Anyone got advice on growing cabbage? Lol
My oldest kid came home from school with a cabbage plant and said whoever has the biggest one gets a 1,000 dollar scholarship. So I told him I'd try my best😂

It’s a cool weather plant. It likes full sun and loose loamy soil. One of the few garden plants a bit picky about ph. 6.5-6.8. Adding bloodmeal to the soil prior to planting helps leaf growth. Keep it watered well but not wet.

Not 100% sure but I image similar to the lettuce. Keep watered but not soggy. The roots and base rot if damp to much. The middle/stalk will grow longer, stretch, like succulents.

But that’s only 2-2.5 years of my growing store bought and transplanting.
 
Morninnn!
So, there has been a robbery around here! Last night, the coons went through the cat door in my SheShed and took all of my pb and crackers and all of my pretzels! Feckers.. Can’t turn em in as the description is the same for all of the little thieves!

Time for a small latching tote to keep munchies in!
I've been waiting for the bear to rip my shed doors off and get in after my sweet smelling grill lol. Thankfully I've been keeping it super clean so I think that helps.

I keep a super soaker handy. They take fake magazines. I fill them with white vinegar. Whenever one tries to nest or do damage I go hunting with the dog.

My last dog Bear loved it. Willow hasn’t had the experience yet.

Just watch out for distemper. Last two raccoons I saw last year or the year before definitely weren’t acting normal.
 
Somehow, I don’t see me hid out at the shed at 4am with a super soaker filled with vinegar water! At least yet.. not saying it couldn’t happen as I age. 🤪

The latching tote is a no go..they have thumbs. The only thing I have found that they can’t ace is a lock with a key.

Ya don’t want that middle stalk growing. That’s called bolting. Kind of like your weed seedling being 10” tall and skinny. If you add the blood meal the leaves will close, ball and tighten. That makes for a good head of cabbage.
 
Now, I gotta quit playing! Off to make a trip to the post office and into Mountain View to do some shopping. I need dirt!
Catch yiz this evening for a 💨!
 
It’s 💨 thirty! Any of Yiz got anything rolled up? I’ve got some of @Moe.Red ‘s watermelon gelato 🍧 rolled up and ready to burn 🥰

granny i gotta tell ya i'm chompin at the bit to try my wine!!!!!! i see t every single day when i walk by, thats the problem!!! got six more weeks to wait!! gonna buy sugar for it... you said i could use white sugar like a shiner but i'm gonna get good sugar for it.

you said cane sugar, correct?
 
Truth is, I’ve used both cane sugar and white. I literally cannot tell a difference. The old timers swear by the cane. Remember also that the cane is much sweeter than the white.

I put mine in a dark cool closet, where I don’t see it.. old adage..outta sight, outta mind!

oh i do too, well not in the closet, next to it.... but it happens to be along the path i need to take to get to my plants!!!! gotta look at the plants-gotta see the wine... viscous cycle i tell ya!!! :ROFLMAO: :ROFLMAO:

i used a big fruit bag of peaches maybe two gallons worth? and four lbs of white sugar and the rest water. along with yeast, yeast nutes, and amylase enzymes.

i don't have a way to test my sugar content. i'd like to invest in a brix meter someday. maybe in six weeks is that day..

When boy birds sing, they're usually saying one of two things:

Ladies! Check out my plumage! Do me, and I'll share my territory with you!
or
Dudes! This is my territory! I'll kill ya for looking at me funny!

So their lives are pretty much like the typical bar scene in just about any movie.
 
Gday all, Cat story time....after 2 J's in the morning with Qnight in my shop I come back up for coffee and I have to bribe my cat Coal out of my seat. It started about a year ago he was coiled up and I put a drop of butter on my finger he licked it up and the second piece I held at arms length so he had to move if he wanted more...he did and now its a habit...lol....5-6 days a week its the same routine.

Our little guy Dusk is all in with that and gets a small lick too, when ever Coal gets it so does he now. One day I switched to creamed cheese & that lit them up with more more funny as fk, little Dusky was drooling for more Coal pawing at my leg, give me more more.......they don't get more than a fingernails worth, little chunks at a time once per day and google says alls good and so do my cats...

I’ve got one thats nuts about butter! He managed to slink his way past myself and the Hubby to get in the house. I came in to find him on the counter sucking up the butter from my butter dish. Freaked me out as I can’t stand a cat 🐈 on my counter or in my kitchen much less eating from my butter dish. He would absolutely do tricks to get more. So, every once in awhile I oblige him. Nothing else, just butter for him!
Hows the harvest coming along? I’m pretty close here myself. This round everything that could go wrong did. Both human and mechanical errors. One night after a warm day of doing a fresh air exchange I failed to close the window, it dropped to 52* in my grow overnight. Within two weeks my AC went out ( had to wait two weeks for the parts to come in prior to repair) and my room saw highs of 94-96*. I have major purpling on every single plant. Amazingly the whole crop is sticky as syrup.
I have stuff that should be on the edge of ripe showing no signs of slowing down nor ripening and I have stuff that should not even be close to ripening milking up. My whole house reeks.
If this turns out to be half as wicked as it smells and as sticky as it is, I may never baby another crop!

My best grows still were outside and with heat/drought stress daily. If 100 degree weather bakes off terpenes some of the plants I grew in that shit must've been some elite ladies I should have cloned 🫣

Hey, harvest is all done they are in drying now, 10 weeks is all I could wait, done or not done they're done..lol. Today is transplant day for as many as I can get done. I still have some work to do cleaning lines and my chiller.

I think I fked up this last grow with an 11/13 light screw up instead of 13/11.....I have my new Spiderfarmer Glow 40 red lights up and this grow I'll get it right....lol...I've been saying that for 30 years...the next one will be perfect....I have a plan.....lol

All 6 jr. plants are healthy but the Chocolate Mimosa is still slow and the rest are stunting in small pots. I was hoping to be done July 1st.....not going to be close now I'm hoping by the 30th
 
@steamroller
Ya remember that coon ya were so concerned about? Fear not! He has been spotted! He has been relocated to a rural area under the “witless“ protection program. He even has his own toys!

This is a deep realization -- and don't go off half cocked with any fly by night theory -- have you been smoking wacky tobacco again?
