I'll also be trying my hand at some very awesome plants this year. Humulus Lupulus (Hops) ! Perhaps even some grains! Might try some rye, barley, and african finger millet.

I've literally just been getting the compost ready and trying to keep these hops semi dormant in the basement. Doesn't look like I've been able to keep em down though...lol

They will go into the ground later this month, under a long trellis.

Farewell Mrs Fatalii. You live forever

 

[Datil]

Good luck Guru!
I'm sure that one of today's starts will be the next big mother tree next year!

[TheFanMan]

poor poor Fatalii

 

[millworkman]

It is sad to see my old mistress has passed. I shall have some brews in her name.

 

[windchicken]

We all cherish the memories of the great Fatali mother....

 

[Pepper-Guru]

Great day to work the compost pile and survey the remains of last years garden.

The graveyard.

The battle field...

 

[millworkman]

That's a sad site rich. Looking forward to thus years grow though!

 

[Jamison]

I'm sure glad I got one Fatalii plant growing from her genetics! Still got some seeds too!

 

[Pepper-Guru]

No worries mate! Give it a month or two! Gonna have some greenery to show off! I've got that old familiar burning inside to raise my little babies, obsessively watching over them as they inch along from hooks to trees, all the while knowing the delicate work will pay off come harvest season. Ahh, the gardener's life.

 

[millworkman]

Ha ha ha. Good. Can't wait to see them.

 

[Spicegeist]

I imagine I understand... letting things go, having a fresh start. Good luck with this year's grow!

 

[Pr0digal_son]

Hey Rich, Do you use any artificial lighting to get things started?

 

[Pepper-Guru]

MH/HPS and compact florescents. I'd love to get another T5 sometime as well.

 

[GA Growhead]

Can't wait to hit the trout streams too! Saving heads and innards this year for sure. Already thought about the few year round creeks, but haven't made it happen with all going on currently.
Stoked your glog'n again. Nice to see a fellow GA grow. & Always have enjoyed the info you share. Great reads!
Plenty of heat on that list. I have always wondered if we could grow hops here.
Need to let me know where to buy one of your brews when down in your area. Brewing for a pub correct? Would love to try one. Pm me if need be.

 

[Trippa]

Nice to see you back for another round guru .... enjoy your season ahead

No pub just yet. Were not quite certain on location at the moment. We have a place in mind and are venturing out there in a few weeks. Have most of our recipes down though! Plenty of brew in the basement for a get together Im sure. Maybe after I get back and get the garden going a bit we can sit back, grill up something and watch the plants grow over a nice ale.

Do you use your spent mash and other leftovers in your pepper grow?

 

[Pepper-Guru]

Yep! If you look close you'll see the one compost pile is full of grain!

I see that now. I didn't recognize it at first. (Actually thought it might have been cotton hulls, but that's just the southerner in me.)

 

[Pepper-Guru]

Ahhh, that's better
