I liked Oscar as it was just a garbage bag full of old roots and mulch from running bubble hash, along with god knows whaat else. I trully believe if you compost your trim and leftovers from making hash then the plants love growing in this medium. I mean this little one made it's way out of a closed up black bag and without much care turned into a nice fat bush. Don't you just love these plants!!!

I had no idea that was the story behind Oscar! That is amazing,,, makes my wonder why I put so much effort into this lol

oscar!

Aye, it's a mystery sometimes whodat. But the world worked pretty well before we arrived so I reckon it's little wonder that things do better when we don't stick our ores in! lol.

Was just about to post this when the site went down. Luckily I copy and pasted before it did.

Some ups and some downs in the garden. The lettuce starts I bought are aphide infected. One already snuffed it, kicked the bucket so to say. Given them a spray with the nicotine spray I made up with a bit of the garlic mix and we shall see. One of the potato pots just went tits up. Literally they all just keeled over. Gave them some medicine but nadda. So I chopped the tops off hoping that they will do as they did last year when they got frosted to fuk, they literally grew back even bigger! Anyway, some pics.

Doce Rosso

Pumpkin

The toms from seed. All strains have now produced something. Couple of pots didn't do so well. I'll decide shortly which will get culled.

Dons dolce rosso clone...roots starting to develop. Just in a shot glass, no rooting hormone.

LGP and Mr West's dolce rosso clone.

The Tulips.

Boss tulip

Don't you just love nature. So these little one as I said before, literally appeared out of some pots of soil I had set aside for the tomatoes within a few days of the spring equinox. And that was in very, very cold conditions. And now another 2 have appeared, lol. I repotted these ones.


And the fukked up spuds....


Peace, DST

That really is amazing. You should hold onto those herb plants that seem to love the cold, you could grow year round!
Tomatoes are also very hearty,,, last year when I direct sowed too many I literally ripped them out of the ground, stuck them in a cooler with water and an airstone and in a week they all had good roots, from there they went into the ground. I wish cannabis rooted as easy.

Your so much farther along than I am... though everyone is, I fooked it pretty good this year in regards to veggies.

Year around lol (depends what your growing but year around there is always something you could be growing) its just my timing is soooooooooooo terrible! Granted Iv had allot of stuff going, it still annoys me.
The winters arn't bad, I think it only froze twice this year, but mid summer is HOT so young plants dont coup well its best to have them established... I'll still have a bumper garden it will just be behind everyone elses. I guess I cant complain too much now that I think of it lol. Hats off to you though :clap: Im going to start everything indoors next year in flats.

Excuse my dumbness lol. What is dolce rosso? I so want to make a veg patch in my back yard. I've been thinking about it for a while now. I'm gonna go learn what to grow at this time of year and just do it. I loved working in the gardens when i done landscaping

It's a cross between Roma toms, and cherry toms. So you get the sweetnees of the cherry, but the Roma gives them a bit more size. They are seriously lush in my book.

Cleaned out the greenhouse yesterday, including cleaning all the glass. Hung a net up for the two big clones to grow into. Repotted the new toms from seed today. Moved the tulips outside, they seem to be blooming. We have various varieties, the ones I know are Darwin - Queen of the Night, which is black/purple, and Shirley, which is a more subtle white/cream, with pink eadges. The boys seem to be happy in there. And the 5 yins are doing what yins do (not a frikkin lot, lol). Anyway, on with the pics.

Tulips.




New toms, no 6 is still lagging behind a bit.






And the Dolce Rosso (you thought you needed support for exo cheese, mwahaha. This is the og spider plant!.

One of the branches had some root nubs starting so I buried it a bit and put a clay pot on top.


yins....

Boys boys boys....

[youtube]Qh_lB4xHqWw[/youtube] can't believe I use to dance to that on holiday in the 80's, haha.
