POGreen's Grow Log 2014

[Mad Oshea]

Boy, I would love to have that dirt! Very nice PO! Mine is tan with 80% sand. Lots to do to Mine. The baccy loves it as well.

 

[SmokesAhoy]

I'll be growing that gc1 (tr55) rustica again this year, I look forward to comparing notes on it with you. I did not get those cabbage leafs from the grin pictures last year, but will try again.

 

[POGreen]

Absolutely Smokes , I aiming for those cabbage leafs or more.
Like Bob says , all Rusticas flower + sucker like crazy , but I will try to do everything in my power to stop that.
Will you use any fertilizer in your patch ?
The GC 1 does not seem to be so very high in length but I was impressed by the leafsize.

 

[POGreen]

When I thin and replant my plants I use a pair of tweezers to take away the excess seedlings , a nailfile to take up the only left seedling and the shank of a teaspoon to drill a deeper hole for it to stand in.
Seems to work out pretty good , but ofcourse u never know......
Have made 6 outof 16 varieties so far , and I think is was quite fun.

Sorry for da bad taken picture , but it is anyway this years first snail I found on my lot today.
Took 2 pics of him , then I squeezed him to almost nothing....

 

[chillardbee]

I have a couple of dedicated shishkabob skewers for that purpose. I skewer them and then let them bake in the sun. Thats not mean, is it?

 

[POGreen]

The best plant I have right now , its the GC 1 Rustica from India , it's been in the tray for 3 weeks today.
Think the leaves look very good.

 

[POGreen]

No way chillard , I'm gonna have a small bucket wit lid later on and have salt in it , is that mean ?
Suppose no one's gonna eat'em , just let em bake them in the sun....

 

[BarG]

What would you consider mean chillard? That could be constued to torture. Same with salt and poison.

Do what you must and have a good season as a result!

 

[POGreen]

Found another one today of an other type and I spared it , some sort of shellsnail and tossed him/her over to my neighbors lot......
It had found a place on the only wheelbarrel we have at this very moment.

 

[grgfinney]

The snails like beer half a can they will all climb in and cant get out

 

[POGreen]

They get completely wasted after their first beer.....

 

[Hasse SWE]

Bad boy, bad boy, what do you do when the P-O coming for you...
