doing pretty good at the moment, seems like the newest growth isnt doing it any more.... weird. caught a catirpillar in the act of munching couple nights ago, so i sprayed some neem all over the area. got a few little yellow flowers inbetween nodes too...... thanks for the interest/advice. hows your garden doing?

ah neem the all around best product IMO.

and my garden is doing great, as soon as the weather gets good again they are goona take off, we have been hit with a few small rain wind storms the last few days and have a few more coming this week but then should be good after that.
i figure if they all survived the hail storm the other day then they should be good

I have a 4' x 4' area on a raised bed where my strawberries rootings never took. I need to plant something between my onions and my red potatoes in that 4x4 space.... Any suggestions?

radishes are good, and they are good to place near those plants, or maybe some carrots, lettuce, cilantro if you dont already have it, i assume you do though if you make your own salsa.

i am going to be trying to make my own salsa this year as well as tomato paste for spaghetti

if its onion and potatoes, thien id plant some carrots inbetween, and make stew with everything in the bed. just my opinion

looks like it could have been trimmed a lil better, but other then that it looks good and i would smoke it. kinda hard to tell at the same time though, does it smell good? is it really dry or damp? is it fluffy or dense? and last but not least how does it smoke and whats the high like? thats how you tell if its bad,decent, good or grade A.

forgot to ask did you grow that or is it bought?

well im still curing it, i grew it, its still a lil damp, but its getting more even. it smells mostly like good bud, just a tiny bit fresh smelling still, but i can tell its going away. so thanks though, i woulnd ask your opinion on it was bud i bought. but i havent smoked it yet actually, so ill let you know.

edit; yeah i trimmed it really lazily, there were sooooo many leaves it took forever just to do that.

a proper drying and cure can make or break the quality of it. im sure it smoke good man, home grown is always the best
