It's that time of the month. Flowers are starting to form, the birds are singing and my garden is smelling great. I harvested some tomatoes for my bbq burgers yesterday that were delicious. I've been giving them micro doses of fish and kelp fertilizer with every watering. Just like a half a cap full to 5 gallons to get that little funk in there. Other than that it's just my homemade compost and the worms that live in the ground. They seem to love it. A gopher tunneled into my area again, I'll have to set the trap. Last year I had a beautiful pumpkin plant that was getting huge and the gopher killed it in one day. I came out and everything was laying flat. Hope he doesn't do that to my mj plants.

yo ever try using soluble aspirin on your tomato crops? just 1/2 tablet in a litre of water, foliar, I find the best time is as the green fruit forms but, you can apply it as you get bud set, the again at bud differentiation to get the same effect. This really helps to sweeten tomatoes imo, it is a mimic of Salicylic acid, this increases Jasmonic Acid Response and so EFN (extrafloral nectar)., SA stimulates transcription factors related to both calcium and sugar uptake pathways.
It is these pathways that are disrupted by common tomato pathogens like Fusarium. Ergo tomatoes from plants infected by even a symptomless endophytic fungi from say, badly prepared compost, are rubbish and not worth eating nutritionally :-).

im dealing with splitting,,lost another watermelon this morning,,so 6 watermelon and 2 canaloupe,lost to splitting,,here what i got this morning,,these canaloupe are adverging 10 lbs each,,now they supose to be trellis melons,,im drying seeds now love um,,

have you had a shit load of rain? we just had this issue where the fruit has become over pressurized by the deluge we just had. tomatoes etc are all splitting badly now. they still taste great but anyway.

clearly you get high heat splitting as do we on those really hot days. Straw mulch is about all you can do buddy, this and growing in fabric root pouches which will allow more of the excess heat to exit the root zone. All the plants in fabric are good to go, all the terrano/ ceramic/ plastic plants are busting out and its messy picking.

We have had real issues this year with the rainfall, near constant high humidity is adding the problems with slower evaporation and so hotter soil water temps and lower DO2. I will add air cages next year to the pouches and ceramics, we are losing the plastic. Not worth bothering in the circumstances over here.

Adding bio char will also help reduce cracking due to environmentals. Our new Bio Growth Promoting Liquid will help where we get drought then excess rainfall. My Char x BGPL plants are looking awesome, even the ones planted direct in the soil with no amendments are rocking out. BGPL is super pokey (1:4000 for MJ), 33cc per 100L. At Node 3 (25cc/100L), 7 days before bloom, 7 days after bloom, Mid bloom period (33cc/100L). can aslo be used as a seed soak and for nursery projects at 33cc and 20cc respectively.

10 lbs cantaloupe!! Nice! I'd love to be eating on that right now lol. I'll have to try some of those next year. This year I decided to go small on my garden because it was a little too much to keep up with last year. It got all overgrown and I couldn't hardly even get in there to harvest the fruit. Maybe next year I'll set up some raised beds like you so I can get all around them.

Small is still something so good on you buddy. IMO design and planning is the key to reduced labor overhead and to mitigate any physical limitations. OldSkool has this right. not doing too much, thinking about how he is going to get around before building, being willing to accept he fucked up on occasion and he knows he will do this tomorrow also, but not allowing this to discourage, rather seeing it and its solution :) just as well all will. Also planting what works as well as what you like. Many varieties of each crop and so there is usually one we can find that works.
Tweaking the system each year, know that as you change so will the garden, this will make it easier for you.
I urge everyone to translate the skills they have growing bud, to grow food at home. Why not add a few plants in the grow room. I found pea progress number 9 works wonderfully as undertsorey in my indoor set up. Plus it lowers N overhead without me having to cut down space for MJ :) Alpine strawberries are also excellent

best thing i ever did bro,,my back cant handle rows no more,,the box are so much easier to maintain and work with,,i make mine 3ft wide and can reach across them,,weeds hasnt been a problem either,,im organic so bugs are a issue,,them damn squash vine boer worms got my spring crop again,,so about half threw season i started them i solo cups and let them almost go root bound,,then transplanted into garden put foil around stems,and so far working great,,it is past there peek season,,so waiting a little longer to put in garden might be the key

vine beetles took out 3 of my MJ plants too this year mate. I am never getting caught again (yar right). I wasnt here to attack the larval stages so I didnt stand a chance. This coming year 2018 will be different. I found running small strips of foil up the stem on larger plants also works to confuse the shit out of bugs, but my main pest reduction treatment will be large volumes of nematodes and increased beauvaria in the soil

I hear ya. Earwigs ate all my jalepeno plants this year. I had a really bad infestation so I set some traps with bowls sunk into the ground filled with soapy water and rubbed some olive oil around the edges as bait. It worked great (also I noticed the crows started eating them like crazy). But too late for a lot of my tomatoes and all my jalepenos. One of the tomatoes that they ate all the way down ended up coming back. It hasn't produced any tomatoes yet, but it has some flowers and it's getting big enough so maybe I'll get something.

early/ late season pests are the issue. Only time I treat my plants is when the predators are not out to play, otherwise we might just wipe out all the beneficial if we simply target everything we see.
if you mulch early season, the damp humid environment this creates is often a nice spot for earwigs to live, try to remove mulch or just mulch later in the season. Alternatives might be adding neem meal to you mulch practice.
Or plant chrysanthemums
:-)

you ever go to a chinese supermarket? you can buy shrimp meal and crab meal etc cheap as shit. All sorts in Asian supermarkets, stuff like natto and lots of biotics and seaweeds usually. Amazing what you can find to help you if you look about and are prepared to do the research and mixing.

may be its time you looked at an anaerobic digester? this way you can make nutes, gas, heat all on site.

thats just it,,we hadnt had any rain since end of april,,just got about 3in in a hour other day,,rain ran right off,came down so quick,,but they were splitting before that,i figured it was just the heat

i like the strawberry idea

are you kidding me ,that got the herb,,shit i thought it was just squash and a few other veggies ,,damn,,i found you got to be careful with the foil to,,i put it on my squash,and as it grew i didnt put anymore instead used the alfalfa to build up around stalk works great till you water the straw,,the plant stem will rot,from the wet straw,,so anthor game plan has to come to mind
