randyp 2016 IOWA,,Older and (bud) Wiser grow.

  Hello my friends,I am still in the cold  and slow time of year.I have my first(3) seedlings of the year.The first plant was the "Mystery Wine".A Chis Joyner masterpiece that eluded my garden last year due to my failure to do a good job drying seeds.I got this from a pod the reigning Growdown Champ (terry) sent me.Not many changes this year,And I still need the right hip replaced,I am holding out as long as I can,(7 years till I retire)I will update what's going in the garden when I see them in a pot,I put out a list before that never rang true so we will delay my "Wish List"
   Thanks for stopping by all you old and soon to be friends.My updates will pick up when my weather does,
Good luck to all of you this year.
Randy

installed doors on the seed starting station to help control temps..(my daughters old dollhouse I made her at 5 years old)I used parts lids I got from work.One had a neat drawing from a fellow co-worker must have worked up while not working.I liked it and decided I am an art collector.

It was smoked and damn good. Couldn't tell what kinda wood. I'm not good at those kind of things. Come to think of it. I don't think I've ever smoked pods before. How long do you smoke them for?
Apple Wood for 2 hrs cold smoke Chuck

Nice grow sir
Thanks for stopping in Rym.
 
Funny how you get so attached to them, and pulling them hurts. I'm into this season 10 months now, after a crummy start. Next season is my deciding year, as to whether it's best to start in Dec and do a spring grow or start in early summer for a fall grow. I'll give the Dec grow hell and see from there. :rolleyes:
