Mikedin’s garden center, Let’s grow!

[Mikedin]

Cool. Only just setup the second tent. Should only need fans for the 3x1x3 zones. Trouble is finding low growers.

Red/green bell did good as did jalapeño. Forgot basil. The rest only stayed until about 12” then out they went.

Going to be busy soon.

We’re gunna pretty much try everything lol, then start weeding out what dosent do well, for sure we’ll want tomatoes and leuttice as well as tons of herbs etc may even get one of those low 8” deep Rubbermaid totes and try to do onions too

90% crushed tomatoes and sauce, a bunch of hot pepper mixes (Hungarian hot wax and jalapeño) then 12 quarts of homemade applesauce (we picked the apples at a local farm ourselves, our Trees won’t be ready for another 3-4 years) then 12 quarts of canned peaches (also picked by us at a local farm) can’t wait for all our fruit trees to mature lo


Homemade sauce, meatballs and bread lol

Just saw another thread that reminded me I wanted to try bug eating plants too. So many options, so little memory.

Had spider mites once.

I get gnats (only when I first plant in FF strawberry fields (had the same thing with happy frog) but they don’t bother me much, couple sticky traps and they dissipate after about 2 weeks, might start pre-cooking my soil even premade, last 2 runs was PM so that’s why I did a full shutdown, on the 22nd I get my new carpet installed then I can start setting up correctly, the full 4x4 setup including the light has all been cleaned and is in its original packaging atm in the corner of my room just waiting to go back up lol, never had any other bugs though, but my son LOVES ladybugs, so I may grab a bunch and just toss them in there if they get out no biggie my son Carries them around the house

Took a couple pics before I left, that Frostette is still in the lead so another big thanks to @Trustfall for the Frostette seeds! She looks like she’s gunna be reaching for the sky lol, how is the stretch in these girls?

All planted same day, the Chemdog has some shit goin on, twisted as hell, I’ll give it till day 30 if she picks up she stays if not a new bean gets dropped, the way she looks right now she might get pulled anyways, I don’t usually give up on runts though lol

The strawberry cough is doing great as well, much shorter compact plant but looks happy, closing in on 2 weeks soon, gunna decide on a transplant date soon for the first up pot to a 1 gallon pot

Nice fence for wood! You put it up?

 

[Mikedin]

Nice fence for wood! You put it up?

I would have, I’ve done a million fences over the years (ok maybe only like 1,000) but I had a company come in and do it, I work too much now and needed it done asap, it got installed during November 2021 I talked to the owner and when he found out why I was putting it up so late in the season (the creek in the back is a 40-50’ vertical drop to the water) and my son has Asperger’s, he gets curious, so all fence gates are master locked shut, but when he found that out he had 15 guys there 4 days later and had all the fence posts set in the first 5 hours (quite the task) came back the next day same guys and knocked it out in another 8 hours, and thats surrounding approx 3/4 of an acre. Then he gave me $1,000 off the quoted price. It was still $15k to get it put up though. But well worth it for peace of mind.

If it wasent for that fence I’d have a full sealed grow room, but priorities… and I’m fine with it

How much linear footage ? And gates ? I only curious what they are charging up there ? I run a fence company down here both sales and installation- we do the hard shit - stuff others don’t or can’t do . Good wood builders are hard to find this is our newest galv. Powered coated fence it’s all riveted together! Tons of labor but a fuckin wall !

I definitely feel like the 15k was well worth the peace of mind man. Gotta keep our kids safe for sure.
