cucumbers.
a lettuce sample pack that has 4 types of lettuce i nit.

i put more then 3 seeds in each one to ensure at least one came up. and with all the melon type plants i planted them in 2's cuz thats how they are supposed to be planted so when placed in the dirt outside they can pollinate each other.
so i should have sprouts soon.
my radishes and carrots i will just start directly in the ground when the weather warms. along with the pole beans and sugar snap peas.

the hormex was cheap and it seems to be working great.
the pics are just of the pineapples new homes, the hormex and the black gold seed mix i use. i took a pic of this cuz it is great dirt for very cheap. you get just as much as in a big bag of FFLW for less then half price and to me BG soil is better. i also added a hand full of mushroom compost into the seed mix as well as a few teaspoons of myco oregonisms to get them started off right.
i need a heat seed mat cuz it is kinda cold in the veggie room at night.


and whodat this link is for you if i have not showed you already

if you dont mind ill join in! already tilled my area that i grew in last year, just need to form my rows and get my seeds started. ill get some pics this weekend but ive already got bell pepper seeds, jalepeno seeds, corn seeds, and some other pepper that i cant think of the name right now. ill also be getting some tomatoes and possibly some strawberrys. last year we had some anaheim chilis, bell peppers, tomatoes, and some corn that didnt quite grow since it was planted late. any suggestions for some other veggies? i dont eat any but my family does and it saves some money so the more the merrier. i would say the area was 12X6 last year and has nearly doubled this year! got some steer manure tilled in with some amends as well.

ya man i dont mind come on in.
sounds like your off to a good start as well.
sounds like you got alot of veggies how about maybe some fruits?
cantoluope is really good, watermelons.
also lemon cucumbers are really good to eat plain or in salads, radishes are good and easy, maybe some carrots.
maybe pole beans, any type of bean, potatoes. artichokes are reall good but seem to be hard to fins for me.
theri are so many things you could grow man.

ya i may have to try some cantoluope and some watermelon this year. like you, last year was my first year doing my own garden and i had so many tomatoes it was rediculous. i need a bit of variety this year so ill look into some of the stuff you mentioned MC. potatoes would be good but ive heard they are a bitch to get rid of if you dont get every single one out of the ground. my grandpa grew some sweet peas which have beautiful flowers and produce some good peas which i may also look into.

Its a good ol veggie party in here lol

LG your plot sounds awesome! I gotta get some strawberries! some other types of berries sounds good too

I got my beds built but gonna research some stuff tonight and fill tomorrow.

Mcpurp Im looking foreword to seeing that pineapple grow

i will be doing my potatoes in pots or my home made natural raised bed. thank you for the heads up on that though it may have saved me in the future.

indeed it is a veggie party and a good one to.
i want some more berries to, i bought a blueberry last year but it died cuz i did not know it was an acid lover and i was giving it water at a ph of 7 when it should have been about 5.5 so it dies, but i do want another one, i also want grapes, raspberries, and i am trying to get some cash to buy either a pear tree,apple tree, peach tree,cherry tree or plum tree, i cant decide yet but i think i am leaning towards the peaches or cherries. they are also guarantee to produce fruit in the 1st year or they give you your money back and you get a free tree.

what type of research you be doing?
and ya i cant wait for them to root. from what i read you can leave them as a house plant and they wont produce or get huge but they look cool and give the house a smell of pine apple. or you can put them outside in summer to grow and bring inside to continue growing in a big pot and it said in 4-6 years it may produce fruit it is a long time but may be worth it, i just wanted to grow stuff that no one else is. i am also gonna try a banana tree, i sprouted a seed when i was in rehab but could not take it home so i am gonna try that to.
i want to grow every thing man it is crazy, if i see plants in the woods that i like i take them home.

whodat i was wondering if maybe you guys in your parts of the usa had any cool types of plants that dont grow here in oregon and maybe get me some seeds of a few varieties and i could do the same in return if that makes sense.
let me know, it be cool to grow something that isnt meant to be grown in this state

Good info on the berries, thats the kind of research im doing lol. I want to group plants that like similar soil conditions...
MMMM plum tree sounds good, there's quite a few growing in my area that I can pick off of though so I'll look into some other fruit bearing tree... Maybe a hop plant, eureka! lol. Unfortunately I dont live in New Orleans right now, I live in Denver so I can grow MMJ. Their are all kinds of crazy plants that grow down there! Do a quick google search on it, youl find some interesting stuff I think. Instead of buying a plum tree I may be able to take a cut and send it to you lol. As for the area Im in now Im not sure what the interesting things are that grow in colorado, I'll search some and see... Gotta love google.
Thats fking lame that they wouldn't let you keep your banana plant haters!
These are new orleans japanese plums. They are delicious! Id eat 50 a day when they're in season You need this lol

a hop plant would be awesome, i just learned that hops are related to canibus. thats cool your in CO. being medical is way more relaxing on the mind then worrying about other shit happening.
and hey a cut would be awesome, they take some time when that small to start producing fruit but if you can and want i will for sure take it man. i am also still most likely buying one just cuz it will produce fruit the first year, they are already about 7 feet tall.
\and i thin you posted a pic or a link but i cant see it for some odd reason, i will look up those cherries though for sure.
and ya the rehab wanted to keep it for them selfs but i will start one as soon as i go buy a nanner from the store.
hey man if you ever go to the dispensaries will you look to see if they have shishkaberry seeds, ive been looking all over for them and if you find them i will send the cash down for you to purchase them.
let me know.

i guess the pic opened up in my response

Yeah I notice the pic was f'd so I fixed it. I'll keep and eye out for your shishkaberry seed bro, and I want a cut of pineapple lol just jokes but it sounds funny to be saying this about non related mj. Yeah hops are like a cousin of cannabis its plumb crazy I tell ya! My two favorite mind altering substances, beer and cannabis, are soo closely related now I know hops isn't beer but still...

Yeah being state legal is awesome but the N.O. is home.

cherry trees are beautiful when they bloom besides just some good fruit. makes your yard something worth looking at. i like the guarantee on the fruit and the free tree and money back if it doesnt! would love to see how a bananna tree would do in your area since they are mainly tropical plants.

thanks man that would be cool if they had it down theri.
and hey if i can clone the plant its self then i would. it is easy to do though just get a pineapple from the store twist the top off and place it in a cloner of some sort till roots show.
and ya both my favorite mind altering substances to shrooms are right up theri as well though, i havent fried in so long that now im talking about it i might get some soon.

they need to make a cannabeer made with cannabis in it as well if not already made.

ya i really like the guarantee as well, plus the they are only 25 dollars so its not to much.
i dont think the banana will really fruit all that well but i think once mature i could get some small ones off of it, same with the pine apple they are a tropic plant as well, but if i keep them outside in summer and bring indoors under light in winter i might be able to do it. i just want to do it cuz no one else is and maybe even sell some, people are always into new things and trying it out

Bananas abundant down here, plus every type of fruit vegetable you could think of. Your Japanese Plum tree looks a lot like our Loquat tree out here



I dont know if you guys watch Man vs Food but I want to grow this pepper from one of the episodes called the ghost pepper or bhut jolokia i think. Some insanely hot pepper, but i think it would be fun to grow it. Also what would cause a Jalapeno pepper plant to grow fruit that is not spicy? Last season mine tasted like sweet peppers!!!

Bill
Loquat Japanese Plum same thing
I used to sell them as a kid
Maybe letting your peppers mature for too long will cause more sugars to be present and making it less spicy? What color were they?.

the pepper plant could have got pollinated form another type of plan is the only thing i can think of.
and i think i saw that episode, i watched a show once dont know the name but when he ate the peppers he had to sign a waver not to sue the restruant if he died or got injured, and htey had paramedics on the scene crazy shit

its kinda like if you grow cantaloupe close to cucumbers or lemon cucumber or even water melon, it is possible for them to cross pollinate and the seeds will be a mix of the 2.

theri was one guy on here who claims he crossed a cayenne plant with strawberry plant and he grew them out, he said he had pics but never showed them so i think he was lying but it can be done

whodatnation said:

Oh the possibilities!

Click to expand...

oh so many of them to, i tried to pollinate my cantoluope with the cucumbers but did not keep the seeds so i dont know if it worked out this year i will though.

i am also cross breeding the big tall sunflowers used to produce the spitting seeds with the smaller color full ones that get to about 1-2 feet tall i am hopeing the seeds will grow into medium sized color full plants

That all sounds a little weird to me. I think only certain families can cross pollinate. I was wondering if it was something in my soil.

I love eating those loquats whodat, reminds me of spending time at my grandma's when i was a kid, eating bowls of them.

yes weird indeed but what isn't weird now a days?
with some plants yes only the same type of family can be cross bred but other dont have to be.
did you have anything else growing near by.

i just thought in my mind just now that it would be great to cross hops with MJ and then use it to make some home brews
