NCGA Summer 2014

Ya know, I never once noticed that rig. You'd think I would have. Or maybe not. Apparently Mrs. baronA will not be coming out? That's too bad.

The PH set up is down in the water barn , will take you on the tour.

I ask BaronA to come out early to help me with a Bride that has a limited budget but is wanting everything perfect. My floor manger who normally does front of the house is a brides maid . So I wanted someone to hold down the kitchen while I do the front of the house. He just came out early the Mrs will be here a bit later this month

Yay! :D I forgot about the other barn.

Can't wait to talk shop with you Seamaiden. Baron A's Menu for Friday open to select locals :)

Well... Unfortunately, we won't be able to do our usual fun-filled weekend with all of you down there. I can't say just how bummed out I am. I'm hoping we might be able to make it out on Saturday, but can't say right now. We've just added septic alarm and problems to our list of stuff that *must* be dealt with this week.

That menu looks FANTASTIC.

Long time no posting as it has been one busy summer.

The garden is just fantastic this year with the only problem so far has been Fusarium Wilt. Took a bit of work but got it under control. Will continue the preventative and using Oxidate soil drench when it shows next time. Then follow up with a strong tea to get some life back into the soil.

By using mainly powdered ferts this year have greatly reduced fertilizer coast's. Just did out last 12 12 2.5 pellet application and topped with our bloom top dress...Earth worm casting High P bat, Phosphorus fert 0 12 0 , Baseline, Mycos, Seaweed powder 0 0 14, and sulphate of potash.

For finishing I will be running trial on a new product that will be on the Market next year. Compared to the House & Garden I normally use as finishing aid this is a fraction of the price

Hill side Garden
So hard to get to as I age LOL... its a growmore garden that has gotten 3 top dressings

NCGA, good to see you around bro. I know you surely don't remember but you sent me some Bluewidow, Bluebell, Stonehedge x Champagne/BigBud and some Chemo/WW crosses way back in 98'. I went by Kentucky Skank in those days. Good to see you still hold the BlueWidow. Wish I still had my cut. A lot of nice plants in those beans you sent. Your generosity has never been forgotten. Good growing to you sir. :)

You can selectively clear the cache, too. If you've saved passwords, you should be able to get to those via your settings manager. :)

Lets try some early shots

And some from a few weeks ago. Not a bad year as the 3x3 beds did as well as the 5x5's

Very nice--
what was the upload problem???

I used my Car laptop. I tend to only use this to tune the car but it worked.

IS there a way to edit posts ?
