@med-man Everything is coming together so nicely in your garden 🤩 Are those loud skunks original RKS?
I've sourced a few different "skunks" from a few Hotspots like cali, vancouver island and Mexico.

I also have a few couple promising crosses of my own, and more to make 😉

It's all about the ride, destinations come when they come

Alots has always been going on in my life away from cannabis.

Medicine to me isn't a substance but a lifestyle or way of life.

I figured I would start a new thread to give a bit more intimate view of what's going on in my universe

I've grown this mapacho, for quite some time now. Not only is strong tobacco a great smudge, companion plant plus bees love it as a years end flower and is great for ceremonial use. We can get to that later....

I was gifted these seeds back around 2011. And have been making seeds ever since. Gifting seeds to anyone who wants them.

The wife and I both have always loved all poppies. I've always taken a liking to the "gigantic" versions 😀 very very cool.

I still have some survivors but the dampen off easy when young. The cloth breathes a bit but forms dew every night and morning for perpetual watering not the ideal scenario for them. I may direct sow with the transplants, and hope they just start coming back naturally / annually on their own in they patch

Well. They prob could have gone a bit longer but it was another great day for planting.

I always leave the smallest ones behind to catch up / back up just in case stars don't align with transplant shock

After a few days minus the harden off cloth they really took off so good time to catch that wave.

Tobacco seeds are so small they are surface starters like poppies I've found. So they don't have the deepest most generating roots when they are young

Found a few lush spots, some mediums and sand. Let's see how he does. A little intuitive planting

Shallow roots mean they are quite easy to peel off this tobacco turf

- always sow/grow more then you need
- always planting extras together to compete/insure fruition
- prep for the worst, pray for the best

It is a winter squash and grows long vines that produce heavy yields. We like to eat it as a summer squash so I plant them around May because they are so juicy and succulent early on in the season. As winter squash they are very tasty and we use them to make tortillas 😋
How do they change from summer winter?

When the fruit is young (usually during summer) its skin is thin and the flesh is soft, just like a zucchini or typical “summer squash”. This applies to all pumpkins also known as “winter squash”. When autumn comes the skin on the squash is usually thick and hard (rind) and the flesh is hard like a sweet potato. Same fruit different applications 😁

Bed building and priming

Hot days are on the horizon. I would rather be planting / watering vs any more renos on the slope. The heat is on lol

We already laid 2 inches of fish compost last spring. Cover up some old garden stalks

2 beds 1 path works for me.

Macho mapacho 0 transplant shock so far.

The greenhouse is steady 80 on the ground so the extras are thriving too.

We inherited a wicked oregano to. If it can find out of the way places to go, we don't touch it.

Figs starting to sprout. Walking onions, horseradish and a couple cherry trees

Going to be pretty hot from now on.

The microclimate in the garden "felt like" almost 110 in the sun. 80 in the shade. Mulch is key for retention / evaporation. Protection for small plants too

Going to hammer out the bottom row this week. Hopefully tommorrow. Did a fast mulch today and a bit more Macho mapacho transplanting

Gotta a km of hemp twine last year. Does the trick. Dirt cheap too.

The hydroponic transplants aren't stopping. Already topped the cilantro few days ago for a dish we made and they have exploded

I've found that once the rotosstart blooming its safe to avoid frost.

June's in most parts of Canada can have very heavy rains in June so I am hoping that smaller plants get to take well to the soil before anything torrential manages to sneak up

I really good friend of mine bought here a month before we do unbenounced to us.

We finally got a look at his property and found this: an Arbutus being grown around by a Douglas fir

Built another bed today. Shored up both side with stones to reinforce both retaining walls and the bed.

20240510_144018.jpg
now that's it getting scorching during the days, I'm in the most at the moment shaded area. Always have to think ahead. 30C in the shade up here.

Enough hebrew hay to cover this one from killing the grass last year. Straw is much preferred to any type of plastic.

Bed building, bed priming, repeat, first sun burn today. I may be able to get a few done next week

Mulched during the hottest part of the day. The jungle feels 20 degrees or more cooler in the shade

Ive gotta clean out the stove and collect for ash. Last seasons is almost all spread out
