Mohican's 2013 Season with Compost, SS, and EWC

Subbed only one PG in lookn good mo

I asked Mrs RD what she thought of the location and she was OK with it. They have held several medical conventions there before. Just does not seem to have much parking and it is in an industrial edge of town.





I was just hoping it would be in the convention center. Like the Kush Fest that they hold in the Anaheim Convention Center - right across the street from Disneyland

Worked in the garden today. Started with the worms. They have eaten everything! Gave them some spinach and ground eggshell and they will be getting some strawberry scraps later.

Used the amended worm soil to fill a #7 Smart pot and transplanted the Beefsteak tomato. Cleaned up the garden. Still need to collect the ashes from the branch burn the other day.

The grow room is still a mess but it is getting closer to being finished.

Added the goodies along with regular supplements to some ProMix Bx and piled it on the blackberries. Need to prune away some dead canes and wire these up. Also need to enclose this area to protect from birds and squirrels!

Poured two bags of chicken manure under the front avocado to try and get some green back in her.

Loving all the pics my friend. Haha, I see you in that pic... just don't know which one is you. What's the ez up frame for? I dig the color of the brick wall too. Blends with the garden real nice. And nice grub, I just saw my first centipede working outside the other day. Was bright orange and looked just like the video game from way back.

Happy spring to you as well. Such a lovely time.

Hey Jigfresh thanks! That is The TGA group shot from the LA Cup. The EZ Up is the booth. I am photo bombing with the top hat. I love all the shades - you can tell it is SoCal!

Cheers,
Mo

Great pics Mo. Your garden is going to be real busy in a while. I had to laugh when I saw your Blueberry pic. My blueberry plant is literally just a twig at the moment, lol. It's nae looking gid!

Hey DST!

I tried to kill that blueberry and it was a twig up until last year when I found out they like lots of water and something like pH 4 soil. Started giving them organic compost to help condition the soil and hold moisture and dumped a box of sulfur on them to drop the pH. I expect next year to be twice as good. I gave the Tangerines micro and copper last year to help growth and sweetness and it worked very well. Now I am trying to get the blackberries happy. I just dumped a lode of good soil enhanced with bone, kelp, blood, guano... Then I found an article from a university that stated blackberries hate phosphorus! Oops! Well we will see how they do. The potatoes are finally popping out of the ground now and they look very squat - like Indica

Your garden is looking spectacular! The avocado looks very happy!

Cheers,
Mo

remind me not to dump a load of phosphorus on mine then....

dam, I forget what that product is called they use to retain water in certain mediums. It's used a lot in hanging basket soils...it'll come to me eventually. Perhaps I need to get some of that. Would help if I perhaps water my bleberry then? lol.

That's funny about the pic Mo... I didn't even see anybody over there on the side. Reminds me of the siddler on Seinfeld. And the question about the EZ up was in your back yard... you just have a frame being held to concrete anchors with orange straps. I couldn't figure out any possible use, but figured there was one as I don't think you'd go through all the trouble setting it up for nothing.

Loved the Siddler episode!

The frame was for my outdoor Malawi so I could keep it dry:









Still got rot before it fully finished - need a greenhouse







Was a magic plant all the same:






The blocks and straps were there to keep it from flying away when the winds got strong.


Cheers,
Mo

Wow! I am so glad I asked that question to get a look at that beauty. Holy Cow man. What a beautiful girl. You must have been gutted about the rot... but I'm sure she still yeiled more than a bit anyways. Malawi is a pretty strong sativa right? I bet it was lovely smoke.

Nice work. You are quite the gardener.

Thanks! The smoke is great - smooth, makes the lips numb and then you forget who you are, where you are and how to breathe! The shit is nutz :O

Soloed a doob a couple weeks ago to see if it would be hallucinogenic in high doses. So smooth I could not even tell I was smoking and the exhale was full of smoke. Had to relight it twice. Had a nice buzz going and hopped in the shower to clean up from a day in the garden.

Things got tense! I had to keep telling myself I was high and everything would be OK. Shower seemed like it took forever and it was only 15 minutes. Took about another 30 minute to stop feeling like I was falling off of the side of the Earth and I slipped in to a nice happy place. Happy lasted about 3 hours.

I need to try the bubble and see if it has the same result.

Cheers,
Mo

That post made my day. I really do enjoy that temporary psychosis sometimes.

If you have a scrip - come visit and I can donate some meds.

Hey Mo, I`m loving this garden mate, variety`s the spice of life right? . I got a couple watermelons, peppers, and 2 kinds of tomatoes going this year. I`ll be following your Strawberries closely as I`ve nevver done them but want to start some from seed soon (I hear they`re notoriously finicky and hard from seed). Got any advice for them? Otherwise I`m subbed for what will surely be a good year for you mate. Best wishes,

KC

If you plant strawberry seed don't plan on getting strawberries this year, if you want strawberries this year go buy the small plants and even then it usually takes a year or two to actually get strawberries from them, in my climate anyway

I know it`s a process, why I want to get on it for next year`s crops. Like starting from seeds as well, pre-grown feels like cheating. Get some an accomplished feeling after seeing something transform from bare dirt into something delicious
