The only thing my plants get are love. Absolutely no pesticides allowed!! Next year I tackle that family of veggies and dominate.

Our Wedding flower. Bought her 10 years ago the summer we got married. I am very proud of the blooms I get from her each summer.

Side note about gardening in general. I planted broccoli for the first time this year. New leaves would pop out, 2 days later, eaten to shreds. Just figured broccoli didn't work here, so I dismissed it. But I started to notice a shitload of white moths hanging out in my garden. Thought nothing...

I am seeing tons more yellowjackets the last 2-3 days too. Those nasty shits always pop out the same time ladybugs do.

I need to see this in my garden! Good thing is, whatever is happening to you now up there will soon be happening to me down here!! Seems like my season is about a week behind your season. You started flowering, a week later I did. So I am looking forward to seeing some ladybug action in my...

If I wake up at 6am to an inch of water in my garden, it is normally gone by 3pm that day. I would be more concerned if it was standing water for 3 days or more. That is not the case here. I have had standing water 4 times this summer. It never lasted more than a day. I am more upset about not...

My plants are thriving after the latest round of saturation. I'm leaning towards just riding it out again, and using the wetvac if necessary. Standing water for a day is not hurting anything really, it is just keeping me from feeding them. They look so beautiful this morning, I'm gonna let...

I have a patch of broccoli that never made it (cabbage worms) next to the girls. I can dig them out and I will have a huge drainage area to route standing water to.

I might ride it out, just so stressful! I might dig some deep drainage areas this morning to move the water away from them. I really dont want to move 8-10 sanbags from my garage to the plants. Just brainstorming.... Could dig some deep collection holes and use the wetvac to drain those...

Wisconsin has been in the crosshairs for heavy rains now for close to two weeks. Complete ground saturation. Another 2.5 inches of rain forecast for the next 36. Pretty much guarantees standing water in my garden again. I cannot stand another day + of seeing my girls in an inch of standing...

Hey! Don't clown bag seed, dude. I'm growing some right now and my two girls are not only funky and frosty, but they are going to provide some serious yield as well. A seed is a seed. Environment and care are much bigger factors. Genetics don't mean a thing if the environment is shit, or if the...

It will be 55° when I wake up in the morning down here. Then sun, all day again, finally. I won't have to water until Sunday, at the earliest, after all the rain we got. My girls are going to be very happy and motivated the next few days!

Yeah, that rain was a total letdown. The whole state was ravished by it. I assume last night was wild for you with the cold front coming through?

I hope I learn this in my first grow. I am so new at this that I have no clue. However, I reviewed my grow pics, and it has been 10 days since I first saw pistils start to cluster to the growth I have today. That is extremely quick, so if I am at 3-4 weeks of flowering, as I believe I am (7/27)...

My birthday is November 30 and I have golfed multiple times that late in SE Wisconsin. There are ways to protect plants from the elements if needed. Of course, bitter Canadian air hitting the 20s would force my hand, but that would be extreme here, with the impact the warmer water of Lake...

Frosty Frosty starting to set in!!

While I do agree with you, I have ladybugs multiplying daily with fall coming up. I prefer them keeping me pest free over a spider making a web by one of my budlets. My fear of spiders is real from being bitten by one as a kid!

You will love having her outdoors where a beautiful girl like that belongs!

I used stretch as the start of flowering for my outdoor grow. It was during stretch that buds sites started to develop and pistils began to appear at those sites. I did not count from first pistils at the nodes. So based on my grow notes, my flowering stage began on 7/27, when stretch was...

Another thought. I am anticipating to harvest in November, regardless of frost/snow. I will use my tomatoes to judge how frost/snow will impact the girls. I will protect as warranted to make sure I give nature the most time possible. But I am targeting first week of November to chop, unless the...
