Talking about Plantation Botanicals made me look them up and I found an interesting file on NEEM OIL, since we've had some discussion on it I thought I'd post a link to it. https://c.ymcdn.com/sites/www.echoc...E66CDFDB-0A0D-4DDE-8AB1-74D9D8C3EDD4/Neem.pdf
Interesting stuff on neem, there. I have heard it's good for scabies on dogs. I've also used it on my dogs for fleas, but my kids hate the smell so I got some other natural stuff for fleas that works well and smells nice. But the dogs hate it, probably because it's alcohol based and it stings. Myself, I don't mind the smell of neem.

Me either. I never thought about using it on my dogs but it couldn't hurt.

i know i snuck that fertilizer to you like a drug dealer in the middle of the night.:cool:

and tell your wife, '' thank-you'' for the meal. [ allthough my own wife sent me with a meal ]

needless to say; i ate like a king, and slept, in... [ must have been the a/c and the rumble of the truck ] and was late for my drop-off.

...................................................

how's it look in the daylight???:confused:

It's already in the ground. It looked good. Thank You! Jennifer was worried the meat would toughen if it cooled off. The Zimmer Spanish has gotten wild already. I cant wait until the fertilizer hits it.

I finished planting all the starts I had on the porch, now I have to go to the neighbors house and finish planting the 50 or so Big Gem I have over there. The new seedlings are coming up fine and by the time I start priming the plants they'll be just about ready to fill the veggie garden. So the second grow is well under way. I hope the cold hold's off like the last three years. If so the horse is gonna have some baccy that the rain didn't drown. Had pics to add but the phone just fell in the tub, I caught it at a foot deep, so no phone and no pics. If y'all try to call I cant answer till Tuesday, when the new phone arrives.

Take the battery out and put the phone in a bag of dry rice overnight. Most of the time it will pull the moisture out and the phone will work again.

I am, as soon as my back will let me stand up straight. LOL. I planted about another 100 today, cut the okra, picked peas, and built a new hog pen. I'm whipped! This is a double hydrocodone night.

My Zimmer Spanish have about 8 more leaves in the middle and a tiny bud down in there. So I don't think they'll make 5'. The good news is the new seedlings will be ready just in time for a normal weather pattern, I hope!

The last three years our first frost has been in the middle of Nov. so if I get one more year like that it will be fine for the second grow.
Hope it goes well with the second planting. It should grow faster in the better weather and hopefully beat the first frost.

Oct. 31 I have a 20% chance of a 32F frost. I'm still looking pretty good for the seed grow outs. Stogie said it takes a month longer to grow seed than it does to grow leaf.

And how much farther north are you than me? I'm only 65 miles from Jacksonville.

I'm west of Floyd Co. Ga. West and North of Atlanta. Birmingham, Chattanooga and Atlanta are all about 90 miles from me. I'm in the middle of the triangle.

It's beautiful. I rode through there a couple of years ago. There's a Bass Pro Shops not too far away on I-20. :rolleyes: I own most of that forest, and can give you a good deal on some ocean front. :cool:

I'm in! After you said Bass Pro that's it, the only thing that could make it better is if there's a harbor freight in the same plaza. LOL. If the doctor says I have to retire again, we're going to Alabama as my son wants to go to college there and in-state tuition you know. I'm going to play around with the gold thing, so it's a kind of a specific area we're looking. I told her ( the wife) I also want a 5 acre garden and 5 acres to rotate around my tobacco. :cool:

My cousin has a dredge and hunts gold all over the place. He does real good. I played with panning for awhile, it was a decent hobby but you won't get rich panning.
