Brian2112's 2012 Grow

stc3248 · Feb 21, 2012

Your strawberry setup looks shweeeet! Peppers looking good too! What happened to the two wilted ones in the first pepper photo? They look like a couple of mine looked after we forgot to open the greenhouse.

Hope you have a great season!

Cant wait to see Spikey babies.....I just transplanted 84 to pots, and had to leave em to go work for a few weeks.Fingers crossed.Looks like you'll have bucket loads of Douglahs!

Very nice start Brian! The babies are looking real happy. When will you set them out?

I like the frames for the bird netting. I have to do that for my baby chiles in the early season, until they get up to 8-10 inches or so, but my frames are not nearly so neat and well-built...

Good luck with your grow! As usual, you are several weeks ahead of me...

Thanks Gary!
Im not sure when i'll sent them out..... lol, i guess when i run out of room...
Yeah, the netting helps out alot keeping the amimals out!
Good luck with your plants this year man, im sure they will be huge!

Update 2/21/12
I started working the ground on my "location 2", I just need to plan out my rows and how im going to layout the whole thing....

Some of the Strawberry plants as of 2/21/12
Looking good!

windchicken · Feb 22, 2012

Brian, that "Location 2" spot has got to be the largest, most perfect raised bed I have ever seen! Considering that primo Mississippi River alluvial soil you have there, combined with your "mad skilz", I think you will probably outgrow waywright and Silver Surfer this year...

Brian2112 · Feb 23, 2012

Haha, i dont know about outgrowing either of them two....!, but i'll probably have more than i can handle thats for sure!
The "location 2" is an unused dirt mount that was for a house, but it is not needed anymore so i asked permission to use it! The property is for my best friend and its right next to my property. :halo:

Pictures taken on 2/23/12
Some of the seedlings..
And a big Strawberry that i picked! (thats my wife's hand!) lol

Dude, you have definitely got the touch for growing things! That fat berry looks mighty tasty!

You may want to get in touch with millworkman or one of the other admins about getting this thread moved over to the "Glogs" ("Grow Logs") section where it will get more attention from the other growers. When they first put up that new board the admins moved all the grow logs over there, but they seemed to have missed yours.

I'm really looking forward to your grow this year, with the killer raised garden and your growing skills...I've got a feeling the Douglahs of St. James Parish will be legendary!

Gary

Brian2112 · Mar 3, 2012

Haha thanks Gary!
Im going to try to make some legendary Douglahs for St. James Parish, hopefully there will be some brave souls that will want to buy some! :fireball:

Yes, when i posted this I was not paying attention, I will try to get it moved to "Glogs"

MGOLD86 · Mar 3, 2012

I, like every other obsessed chili head, can't wait to see how those spikey scorps turn out. Gonna be amazing.

Brian, will you keep Spikey in his cage or will you give him some freedom? :mouthonfire:

I believe you are betting on the right horse—The flavor of those Douglahs you sent me was outstanding.

I think of Spikey like Chuck Norris, he does what he wants and I don't think I could stop him! Lol
Spikey might roundhouse kick me in the face..

Brian2112 · Mar 5, 2012

7 Pot Brainstrain in a 5 gallon container

Thanks !
I have 5 Spikey plants, they are all still small though.. I still have some seeds just incase..

Brian2112 · Mar 12, 2012

Update 3/12/12
Some little Spikey babies!

Yellow 7s

Other stuff

These are all new Douglahs that I am starting.... kinda had seeds to burn..lol

windchicken · Mar 15, 2012

What's it looking like for ya? Did you get flooded out? I believe if I had plants ready I could have set them out a couple weeks ago. The dogwoods and wisteria are already blooming!

Yeah, man, go for the Douglahs...I love the big, late seed starts...it's like that last-minute, split-second inspiration, if you know what I mean. I threw a bunch of red Scorpion seeds in a little window tray a couple weeks ago and they're taking off like crazy...100% germination on seeds I scraped out of an old shriveled-up pod I found in a drawer....
