Your quick that’s the advantage of having the bed already made
That is a lot of work Chunky, looks great! Some "above top shelf" coming out of those plots fo sho.
Anything new you enjoy puffing on these days?

well waiting for things to dry up isn't working out like I hoped.

It’s a good thing you got them mounded up a bit…here’s prayin for some more sun
I got sun and smoke today...
gotta take my pump and battery down there and pump it out, it takes a week or so for it all to perk down usually, was still really wet yesterday too.
mounds are key but I neeed to remember to plow a drain channel to the creek next season and design that into the layout of bed 3 and 4...
the wettest part of bed 3 needs soil brought in
I'm going to murder a shit ton of clones now that didn't get used in my never beginning light dep fantasy...
too wet to work up new plots here and I don't feel very motivated lately. worried this smoke will spoil the crop if the rain doesn't.
on the bright side I'm glad I've been working off site on others farms now and the new mounds are draining well and the starts are growing good at my homie's legal 12-ish.

wow that's a lot of water to deal with
I remember a few years back some similar flooding was fuckin with your program.
So nice to have a water source like that but crazy how fast too much water becomes a problem.
I wonder..... if you trenched down the middle between your mounds and laid in some smooth drain rock and Big O pipe that ends down stream, your drainage might drastically improve while not affecting the moisture levels the mounds require. Some work but it might be something to consider.

I hope you’re getting a piece of that
Go ahead and get your drainage channels cut, you just need a little groove for the water to go. Make sure it has a slight grade to it so the water moves.
I have to dig these channels to move water away from the edge of the garden. Puddling water is really bad for the plants and will KILL roots, and eventually kill the plants.
A better option in my opinion especially on wet years like this is make the garden one big mound, like mine is, so the water moves off the garden. Those areas in between the small mounds are still utilized by the roots, so it would be better if it was drained too. Channels will draw water and possibly choke out roots instead of having a one big broad mound garden where roots can roam free. More roots more flower!

doubt I will need any, it's a teaching thing, just trying to train the next generation...
looking good over there a week ago.
plus I get dog play.
I'll survive, cut me some drains.
Bed 1 is finally growing nice.
me too, create new beds. was a shitty week for it tho, crazy hot.I know a way to keep you from murdering your best clones…
-DD
got 8 plants in tonight before dark, room for 20 or so.
it's up out of flood range and should work nice, will have the best morning sun of any of my plots.
enjoying the fruits of last years labor...
past week was full of suck here, massive flood taking out plants in beds 3 and 4, those 2 beds will have trouble if it stays this wet.
I put a few of the plants back into the muck and they are still alive...

Bed 1 is growing hard now in spite of all the water, I think it will fill up nice.
bed 5 is starting to come out of transplant shock, hillside shed the rain well.
