Fellow Farmers,
It has been a long road, learning how to grow.
One of my stupidest mistakes: upon planting, growing and harvesting my first seedless crop...
I rolled a joint and almost all the way through it realized that I will have to plant seeds and wait 5-6 months till they grew to maturity and I only had 2 1/2 oz! Whereas if I had planted seeds and grown another batch of plants 2-3 months ago... I would have big plants ready to go int flowering right now!
I learned the hard way.
A very good way to learn but for the waste in man hours and materials.
But thats why it is said to be the 'hard way'.
Then there was the disastrous trip back in the 70's, parking two cars seven miles apart and canoeing for 3 hours between the cars to 'our place'. We got out and planted seeds sure we would be rewarded with a good harvest. We watered them as much as we could, till it got so hot nothing could live in that heat. Came back in the fall and not one plant made it.
Then on this creek, closer to home but...
We would haul water all summer fighting skeeters, spider webs, sicker vines and heat, sweating our asses off. Hauling water up a steep muddy slope all night.
Work all summer and come back to find they had gone to seed. A bunch of Mexican brick, dirt weed.
The only guy I knew back in the 70's -80's who had a successful crop had one giant plant in his back yard. It was just hidden well and bore an unheard of pound!
Ancient history it seems now.
It was too much work an achieved nothing.
Theres easier ways to get exercise.
Makes me tired thinking about it.
Thank you...
