first time with azomite. i got 1kg for transplant holes. got myco and humic acid on the way too.
first time growing tomatillo. had literally never heard of them before moving to japan and making american friends. It isn't something used in English cooking and mexican styles/salsas aren't...
All out. First feed with kelp emulsion
Finally found a new cover for my polytent. Also zeolite, Azomite and agricultural grade molasses. Not easily found
Tomatillo up!
looking great, man!
i actually don't like the LED green, but thats just me.
seedlings are looking really good. and i love the grow list! we gotta pod swap later in the year ;) haha
Good activity on the Orange 7 pot bonchi
Looks like the frosts are over, too.
Planning to harden off indoors next to the window, soon. Then I can get them outside in the polytent in a few weeks time.
Starting to get crowded as I separate
Roots grew much quicker with leaf mulch this year. Hope I didn't damage roots in separation.
I need to give away or cull soon anyway, but I want to pick healthy candidates.
yep! the seeds you sent me. great chilli and it was one of my best producers last summer. that plant is being bonsai'd this year, hope it turns out well!
wouldn't be impossible to get Hallertau, it would take some research work and money. they are actually a German hop in origin, but grow well in the northwest USA too.
It happened that my mate (he does gardening pretty damn well!) is growing hops. he needed to move/repot his centennial hop and...
Here's how things are looking. Need to separate and cull some, some I will give to friends.
Bonchi project underway. Korean gochu on the left, orange 7 pot on the right (it's starting to wake up and put out foliage.
Assumed that my jays red ghost Scorpion I planted were duds. But found this...
not tried growing hops before, but my parents have. they take a few years to get established. i can keep potting it up and hope to have some ground/my own brewery premises to put them in one day.
Hallertau are kickass hops. very soft and my favourite all the time i was home brewing before i went...
Tomatoes in.
Erica d'australie and cherry tomatoes
Also have a centennial hop rhizome outside now.
It's in a disposable keg haha. Will upgrade to bigger pot next year.
thats insane that they are so attracted to salt haha!
Actually the two species are not related. although it would seem so. Hedgehogs are Erinaceinae, porcupines are actualy rodents and more live a beaver than a hedgehog.
We get wild hedgehogs in the UK but they ave become rarer in the last ten...
And if you thought stills were cute, a hedgehog running is hilarious. You won't believe how long their legs are!

Thanks guys! Things seem to get better every year.
Sadly the albino shrivelled and died. Not to worry!
I have some myco and humic acid on its way from the states which will hopefully be here by plant out time.
Been gathering other soil amendments too, so it's not a mad rush to remix all...
Have two lights now instead of just one.
Should stop plants on the edge leaning so much. Also can have different distance levels, one Light higher than the other.
3 gallon is a great size for first season. i used two size pots last year for supers. 18L and 25L. the difference between the two was negligable. however if i improve my feeding and they were overwintered, i would see improvement in the bigger pots i feel.
however you CAN grow in smaller pots...
