tsurrie's 2019 glog

So I started again. A little later than usual (used to do it around january 25th) but still early enough I think.

Glad I am not the only one who uses the yogurt containers /high five
 
And aye those maters will certainly need some room before its all said and done but I also do it kinda similar, think I transplant the maters 3-4 times before they get to the outside.
 
Really diggin those trays though man, not sure if its me or not but they look deeper then a regular 10x20 tray?
 
Edit - Accidental PT but they all count
 
Double edit - I had ment to add like 2 weeks ago that the shot of the hills and mountains is absolutely breath taking. I would kill to live in an area like that.

Thanks for visiting Paul and yes, hoping for some nice pods later on :)

Oooooh yeah, yogurt pots, high five!
Why not use them if we already got them. And they are just the right size.
 
The trays are 4x6 pots, approx. 4x5 cm and 5cm deep. Smaller than yogurt pots but will do for some time.
 
Congrats on a PT Matty :)
 
You don't have to kill to live in this area, you just have to move.
I know, it's much more complicated when you start to think about that stuff. And pretty far away too.
 
I can take you with us for a hike if you come by some day. There are a few better views just a few hours away, if you're lucky with the weather.

Hmmm... someones being a PT hog..yeah you Matty...LOL
 
Uros, great grow going on! And thanks for the beautiful pics!

Thanks Scott.
 
Will post more pics of the area when I take some.
This is from last week, the same hill behind on the right just like on a previous picture. Taken from another, a few hundred meters higher 'ridge'.
Sorry about the colors, my phone is messing with the photos a bit.

Well, chilis at my place are growing just as much as I'm posting the progress around here. Almost every pot I prepared has a disastrous plant in it :rolleyes:
 
All yellowish with almost no pods - it seems I fuc@d up something with the soil, even though I spent a lot of money on the soil, so I was pissed off of course. But now when I calmed a bit down, I'll post some pics of the plants I prepared for my father in law. At least those are thriving... and of course I have a few little plants on the garden that are growing a few chilis on them, so I'll have some to eat so no worries :dance:
Also tomatoes are ripening up and there seems to be a lot of them.
 
Those three plants from my father in law....
Tepin x Lemon Drop, Chupetinho and Aji Umba

Aji Umbas are just beautiful

had one of Tepin x Lemon drop pods with my dinner

It's tasty, quite juicy and not so hot

Now I really have to check what all of you folks are doing, I really feel bad I neglected this site so much. I guess that happens to a lot of us from time to time. Take care!
 
Hi Uros,
 
Sometimes shit happens :shh:  I know this all too well with our climate here; close to 6 weeks of 100° or more here.
 
Congrats on the produce you are getting, maybe that's why we plant extra ;)
 
tsurrie said:
You're right Scott. Shit you have constant heat over there.
Thanks. A few extra plants are not a bad idea at all :)

Usually, this time of the year, plus 2-3 weeks and we start to get a break. I still have a few plants going, maybe 10? hoping for the 75-90 of good weather we normally get at that point. Fall garden starts in the next 3 weeks, lettuce, radishes, carrots, onions, garlic, spinach, potatoes, and whatever else likes our cooler fall climate ;)
 
 
Hey Uros! Seems like a less than ideal grow season
just about everywhere this year! Glad to see you are
still active in the garden.

Good luck getting in a decent harvest. Any mountaineering lately?

Thank you Paul. The temperatures were ideal but something else went awry. The garden is full of pumpkins and tomatoes, so nothing to complain about that. The pepper section is just not what I was expecting in the year's start.
Not much mountaineering, more mountain biking, but nothing to brag about. Just to keep the system in shape. :)
 
Been picking a few batches like these over the last three weeks, so tomatoes are growing well. Soon there will be enough sauce for the whole winter and more. And a lot for a few more tomato salads we like so much.

Some of them are around 1 kilo or more...

A few chilis for pickling,... that's As chili and Jalapenos

Wow! I want to see the burger that tomato gets put on (it has to be as large)
Click to expand...
 
:)
actually, you got me thinking... there are some "buns" a local bakery is offering, that could be sort of a match. And the butcher from a store near by also offers large patties. This could actually be done :)
 
PaulG said:
Hey, Uros, did you ever make that gigaburger?
Click to expand...
 
actually, I was sooo full after eating that, I could't post for some time :)
:rofl:
 
no sorry, it was not done... but I'm sure gonna plant these tomatoes in the future too. And that burger will be done and get eaten sooner or later.
 
I'm actually planning a small chili grow these days, for the next season.
I just wish I could find more time to get into it as much as I did in the last few years. Not like this season :neutral: I hate myself for not being into the grow so much, but then again... I think my family needs me more with school and all of the stuff that comes with. I think I'll start growing more later when the kids got their own hobbies and when the puberty hit's in... that will buy me some extra time :lol: and extra worries for sure
 
Both of the boys are attending climbing classes... I never actually climbed before, but with the kids involved, I had to participate in a lesson yesterday and just ordered my first climbing shoes today. So I guess I'll get to climbing now to. Pretty much different than some hobby running, hiking and mountain biking that I was doing until now. But I think it will suit me, have to clear the head from all the computer / printer related stuff from the job.
 
Sounds like you are keeping busy, Uros!
Life just kind of takes over, sometimes  :rolleyes:
 
I hope you can get a little grow going in
between mountain climbs and tech related
headaches!
 
Good luck and regards, my friend!

Mountains will have to wait. We started in a gym and even that is thrilling for me :) :rofl:
Thanks for stopping by Paul, and good luck to you too my friend.
 
Hey Uros,
 
Been in the IT business, just left it. The time away from the screen, living, is a bonus. Enjoy that time buddy! Before you know it your Grand Daughter "drives" her car to come and see you. Now I'm old...
