Outdoor Grandma Roody, and Eek's new Homestead Thread.

Hello Everybody, all is well here, have a few projects completed, and ToDo's. We are pushing for some vegetables right now, trying to get them in the ground before it's too late. I will let Root talk more on that.

This is what is going on in the growhouse...

The garden is growing!
I was looking at our past posts, to see where we left off on pictures, and this is what it looked like 1 month ago.

And today

The peppers. We have green and multi color bells and red hot cherry peppers

1 jalapeno pepper

The tomatoes.

Zucchini.

Yellow squash newly transplanted

Corn

Cucucumbers

Watermelon

Our one and only pear is getting bigger too.

We use a lot of diatomaceous earth in the garden. The weeds got ahead of me and as I pulled them, lots of squash bugs came crawling out. A little DE sprinkled around and we may spray some neem oil one night.

We ate our first garden harvest last night.

It was soooo yummy!
With more coming

The watermelon and cucumber are growing wild

Pumpkins ready to transplant into the garden

It's hard to get a smoke break when the boss is always watching!

Thanks Senorstony, it's a lot of work, but definitely worth the pay off. Oh, and welcome to the Homestead.

Hello all, I hope things are going well for everyone. We have been busy the last two weeks. I will try to get into all of it.

Firstly, the colloidal silver project I was working on, I have given up on. I thing the plants were sexually mature when I started, but not budding yet. However it went right into bud as soon as I flipped to 12/12. Spraying the silver ions everyday just like the guy on Youtube I still haven't seen the man-parts develop. So three days ago I stopped spraying. I don't want to waste the silver. I will try this on another plant, next round.
So, this means I have lost my strain. My last chance to save it was the colloidal silver. I am going to try to add a little pollen we have stored from the Lambsbread last summer. The genetics lost will at least go into something, if it works. So I am wondering if the silver will alter the m/f ratios, just a thought.

I also have, if I haven't mentioned it, I am doing some testing for @HarvestGoldSilica and I thought I would show you a few pictures of that.
