Thanks! We're seeing a constant flow of rewards...finally. Shitloads of onions...chopped/frozen. First wave of green beans gave us 22 pints of canned Dilly Beans. The second wave...front and center...is starting to drop. It may eclipse the first. We will see. Plants are larger. Also growing Bleuhilde/purple pole beans...just coming on hard. 35 pepper plants...all hanging with fruit. Beets are about ready. Second flush of strawberries is in bloom. Amish paste tomatoes rockin' hard. Some slicers in there as well.What strain ya got going thats showing the early purple? Garden looks fabulous btw!
Welcome back! Glad you're feeling better.good afternoon, friends! i'm back from the dead. i had a bout of (what i'm convinced was) salmonella from dealing with a broody hen. i brought her inside (long story) to break her broodiness in a dog crate, in my basement. i handled her quite a bit over those three days, and cleaned up a ton of chicken poop. i think i ended up overexposing myself, ended up with a fever (3 days) and the worst guts for about another 10 days. finally back to normal, took the opportunity to clean up my diet anyway. i've been eating way too much sugar and chips etc as a comfort over the past six months. i'm back to lots of meat, veggies, fruit, and water. and back toregularly too. so everything is going good, haha!
garden wednesday contribution - the sisters are looking good. they're both about 7ft tall, fully flowering. i removed branches at the bottom, and broke off a couple others on accident. i've been removing yellow or spotted leaves, but other than that i'm not defoliating or training. i'm feeding bone meal, an all purpose, and muck from the compost pile...maybe every couple of weeks? i can't believe these are plants that were started in early april. me thinks these will be going well into october...

Hmmm. I wouldn't expect that "back there" with humidity/etc. in the pic. Seems like they'd stay semi-wet at least. Whadda I know though.Aww shucks, thanks. All y'all are in another league, I'm just playing pick up.
Gonna try and 'dunk' the pots this week. Watering from the top (where my cavemen at?) is resulting in the gap of death along the sides. Also a little hydrophobic on recent waterings, so time for a pivot. I have a large Rubbermaid, so going to fill it (might add some silicate for shits) and dunk the fabric pots in there to let 'em soak, bottom up for a little. Hoping this might restore a little more even moisture in the medium.
What flavor, looking goodCoffee to all may you have a great day and a better night View attachment 5418919View attachment 5418920

You might try taking a stake and poking a bunch of holes in your root balls. It won't hurt the roots but it will give the water a path into the center of the root ball rather than down the sides.Aww shucks, thanks. All y'all are in another league, I'm just playing pick up.

That’s how a SIP works. I only top water my plants once a week when I add dry amendments. Right now they drink 2 gallons a day, all bottom watered, so yes it will work.that's how @shnkrmn waters his young plants. Seems effective.
I'd skip the silica. You're past your stretch phase and cellular growth is complete.
They look fantastic. What strain?That’s how a SIP works. I only top water my plants once a week when I add dry amendments. Right now they drink 2 gallons a day, all bottom watered, so yes it will work.

This is from last weekend, they’ve shot up another 8” at least. This weekend is thinning out and trellising, at least if time allows and some other crap doesn’t come up.
