Gonna move out to the country, eat a lot of peaches. . .

Explains the title.

I haven't started my good seeds yet. This thread is just for a few Bag Seed Tester crosses I made last year. I call one of the strains Peach.

Got to have a discussion with myself on workplace safety. Be back in a few.

Safety meetings. So crucial.

Safety meetings. So crucial.

I work by myself, so it is rare when I have more than one at my meetings. As it turned out, my buddy stopped by, so there were two at today's meeting.

I used water from my new rain catcher when I transplanted this morning. This is what 3/4 inch looks like. We got about a 1/4 more this afternoon, so it should be good for a week or so at least.

Here is one of those other peaches. I cleaned out a freezer over the winter and had a couple gallons of whole fish. Dug deep and buried them, planting this tree on top. It's much bigger and greener than the ones planted last summer.

She's a peach. Have you tried fruit from this same variety before?

Yes, it's the old stock peaches that are everywhere in this area. We ate some of the peaches the pits came from, but these were only sprouted last summer. They are smaller than you see in the grocery stores, but they are more bug and disease resistant. Real good flavor.

I've heard about putting fish in the bottom of a hole as a slow release type fertilizer. I'm just scared my dogs will try to dig it out

Deep is the secret. Also wait a week or so before putting in your plant, just in case it does get dug up. I killed a cat food eating possum this week. Put him in a deep hole near where the Deer Ate CP1 was last year.

I'm down to 2 Gorille de Raisin.



And something topped my Hurricane Head for me.

Have not had a chance to check on the 3 Peach in the JP patch. Did take food and water to nearby Peach. It was right at dark, so I didn't take any pictures.

I mixed up 45 gallons of soil yesterday morning. Got out and dug 6 holes in last year's FP patch in the afternoon. I'm going to try growing in pots for the first time. I put out all the soil in pots from 4 to 15 gallons. I dug the holes big enough {for the smaller pots} to transplant later if I decide to. I put a small pot in each pot, so transplanting will be easier.

Looking good Larry. Guerrilla growing looks difficult

I'm lucky to grow in my backyard

It's not easy. Almost half a day to mix soil and dig 6 holes. Since my wife retired, my free time has been cut to the bone. It will be tough trying to find time this season. All I know to do is grow fewer plants. And I don't like doing that.

Is that a fucking pollen sack coming out the top of my plant??? It's northern lights auto fem

I can't tell for sure. If so, make some auto seeds. Just make sure it is well away from everything else.

The seeds would be nice but i don't know where I could put so it wouldn't hurt my light dep or full season girls. Doesn't pollen travel miles?

Not sure about miles. But it will blow in the wind. I had an extra Powernap X Sinmint Cookies male in my Spring crop. I cut the shoots off it twice, the second time just above the ground. In my mind I had killed him. I used the pollen on a Big & Stinky X CP1. But when I chopped my Ass Cheese, there were seeds where there shouldn't have been. After some investigation, I found the male had grown new shoots before dying. The Ass Cheese was just 10-15 yards away, so I have an unplanned cross.

You can always just pinch off the male flower and keep a very close eye on things.

The Hurricane Head is responding nicely to being bug topped.



This is the only GdR that's worth showing. I'm using Neem every couple three days, but the grasshoppers are still doing damage.

The Peach in the STL. This one needs to stay small, so it will get LOB'ed each time it grows a little.
