thats a big list, but im gonna find a spot for all of them,,, if i have to grow them along the fence-line like a hedge...

i'll proablly end up doing a DELUXESTOGIE type of grow, 2 big plots,,,, and a bunch of random plants threw in a square plot.

im trying my hand at a bunch of unknown varities, to possiblly boost up a cigg. '' give it a little something different ''

...all the cigar varities are gonna be '' new growing'' to me.

i'll get some pic's of what i got going on, '' later''

^^^^^

glad to be back,,,,

im so ready for the season,,, i got the BACKPACK sprayer,,,, and plenty of B.T. on standby....

ive stockpiled some excellent fertilizer,,, organic, and non-organic... my soil has a very light clay mix to it,,, a crumblly type of clay, and not much of it, so perhaps watering will be different than my last growing location was,

and of course, ive got the vegetable garden to do,,,, i didnt need to use any of my grow lighting, for this years crop. i didnt start them when it was still cold like i normally do,

and of course, im starting to pick up '' survey stakes '' as i come upon them,, [ they are the ultimate plant support stake ]

i think i have plenty of wire to string them up with when the time comes,,,

still enjoying the fruit's of last years crop as i write this,,,,

thats sort of why i aint been around in a while,,,,i had to put that money in other places, besides the '' internet''

i had a lot of things to do to the place, money went elsewhere,

im putting a mule of a tiller toghter, it may be '' ready '' this weekend,,,,ive had '' bearing'' on the rewind crank '' issues'' wouldnt wind the rope back up...

and i think i need a new plug,, i had fire on a car plug, but not the plug i currentlly have,,,

im gonna give it a shot, of starter fluid, and bring this '' dynosaur'' back to life.....it's a front tine tiller.. A WORKMULE....and im gonna make it '' root '' like a mad boar...

Good to see your back. Nice list you have for this year. Are you going to start smoking cigars, or just awesome cigarettes?

WELL DAMN.....

my seedlings are all dead,,,

i started them inside near a window, and just this last weekend moved them to the greenhouse,,,,,and upgraded from the 1 gallon sprayer to the backpack sprayer...

I FORGOT TO CLEAN IT SINCE IT'S LAST USE..... i used weedkiller in it around last nov.

oh well glad im in the tropics. i got plenty of time to restart,,,,, i just hope i still got all the seed, i think maybe 3 strains i used all the seed i had,

note to self ; all ways clean out the sprayer before first initial usage,:(

Bummer! At least you'll still get your grow in and they weren't too far along.

true... they were only 4 weeks old, just little green dots...

Don't bother. Take some Bigbonner seedlings. I hear over the ocean that they are the best.

I bought a few seedlings from Larry last year and they put my seedlings to shame. Big thick stems and much larger than my plants even though mine were started before Larry's. He's the man.

Sorry to hear that Chicken, If the weather doesn't kick our butts,
We somehow manage to do it to ourselves once in a while. I have some seed left if you are interested in anything I have.
