Woohoooo, no longer feeling like the only female canna afficionada. Yes, I'm hoping harvest will be plentiful. :D

So, today, we had to work on the Big Kiwi plant seen below. It was so dense that I was a little concerned about mold eventually developing and no way am I going to sit by idly ... so, we bent some branches down a little, tying them off to posts. This should help light get in deeper and create a better air circulation as well. This plant is a good 7 feet tall, and with the bending, easily as wide. Just the stem is about 7" in circumference, this one is for the books if I can get it to harvest. :D

818 Headband, aka the original Sour OG. This is one of seven such plants in the garden, this one stands at 5' 4", and is full of tops. Flowering has begun.

Jeebus those bushes are BEAUTIFUL! :)

 

[Bahramji]

That Big Kiwi plant is great! I love how it's spreading. :)

You must be happy with the same things are going so far. Fingers crossed. :)

[Gandalfalfa]

Yes indeed, great progress!

 

[Rosenberg]

Big Kiwi, 7' 7", pretty much as wide and that stem is at a killer 9+ inches in circumference.

Durban Poison x U.K. Cheese ( a local Quebec strain ), the tallest is at 5' 6" and about 6' 4" wide, very bushy and should be ready by early October.

Nebula x Juan x Big, 4'

Some of my 818 Headbands ( Sour OG ), and a short DeLaHaze in the lower left. All the Headbands are at least 4' 6" and up to over 5'.

Hi OLDproLg, :)

Thank you very much, yeah, we get too much rain up here and it also gets quite damp. So far, things seem to be ok but I keep spraying them with a solution of garlic/vegetable oil and dish soap to help keep mold away. The soil I got from a local Plant Nursery and it filled the area with 2+ feet ( add to this that I first had the existing soil roto-tilled and we are at 3-4 feet of loose soil. In each plant hole, of course I prepared a richer soil ( coco fibre, bone and blood meal, worm casting compost, shrimp compost, vermiculite, perlite, promix with myco ). Since flowering began, I am feeding them with a tea composed of blackstrap molasses, kelp, worm casting compost, bat guano and any left over fruits and vegetables I find.

On top of soil, I have added hay, which as it decomposes, enriches the underlying soil with more nitrogen ( as well as helps in retaining soil humidity and warmth at night ).

Will be adding more covering in the couple of days. :)
