Worst drought in years. Will the dust bowl be back in 2013? http://droughtmonitor.unl.edu/ http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/12/31/drought-likely-to-continu_n_2388085.html Monday, January 14 View Page creepy but cool. Any ideas? Friday, January 25 View Page huh, huh, is it, is it? Saturday, February 2 View Page OK, everyone time to get serous Sunday, February 3 View Page My wife left me a message. So I think I'll take it easy on my pumpkin spending This year. Sunday, February 3 View Page it was in the 70's last year. Where's global warming when you need it Tuesday, February 12 View Page I found the best book. Of how not to do it. Thursday, February 14 View Page One of the best things about growing pumpkins. Is MAAAILLL. But not when its oozing out of the mailbox and allover the mail. Had to laugh as I wiped out the mailbox, and though just how lucky the post office and their other packages are that it wasn't fish fertilizer. Sunday, February 17 View Page Quiet every one! here he comes. Sunday, February 17 View Page Their getting smarter. Sunday, February 17 View Page and uglier Sunday, February 17 View Page And I mean ugly Sunday, February 17 View Page and stronger Sunday, February 17 View Page and crazier, then ever. Are you ready? Friday, February 22 View Page 8 or 9 inch. Saturday, February 23 View Page This is what you do when everyone is in Vegas, Thanks for the pic's Chris looks like fun! Sure is quite around here. Time to get comfortable with germing. I wanted to see the deference of filing or not filing, in germinating time. I like to use dry seed starting mix. Saturday, February 23 View Page Normally I would just cover the tops of the seeds. But what fun is normal. The group on the left has been sanded, the right was not. I soaked them for 30 min, then placed them like you see. Then I added 5 mil of water over each seed.( that about 15 drops) Covered the container. I used a cheap seed mat that should get the soil around 80 deg, along with T5 lights. Here the seed mat used. (great price) http://www.menards.com/main/lawn-garden/seeds-bulbs/10x20-propagation-heating-mat/p-1730057-c-10125.htm Sunday, February 24 View Page 24 hours at 78 degrees, both filed and not filed seeds are showing there tap root. Surprised to see one of the seed coats opening. I added 5mils more water to each seed. I'll give them one more day to be sure they germinate, and the tap is 1/2 1" long. Monday, February 25 View Page Every one germinated same time, no deference whether filed or not. The two rows on the left are the unfiled ones. Now they will be safe from drowning. At this point I would carefully put the seed in moist soil and cover it back up. Now I want to see if filing help them shed the seed coat. (bet it does, one was all ready opening) Monday, February 25 View Page Carefully put the seed in the hole. I was a little rougher then normal. Guess I'll see if I hurt any. Unplugged the heat mat, don't need it anymore. I use T 5 grow lights. Wednesday, February 27 View Page oops! don't forget the fan. Unless you want to cook them. got over 100 degrees. Thursday, February 28 View Page And there off, most of the filed seeds are opening. Friday, March 1 View Page Some open at the same time. There's a very, very small advantage to filing if any. Going off this test. Saturday, March 2 View Page No real difference. between filed and not. no problem getting out of there seed coats. Saturday, March 2 View Page every one happy and healthy. Until I yanked them out, hee hee. But I'll still be filing. Not trying to change the world. No reason to over think this germing thing. K.I.S.S Thursday, March 7 View Page Study up. Its warming up. Friday, March 8 View Page A lot of Great tricks in this book. You can't see the fine print. Says: This tip comes from a big hitter named, Don Y. Saturday, March 9 View Page I'm getting sick of all this reading. Is is time to grow yet! Sunday, March 10 View Page Snow again. Don't look like a hot, dry year Sunday, March 17 View Page I just get seem to put this book down <[:o) Wednesday, March 20 View Page Got a couple of warm days so I planted my radishes and pea's Then seen the forecast. I'm sooooo done with snow. How would you like a roommate Chris.. Lol Wednesday, March 20 View Page Now I'm ready to grow the next world record. Look out Ron here I come. Saturday, March 23 View Page Can you believe it. finally time to plant something. Saturday, March 23 View Page Here's my pee's in a bucket.....Ha! peas Sunday, March 24 View Page 5 hours and $10 and a new use for my old water barrel. I had all winter to do this. Nothing like a little warm weather to get your drive going. Sunday, March 24 View Page Oh ya, 2 more inches of snow. Hopefully the last for the year? Tuesday, March 26 View Page I'm trying a few experimental tomato buckets. Using fiber pots. Its the new big thing, they say its the best way to grow in a pot, the idea is that instead of the roots wrapping around the bucket they will be air pruned. Can't see it making a big difference. I'm betting that it would be harder on the plant. We'll see. I still putting them in a buckets to keep them from blowing over and braking the root ball when I move them. That was the big problem with plastic grow bags. Tuesday, March 26 View Page I used this earth bucket last year. There was no difference with performance with just using a a regular bucket. But I used a timer to water 2 and 3 times a day. So it would be very useful for someone who could only water once a day. Sunday, March 31 View Page Why not try to believe what do have to lose. If you don't like it I'll refund your misery. Tuesday, April 2 View Page I'm putting this pic up to help me remember how big they get in 30 days. diary's are so helpful. Wednesday, April 3 View Page hope the wall makes it another year Wednesday, April 3 View Page Anyone know how to fix a tiller? Kin growing is hard on the equipment, hard on me too. I need to check into the no-till method.>_< Wednesday, April 3 View Page Great redneck trick to level the dirt. Thanks to growing videos from Frank & Tina. Can't wait for more! Friday, April 5 View Page Ever had a day. When you feel like everyone is trying to take your nut. Sunday, April 7 View Page It's hard when your just the little guy. Sunday, April 7 View Page This is the white trash growing method. But every thing in paint buckets. Monday, April 8 View Page This spring sucks Tuesday, April 9 View Page Snow Its not suppose to snow in April! No four letter words Chris.lol. I was thinking I should of waited another week to of put out the tomatoes. I was expecting freezing temps at nights. I would just put them in the shed with a heater. Now its will be freezing temps for 3 more days. I had to get the lights out there. Saturday, April 13 View Page Some changes to the water tank. New bigger mixing barrel. Removed the sprinkler solenoid its was useless under low presser. Saturday, April 13 View Page 2 Saturday, April 13 View Page 3 Saturday, April 13 View Page The tomatoes get one night outside. Looks like 3 days or more in the shed. what one does to get early maters. Wednesday, April 17 View Page Best product ever!! No muddy gloves or boots. No more cleaning paint pans Chris!! http://www.youtube.com/embed/IPM8OR6W6WE?feature Thursday, April 18 View Page I wonder if it works under the fingernails:) Thursday, April 18 View Page Note to self: This is how big herbs get in just over 2 months Thursday, April 18 View Page This is what tomatoes look like after 2 months when its cold and snowy most of the time. And they have to get stuck in the shed. I think I should turn the temp up from 50 to 60, oh well:( Thursday, April 18 View Page I also should of made some kin houses. The plan is to put them out on the last frost date which is may 15. This will probably be the first year I didn't plant every thing early. I'm getting really antsy. I don't want to start them to soon. Thursday, April 18 View Page It was freaking cold today!!! Forecast: crappy today, crappy tomorrow, next week just expect crap. Saturday, April 20 View Page Happy 4/20 Sunday, April 21 View Page 70 degrees today. Yippy! Got the water lines clean out. And the pump and timer working, good no money to fix stuff. I hope to get the to tree stump this fall. I cut down my money tree.lol. Sunday, April 21 View Page to many cold days for the winter rye. Sunday, April 21 View Page Here's my idea (it may have already been done). For shipping seeds. I wanted to try some tests to see if they could be shipped in a regular envelope with one stamp! Safely. Or at least it would stop the post office's seed smasher from Killing Seeds! The ring one the left is a pluming slip ring, too expensive. The right is a pvc piece, cut 1/4. The pvc anyone could make for next to nothing. I bet you could drive a car over it. Feel free to steal the idea and use and or improve on it. It would be happy if we could save those poor baby's from the masher. Tuesday, April 23 View Page Is it spring yet? Tuesday, April 23 View Page Soaked some seeds today. They look like they enjoyed themselves. Until one made bubbles. Saturday, April 27 View Page I think I was sold regular rye grass. they put winter rye on the label. Its finally starting to grow with the three 60 degree's days. A lot slower then an other batch I had in the fall. Oh well, at least I don't have to mow:) I changed the sprinkler head to 5' apart instead of 6' Looks like I'm getting better coverage. Plus if the plant blocks a sprayer I hope not to get dry spots. Tuesday, April 30 View Page YOU GOT TO FREAKING KIDDING ME!!! Tuesday, April 30 View Page Only 1 week of good weather 60's some 70's and 2 in the 80's A tiny bit of growth. But not with out a cost.

Saturday, June 22 View Page Still Hot.. I could be at the beach or boating or just soking in the kiddie pool. NOPE I working on pumpkins <]:) Saturday, June 22 View Page 1775 Starr is not looking pretty. I think there just a imbalance for amendments in her spot. One being to much nitrogen. The secondary would grow straight up. 3 of the secondary's was brittle and broke easily now I have to do some rearranging to fill in. it must be a tasty plant some bugs liked it. Some sun damage, some bird damage. there for a while all the birds would have a block party in my patch. They seemed to move on now. Saturday, June 22 View Page Starr leaf 1. Bug?

Sunday, June 30 View Page 1544 x 1775 pollinated yesterday. Hope it takes I only had one male flower to get the job done. Sunday, June 30 View Page 1544 Sunday, June 30 View Page 1775 next year I need to do a better job protecting this side of the patch from wind.

Monday, July 1 View Page Luna satisfied herself today. Thursday, July 4 View Page As if I don't have enough work, Now I'm sifting compost. I got 4 five gallon bucks of (nitrogen stealing) small un-composted wood sticks. Friday, July 5 View Page here's my 1544x1775 Friday, July 5 View Page #2 same cross. Friday, July 5 View Page he says this one as to go. Friday, July 5 View Page Back to overhead sprinklers. I should of switched to drip tape. Dan's sprinkler system SUCKS at getting an even watering. some areas become bone dry while others become a soaked mud puddle, Sunday, July 7 View Page 1775 had 4 of these grabby things on one node, weird Sunday, July 7 View Page 1775 is cursed:) I pollinated the prefect flower in the perfect spot. Then I went to cut the leaf off, and sliced a perfect slice off of the stem. All the months of planing screwed up in a nano second. Sunday, July 7 View Page I'm not sold on the fiber pots and the hole idea of air pruning. I think its use another product someone made. Then made up the reason why they work better then everything else. Sunday, July 7 View Page This is disturbing. 1544 has a secondary that is yellowing. started 3 leaves back from the main. The vine is getting soft. I didn't see a SVB. Can someone tell me what they think.... Don't say yellow vine disease.....Don't say yellow vine disease (fingers crossed) Sunday, July 7 View Page I've had problems with parts of the patch not getting water. And parts where the soil is getting hard and sticky, not crumbly...so not getting proper nutrients to parts of the plants. NUB!:) Sunday, July 7 View Page :( Sunday, July 7 View Page When in doubt get it out. Tuesday, July 9 View Page its hot Wednesday, July 10 View Page my second kin on my 1544 aborted. This leaves me with one about 15' feet.

Everyplace is a space for pumpkins Thursday, July 11 View Page 1544 only chance. Why do I do this? Thursday, July 11 View Page Luna's first one aborted. I hope this takes? or may be I shouldn't put a 500+ lbs pumpkin on top of a wall <]:) Thursday, July 11 View Page Hmmmm maybe I should rethink where I let her grow. But the heat is coming and the chances are getting very slim. Thursday, July 11 View Page dunn is growing faster then the 1544 Thursday, July 11 View Page 1544 looks great But the heat has slowed the main. so I don't think I'll get any more chances. Thursday, July 11 View Page Starr is a fighter. I had to turn the vine for another chance at a set. Thursday, July 11 View Page 1131 This plant is grown mostly on grass, and has had the least heat damage. I didn't even bury the vines. Thursday, July 11 View Page it has one going. and one on the way Thursday, July 11 View Page I almost forgot the bucket boy. he's even got one going. even thou he's getting smashed. maybe all the splashing will help. Saturday, July 13 View Page Found mr. Bill's brother in the patch today. I could of made a man size version. what happen to my nice crumbly soil really could use some advice. I really do need a mentor. this is what i accomplish on my own. Saturday, July 13 View Page is it dead or alive it hasn't grown in 2 days. the first one aborted.

This plant got all the same amendments and water. Sunday, July 14 View Page first large tomato Jet star. I'm shocked it took this long. This years cold spring must have all the plants behind by 2 weeks behind. The pumpkin are behind too. Sunday, July 14 View Page it was going so good Sunday, July 14 View Page I gave it the lions share over the 1775. Sunday, July 14 View Page Yellow vine disease. I guess if it was easy everyone would be doing it. Sunday, July 14 View Page The lord gives and the lord takes away. I will still praise the father. Sunday, July 14 View Page Now I'll sleep:) To bad there will be one less pumpkin making smiles this year. Sunday, July 14 View Page may have the same problem with the 1131 some of the tips are straight and not looped. Just took a measurement on the kin to see if its growing. Sunday, July 14 View Page Funny thing is this has been a year with the lowest bug presser I ever seen. I haven't even seen a cuk beetle.
