There's a Trainwreck in my Backyard!

[420_Osborn]

So I know I'm late to the party...But I'm just hoping I'm not too late.

With the grow in my apartment being shut down indefinitely, I decided to move a Trainwreck thats about a foot tall outside.

The spot is next to a creek and it doesnt flood. I'll be wrapping the area with chicken wire as to keep pests out.

I'm digging up the native dirt and mixing in some Natural & Organic soil that I had left over.

It's not truly in MY backyard but I'll be close enough to check on her everyday!

Did I miss anything, besides the pics?

She'll be going out tomorrow. Oh BTW, I'm in the PNW around 47*N Latitude.

Planted her today!

She got 26 gallons of soil put in a huge hole that I dug. Sun from 9am to 4pm and then 6pm to sunset...

I like 25# fishing line better than chicken wire(string 3 levels around nearby trees).....it keeps the deer out, without being seen so easily. If the girls are big enough, the little critters won't hurt em.

Go in & out of the spot...a different way each time, or else a path will be worn in soon....specially with the lack of rain & high heat.

OSG, I'll keep ya posted. It rained like hell this morning. That would happen the day after I put her out there I have my hopes that the rain will be good for her.

BB, There was some metal "fencing" laying on the property, its not exactly chicken wire, more like just a chunk of some old fencing. I wrapped that around the "plot" and wove the natural foliage through it. I was about 10 feet from the fence and when walking past it I couldnt even see the fence, not to mention the plant. She's only about a foot tall but she's got a few major nodes from being LST'd and topped while inside. I'm not worried about wearing a path to the plant because she's in a secure location.

That is fun Ozo. I hope she is very happy. I love the TW. Looks like you did a great job. Have you moved yet??

 

[420_Osborn]

Nope...Still looking for a place...

 

[Rosebud]

SUBBED!

25 Gallons, wow. Nice preparation as well, shes lookin very healthy :aok:
-That close to the creek as well, would the soil absorb any of that water?

 

[420_Osborn]

I want to think that it is absorbing water because she only needs it about once a week....But I dont know for sure.

I forgot to bring my camera when I went out...

Plant looks good, very healthy...The dumb dog at the house broke a main branch...he dug around the cage and got into the pen...literally seconds before I got to the patch.

Oh well...shouldnt be too bad.

 

[420_Osborn]

Alright here are some pics...Still not flowering.

She's dead :angry:

Guy's dog knocked the surrounding fence onto her and she never healed up right....

 

[Rosebud]

Oso, that sucks so bad. I am sorry too.
