Greetings all! Safely back home and watching it rain. Both plants have been in their respective homes for the last 2 days (GM in the tent and 5KC in the shed, both since Friday at 1pm) so not an ideal time for flowering plants, especially for the 5KC for what will be at least 3 full days, but whatcha gonna do? Also, the RH in the house is 78% and it's probably even higher in the shed. Maybe I can borrow the Captain's dehuey.
During a break in the rain this morning I mixed nutes for both and watered them, and I'm glad I got it done when I did since it's coming down harder since then. But so far not very windy...just another rainy December day.
The drive up was uneventful, as was dropping off my son at his new dorm. The drive home last night got a bit dicey having nothing to do with the hurricane. We hit a few serious thunderstorms on the way back (around 9pm) where I had the windshield wipers on high and needed to lean over the steering wheel to see the lane markers on a 2-lane road with a 65mph speed limit. Needless to say I was doing about 40 for those stretches. Probably the heaviest storm I had to drive in since the 1980s. On the plus side there wasn't any heavy traffic and we got back at midnight.
Oof on England losing to Spain but damn, Spain deserved it!
I'll catch up around the site but I did want to report in. Thanks for your concern!
I can only drive like me, which isn't too bad.
I'm looking forward to seeing what you built and how it's going, so get those pics up!
Thank you Otter, I passed that along to him before we left.
Thanks marcus!
Those look like bushes to me, but nice size! Were they from seed or grafted? From seed lemons can take 6-7 years to bear fruit. Luckily my lime was a cutting from a full-sized fruiting tree, so I'm hoping for fruit in about a year.
WTF?
By the way, we passed an 18-wheeler with WTF carved into the bars on the back of the cab, but on the door you can see they were lazy and it said "Watch This Freight." That's the best they could come up with? Working the Freeways, Writing the Future (of trucking), anything else would probably have been better!
Good idea if you have limited space, but I have six mature lemon trees so I'm good!
Nick's got you ↓
@Weaselcracker did a 4-way graft
here!
Thank you dynamo, and I hope you're unaffected by the fires up by you.
I need a fix of garlic harvest photos if you have any yet!
Mostly smooth but back safely.
Thanks BL, and maybe I'll try capsules in the morning (since I already have them), but they definitely weren't helpful for my sleep, with or without CBD.
I believe I got that from
@Amy Gardner a few years ago, who found it more helpful to have separate bottles applied about 10 minutes apart (CBD first). It works for us, but you should stick with what's working for you!
I know right? I hope they don't rot with the humidity.
Might help with the yellowing lowers since it did with mine. Give it a go, and props to
@CaptainLucky for passing along Bill's advice.
So far it's just like a warm summer rain, which certainly is unheard of here!
