Outdoor grow in Southeast Michigan 2024

[Novaracer69]

I will put this out there. I have noticed that everything I have made in my backyard. They're the plants I have zero issues with PM or anything else so far. I am guessing it has some to do with the environment it is noticeable. I have a few friends that told me your shit is clean but the rest they have to baby sit. Just a observation.
Good morning everyone

I think Cpurrs place would be the ultimate testing ground! You need to get her some seeds! L O L!

I WILL do that next year. And alot of other things I was too lazy to do this year. (g)

But, I disagree about having many different strains going at the same time. I want to find the best, for my micro-climate, and to do that involves trying them out, real world.

The 3 plants I have I enjoy. If I had much more it would start to feel like work.

We don't get the same climate year to year. This year has been super with almost no need to water etc. Other years get a month of dry time. That also means different bugs are around more some years. I end up planting then working with what I get.

They look really good. I'm envious.
I really think that planting next to a building gives some protection from the pathogens. The ones from the trees.
Of course there's always the leaf hoppers and others who transmit disease.

Her backyard is kind of the equivalent of the bikini atoll in 1954!

No the idea is she need to make her own in her environment

Very nice! What varieties are they?
One note of caution. The leaves in the beige fabric pot that are changing color may be the first stages of ALTERNARIA.
Here is one of mine, I took the pic this morning.

Many of us had that same issue this year. The weather warmed up early so we jumped the gun.
I tried growing regular seeds and started them way too early. Some re-vegged, some not, but next year will be different.
Where did you get your seeds? Local breeder or seedbank?

Thanks. Do you do preventative spraying for bugs or disease?
I hope you stay around on the forum. We need more info. about what works and what doesn't in our 'neck 'o the woods'.

I have really good soil around here I never have a problem with disease or bugs at least for what's in the ground

Your plants look great! So, you cover the enclosure when it rains? If so, when you water, do you use city water or well water?
