I'm real geeked to grow out that Franks Gift...honestly I want to put them all in dirt now! But patience. I'm thinking I may do a guerrilla style grow out on the edge of the property with the Maki and one of the BD crosses.
 
Hey Jay, when did you harden off/transplant to the great outdoors when you lived in OH? I'm just not wanting my plants to start flowering from transplanting too soon. Thx brotha!! I took these out June 1st last year and they got fairly big!!

Thats a pretty nice harvest bro! Take any advice as friendly tinkering cuz you're doing pretty well, plus I was all indoor in Ohio man....but right now I'm slowly dialing back my indoor light to match the amount of daylight sun for mid may here (my planned transplant date)... If you start doing the same and time it up right for your area, you should be golden.

They wont flip if you make it a nice gradual transition and you're getting at least 13 1/2 hrs of light outside. But if you're not hardening them now, Id start if you're hoping to get em out sooner than June.

If it were me....unless you got some type of hoophouse or something to cover them, Id wait....May weather is so unpredictable in Ohio. Wouldnt be crazy to see a frost in May

Thank you so much!!! I love learning new things! :clap:


Honestly, I thought they were the same thing :oops:
I know this is an excuse, but I'm new to the country :)
Born & raised in the 15th largest city in the US.
Buuuuuut... I think I'm going to skip captioning my photos until I know what I'm talking about. :dunce:

:leaf: :leaf: :leaf: :leaf: :leaf:

You get honey from the hives?! Did you make the hives? I would love to know more!

I don't actually like eating honey, so I only took an interest in bees about two weeks ago; the bees absolutely love our flowers.
I haven't researched it yet, but I'm toying with the idea of creating a box for the honey bees.

If you guys are going to grow veggies, a small hive of bees would be a great addition. My BIL keeps a few hives, so my garden gets pollinated well. But he has had a couple of hives fail and all the bees die. I also see really small bees, about the size of a house fly in the garden. And of course, lots and lots of butterflies.

Bumble bees are the ones that eat your wood. {actually they just burrow up in it to live, but they are a PITA down here}
 
Having natural bees and insects is a good thing: it means the people before you were not insect-a-phobes who sprayed the life out of everything. Learning to live with Nature will be a lot easier than trying to fight it your whole life. You have a sweet spot there - you're lucky! Tend it and it will reward you ten-fold. Try and master it and you're in for a life of drudgery.

Your honey bee is on a Romenya coulteri - Matilija Poppy. A much coveted plant, esp. by those not living in Cali: it's hard to propagate.
