Today is May 12th
Day 22:
Here is a picture, with a lighter fluid bottle for scale. There are 20 Aztec, and 40 Lemon Rusticas. Crazily enough I may plant 20 of the (TA30 Tennessee Burley, from Seedman), do any of you have experience with that particular variety? I hear Burley have a little Vitamin N.
I hope you all have been well, I have been really busy making the mighty USD, really legitimately too, by trading BLOOD SWEAT AND TEARS. Lol feels humble, to say the least.
Yesterday I was stoked to finally get my 500 grams of Fribourg &Treyer- HIGH DRY TOAST, made by Wilson's Of Sharrow, in England. It took me two weeks four days to get it from Mr Snuff. They had it returned and they reshipped it something like 3 times becouse of the U.S. customs. 2 weeks for customs and four days for shipment. I am afraid they are going to clamp down on nasal snuff. Right now in the u.s.a. due to the (Pact law) domestic tobacconist are not aloud to sell domestic snuff to domestic customers over domestic websites, and possibly not aloud to ship nasal snuff thru the mail? At this point we can still buy from tobacconist across the pond as long as they legitimately pay the duties for importing the snuff thru customs. Only thing is customs been keeping our products hostage and not telling either end why they are making us suffer, not giving us a single legitimate reason why we have been troubled, so please don't cuss out Mr Snuff, or Toque Snuff for slow shipments they are both being harassed and it's not their fault. I wrote my congressman and other representatives regarding the situation, but Mr snuff and Toque would prefer (and have told me not to "rattle the cage") for fear of retribution and also fear that they clamp down on nasal snuff. It's a real pickle, and I'm not sure how much longer I will be able to get the stuff/snuff. I wished I new a way to figure out where the brick and mortar stores sell American Scotch Snuffs over the counter, allegedly that's still perfectly legal, and I live about 40 miles east of Pittsburgh if you know of some stores selling nasal snuffs. Maybe I need to just call around.
I think I'm going to start some bell peppers too, I always forget to get them at the store, but I love cooking with em' when I get the chance. I got seeds I saved from a pepper, but I should just get a pack of seeds from a reputable seed dealer, my labor is short and very valuable, to me anyways.
Here in the N.E. will be time to move em out soon, harden the plants, to the wind and stuff. I hope I have some luck this year. I hope this week asap the shop will be done with my truck, so I can get the free compost from the local recycling center, you have to pay them to use equipment to load the stuff, but I think 5 frog pelts a bucket load is a steal of a price. The recycling center has this machine that goes down the "road" sized rows of compost, and the machine flips it all into the next lane over. It's a recycled yard refuse leaves and Christmas trees, it is awesome compost. It's well worth picking out a couple small pieces of plastic bag, but some ppl would just leave it in. There is enough variety of plant materials composted that it seems very balanced. I didn't need to feed my garden for 3 years after on application, and then only added cal-mag for the tomatoes for years afterwards. VERY GOOD STUFF.
Im going to add a few pics to the grow log, and then get ready to take mom out to eat, it is Mother's Day! I wish you all a good week, take care.
