Sorry Erin but made the mistake of trying Romy's powder first(HOT) so I could not give your beautifully ground powder a proper "WalkGood's powder review!"

It was time to bring out the whoopin stick! This flower and the one behind looks strong, they should pod up soon!

Hope the freaking mites stay gone Steve. FYI letting leaves touch the ground isn't a good thing. Makes it easier for pathogens and bugs to gain access to the plant.

Yeah, that's a death sentence for tomatoes around here. Bacterial wilt is in the soil and even splatter from rain will infect them. Keep 'em well mulched with straw and no problem.

Steve, every ting looks great, keep dem positive vibes going mon ♪ ♫ ♪ ♫ ♪
I missed the beach today, too much work but next I go I'm going to harvest enough seaweed to use on all my other potted plants for ground cover. I like how it keeps the weeds away and acts as a natural fertilizer. If you're up for it we can hook up down there next week ... I'm not sure if you need more yet?

 

[P. Dreadie]

Lookin' nice .....

 

[P. Dreadie]

Steve I tried your TFM powder yesterday , maybe not the proper way. Sprinkled some on a bowel of blacked eyed peas. Niced things up good. Thanks

Peace,
P.Dreadie

 

[Jamison]

Your in ground plants are massive with more growth on the way ! How many hours of direct sun are they receiving?
Liking them MoA's.
Has the flower opened yet...and if so how many petals and is the flower creme color?

Ver Impressive...

Glad you liked it. Goes good on shrimp scampi, mixed in flour for fried calamari, on chicken, ect...Your CCN powder has a better SB flavor IMHO and was pulverized to perfection!

Yea buddy!

Its startin' to come together!

Thank you Greg, that means alot to me coming from you sir!

those in-grounds only get about 2-3 hours of direct sunlight, don't know why but the seem to do well there. I am in the process of replacing them with MoA soon.

The MoA flower has 6 petals and is a white/cream color.

Looking great! Ok now I'm coming over to see dis mon!

Come on over bredren, quite overdue to fire up the grill!
