When your growing withdrawal symptoms start, you can come help with mine.

What's your target planting date?

What's your target planting date?

First weekend of May, but may be a week later, just got driveway work scheduled for the new property about the same time. Have got a lot done out there, going to be a great place.

 

[DGBAMA]

Plants are coming along. Greenhouse needs a new cover, do they are still inside. Definitely not as nice as last year's plants.


They are getting minimal care, so I can spend more time on the new property. Which has made a lot of progress.

Definitely behind this year, and not the best looking, but here is current, moved to the greenhouse and drinking an Admire/Miracle Grow cocktail. Hopefully plant next weekend.

Yeah next weekend for me too..my back hurt too much to do it this past weekend.

I hope you find some time for them.
When I built this place it took 10 yrs. plus. Its Still ain't done.
Crap busting, Freaking old lady breaks every appliance daily, even the scag mower she manages to screw up. Freaking kids breaking everthing.
Do yourself a favor, when buying new appliances. Get the scratch and dent Stuff.
I bought all Jenn Air top of the notch crap.
That is what it is Crap.
My scratch and dent crap lasts longer in the rental house I have.
Enjoy they new property and if you get a chance plant some Baccy.

 

[DGBAMA]

I have had great lock with scratch and dent stuff too. Everything seems made disposable these days.

First row of Orientals is in.....long way to go...

 

[DGBAMA]

First patch in....no measuring tape, didn't even pick off the leaves that would be below ground. Down and dirty. Git-er-Done.

Looking Good, I ain't got no time for Love for mine this yr either.

From now till harvest, only time they will get is a spray once a week for worms, and water when necessary.

We will see how it turns out. Too much going on to baby them like I have in the past, but I feel I have a good underatanding of the needs of the plant at this point (4th year) and how little effort I can get away with.....I hope.

A good harvest with minimal effort is the goal, not Maximum harvest at any cost or amount of time.

You have a full plate this year. Need to get down and check out the new home place. Bet the Mustang is starting to feel neglected.

For sure. And all the maintenance getting the current place ready for market.

I like the two tone job.
What Satin black did you use. That is a PITA to spray and look even.

Plasti-dip. Dries super even. I find it a great paint to give a factory matte finish to molded window trims, plastic, wiper arms, etc.

Love having a friend with a tiller.


7 hours, start to finish. Near 400 plants.

You be Rocking & Rolling.
I Wish I had that energy.
Looking good tho.
