Tuesday is Sunny!

And windy!

I worked in the garden today up-potting the seedlings and watering the plants.

The Frank's Gift is getting very purple flowers:




North Garden:






MDL2 is very spaced out and has very little buddage:






MDL1 is tighter and has more flowers:




The tub and dirt are doing great:




Cheers,
Mo

Hey Mo. What do you think for keeping outdoor plants small. 10gl? 30gl? I'm gonna put up a 10* 10 hoop house and put individual plant screens on. I have the wife.on board.to help cover them for light deprivation if we need to. Gotta stay low key
10-15 gallon would be my choice. 30 gallons would allow a monster I think. I like John Berfelo's rule of thumb 1 gallon = 1 ft, 2 gallon = 2 ft, ......5 gallon = 5 ft, etc.

Depends on the strain and how you train them.

7 gallon smart pots are the perfect size and easy to move (if you have a good watering system). Otherwise they dry out too fast and are 100% roots by the time you finish.

I like the bigger pots because the plants don't need as much attention.



Mainlined to keep small:




20 gal in tubs:

Cheers,
Mo

They make plants designed for CA weather. I still put a bag of ice on mine a couple times in the winter to make her think she got snowed on.

I had three plants at one point and now I am back down to one barely hanging on.

The garden has taken a hit from neglect while I put the screen room together. I will get it all back to snuff when I can concentrate on the garden and not construction.
Do you need a couple different varieties for them to pollinate and do their thing? Or can you have just one plant and be ok?

You can grow just one plant. Ima pick up a few when my nursery gets them in stock. Then by early june and july I will have some seeds already stratified.

You have to freeze the blueberries or seeds for 90 days before planting them.
