South Island NZ growing 2013/14

[Seanz]

Hey Seanz, if you have a little seed to spare of the NB11, I'd love some. Pretty please.

PM me your address and I'll post some and a list of what I can spare

 

[springheal]

Done, thanks

 

[rainmax]

Nice to have you back. Good reading for winter. All the best in new season.

 

[Boboro]

Put a couple new butts in them envolopes to keep from mashin em

 

[springheal]

I am surprised seeds get mashed as they are so tiny and strong? Postal people don't give a hoot anyway.

 

[Boboro]

Its sumthan bout the machines that mash them ,rollers or some such.

 

[springheal]

Yeh, I hadn't thought about that. Makes sense. Envelopes get the roller treatment.

 

[jekylnz]

No name; no personality. A nebbish. But high yielding and a sturdy grower. Sounds like a good candidate for grow-outs by a few members, to find out if it's a man or a muppet.

Bob

Yeah sounds like a good plan bob..maybe some of you guys with more knowledge would be able to pin down weather its a Burley or what

 

[Seanz]

Good call there Boboro I should do that more often Think i have some filter tips floating around here been ages since I rolled anything other than cigars But sure I could find something

Sean - I meant to ask if you had any problem with the NB11 roots.

Growing upside down as they are "down under", did you find any of them headed skyward?

This is embarrassing because I'm not "down under", but I planted a few seed upside down this year and had to dig the plants up and turn them over. I might should have waited until harvest time, cause there wasn't a single horn worm or aphid on a single plant. I may leave some like that next year and see what it does for my pest problem.

Growing upside down as they are "down under",

LOL. Reminds me of the time we tried to walk a gazillion ton track layer crane across a city street at night without a permit. The crane fell gizzard deep into the gigantic hole it made in the middle of the street. The next morning as we stood there with our tails between our legs, the city inspector, who had a sense of humor, said "Well, some Chinaman woke up this morning with an island in the middle of his rice paddy."

Sigh... Jack dont give up your day job to hit the comedy clubs mate
Being cereal I had no issues with them what so ever Stayed up in our westerlies handled the rain everything nature could throw at them. Im just bringing some into case now and then are going to have a crack at replicating lanes IQ. Man that's som nice candy tobacco, not much of a aro fan but i do like this stuff(so do the ladies).

 

[Seanz]

Alrighty then, got some seeds germinating today, An unknown seed that i forgot to label but I am thinking samsun, Perique, nb11 and some pa red, also some habenero, and cayanne chill, dwarf toms, Turned over a patch for my veges and sussed out some buckets for the baccy. Tomorrow after work its the brassicas, corn carrots and beans turn along with some virginia.

I'm envious of your springtime. I have winter ahead of me and after the wash (literally nonstop rain) of a spring and summer we had, I'd like to be starting the spring over again. I wish we got a mulligan for spring and summer!

 

[Seanz]

A bit of an update. So far all that has shown its head is the PA red. I'm wondering if my nb seed was immature. Though the heads were brown on the plant, so hoping its just my temps down here. but its strange that its been nearly twenty day and bugger all has happened. On the plus I'm smoking some of my oriental in my pipe as I type, And are really enjoying it Has a sorta cigar flavour to it And something else, quite pleased. right off to work have a good day people.

 

[springheal]

Yeh, it;s a real shame the germination rate is so poor and at 20 days!

Still the same with me regarding the NB11 seed. No movement to speak of.

Off to painting I go!
