2011 Veggies

i will be just as happy if it is a girl. my family has some pretty male dom genes though.

what machine are you waiting for? a tiller?
what coast you from east or west. im a west coaster and love it, it sprinkled last night and is suppose to be partly cloudy for the next week with temps of average 60 day and 40 at night and then it is supposed to get better.
what do you have PM on indoors. pot or veggie starts.

i have found neem works pretty good for PM

I have PM on a lot of my plants, only at the bass of the stalks and I don't really do anything about it. Should I be concerned or just let it be?

I have a three year old daughter and can tell you that having a girl is an absolutely wonderful thing.

i would defiantly try to take care of the pm. i had it last year at the end of the season so i just left be. it did not seem to effect fruit bad but it did start to make the leafs die off

I have also heard of using a mixture of 1 part H2O2 to 2 parts water and spray it on. Have you ever used a peroxide solution before?

i've always wanted one of each, so i'm hoping next time.....

we're on the WET coast of bc. it has been raining so much even the trees and shrubs have that "uuuuh, gahd, i drank too much last night, so hungover" look about them.
my man's been going apeshit hacking the blackberry brambles back (and you should SEE the gorgeous black soil under where they used to be) so i have waaaaay more gardenable area than i'd been expecting. he keeps telling me not to bother with the handtiller yet until buddy with the machine (<-hard 'ch', idk exactly what it is) comes through.

i help out at 4 rooms other than ours, and *everybody* has the pm, BAD.
as to whether you should do something about it, it depends. obviously, if you're only growing personal and you don't mind, leave it be (keeping in mind that even if it stays at a level that doesn't affect your flowers, it'll probably still affect your yield). but, depending on the Why of your medicinal use, (if you or your patient have respiratory or autoimmune issues, for instance) you probably want to do something about it, it IS a mold. if you're distributing to a dispensary, for instance, any buyer worth their paycheque is going to spot it in 2.2 seconds.

the best pm remedy i've ever encountered is the skim milk cure. (10:1 water:skim milk as foliar spray, let sit, then rinse) i know i know, at first i thought buddy's brain melted out his ear too, but it works.

I have only seen the PM on the stems. SHould i just treat the infected area or give the whole plants a spray down?

if it's just a bit you could just wipe the affected area with the milk solution, it should just make it fall right off. (my understanding of how it works is it changes the surface-ph and the pm doesn't like it)

never heard of that but what mellok mentioned i have heard of and have only heard good of it.

i just use neem for every thing now cuz it seems to work for me and i already have it. i can even deter ants with it.


and mellok, that is awesome your gonna have more gardening area to play with, glad the soil looks good to.
and ahhh i ate black berry bushes, love the berries but not the bush, i was thinking i would maybe grow a small BB start in a small pot and try to produce better then wild ones

i did some more planting today, i planted 2 hills, on hill has 2 lemon cucumbers 1 straight 8 cucumber and 1 poisnet cucumber.
in hill 2 i have 3 cantaloupe and 2 water melon.

also today i traded 8 plants for 2 sacks full of horse poo about 250 pounds worth.
now on the phone she said it was just aged poo, so i was expecting some dried up horse turd. but instead i look in and was amazed, it was completely composted with other stuff, the stuff is so fluffy and rich and i am really happy about it. i have a lot of poo on my hands now or i should say compost. it kinda reminds me of the texture and light weight of coco. i also planted some carrot seed under my toms, and planted radishes through out the tom and pepper bed as well, the guide i use said this is a good idea so im testing it. i put radish seeds in every corner of my beds. and in between the rows of melons and cucs i planted some lettuce seed, carrot seed and some more radish.
pic 3 is one of my sunflowers, i took the pic cuz it appears it is a trifoliate or how ever its spelled, ive only seen MJ do this so i thought it was cool.
almost every thing is planted now except the sunflowers, and some plants im gonna put in pots and my potatoes. the pick of the trays is just showing how much veggies i still need to get rid of.

Score on the horse manure/compost and the garden's looking beautiful!

Damn that looks good. I wish I could get some lettuce started!

i just toss the seed under a thin layer of soil and water lightly and they come up in a few days.

GIANT radish!

holey shit man! either that radish is huge or you just have really small hands. J/K
what type of radish?

forgot to ask how the other veggies are doing.
they doing as good as the radishes?

haha not sure the radish type still got the pack of seeds laying around somewhere that ill find out. everything else is doing good but theyre all things that grow longer than radishes so still sometime to see how they each turn out. plenty of tomatoes forming which is good and some strawberries ripening here and there. the corn is really enjoying itself with the recent weather and may be a good 5 to 6 ft by the time it produces. cant wait to see some watermelon and cantaloupe forming! remember from awhile ago gypsy bush growing some cantaloupe and ive always wanted to.

home grown cantoulope is so dam good, i only got 2 last year, im hoping for much more this year

yeah i have no idea how many a plant will produce but i have a nice amount of area for it to grow so hopefully ill get a few. same with the watermelon.

well i was in the garden last night and noticed my toms doing something that ive only seen weed do but when lights are on. all my toms outside in the ground had al theri leafs and branches reaching for the sky they were almost like folding upward and clapping theri leafs.
any way i tghought it was cool and odd so i tried to take a pic with my phone and my tiny led flash light. not great pics but it kinda shows what i mean.

any one know the cause of this? with weed i know its a good thing and means they are loving life so i only assume its the same with toms.

i would ASSUME that it is them trying to conserve heat by making there leafs compact more. you did say it was dropping to the 40s at night so that may just be a reaction they do when it gets cold. pretty neat for sure.
