Lookin' forward to finding out myself; first time growin' it. Ya got pods already? What kind of sample ya have? Whew, 6" of rain! Not under water here yet (on a hill), but more than wet enough. Damn tired of the 40's and they sure feel wrong in May. The critters are wondering where the...

Ya got a lot of pretty greenery there. :) Nice work.

Thanks, good to know I can count on some help. :) I wouldn't expect any record breaker, but would enjoy to see some numbers behind the pain. Yep, 2 different selections of the Douglah x Scorpion are started, one of which is the SS. Thanks Hope ya enjoyed the pods. Hope the rain dodges me...

Thanks, below average growth for seeds started February 15th, since many got sun scald as I fell asleep during their first day of full sun and baked em too long. Thanks, yeah I can't wait to get them in the ground. Watering has been a little easier this Spring though; one benefit of so much...

Lookin' good. Looks like you'll have all the pods you can handle this season. :)

Hope the water slows down soon and the weather warms a bit more too. Lows in the 40's the past few nights. Thanks MW. Wider rows this season (8ft.) will hopefully make a difference. Thanks armac, they're longing for more root space. It can't go on like this forever, or can it? The climate...

When the ground almost gets dry enough to work, it rains again. Plants are long past ready and beginning to get root bound. More rain today. At least the SE no longer suffers from a drought.

5 foot row spacing and 22" spacing within the rows. Moving up to 8 foot row spacing this season.

Looks good. How's the texture?

Nope, no flour in cornbread. Running low on buttermilk, but will get some soon and make a batch and try and get something resembling measurements of ingredients.

I cut my bacon used in cooking from frozen blocks of bacon ends, but either way it's BACON!!! :) I use this medium grind cornmeal. It adds a nice texture to the bread and I prefer white to yellow for the other meal. Two things that never go into my cornbread, flour or sugar. :P

I render some chopped bacon, pour a little of the bacon grease in the cast iron skillets, put them in the oven and set it to preheat while I'm mixing the rest along with the bacon or cracklin's if ya got 'em. Hot cast iron, the original and still the best non stick pan. ;)

When using blue cornmeal I get the best results by mixing it 50/50 with Martha White's white cornmeal. I don't think you'll get anything approaching the "fluffy" description using 100% blue. Try 50/50 with meal of choice with plenty of bacon as the base, buttermilk and what ever else strikes...

Molasses contains potassium, calcium, nitrogen, iron, magnesium, trace amounts of vitamins and micronutrients and promotes microbial activity. I add it to vermi compost tea while aerating to feed and boost the reproduction of beneficial bacteria.

Nope, it'll do the opposite and shift energy to plant growth.

I don't post much here during the winter months, but sensed something was missing here at THP and this post finally made me realize what it was. Welcome home Ronnie! :)

Back flow preventers aren't that expensive and certainly don't require any specialty skill to install (standard male/female hose thread inline installation). $2.50 each Or a brass back flow preventer: $5.24 each. I use a soaker hose dripline with embedded 1/2 gal per hour emitters ( no need to...

Yup, a single 4 ft. 54W T5 tube puts out 5000 initial lumens per tube, so a 4 ft. x 4 would give ya 20K.

Ahh, P has seen the light. ;) Lookin' good!

That light is only rated up to 8000 lumens, not 20K. http://www.hydrofarm.com/product.php?itemid=9650 Here's a better deal on a 20K lumen T5 4 ft. x 4 when you can catch them in stock ($79.99 + $9.95 shipping). http://www.lightingwise.com/item.asp?PID=142&FID=16&level=1 Hang them with chain...
