The Knucklehead way to Grow a Blog

In hindsight freezer is too confined. Scratch build is not much more work than modifying a freezer and you can Taylor it to whatever rack system you want to use.

I'm beginning to see that, and if you build the six walls as separate but complete panels, it could be collapsed for storage. All kinds of versatility. And you could sell them in kit form. Everything but the crock pot.

Would hate to pay the shipping.

Off to the shop to check on kiln. Done with the first installment of "kiln rookie 101" and time for a smoke (I don't smoke indoors).

After reading your grow blog I feel better about my crop next year. I think you had a little of everything one could expect to go wrong with growing, and you never gave up but found a way to overcome it. One thing I know from years in the garden is mother nature will through you something different every year. You just have to adapt to the changes and move on. Most of the time by the end of the season you come out good.

I should have said I topped the VA in the first patch. (planted the stuff in April, it's about time.) The grow out patch is humming right along. The wrapper patch not so much. Soil too compacted and too much shade.

I'll snap some pictures tomorrow.

Todays Matinee. My TN90 in front. Only two have budded so far. I may pull a couple bottom leaves off each one this evening. I sprayed the aphids on everything except the TN90, it got too hot. I'll get them in the morning.



VA K326. They were all topped day before yesterday.



The twelve YTB. They've been topped and are ready for another priming.



Both ends of the grow out patch.



Nice looking flue cure varieties. Dixie Bright and Reams 158. The big leaf is on the Reams 158.
