That being said, our garden kind of sucks this year. Between the weather, husband working a lot and working Saturdays except when we have hiking trips planned. Garden has been ignored. We also tried something with a cover crop this year that I’m not liking. We could have stayed home this weekend and worked on it. Opted for overnight on Old Loggers Path instead🙂 2 Quote
skifreak Posted July 30, 2018 Report Posted July 30, 2018 Got my tomatoes in later than usual but they seem to be doing well. Lots of tomatoes on the vines. Only planted tomatoes and peppers this year. I bought a new John Deere 1025r tractor last summer and have been thinking about getting a rototiller for it. They are expensive but maybe next summer I'll pull the trigger. Quote

Was living there from 2010-2012. Moved back up here to start the dealership and now just use it during the summer. I'm currently saving up to build a place so just pay some money to my mother for rent. Being single and self-employed, I gave up on applying for a mortgage. Lucky I got the mortgage for my condo but I put a lot down. I hardly owe anything on it and was thinking about just selling it to build up here, but it's nice to just go to whenever to the shore.

What did you do for a living down there? Quote

The association bylaws don't allow daily or weekly rentals. I'm fine with that because people would probably trash it anyway. Back then I was selling online misting systems in the summer and home snowmakers, which I still do. I also had a carpet and upholstery cleaning business down there. I had a good relationship with a property manager and always had work. It's a nice place to live but in the off season not many people live there year round, but more people are now that baby boomers are retiring there. There aren't many younger people because it's not cheap to live there. Grocery shopping was always expensive so you'd drive to BJ's or something and just stock up. I usually just ate out or got takeout anyway. Quote

moe ghoul Posted September 4, 2018 Report Posted September 4, 2018 (edited) Heavy rain bands passed through earlier. Went out to check on the garden. 2 mother plants are 10 feet in diameter at the widest and 5 foot tall. Cucumbers and basil are rocking as well. Edited September 4, 2018 by moe ghoul 4 Quote

moe ghoul Posted September 7, 2018 Report Posted September 7, 2018 This is a 3rd generation hybrid I made with pure power plant and a diesel. Got a mexican indica and some durban poison going as well. Hoping I can keep them all outside until harvest. Quote

Yes, it depends on the strain and conditions. Since these are growing el fresco, I need to check bud development and pull the trigger when they look ripe. I'm hoping to start clipping before the end of september. I'm racing against the clock temp wise. When growing indoors and under lights, it's a little more predictable if you are familiar with the strain. Edited September 8, 2018 by moe ghoul 1 1 Quote

momskeeztoo Posted June 10, 2019 Author Report Posted June 10, 2019 Finally planted veggies today. Got the zinnias in last week. Ground finally dried out. Quote
enjoralas Posted June 11, 2019 Report Posted June 11, 2019 Still haven’t put any plants in. Headed out in a bit to drop in the first half dozen. Bought the gallons go grab a head start. Did pull 10 42-gallon contractor bags of weeks (mostly thistles) a couple of weeks ago tho 1 Quote
toast21602 Posted June 11, 2019 Report Posted June 11, 2019 Just cut a bunch of lettuce this evening. Should have enough for lunch salads this week and more coming up and regenerating for the next few weeks. Beets are looking good too. Potatoes are thriving. Looking to be a good garden year so far.
