Hey Guys -

You are a bit mixed up on your dates..... If you read my post above you will see that I put seeds in soil on May 1st. The photos of the 2" & 3" plants were taked on May 21st (Three weeks after the seeds went in soil....) The next set of photos (bigger plants) in the above post were taken on June 25th -- That is 35 days which is 5 weeks not 3 weeks that the plants grew from 3 inches tall to the size they are now. And the plants are not 3 feet tall yet... (I hope they will be by early next week!) They are in the range of 22 to 28 inches which is shy of 3 feet by between 8 and 14 inches! (12 inches = 1 foot -- for those of you who use the metric system!)

So if you read thru the post and look at the pictures and do some math you will see that I planted seeds 55 days ago and now have plants that are about 2 feet tall. Does not everyone else get this type of growth outdoors with lots of sun, right amount of water and food and care for the plants???

Hey OPT!KAL -

I have only had problems with slugs & snails in the past years and this year because it is so dry there are not many of these around. I live in an area where there is lots of green stuff growing. (Ferns, raspberry & blackberry bushes, all sorts green hardwood trees like (maple, birch, oak, beach, & apple) and tons of other green plants/bushes/trees/flowers that I don't even know what they are called!

If you live and grow in a dry place where most of the wild plant life turn brown & dries out -- deer and other grazing animals will go after your green lush pot plants -- but if there is lots of green stuff around they are not going to come looking for your pot plants! (as a matter of fact animals like deer will steer clear of plants they do not know!) They will only eat things that they are familar with..... So unless there is lots of pot growing in your area they have never tasted it before and will eat something that they know instead of a plant they have never tasted!

I did have some trouble with either skunks or racoons. They were digging up my plants and I could not figure out why..... Then it came to me..... The LAND & SEA COMPOST that I use has lobster, clam & mussel shells ground up in it and they were digging after what smells like rotting fish. A few of my plants were dug up and they died. A few where dug up and I was able to replant them and they made it.... Now that that soil has been out there a while the smell must have mellowed out because I have not had any problems in about 10 days.

Hey Everyone -

What a day I had!!! I am going out of town for a few days (6 of them) and had to do some big time water and feeding of my plants before I left so that they would be OK without care for a week..... It has been very dry here in Maine and with no real rain in the forcast-- so I thought I should give my plants a wicked big water before I leave..... Needless to say it made for a long day! 90 gallons of water with fert today!! I am worn out! I wet every plant down big time and hope that they hold enough until I get back. I did not get out of the woods until 9pm tonight...... (Do you have any idea how dark it is in the woods of Maine at 9pm??) ---> WAY TO DARK!!

Anyway --

Off to travel for a week.... I will check in here when I get back home! Everyone take care!

BLACK ! you are definately doing great and I look forward to future posts and who knows maybe you will share some of your yeild with a fellow new englander .

Hey Everyone -

I made it out to Colorado yesterday after a travel day from hell.... (Left Maine at 2:30am drove to Manchester NH to catch a 6:30am flight - Flew to Chicago then Denver arrived got my rental car and drove straight to RED ROCKS to see John Butler Trio open for Michael Franti & Spearhead. All I can say is WOW!! I have seen 8 other shows over the years at Red Rocks but this was the most awesome night! Full moon in the sky, 72 degrees at 9pm, fireworks going off above and behind the band during encore, several members of String Cheese Incident sat in during the show and 10,000 people all totally into what I would have to say was the best show I have ever seen! I was in row 28 center stage and you could see the show perfectly but what makes Red Rocks the best outdoor venue in the world is the sound!! Crystal clear and perfect acoustics! It could not have been any better!!





I am up in the mountains of Colorado to visit with some friend that I usually only get to see in the winter months and to do a couple days of mtn biking. Then back down to see another show at Red Rocks on July 4th. (3 days from now!) -- Blues Traveler!! I can't wait! I will then fly back to New England on July 6th..... (I will need some rest time after my vacation when I get home!)
