OT: Atten anyone that has done the potato's in the hay!
Immediately after reading of this awesome sounding technique, I went about securing both seed potato's and hay. As per the instructions, I through down half the bale, then tossed the taters, then the other half bale on top. It's been about 3 weeks, and nothing has come up! When I poke around in there, I find long shoot things going all over, but nothing like a shoot has come to the surface.
Here is the need help part. Is the 8 inches of hay on top too much? More? Less? I know that if these were in dirt, they would have sprouted through the surface by now. What gives? Anybody?
Thank you Angel for allowing me to use yer blog for gardening help! lol
I am doing my first garden in years. I quit putting one in about 7 years ago, due to the harsh growing conditions. I'm always at higher elevations (3000-7000ft), and pretty far north, which results in a much reduced growing season.
I"m doing a project that requires me to be where I am for the whole year, so I figured what the hell.
June 1 is average last frost date and Sept 1st is average first fall frost. No that's a challenge!
I think I'll go out in the morning and remove some of that top layer, since you have less on top - and sprouts.
Messed up, HWA? No, no, what you really want is to get some that mellows you out, breaks down your inhibitions, and then get with that special person who is just as mellow......er......sorry, I just drooled all over my keyboard. At least, that is what I hear happens.....
No Boilerdoc, I want to be that messed up, just once. Seriously.
Just follow the instructions below.:)
Phnom Penh, Cambodia http://www.namsouth.com/viewtopic.php?t=202&highlight=cambodia At any rate, on the way to the hotel we thought we should purchase some grass, but had a difficult time finding it until we found a Vietnamese girl in the marketplace who we could speak to in her native language. She promptly showed us some, which was in full view. It was legal there, and the Cambodians use it for a flavoring for some of their soups. When we got to our rooms in the hotel, we proceeded to see how good this "Cambodian Red" really was.......Well, it must have been quite good, as the two of us were unable, after many tries, to come up with the same amount of cash which we were counting in order to tell the hotel clerk how much we had in order to put it into their safe! So, we meekly went to the desk and when the clerk asked us how much we had before he counted it, we said that we had forgotten to, and his count would do. He looked at us very strangely, counted it, then told us the amount, and we said that it was fine!
Afterwards we hailed two cyclos whose drivers turned out to love grass. So they rolled it into big cigars and they would pedal us around as all four of us puffed away!

:) It's almost like an acid trip, it's that strong. The Vietnamese stuff is just fine by me which reminds me of "Park Lanes."
Tet '68 Bien Hoa/Long Binh, RVN http://www.namsouth.com/viewtopic.php?t=19&highlight=park+lanes We used to buy a pack of "Park Lanes" which had been carefully opened at the bottom without damaging the cellophane or wrapper, then removing the 20 cigarettes and emptying them of tobacco. Afterwards 18 were refilled with grass, twisted at the end, reinserted, then sealed at the bottom. We would buy them by the "six pack" which our Vietnamese supplier thought was hilarious! I can still vividly see his smiling face as we would approach with him saying, "Six pack, six pack six pack!" I believe we paid 20 cents US for a single pack.
You want to start a pot farm in your basement?

Timbo, I only did a thin layer, about 4-6 inches. I don't know if the climate is different, we're hot and dry. But I've got shoots up.
ReplyDeleteHeh....reminds me of this guy:
