Im here because there are people I like here! :D
thanks guys.... things are moving along..... one step forward, two steps back, a hop and a leap, and we are in the lead.....
I watered and fed today. The details of the feedings and watering is mixed in with the picture captions. Im hoping I will be able to organize the pics in the order they were taken, that way the captions are easy to follow and make sense. I will also edit in captions after all the herb pics are posted.
Pic 1- This picture is taken from approximately 20 ft above the groundline of the garden area.
Pic 2- This picture was taken 12 feet above ground level of garden area.
Pic 3- This picture was taken 14 feet above ground level of garden area.
Pic 4-Extra Tall PK (L), and Extra Wide PK (R), both were fed today.
Pic 5- PK wide looks about 8 ft tall right now, will measure them all soon with tape measure. Both PK "Wide", and PK "Tall" were fed the same way today.
Pic 6- PK "Tall" looking a good bit over 11 ft. It and the PK "Wide" were fed- First mixing 3 tblspns Botanicares Cal Mag + in 2 gallons of water (1.5 Tblspns/gal), I spread the 2 gallons evenly over the area of the raised bed. Then I mixed 4 tblspns of Fox Farms Grow Big in 2 gallons of water (2 Tblspns/gal), and spread the 2 gallons evenly over the area of the raised bed. Then I added approximately 5 gallons of water to the bed, and 5 around the sides at the base of the bed. thenI mixed 2 tblspns
Bio Bizz Fish Mix into 2 gallons of water (1 Tblspn/gal), and spread it evenly over the area of the bed. Last I added another 2 gallons of water into the bed, and about 2 gallons of water around the base of the bed. Thats 20 gallons of water total give or take a little (more like add . I gave both these Momma Beasts the same feeding amounts. I am guessing this feeding soaked 4-5 ft deep in the soil (from topsoil in raised bed ), and spread 7 ft by 7 ft wide. I don't plan on watering for 3 days, and right before I water them again, they will get top dressed.
Pic 7- He is standing tip toes on the top of the wood for the raised bed. PK "Tall"
Pic 8- PK "Tall" is not just tall, she is wide too, see .
Pic 9- I think of this PK as having 2 legs, so the "2 legged PK". Both it and the PK next to it were fed 3 tblspns
Bio Bizz Fish Mix in 2 gallons of water, spread evenly over the raise bed, then watering in with about 10 gallons of water in the bed, and 5 outside of the bed.
Pic 10- Fed just the same as the PK in Pic 9, this PK is a South Western leaner... its recovering well from revegging, and I think it is about to really take off .
Pic 11- The Ugly Indian Landrace (UIL). Its the only one in the ground. It grows by leaps and bounds when your not looking! It eats like a horse (horse manure hehehe). She was fed today too. She got 2 tblspns Botanicares Cal Mag + in 2 gallons of water, spread evenly in her little bed. Then she got 2 Tblspns of
Bio Bizz Fish Mix in 2 gallons of water spread evenly in her bed. Last she got 4-5 more gallons in her bed, and about 8 gallons outside of her bed. 17 gallons of water.
Pic 12- UIL Wish you could see the facial expression. Its become quite common for anyone that stands next to this plant, and then visits a couple weeks later and stands next to it again.... its like- "I knew it grew, but damn, now Im a little scared." hahaha.
Pic 13- Chemo Cindy X Hi Jack. The outer growth is starting to block too much light for the Inner fan leaves, the plant is transporting the Nitrogen to new growth. I also fed her today, exactly the same as the UIL next to her. She got 2 tblspns Botanicares Cal Mag + in 2 gallons of water, spread evenly in her little bed. Then she got 2 Tblspns of
Bio Bizz Fish Mix in 2 gallons of water spread evenly in her bed. Last she got 4-5 more gallons in her bed, and about 8 gallons outside of her bed. about 17 gallons of water.
Pic 14- Sometimes we just stand around, having no senses for anything but feeling the moments we are with the plants.... just looking into each one, feeling them. To some people it might look like walking around aimlessly and with no purpose....
Pic 15- The PK next to the Sensi Star, Damn she is impressing me with her new vegetative vigor!! She and the Sensi Star next to her were fed the same today. 2.5 tblspns of
Bio Bizz Fish Mix in 2 gallons of water. Then watered in with 8 gallons in the raised beds and 8 gallons around the sides at the base of the beds.
Pic 16- Pointing out the dog running off to chase an animal . The Sensi Star as described above- 2.5 tblspns of
Bio Bizz Fish Mix in 2 gallons of water. Then watered in with 8 gallons in the raised beds and 8 gallons around the sides at the base of the beds. PK (L), Sensi Star (C), Maui Skunk Original (R), Maui Skunk X Blueberry (FR)
Pic 17- I do LOVE the Original Maui Skunk, centered here, she is growing especially vigorously since being transplanted about two weeks ago. Just water for her today, she gets fed next go around .
Pic 18- A closer look at the Original Maui Skunk, just because I am so in love, hehehe. I love all my plants mind you.
Pic 19- CCxHJ centered. Just a look at structure.... huge fan leaves, denser growth at the tops, and thats a good thing .
Pic 20- This CCxHJ, and the UIL on the right, both have stalks that are getting Huge! they are catching up to the Largest plants very quickly. The PK isn't the fastest vegetatively growing plant .
