Hello brother and congratulations on being nominated! You've got me beat I'm sure! You're better looking and you had 'bi' girls hanging around your place and you know how the guys like those! You also live in Colorado! All of these are major major factors in the competition. Oh ya, yours also very very knowledgeable in many areas that pertain to this site!
If you mean carrying the ones I'm growing now down the spiral staircase and then through the living room out to the porch, not going to happen!LOL I can just see me getting a back spasm on the way down the stairs carrying Big Girl! Not a pretty site when she hits the floor! If your talking about the outdoor grow, haven't done anything yet (we're still having below freezing temps at night lately. I keep checking the ten day forecasts so I'll be on it.
The wife gave me a scare two nights ago. I was just starting to explain to her how I may be able to conceal the plants (on the porch) by making a 'fake' storage shed type enclosure (maybe four feet high). But she stopped me in mid sentence and blew my mind with this..... "I thought you were going to put the plants that are upstairs, outside and finish them there so you can stop growing inside!"....I'm like WTF (I don't swear around her so it was just for effect here). I said that 'no that's not what I told you. First of all you gave me permission to grow out there (I even mentioned it here on the thread). I went on and said, "I mentioned a couple of weeks ago that I would prefer (not really) to grow in the ground, but experience has taught me that we have to many bugs and stuff (true) because of all the thick vegetation around here. You told me, 'why don't I just grow on the porch like you always do?'" Now she denies saying this at all. Can you believe it! Well let it be said. I do a lot of things for the wife. And I do them because I love her. But when it comes to growing outside. No quarter allowed! Uh uh! I told her she got her stories mixed up somehow and you can't be changing them on a whim! So she says, " You'll be growing them out there anyway whether I like it or not, so why even ask?" Ugh! Last night I smoothed things over a bit. I told her that had she just let me talk the other night, she would have learned that I was going to relieve some of her paranoia by doing the following:
OK the plan continues about the 'fake storage shed'
It would be in the primo spot (most hours of direct sun) on the deck and would have an open top. I would have a roof for it in case we get visitors. It would look like a small storage shed and it would have a padlock attached so it looks locked. Normally it would be open to the sky and the pots would be elevated. When need be, I'd put the pots on the floor and just close the lid. It would look just like a DIY shed and locked!
She has mellowed out since this was explained to her! We'll see, things change in her mind very often! Makes me crazy sometimes
