Demeter, how are those girls doing? HAve you increased your ventilation?
Hi foxy- I flushed everybody thoroughly and even so, one died, but the other sick one seems to be surviving. I am leaving the door open and the other five seem to be okay. I am going to get perlite today and repot the sickly one, and put her near the door opening, and hopefully she will pull through. I gave them all a pep talk yesterday and shook the CO2 bottles- it was a ritual thing:hippy: Thanks so much for the house call and medicine! Mr. MTF is looking happy- I am keeping him lst'd, so he is one long fellow!
First the rain and now the heat! Everything is in the ground now except a few ornamental peppers. The tomatillos are flowering, yum, salsa verde!
I just came in from a long walk - I just got a pair of MBT shoes, and they really do change the way you walk! I try to walk at least 4x per week for an hour and a half, so I am looking forward to seeing how they work.
It was great seeing you- next time, pizza for sure!
pizza, woot.
That MAtanuska Thunderfuck is a female... she may be a burly bitch, but a bitch she is. And yes, she likes bondage. :D
yoiks! I've been away and slow coming back on board...sorry about the damage, Demeter. But the garden sounds like it's well off. yes?
I got my plants and seeds in last Monday and it has been really warm up here (VT) all week. There all going really well. Red Caribbean habinero peppers. super chilli, cayenne, red yellow and banana sweet peppers... three var. tomatos (no tomatillo) eggplant, brocholli, and other stuff (the list is getting crazy here)
Very nice thread you got here!

Thanks shov! Your garden sounds wonderful! If you come into beantown for the festival in Sept, we could trade produce:hippy:
what festival, Demeter?

Hempfest- I hope it is still happening this year. The folks at the Boston Common were yapping about not letting it be there this year, but hopefully if it is moved, it will be somewhere pretty. I've been a few times, but I was always dry :( so it was not as much fun, as it is not the place to try to hook up or even smoke. Toooooo many police. It is better to go planning to hang out with friends, check out the vendor stuff, and support the movement. If a bunch of us meet up beforehand, we can have our own celebration!:jointsmile:
Yeah that's what I was thinking too... it would be nice to go down to the shore for an early morning walk-n-puff, then munch a lunch, and hit the festival after. I'd never show up to a festival even CARRYING. Too much risk.
Here are pics of some of my outdoor flowers! Catmint that the neighbors cats love to munch on- it borders the front walkway, and the cats roll around afterward all blissed-out! The climbing yellow rose has gotten out of control; we need to get the ladder out and trim the wild thing. I love the blue gray foliage and bright pink flowers on this dianthus.The siberian iris are at the front fence, and there are six bunches of them just starting to open up. The clematis in the pot is climbing a lemon lace vine. Everyday something new blooms. The bearded iris should be open in a day or so, and I will post their pics. I love Spring!
Yesterday these plants were fine. Today I see they are reduced to sticks!
I look closer and they are infested with green caterpillars! Damn them-
Observe the bastards who ate my arugula - They are now green juice in a paper towel!
They must have come in from outside. I need to patrol the veg garden. Danger lurks.
