P-Son's "mild to wild" Manscaping prohibited!!

After a couple nudging pm's it is time to get things rolling...well, get a list situated atleast. I won't be starting my seeds until March 1 this season. This list is subject to change, and I'm betting it will before I'm done typing. My two goals this season are 1.) Take less pics and better quality 2.)Sow later and achieve similar yields. My germination techniques and set up are not inspirational or extravagant so the bulk of my updates will be after early june plant out. Fert apllication and medium are changing a tiny bit but staying simple with it.

c lanceolatum.... Holy Grail stuff!!! After 47 days I sowed my last couple seeds in a last ditch effort. 9 or 10 days later and this guy hooks. I'm over the moon...that is until I see the seed hull hanging on. Really?? So what do you do when only 1 sprouts out of your 7 seeds and it has a helmet head? Surgery ensued! I weaseled the pinhead sized casing off and everything looked nice and green but in a few hours it started looking rough. Fingers crossed for now. Excuse the cell phone picture here.

My appologies to all for slacking the last couple months. Chasing Smallmouth has been eating up a lot of my time and the Steelhead are starting to run.Chiles are on the backburner for now.I am officially starting to yank my plants. Normally I would let them go on until frost but I just want this to end. A few special plants may get cut, cleaned and put into a friends greenhouse,and like with everyone,I am tossing around ideas for 2014 already.

So neither he who plants nor he who waters is anything, but only God, who makes things grow.
 
+1 on the great season and ready for some down time....but then why do have seeds starting already? Definitely don't want to run from Jan to Nov. again next year, I want late June to be it.
 
Wish I had a beautiful river near here with fish in it.
 
Have a great week!
 
John I know da peppers are done and pulled but how’s da fishing? We’re just into season now and da mullet are running strong in our rivers and beaches. So I’ll be now fishing as much as time permits … good luck on da WaterMon!
 
Edit: for dem dat don't know mullet is very good bait fish down here. Plus on our west coast they smoke them and they can be found for sale almost everywhere.
 
Hab a great day!
