Hi phoenix,
That box does make it a whole lot trickier to maneuver through the woods, I'm glad I don't have to do that again, haha. Thanks for stopping in.
Hi Joe,
I've taken care of the deer actually, but rabbits are still munching off a branch or leaf here and there. I patched up the fence and they haven't been able to get back in since. I like to use the natural fence, which physically stops them from getting to the plant, since in the past no store bought or home brew deterrent has ever stopped them, even in combination. In the fall when food is scarce they don't care what it smells like. The picnic basket is a great idea, I'll definitely use one next year.
Now time for an update, plants are starting to get big.
1-Early Pearl Skunk x Haze, this is one of the two that survived the initial planting, so they have been outside for 3 weeks longer than the test beans, topped, getting bushy.
2-Early Pearl Skunk x Haze, this is the other of the initial survivors, not topped, getting very big.
3-A female preflower on the plant in pic #2, good news. This is on the first set of nodes that ares showing alternating branching, the tenth from the soil line. They were also showing on the plant in pic #1, so more good news.
4-6 The test beans, Early Haze, looking very good so far. Can't really see any definite signs of genders, yet.
It just started raining here, they needed it. I top dressed with more Blood/Bone/Compost. As far as I can see, the bigger plants have just ran out of available Nitrogen, and I will need to give them some form of instant N here in the next few days to hold them of until the blood meal is available.
See you all around.
