Mim's Garden

Every bean I've started lately has popped except all 7 ortegas. Not one even cracked. Not sure what's up with that

Maybe old stock... I've had same issue before...or maybe at some point they were stored in poor conditions

If you still have them try throwing them in the freezer overnight and put them back out to see if they go

I will do just that! Thanks. I was thinking there would be a trick if they're old or something, hopefully not cooked. I have 3 that I didn't germ yet, is there anything special I can do there? Or just the freeze

an H202 soak may help

You could try cracking them manually but freezing the embryo will do the same thing and is not risking smashing them. Honestly conditions are ideal, simulation of spring thaw by soaking then a frost to get the process jump started. If they can go they will. Ideally sewn at the on the cusp of a new moon, but a full moon will do.

I'll toss them in the freezer tonight, but I actually just emailed AK Bean brains and had him direct me towards the best NL in his master list. He said his NL1 and NL5 were bulletproof so I went ahead and grabbed both. I want my girl to be able to have a solid bean to use as her first try growing the chronic, and Norhtern Lights was her request. I also nabbed his Boel Oaxacan ... using her run as justification to buy more seeds lol Hey my great grandpa was from oaxaca ....

I never had a pair, but always saw people talking about them. Gonna try em out tonight, they seem pretty sharp. I normally use the curved blade spring loaded hydofarm ones, so we'll see if I like these as much

A lot of old timers told me about Japanese bonsai scissors. That is what I have used for years.

I gotta say these things got me feeling like a real fruit ninja chopping on this 87' Limepop x Palm Beach Sour Apple Diesel . I can feel the difference, and I'm liking it.

Rough night in the jungle. Dehu was set to 65 and I didn't notice because I taped over the display. Had to toss the whole Berry Bubba because she started to mold. Then I saw that Fungus gnats decided to eat my 2 Blue Steel x Mac seedlings, annnd then I saw some nanners on my Wowzers x Star Stomper. In my emotional state I chopped the wowstar, threw away the BB plant, and adjusted my RH. I always get things going well and then slack somewhere. I'll tighten up this ship. On with the show....

 

[Mim Towls]

This round of 87LPPBSAD threw up some decent size sour chunks. I did a wet trim, and lopped them into a dry rack with the dehu set proper. I think that the Berry Bubba was just a lil warning for me to tighten up before I fucked up this harvest, which is MUCH larger. I'll take it as a lesson

Wrapping up on my frantic, whole house cleaning, trimming, R/H correcting gauntlet this morning and feeling like I have a handle on things. Gave my seedlings a lil BMC and have my harvest in the spare room stinking up my girls clothes. I looked over and saw our first monarch of the year decided to emerge, so I'll take this time to go enjoy the garden and let the lil homie chill on my hand till it's time to fly~

 

[Mohican]

Where do you get the Monarchs?

 

[Mim Towls]

Where do you get the Monarchs?

I found those ones as eggs on our swamp milkweed plant outside. There's a pretty crazy ecosystem out there so we try to bring them in before the wasps and stuff have their way with them. We do the swallowtails too

Pruned back my garden finally and I have been harvesting the seeds off of the cuttings. Here are some seeds from the Shoreline Michoacan x TGA Agent Orange:
