My down under grow log

[jekylnz]

Well ive got some starts in..been growing for a few of weeks now (since sept.9.planted date) 90% germination 7 days later..so I ended up with more than expected. .as I wasn't expecting such a high outcome rate..
At the moment most of them are cigar types besides some oriental..I will still be planting some Burley and flue types for cigarettes soon..I think it will be a good idea to have them maturing at different times..now I know ive got plenty of season to grow

 

[springheal]

You're going to be real busy soon.

 

[DGBAMA]

Later....I'm saying that now...im digging up more lawn every day. Haaha

 

[Seanz]

ha ha ha im hearing ya pots has turned into a bed lol my flatmate was kind enough to score me some sleepers so i am getting a bed sorted dug over adding chip and mulch then a layer of top soil to fill with veges.... yeah right a row of cab, brocolli chillies in pots then filling it up with bacca.

 

[springheal]

filling it up with bacca

Yeh, get your priorities right Sean.

And Todd, don't ask me if I want any of your excess plants.

 

[leverhead]

...Where am I going to put them all

It's a common problem! I think the only real limit is how much time you have to tend them.

I'm a good fella! I saved some space for tomatoes,lettuce,cauliflower,beans,spring onions,garlic and that maybe about it.

Anything grown in pots requires just too much attention, especially watering. Hanging stuff on the fence is good but be prepared to be constantly nursing them Todd.

Yeah maybe set it up in conjunction with a watering system
