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.

Now for the good stuff.... 70's style! These are some old and new pics of the pubes and wilds I have growing currently.

eximium and cardenasii

tovarii and galapagoense

flexuosum

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.

Wow Prodigal! So many of your pics are just stunning! Amazing wilds and flowering plants! I love the Douglah flower the most I think. Really dig the historical trek pics too. I have been wanting to grow some red current for jam. Maybe next year. Looking forward to that raised bed with plants.

Congratulations on the fantastic plants you have!

 

[Dshlogg]

Man your photography is just beautiful. Thanks for the updates. Looking forward to seeing some shots of your wilds when they bloom.

Congrats on the Galapa Bud.........that's a hairy little thing. I wonder if it will produce more than one per node?

I renege Greg! I see a second bud forming. All the photos I have seen show one per node but this one is showing two.

Wish I could like this twice, because those pictures are just stunning Your plants look like they are ready to go, when are you gonna plant them out?

A friend of mine grew a solo plant and it fruited just fine,that doesn't mean the pods have viable seeds for next season though. I will have to pick his brain. Most of the info that is on the web is from a few years back and only a few folks had grown a lot of this stuff. A lot of that info was assumed and there was some conflicting stuff. The flex that I am growing germinated in about 14 days I think,and the rates were really high. Those seeds could be from a good line,not sure.

Thanks Mike! I'm pretty new to photography but trying to gey better,the positive and negative feedback is always encouraged.

Man your photography is just beautiful. Thanks for the updates. Looking forward to seeing some shots of your wilds when they bloom.

I can't wait to see them bloom too,hopefully they will ripen also. Glad you enjoyed your visit.

I could have planted them a couple weeks ago and been fine,best weather I have ever seen here at this time of the year. The weather is goofy in PA so I try to stay patient. High 30s for lows this weekend so I will be bringing them back in until next week.

Plants all look wonderful! Like the Flexuosum and the Galapa, really cool plants.

Outdoor shots are great! Finding those ovens is way cool and the nest with chicks, that's a score!

 

[Nightshade]

Best of luck to you setting pods if they do maybe we can set up a trade

 

[romy6]

It is not a matter of if you (Johnny the master grower and photographer ) will get tons of pods but when

Just outstanding bro. That Bald Eagle pic is superbulous and the flexy is always sexy

 

[stc3248]

They're pulling at your heart and my eyeballs! Wow...and the nature/history shots are freaking National Geographic quality! Amazing shots and plants brother! When is dirt day again? Should be creeping up!

Oh...see the next week post above now. Can't wait for those pics!

 

[wayright]

No no no,,Nat Geo !!

Beautiful pics broham!! Gorgeous pics of the Eagles JB!

Are you freaking kidding me? I mean, first you've got the awesome pepper plant shots, then the very nice furnace shots capturing American History. But Bald Eagles? Don't they make their nests up high? Did you scale a mountain? Amazing.

 

[irishmaverick]

Incredible pictures. Congrats on getting the Galap to pop. It's going to be an exciting grow season for you!

 

[RedtailForester]

Geez PS, how the heck did I miss your log??? Absolutely awesome man!

 

[KiNGDeNNiZ]

Pretty wilds.

 

[Spicegeist]

Everything looks great.  Incredible eagles.
 
How are your frutescens doing?

 

[Pr0digal_son]

Thanks to everyone that has commented. I am still patiently waiting for the weather to cooperate,or the weathermen to be more accurate. Highs in low 90's,lows in the low 30's, thunderstorms that never come,frost,it has been a mixed bag to say the least the least. I will be forced to heed the old timers warnings and plant out during Memorial Day holiday.

Windy and dark out for some of these shots (nope,didn't rain again) so some leaves might be blurred up a bit. First shot is of a Purple Pequin

Chinense are in good shape and are waiting their opportunity.

An interesting chinense,Mata Frade.

Purple Pequin

Here is a bad one. Don't take your frustrations out on your chiles!!! Take a jog,read a book,anything. This guy was spiked like a football,roots ripped,broken in two,stomped a couple times for good measure. Potted it up and it's showing signs of life.

The shot of that Maui purple is f*cking beautiful man.

Glad you like it.
