That's a good idea, or that marker tape like Boboro is tying up his plants with. I just remembered the timber companies wrap them around trees and sometimes write stuff on them like "dead soon" and some numbers that only they know what the numbers mean. They last awhile.

Im getin into that damp, high RH time of the summer. I hope the doors and insalation keep some of the humidity out. Last year we had trouble with it and others seam to be getin it this year.

Man that looks good Chicken.
You've helped me understand much about growing, and soil amendments, and how to improve my soil.
I'm going for the full flavor mix next year but need to work on my dirt.
Lucky to have all your info to go by on how to go about it, but will know more after soil sample.

yeah,,,,, the season so far is looking really wet,,,,,, it's raining every day just like last year, when i was hit by mold.

but this year i aqquired a 5'th wheel camper, and that will be my hanging / heated room..... if i need to use it for that.

but im taking no chances it was got for that reason, and it will be used for its intended purpose.

i gotta update how big the CASTOR BEANS ARE..... they are huge,

Hell man I'm on PG. 23 thought I was on the last page. My thinking function is not so good and seems to erode as the day moves on. Nice patch and video chicken man!

That is a good looking garden. How much growing room are you going to have at the other place your moving to? how many plants have you got down so far?

Chicken,
If they are still green, don't take the temp above 104ºF, or the leaf will cook, and fix in the green.

Bob

thanks for that input,,, this is the first year im using the radiator heater,,, i lowered the temp last night, and looked in on it a while ago, and was holding a easy 98.f but i dropped the temp a little from that, let it have about 4 hours to level off, and then i may be at the temp im gonna leave it at,
