Couple weeks later, healthy but no huge growth. Lighter green (N?). Some tip curl but seems to handle all the rain we’ve had.I
just potted this girl up to her armpits in .5 .5 .5 black cow composted manure, 20% perlite and 20% coco coir. We’ll see
LMAO!!Maybe that's why I feel like this guy.
Damn, I just realized I added about 2" of potting soil a few days ago to both 1 & 2. D'OH! So +2 on the first and even for the second two straight weeks. I'm okay with that and will celebrate now.-2" ? Lol
Growing very well. Yeah, that yellowing is a bit surprising. Maybe add a little blood meal? I haven't given mine anything but water but it's still very young. I'll be watching for it.Couple weeks later, healthy but no huge growth. Lighter green (N?). Some tip curl but seems to handle all the rain we’ve had.
I love blackberries and would love to have that problem. My soil and water are too alkaline for berries. While I can amend the soil I'm not buying water or an RO filter and I'm down to my last 8 gal of rain water.Yep chicken shit is incredibly hot stuff but the combo of it mixed with the used cedar shavings I used to use as bedding made for some of the best compost I’ve ever made. I was fighting off marauding blackberry shrubs to lay claim to my compost bin regularly lol

Bates Nut Farm, about 10 miles away sell them this size between $125-200 each. I get $50, easy. I'll be planting 2 dozen seeds and grow them in the front yard. Should be interesting. Wonder if we'll make the cover of Good Housekeeping?
These were grown in my hard clay soil with no protection. Gophers own the front yard so this is going to be a challenge. Maybe in a bale of straw with chicken wire underneath. Still thinking about it. Seeds should pop within a week so I gotta figure it out by the weekend so it's ready.Jeeez they look crazy
You got a green thumb man. I tried growing corn couldn’t even get them out the groundThese were grown in my hard clay soil with no protection.

I have to fight aphids on corn and didn't plant any this year. Folks had a garden and granny grew roses. I started by 10 at home and had a garden in 5th grade at school. Always came easy. Grew 25lb watermelons a few years ago. They take lots of water, pumpkins too. California charges us an arm and a leg for water these days so I have to space them out to every few years.You got a green thumb man. I tried growing corn couldn’t even get them out the ground
