  • Been very busy recently, some life stuff...preparing to a possible move to Alaska later this year. I'm thinking of growing year round in a heated solarium :)

    North Pole area is generally nice. That is where I lived. Avoid anything on or near Cushman. That is where all the druggies live.

    Right now everything up there looks so damn expensive with my current pay, but once I get those 14 days straight checks it's gonna stack up really quickly. I have some other contacts in the Fairbanks area that have said something similar, good to note.

    It is very expensive. Everything is, so be prepared for sticker shock. People say, "Oh, it is because of the shipping" but everything you'll find is going to have a big green/blue label that says, "Alaska Grown". It is beautiful, though. You'll enjoy the 24 hours of daylight in the summer if you can hack the mosquitoes. Hard to beat 65 degrees outside while fishing in the daylight at 3am.
    Income taxation is slavery and extortion that can be enforced with violence. Wake up, America!

    Now you know why they keep saying "we need a strong middle class"... that's where they plan to get all of the money
    I've been super slacking about some of the seed trades I've been doing because of life stuff, if we had one in the works I'm going to do my best to take care of it by Friday. Cheers, ---Rich
    First seedlings up for 2015 are NuMex Sunrise, Tepin X Lemon Drop, Purple Flash, and Lucy. 100+ total up so far.

    I'm going to follow this thread. You are breaking new ground... with old buckets and bolted lettuce... it's like watching somebody discover cold fusion with bent paper-clips and a recycled mp3.

    LOL I just use other youtube videos on aquaponics as references and use what I have available to me. I'm probably going to put some lettuces in my sump tank too haha.

    Just watched all 3 vids. Pretty cool, never knew people grew nightshades for fun. Is it for the challenge? Ornamental? Just curious
    Helvete
    Helvete
    I think mostly it's out of curiosity. Some of them are extremely challenging like mandrake and if you find the right market they can be worth a lot of money. Some people collect carnivorous plants and I collect literally dangerous plants...I've gotten a rather large stock of Solanum species built up right now and looking to expand even more.
    Gojo is terrible on the hands this time of year

    Yup it does a good job of getting all the machine juices off my hands, but it strips all the natural oils out as well.

    Lava soap bar for me, Gojo works but is harsh on my perty hands!

    Helvete
    haha I do use the Lava at home but the dispensers at work all have "cherry flavored Gojo" in them
    been freezing here for a good two weeks now, I have a Fatalii in the little cheap greenhouse pumping out pods like crazy! Soon will have to bring it in though
    Spending the day uprooting plants and picking unripe chiles in super windy half frozen pelleted garbage was no fun
    Looks like I'm going to have to start my overwinter prep this weekend. Hard frost might come early this year :(
    This site seems to be a preffered target of love astrology spam. Pookie has some sinister enemies....
    Stuck a few plants in the greenhouse today, getting down to 38 tonight.

    Save room for some interesting Solanum spp.!
    (Seeds are on their way!)

    oh nice thanks man, I've got room. The greenhouse is actually going in the basement this year
    Helvete
    Helvete
    yup it's pretty damn chilly out there right now
    I'm starting to get nervous that frost is going to sneak up on me here.

    Heh, Spanish Inquisition...I don't need any of that...not with all these nightshades I'm growing.....
    Autumn allergies already kicking in XD

    yeah it's mold for me, I'll have a stuffy nose from now until frost. Spring/summer normally doesn't bother me but sometimes a damp spring will kick it in for a few weeks
