BrandonB's 2019 glog!!

Wanted to wait until some signs of life were showing before starting the glog, and here we are.

Will be an outdoor container grow in humid north Florida. Will probably end with at least 10 cultivars.

Hopefully the heat and pests will be kind to me this season!!

Without further ado some 7 pot choccy and sepia serpent that are just starting their lives! Will be putting about 5 more varieties into towels tonight!!   Also i apologize for the terrible quality, im a shaky fella and my phone is rather poor. :D

(How long do you guys usually let radicles go before putting into medium?)

I have a Heeler/Collie mix, though she was intentionally bred for that mix just to get the attributes that both breeds can give off. She is quite old now and prolly does not have alot of time left sadly, has a hard time doing very much these days but still gets up for a good squirrel chase now and then.
 
Poor dog been passed around and we have had her the last 3-4 years now taking her from my brother who can't take care of himself never the less  a dog.
 
Will try and put some pics up later of her when we get home.
 
For sure Matt, nothing gets a thread going like some nice dog pics!!

And Andy we see you with another sly "accidental" page topper.

On another note I get home to see another damned tent moth caterpillar having lunch on my largest plant's largest leaf......

Bastard got me for a whole true leaf . Went straight for the stem too, no remorse.

Let's just say he won't be turning into a tent moth.

It sounds like the penalty is getting tougher.

I just got this dog, my last one died on Christmas eve, and the kids were asking for a puppy. So I asked my buddy if I could just have this one. She's a Presa Canario. I used to breed them, but once I had kids they were less of a priority than the real babies.

Really pretty, never heard of the breed but it looks like a pretty stout dog.   Sorry to hear about the lost one, always tough especially on the kids.

I let about 10 or so go back to their home trees before i actually caught one feasting.  At least it died with a full belly. :D
 
Another day another leaf gone on my biggest plant.

Plant was covered in some mucus(can see it faintly in the pic) with the newest leaf barely hanging on at the base. I'm starting to wonder if something else is happening besides tent moth caterpillars.

This was the only plant affected as well.

Oh and I planted out, but I'm losing growth faster than I'm gaining it so incentive to post pictures has been low lately.


I know it's small but the setbacks are coming in daily now. I'll get some pics of the plant out up later today!!

Some photos of the plantout and progress pics of the rest.  Still have around 20 plants that need plant out, 10 have been full potted so far.

Fungus gnats are out in full force, and something is giving one of my 7pot choccys a hard time, but all is still well here in Florida.
 
Edit: 100th post Wooohooooo!!
 
 
2nd Edit: I have found the culprit, and the filmy liquid that was covering my plant, which i was handling and smelling lmaooooooooooooooooooooo------- was my dogs piss covering the entire side of the cloth pot, and just making it over the top to dribble on my plant.....  I swear ill kill the bastard :D :D :D  (piss plant is featured in the 2nd and 3rd photo, if you smell real hard you cant miss it.)

And this big doofus is 'Darby'...the exact opposite of Shannon...She is loud..annoying..steals off the counter and gets into the trash, but is extremely protective of the family especially the kids.

Excluding last summer we had lost 2 dogs each of the 2 previous summers to old age, both of which were our babies until we have kids so it was pretty tough especially the first one. Won't be much easier once 'Miss Shannon' passes on and tbh she is not doing so great right now has not eaten much this past week, so we wonder if it is the beginning of the end type thing.

So speaking of pissing....think I may have when I read that edit...LOLS
 
Little bugger eh
 
Bunch of pics, some as old as the original pot up.

The piss plant expired sadly. And yesterday when I got home two plants had been dug up by something, one fatally. I'm guessing a stray cat from my nearby wood line. I also noticed small pin-holes popping up in the plant with the fly on it. Not sure the cause. I potted two plants into those empty planters, still at 10 full potted.

The aphids are already I'm town and have taken to destroying two of my extremely old lilys. We're sprayed with pyrethrin to pretty solid immediate effect.

(Can anyone tell me what the sawdust like material they leave behind is?)

Will be potting up at least 4 more plants today. Gave the full size ones a light feeding growth on them is looking great. Will post another progress dump on Tuesday.

Also featured is an order of some of Sawyer's candy. Stuff is hot and delicious, I highly recommend it. Also threw I'm some pretty nice seeds.

I figured it was something they were leaving behind, Lily's are amazing for them because of the corn-like growth. 15 leaves stacked inside of each other within 4 inches. Just enough separation for them to crawl between. 100x better home than a pepper plant. The same design also holds insecticide rather well though, so we'll see how it all turns out.
