Been a busy few days. Got back from upnorth and proposing to the lady (she said yes!) Everything is going quite well, leaves are color curing well, still pretty dry up here but chillier nights. Pictures to come!

Congrats, I wish you and your wife to be all the best life has to offer. Always remember...life is what you make it, nothing more nor nothing less.

I've been telling young couples that for a long time, but now it seems to mean a lot more than the face value. Government can not make your life, regardless of what you've heard lately. It really is and always will be up to you to choose and pursue your own path.

Kindest regards to the Misses,
Don

just dont have any kids early in the relationship.

be single, for 5 years, and see if the marriage grows root's.

a lot of marriages dont make it to the first 5 year mark,

^^^ words from my own past experience,

I agree to the utmost Don. I can trust the government for 1 thing, and that is to be untrustworthy. It was instilled in me to work hard and you sleep hard, get handed chit and you will have an unhappy life, if not in the short term, in the long term.

I'll try and take your word of advice Chicken! I've still got another year before I go to the academy so I can't begin to think about having kids (as much as I would love to). We've both grown up in difficult homes but with God we can have a fair chance at a good healthy marriage I believe


Thanks again guys!

Congratulations and many happy years. Many kids and Grandkids to boot. They are every bit as much fun as your children if not more. You can spoil them and send them home.

If they end up being anything like me, spoiling them with a woods to play in is better than things!

Yep, Grand kids and I get on just fine. We have a common enemy.

Oh how I wish I could post a copy of the smell of this leaf. I had a mature leaf weeks ago from the green brior that dried perfectly, it's browned quite well and i've had it just hanging here aging, spraying it slightly to keep the rh up.

And I tell you what...

It smells delicious right now, A very deep smell, almost peppery!

Updates:

Curing shed: Everything is curing/drying quite well.
-Green brior: browning beautifully
-silk leaf: small amounts but smells/looks/feels really nice
-ytb: decent amounts, curing/drying as expected
-havana 142: taking a helluhva long time to dry and cure, my first harvest is just now browning/drying, not sure if it's just this breed or placement in shed.

Plot:
-green brior seeds are growing nicely, nice tall plant and beautiful flowers (pictured below
-ytb seeds are coming along, flowers are starting to dry up
-cucumbers fried few weeks ago with the intense heat
-Okra growing alright - letting 2 pods go to full maturity for seed for next year
