POGreen's Grow Log 2014

A place where one could make another geurillagrow is Halmstad's old Fortification Wall from way back in time.
1734 , the King of Sweden came out with a decree that every big city in this country must grow tobacco , to make us independent I guess from importing it from abroad.
Perhaps the kingdom at that time could make some money out of it aswell in form of taxes.
Remember reading an old document saying that if you was a snususer and had it in during ceremony you had to pay a small sum of money as a form of punishment or tax.......

Well PO......I guess some things never change.

 

[POGreen]

Guess it comes down to that someone's got to pay to benefit somebody else.

Looks similar to an Arizona brown recluse.

 

[POGreen]

Yea , might be a small one perhaps......
Used Aussie/Kiwi slang for Female when writing Sheila though

 

[ArizonaDave]

Thanks Dave !

The major reason to why I chose this spot is that it is sand , second is not far away from where I live and maybe third is th pretty nice view as a bonus.
Downside is mostly mosquitoes and that I see myself forced to sneak like a snake behind the dunes......
We have somewhat of a '' tropical heatwave '' here as of now and hopefully it'll last , except for Saturday this weekend.
Degs. in their mid 80's or 30 C.

Even here in HOT Arizona, it was in the 80's, but getting ready to heat up this coming week. Why is it that the colder areas grow the biggest Mosquitoes? Here in USA, Michigan, Alaska I believe they call it their State Bird! LOL

 

[chillardbee]

I seen one of those spiders in my patch about 3 days ago. I thought she had an air soft BB stuck to her butt. Now I know.

HaHAHa , that is almost just friggin unbelievable.
Was down to my BeachPatch twice today but wasn't able to give'em any water.
Why ?
Reason 1 : Can't reveal my patch = people walk on da beach
- ** - 2 : Too many mosquitoes = No blood left in my veins = I die = no good for me
I'll use full accoutrement tomorrow morning and try not to give any blood away for free.Might have to arrange somethin for head +neck too.....

 

[deluxestogie]

Might have to arrange somethin...

Arrange some 30% DEET on your exposed skin.

[POGreen]

[h=1]The Insect Repellent DEET[/h]That sounds like a good choice in my ears Bob , as I look at it now it's going to be a raincoat on when entering the ''woods''.
Wish I had DEET for my face , 'cause I wanna make a short clip/video when I'm in there , + not wanting to get bitten.

Thanks

Update on my ''best'' Rustica

My neighbor's cat , some sort of Norwegian Forest Cat called Doris.

Doris went nuts the other day and killed this housesparrow

Today I buried the sparrow in my patch , R.I.P little birdie
Makes Doris a murderess...........

Grit + Gravel for Snailprotection

 

[Knucklehead]

Have you found any hornworms?

 

[POGreen]

No I haven't Knuck.
As of now , no snails neither.
Just 20 degs now but nice sunny days.
Think I'll give'em some real RocketFuel when I water them on Sunday , water +urea + grassclippings+clover and CalciumNitrate.
Hope they can take it , remember last year when doing about the same thing as I will do on Sunday I came back the next day and leaves was pointing right up in the sky.I like to see that again......
