Peppermanbaha's Back in Bussiness Winter gro Log

Hey yall. i'm back . Did you miss me? i havent been on the forums since july . Feels like forever !!! and I decided to start it up again. I'm bac at growing though i'm starting over from scratch. i just set some orange hab seeds and last year i though i would never grow another one of them again cuz i had so much.Now i'm groeing them again. I had an old aquarium and i set up a germinator. Temps dont drop very low so growing chillis in winter here is more than acceptable. Pics of my rig.

Pics tommorow
 
You can't see your breath at 65F. At that temp I would be outside wearing shorts and no shirt catching some rays. But I understand being acclimatized to your local weather. Went from Iowa to Las Vegas many moons ago and laughed at the folks wearing parkas in the winter when the temps hit 55. Next winter I was one of those parka wearing sissies.

Those cold spells don't last very long do they PMbaha? I'm starting to get jealous of you guys so it must be getting close to starting seeds. Man I miss being here everyday and seeing everyone's new growth.

Thanks for sharing with us.

Oh that is terrible you are so cold. Come on up here today our high temp for today was 24 F. and it is only early Dec. It does not get cold here until Jan Feb when the 2 foot snows hit one after the other.

I was outside today working in the garden. It was nice out. I did not even put on a coat. I worked up a sweat in the 20 F weather. I am waiting for it to cool down so I dont sweat so hard working outdoors.

I remember working a long saturday outdoors from 9 am to 9 pm and the high of the day was negative 11 F outdoors. I was working so hard I did not realize it was cold. But I earned $35 dollars that day and it was well worth it. That was almost $3 an hour. It was my best day working up to that point.

I once went out in neg 35 F weather and almost froze to death because I ran off the dirt road in huge snow drifts. But lucky I got pulled out by two tractors at the same time to get me out of the ditch. I went home and decided it was too cold that day. The wind was really blowing and it was cold and I did not have proper clothing to keep me warm. And the snow was really deep. It was bad.

So I worry about you getting cold down there in the Bahamas. You can come up here to Northern New England and enjoy some real weather this winter. We can get the snowblower to clear an area for your tent and you can have a great nights sleep out in the clear clean frozen tundra.
 
Shopping list for tuesday 1 bag mushroom compost 1 bag of peat moss 1 bag jolly gardener potting mix. So i can make some potting soil for the plants. I m also getting a few buckets full of rotted chicken manure from a friend. and some plant pots. Currently I'm using newspaper pots .
