Yeah, I'm not overly concerned, beyond the fact that I'd be browsing weed sites at work :) I've been spraying my plants with both an epsom salt spray and a spray that has epsom salts and some mild kelp ferts. Seem to be greening up. I'll be adding some very dilute iron to it, to try and clear...

I notice that almost every time I go looking for something regarding planting, I get tons of hits for about every 420/weed/mary jane/etc site under the sun. I don't particularly care, but since I often am looking stuff up during breaks at work...lots of "oh crap!" moments when I don't pay...

Snap peas are outdoors. Added a trellis to each of the pea pots. I also stuck one of my beans out there, with a pole, I'll see how they do in the weather, and then the rest will go out. No sun for the peppers, today. Just rain. Rick spotted some brown spots on the plants I gave him, a potential...

Good to know. I've been misting with epsom salts, too, so hopefully it'll go away, if it's there. I just snagged some copper fungicide spray, to try and nuke anything that remains. It might be caused by my chronic overwatering, gonna back that off. I hope it doesn't cause any issues for you. My...

Filled up a 10 gallon pop and stuck a pair of Northfield Pea seedlings into it. I'll get a trellis in there, soon. I need to grow these in pots, because peas and beans get much taller than my garden is going to allow. Ran out of soil, or the snap peas I have would have gone out, too. Good to...

Looks good, bump!

I planted them in cups :) I was impatient, and wanted to get them started sooner rather than later, as my garden still is just a twinkle in my eye. That'll go up in a week or so, and I'll get the peas in there asap. If they die on transplant, I have a pile of other "seeds." Not too concerned. My...

Heh...we can't plant out until mid-may, and then only have 4 months or so before Papa Frost comes back and kills everything. I'm sure you can still have a monster year in SoCal, even with a May start. Get some fencing around the garden, and over, and under. Squirrels and rabbits will be a...

That's my thought, too...don't want to stress them more than they already are. They are starting to green up, which is cool. I think the problem remaining is overwatering. Again. Oops. I'll get the hang of it... Peas and beans are growing faster than I expected...kinda popped right up. I...

Got my beans popping, which is cool. Tomatillos went into the dirt, today, in cups in my greenhouse. Purple Malda and Green husk. The purple ones should make for some funky salsa, I'm looking forward to it. I also am going for germination round 2 on Early Jap, Gernika, Pasilla de Oaxaca and...

Word on the street is that maggots are good for compost, though I suppose depending on the situation it might get a bit overwhelming

Thanks, Rick. Maybe I'll mix up another batch that's a bit milder, get these babies nice and green.

These typical 30 degree New England temperature swings are killer :) It'll be nice when I can get them out full time. Hoping the bed will work out. Gonna be pricey, though, looking at around 6 yards of soil delivered, on top of the building materials. Will leaves on plants bounce back after a...

Jeez...why don't you grow any HOT peppers? :D Shame about all the wasted pods, time to condemn them to the compost pile so that they can feed future harvests

My plants outdoors, getting a bit of shade and fresh air. You can see the discoloration from the nute deficiency, they got another light misting today. I'll give them a little while before I spray them again. Noticed that there's gunk in the trays that I'm bottom feeding them in...guess the...

Comes down to cost. I ran the numbers a while ago, raw cedar boards would cost about twice as much as the blocks, and not last as long. Deck boards would probably be more expensive. It'll be ugly, but with some flowers and plants around the outside, I can purty it up as well as use plants that...

Right, so sprayed my peppers down last night with a foliar spray of water, burpee's "all natural plant food" and epsom salts. Hopefully that'll green them up right quick. Guess we'll see. Nothing as of this morning, but I'm impatient. The spray left a bit of a brown residue on the leaves, but ah...

Does the tequila help with your grow? ;) Looks good!

I'm kind of annoyed about a few of the annuums that didn't pop. Or, stubborn. I'm actually thinking of trying the "borg" method on some of the stubborn seeds I have. The mallorca variety apparently never grew for the the guy I got the seeds off of, so I should just go all out with what I have...

I guess we'll see, I have bags of both blood and bone meal :) I know they both are safe, she's just a little weird about things like that, sometimes. I'll look for the Garden Tone, I'm using Espoma's organic potting mix for my cups right now. I don't particularly care about organic-ness, but I...
