pig pot?!?! hahah thats a funny name!!! fitting!!! hehe

I didn’t smoke back then and wondered what she was growing in her yard.

i mowed the front yard for the first time this year.. burned up the ricky bobby machine!! i think i toasted the motor.. it stopped very abruptly and i cant crank the engine. dun dun dun.. it had oil in it.. idk.. it's a 2000 i think... maybe an 01... i bought it as a left over/showroom model. got a solid 25 years of mowing from the motor. deck is still in great shape. so is the rest of it for the most part.. i have another motor in a mower a friend gave me years ago. the mower itself is garbage but the briggs motor is the same one..

I yanked the motor from my old Frankenmower. Thought the kids could use it or I’d find a use. Seems kids don’t want things like that anymore and I never got around to using it. I’ve got a few Briggs & Stratton engines. Sears used them.

doesn't look that hard to swap out.. i have a hoist in my garage so it "should" go smooth.. i might have to ring vicky vallencourt if things get crazy!!!

Should be easy if the bolt holes line up on the deck. Just watch the blade is the same hight/position. Not sure if you need a hoist but it does act like a second set of hands.

no roots yet... patiently waiting.. tops look great yet and just starting to show yellowing on the very tips. stem texture looks great too.. just waiting.
went all in on a jar of big foot....

Nice. I was considering adding some of the mykos and azos to the veggies but it’s to pricey. The rest I’ve already applied. I also charged the soil with JMS. Just left a 5 gallon bucket sitting with old forest soil and blended potatoes in a net in the sun. Hope it gets these veggies off to a good start.

i also cheated... i bought a grape tomato plant... i'm so weak!!!!!!!! haha

Since I started working the soil my wife’s been adding a few new plants to the ones waiting in the basement kitchen.



Two different tomatoes which are both beefsteak just by different names and a sickly set of corn called obsession, which looks like peaches and cream.

It’s not cheating so much as making up time. Just save seeds from the ones you like. Make sure to let them sit in the juices for a week before drying for later use.

We had a heat wave for the long weekend here as well. Drooped the onions I planted earlier so I planted others after 10pm.

Today was a repeat for high temps and humidity but with a severe thunderstorm coming by this afternoon. That would wipe out what I plant so I’ll wait another day. Problem is the seedlings are getting to big and are starting to wilt. Need to plant them ASAP.

i won't have to mess with the blades or deck at all. in fact, i'll prolly take that off just to keep it out of the way for the motor swap. both the drivetrain and blades spin from a compound pully on the motor shaft. it's the same size and has a keyway to keep it in the correct position. i didn't even take it of the old motor, it slipped out with it still on. most likely going back in the same way!! hehe

my major concern is the muffler, the newer style motor plate has a large cut out in it for the muffler to slip into. my older model just has the exhaust pipe going through a small hole and muffler is under that plate.. if it doesn't just pull apart i'm gonna get out the plasma cutter and just cut that plate out to the new style. i really don't wanna mess with rusty exhaust manifold bolts so i'll do whatever i have to so i don't have to remove the exhaust pipe. i'd prolly end up snapping those bolts.. even though i have been spraying them down for days now!!! fingers crossed!!!!

your plants are much further ahead than mine!!! i have them all outside now though, all in their own cups too.. the cucumbers are the only thing in the ground so far, they're doing great.. tomatoes will go in next, i have more than a dozen extra so i'm gonna just plant them all over in different spots.

peppers will need more time.. your jalapenos are doing great but not quite ready for a transplant. and my ghost peppers are even further behind and are still in the fragile stage.

watermelons are still in the imagination stage.. but i did get all the weed block down and it's doing it's job perfect!!!! now that my tent is empty i need to start the melon seeds... maybe tonight...

our shitty heat wave is still in effect.. by the weekend we'll need to turn the heat on... crazy flip flop right now!!!

we hot a crazy hot heat wave this week.. prolly hotter than your house!!! i'll get back on it over the weekend when it cools off a little. fuckin triple digits right now.. no warning, no AC.. bullshit!!!!!!



sweet thanks man!!!!! i was wondering if there was gonna be any type of bonus at all since we didnt get fantasy points.. riding right at 4667 right now!!

.

jelly fish?!?! i almost forgot about that stuff. i used to love that stuff on my clones!!!

but yes sir, i opened both my bigfoots.. i opened the pouch i bought and ended up using it on my soil plants then i bought a jar because i didn't have enough for the hydro. my jar of great white expires in four days so i've been using it on the veggies, there's not much left in that jar.

i kinda fucked up my soil plants. the lights were at 50-50-50 for most of their life. when i flipped the timer i added 10 and made it 60-60-60... well bro they hated it!!! i mean hated it!! every plant had curled leaves in four hours!!! i was like wtf?!?! i lowered it back down to 40-40-40 and has been there since for a few days. plants seem to recover fine and are still in stretch but those leaves will never recover fully. i'll be doing a defol in a couple weeks anyway but wow what a start to flower i had!!! kinda glad i checked in on them a few hours later, could have been way worse!!!
just find it very odd how that 10% did so much!!! they were a little dry so i ended up mixing the big foot in water gave them all a heavy drench. that was two or three days ago now...

the messed up part in my whole hydro plan is now i found had one more orca inoculation saved and it's still valid on the date.. i might use that now.. or maybe just both! idk... i'll worry about it if and when i get roots, today will be seven days now.
