Brown Thumbs 2014 Whatever

[POGreen]

POGreen. I had left over calcium nitrate so I just dissolved that into the water tank.
Thanks, Guys

Thats the same as I do , only difference is that my patch is not as big as yours and I don't have a drip line , just a wateringcan or whatever its called over there.....
Gave'em some yesterday and checked on'em today and some of the leaves was actually poiting right up in the sky.
Guess the other leaves will follow very soon.....

Them poles will do the trick. A tree nursery located on the ranch where I have been building has 6" x 8' posts cemeted 2' at an angle around the perimeter. With about 3/8' cables connecting. The 30 gallon pots each have a bamboo stake similar to yours with some type of rubber or elastic attaching the trunck to the cable. The bamboo is tied to the trunck with a plastic ribbon probably biodegradeable I am assummng. {if not Daryl hannah may have our ass]It is wind alley there believe me. I [almost]guarantee you won't go wrong with those poles if your the same. Were talking rows similar to yours in scope although much closer together. If my boss Lady and friend will allow I will take some pics and post..

Looks like I got me some frenching Baccy again. Just one plant so far.
What does it look like to you guys?
I pray that the Bamboo works BarG, Thanks.

At first blush, it does look like Frenching. Post pics at weekly intervals. Could be viral.

It looks like frenching to me too.

 

[Mad Oshea]

Ground dry around it, The leaf above it, nice, the grass to the side healthy- I would say -Viral. The leaf looks to grow at a strange form compared to th ones in Your pics. Is why I say that. But it could be a bug in the dirt.. Like You need more problems with Your gow? Is that the only one doing that??

 

[Brown Thumb]

The leaves are very thick and Hairy also.
I am doing a soil test right now. I had a cheapie kit laying around from last year.

 

[grgfinney]

Did it rain a lot before that occurred? Looks like my frenching last year stopped watering and recovered weeks later

 

[Brown Thumb]

Greg, This is that Funkey plant we were looking at a few weeks ago. It is just getting worse.
We had quite a bit of rains last month and I watered the patch and fertilized last weekend. I am watering them again today. Soil is pretty dry around the plants.
Damn things are suckering like crazy also.

Does Baccy plants reroot after being cutdown by a cutworm.
I saved this baby and put her in water a week ago thinking it would grow roots but none as of yet.
She looked used and abused but has come back strong and growing. Got to give her some fertilizer.

I think that as long as there is at least one node beneath the water, there is a chance it will root. (A solution made from crushed green willow leaves, strained afterwards, contains rooting compound, which may help.)

No nodes. I do not have a willow tree but my a hole neighbor across the street does. He dumps his garden and trimming chit on my property after I told him to stop at least 100 times.
I guess my kid is going to half to crash is R/C plane into the tree or land under it to get some leaf.
Thanks,

I rooted some suckers last year, just by poking them into a cup of saturated potting soil. Took about 10 days.

I will do that and add some willow tree juice as soon as I can find a tree, found one down at the dam but could not reach the branches. I had my kid on my shoulders trying to reach them. Not a good idea!
Thanks Guys,

Re invented float trays.
I had the last ones out hardening off to put in this weekend.
Damn it rained today. I hope they didn't drown. Looking a little yeller.

 

[leverhead]

Good try! I think you need to work on the "float" part a little more.

 

[Rickey60]

Yes, what Lever head said. Need more work on the float part.

But the Roots were Floating, That don't count?

 

[Chicken]

id say you got that '' floating thing down ''

 

[leverhead]

You could call them NZ float trays: ) Like with boats or cars, keel/wheel side down is preferred.
