Everyone's looking good. I love that you ask advice and then do the opposite. Lmmfao.

I think this one if my favorite right now.

 

[cbrians]

She just started showing some hairs

 

[Oldchucky]

Looking, sweet,Brah!

 

[cbrians]

This one is getting bulky and hairy but I have NO IDEA when it actually started flowering. Hawkward.

I have a problem. Am I the problem?

The others are starting right on time for your neck of the woods! Nice!

Ironically, I transplanted sunflowers in this bed and they died. When they died the seeds I planted sprouted. Interesting.

 

[cbrians]

if you’ll excuse me, fridays are for shit stirring.

why do I do this to myself

 

[Oldchucky]

I guess that bed is a one trick pony!

 

[Organic13]

I'd tell you sunflowers hate being moved unless you can do without disturbing the roots at all, but I'm afraid with that information, you'll try to now transplant the new ones.

 

[Oldchucky]

She got you pegged, brother! Ha ha ha!

I found that out after I transplanted them

I had a whole starter tray, like 80 of them. The half I planted in ground and watered with great white are doing great. The others not so much lol

I also stated beets and carrots in trays which I now realize was a bad idea

I don't start any root vegetables anywhere, but the ground. They absolutely hate it too. Direct sow all that stuff. If you find animals digging up your seeds, cover with an old screen with the frame. That's what I've been doing to keep the animals out of my stuff. Once they sprout, I uncover them.

Carrots don't need light to germinate either. If you find they aren't germinating well, I've seen people cover them with a board.

opened her up all the way today. wanted to stir the shit in the deep dark corners lol

finding a lot of what looks like soil chunks, which I’m hoping is a sign the compost is composting. It’s looks more broken down. Not sure if it’s from me stabbing it every week or composting. Time will tell.

 

[katraiter]

These fox tails. Maybe it’s a california name lol

Ouchy!

 

[cbrians]

all four officially flowering

autos, another story. one is still standing strong. The one I overcooked seems to be struggling a bit. poor thing is down a leaf too. I’ll try to nurse her back to health.

 

[Organic13]

Big girls looking good.

Not you stressing a plant that can't take stress. I'm shocked.
