Hey all! Been a while since my last update. We made it to harvest season! Not out of the woods yet but I can smell sweet success(puns intended) but this is no time to let our guard down!
View attachment 3795407Been busy as hell and I'm sure all the rest of you farmers have been too. I've been battling budworms and powdery mildew but I've been pretty proactive with Bt, Serenade, and handpicking worms so there has been very minimal damage but these have been the least of my worries. I originally intended to build small rain covers for my plants but I had someone convince me that they could put up a giant tarp over my crop...
View attachment 3795414 this was poorly planned and though in theory it could have worked, I scraped the project and had them take down the tarp because it was poorly rigged and scared the shit out of me.
View attachment 3795415 Next year a greenhouse is going up but it just wasn't feasible this season. Luckily my crop has been pretty far along and I've already started to harvest, weather is looking good for a while(although who knows right), and I have plastic to cover these bitches in an emergency. On a final note: I got the cops called on me because my grumpy neighbor didn't like the smell of my stinky girls. Good old prop 215 to the rescue. Cops were super polite, made sure I was in compliance, asked me how I got my plants so big, told me good job, and were on there way. Stay safe my friends
