RocketMan's 2013 Glog; In The House!!

There are no gardening mistakes,only experiments." -- Janet Kilburn Phillips

I love that quote and it will try my best to remember it through this new grow. So, I'm going with only 18 varities this year as we're looking at moving to a larger house if not buying this summer and I really don't want to have to try and haul a ton of plants when we do. the ones I've selected are:

1. 7 Pot Jonah---------------------------- Pic 1
2. Aji Lemon------------------------------- romy6
3. Chili De Arbol Negro------------------ smokemaster via SocalChilihead
4. Datil-------------------------------------- Pic 1
5. Fatalii------------------------------------ Pic 1
6. Gochu----------------------------------- Stickman
7. Red Savania--------------------------- Pic 1
8. Chocolate Habanero----------------- Pic 1
9. West Indian Yellow Habanero------ Pic 1
10. Jalabanero---------------------------- SocalChilihead

Alot of them are ones i started last year that never grew beyond a certain point and I'm pretty sure that a lot of it was my new grower mistakes. Since I really want to try them I'm giving them a grow again. Once again, thanks to everyone that helped me getting started with gifts of seeds and to all on here thanks for leaving your incredable words of wisdom that we can all learn from.

Cheers to a bountiful grow this year.

With Shane on the "um pool room" greenhouse! Nice space and congratulations, Bill!!
 
Yeah, the low-flying water fountain . . . if it don't forgive 2nd burn we used to use one for cooling extra beers in Austin. (Had to lock that bathroom: inebriated folks who just couldn't resist "games" but . . . they're nice, really!) Calibrated water pressure?
 
Confusticated y'all, is this the pool room you mean Shane,

Well I got a good start on clearing the garden today. This was taken about 15 minutes after I started when the wife came out and said, "didn't you want to take pictures of your progress?"

Didn't get an ending shot as I was abruptly halted by a total gully washer of a downpour. I'll see if I can get one when I get home tonight or else in the morning but I got it about half way deconstructed.

Holy cow... look at all that glass... Score!
Think your wife  will object to overwintering potted plants there during the winter? Maybe not all of them, but  a select half-dozen?

Rick, we overwinter our plants outside down here, that's ok, Jamie and I understand where your coming from ;)

Ok, day 2 done and if you look above at what it looked like when finished and comparing to this

Good progress was made today. Especially when you consider that it's been all by hand, no power tools.

Here's a nice problem I wish I didn't have to deal with though

This used to be an Avacodo tree. Now I have to try and figure out what the best way to make it go bye bye is. That also means cheapest. Any thoughts anyone? I seem to remember there being a powder or something that you drill holes into the stump and pour the powder in and it speeds up the breakdown process. Going to have to do a little research on this.

Lastly a little picture looking down Pepper Row.

You can see really good on this one. Coming out 2 ft from the edge where it is now and that's where the pepper plants will go leaving the ugly fence hidden for the wife. Plant haven't made it over here yet, gotta wait till I get the fort out of there.

Well it's Beer 30 here now so, have a great week and thanks for stopping by.
 
Looking great Bill! Those shots of the new place are awesome! Gotta love the clean, prep and plant phase! Then you can just not do that again....forever. Cuz your in Florida and you can start seeds outside in December.
 
Think you can pour Lime directly on it and keep it covered and it will be eat it up within a 6 months or so, from what I've read.

This is a different powder then you were talking about, but this is much much faster.

Even if you use a chemical, the roots have to be dealt with. I guess the question is how fast and how bad do you want it to go away?..If you use a machine, like a backhoe, it will tear the lawn up. So the stump grinder is the way to go.
 
Although the method above is cool too ;)
 
I have a handful of stumps left that I am dealing with as well(also new home purchase last year that was very poorly maintained landscape wise). I drilled holes in mine and poured sugar in it, not a fast method, but after a few months, some of the stumps look like they are slowly rotting- will remove them around October. Heard some of those powders seep into soil and if your being organic with your grow, it will remain if you plant there for a few seasons.

Good luck!
 
Read one today that said to use a high Nitrogen fertilizer, drench with water and cover with plastic. Repeat process every week a s stump will be sponge like in about 2 months.

I think the stump grinder would be the best, fastest way to go but also the most costly. So, still researching for now.
