Justaguy's 2011 Garden Season
- Thread starter Justaguy

keep us posted i bet its pods will be 
After an Isolation project this morning I walk out to my Fatalii Bed and find that one of my big boys had snapped bad. To me it looks like something rooted around in it. Wind just doesn't seem to fit because the others are ok. No digging this time like the cat did(I got him to stop coming over). I am wondering if one of the many dog walkers let their dog on a leash a little too long and let them sniff too close. The pine tree on the other side of the front yard got a good dose of fish emulsion today underneath so the cat can dig there and get sticky and sappy. It's just a garden so no need to say something if my dog broke a branch or three. Right????? Grrrrr. Went into save mode and had Jr. hold and help tie only to get done standing them up and look on the other side and see they were fully snapped. Here is what was lost minus a small branch that he couldn't hold.
And 1 stem survived attached and will be fed by a big root system.
All plant not have stakes next to them and the big ones are tied. Tomorrow I plan on tying more on the big ones and doing the smaller ones too.
For each of these pods we took off there was 1 or 2 small tiny ones that went in the trash with the branches.
These went in the dehydrator to then be powdered to go back on the Fatalii bed.
Tomorrow or Friday I will post my cross pics and questions.

Oh well only 2.5 hours sleep today, but I have an hour until I leave for work so I guess I will post this little cross.
Some of you may remember this single Choc Hab from last year's log.
After that big snap I had one branch and got a ripe pod that I collected seed from. It was growing next to Indonesian Chiles
So this year I got one to start and it has taken off.
Pods look odd.
Here is the Choc Hab Strain 8 I bought at a reputable nursery.(will be isolated later). In these next pics you see the strain 8 leaves next to my cross. and the caribbean red had leaves on the other side.
After 40 minutes or so Jr. and I got all the open flowers snipped and all the pods except the 2 biggest which will be precursors for shape and color viewing. Here are the pods we cut off.
Flavor says Indonesian Chile with a choc Hab smoky flavor. Pods are thicker then Indonesian Chiles with top to bottom wrinkle of sorts. I can't wait to see the final shape and color to go with the taste.
Isolation Complete

Could this be called................ a Fatality?

Dude, you need to post an armed guard out there man!
Nah it was a near death experience. What doesn't kill her will make her stronger. Lots of roots feeding that stalk.
Brian Jr. does. Taylor, my oldest, does but not often. Robert my middle son is just getting warmed up so no supers for him yet.
Never will I spread fish emulsions in an un-fenced garden again. The second and only other cat that gets in the garden has been spotted. Measures will be taken. No burials will be needed....yet.
Makes it all the more valuable of a learning experience. This is why I plant more then I think I will need. Never hard to find a home for extras.
Soooo.... when are you doing that eco/energy saving roof garden thing?
haha.... I hear it is great though... warm in the winter and save on heating, cool in the summer...
but best of all.... more garden space and very hard for dogs, cats and even light fingered neighbors to get to....

Brain Strain
This one in the pot is doing good and the one in the garden is getting big too
Trinidad Scorpion
This is one of the plants Pepp3rfreak bought for me in Maryland
Does that pod look right? Tried a green one and it has a chile taste and HOT. As compared to hab taste which I am more used to. I hope these are true.
