2023 Outdoor Plants Only Show & Tell

[Rwise]

When I plant sunflowers they do the same as yours, multiple heads instead of one big ass head, the birds still enjoyed them! Getting more tomatoes than I can use beans almost done from the heat, and the melons are about to ripen.

I am interested in sunflowers. Have had some grow from bird seed but when I look for seeds there are so many choices I don't know what to pick. Maybe I should nick some off the corners of the farmer's grow. (I think the Bible says that's okay.) Also am so very jealous of your wagon. If I had that I might put mine out in the morning and back in at night. I appreciated your thoughts on how big a container you can move and is the main reason I went with 10 gallon pots. Sure, I can move larger/heavier but it hurts. Your grow look great. Nothing but my basil is ready to use.

I think it's only gonna be in the high 80s then jump up later in the week. So I took advantage of cool morning to shoot some pics. I tell ya you folks with good camara phones show the frost on those budding plants. May have to click an blow up mine. First pic is Grape auto really frosty 2nd are the wagonettes of autos all plumping up enjoying the sun. It's taken these as long to finish outdoor as it would of been to complete a photoperiod indoor LOL but i started them too soon directly seeded outdoors that slowed them down greatly.

3-4pic is that dern Freakshow she's growing tall as my other photos close to 4ft + she's loving it 5 & 6 pic just a general shot of the gals with the tallest being my dutch dope & mystery bag seed fems. They are nearing 6ft pleased if they quit and started flowering but they are'nt slowing down and there only in 15gal cause that's all i can physically move if needed. pic 7 is just another hidden gem still unsure of it's sex but i could'nt kill it but i will if it's a boy. I broke off the center cola but it's still flourishing LOL

Take care all and stay healthy to enjoy the great outdoors. Ohhh i'm picking beans an a few tomatoes.

I am watching all those record highs this week, like 118*F! Thats hot with or without humidity! 10AM and its already AC time! Just wait for next month

[SoOrbudgal]

Now that's uncomfortable with the humidity.

[Rwise]

My turn for 90's, but I get high humidity with it.

[SoOrbudgal]

I'll post some of my outdoor tomorrow i did'nt realize it's been nearly 2wks since last update. Anyhoo my autos are flowering great and the photos are healthy no sign of flowering yet. It's 90f here crazy hot to me, dry like straw. Windy i was away for couple days camping and had to come back early do to heat.

While I have a connection, some fresh pics! Setting here without internet I got bored, checked the trics on some of those bigger buds, in the window all white a few amber heavy rain coming. They are drying now, early taste is berry. The Scarlet's gave 11 quarts tween them.

[Rwise]

WTF? They cant do this can they? This new growth its below where the baby leaves were!

Day 51, day 18 outside.

It is still raining. Had 3 days of sun, heat, humidity, now just rain and humidity. They have greened up a little. I think they have finally accepted their future of being outside.

[90Gizmo]

Very pretty

Fingers crossed.

Took down the scarlet sunset yesterday. Tired of fighting off the wpm. Also worried about bud rot. Had an inside bud look a little suspect. All cloudy with just a few amber. Started pushing out a few new pistils. Wish I could have gone longer. Day 86. Probably get 3 oz from her. Really colorful. 3 inches of rain last night, more today. Guess this is payback for the perfect fall weather last year. Also harvested the garlic.

OkThanks Ckbrew I hope that the plants growing too big is my worst problem. I'm thinking I can hang a scrog-like screen across the top if I need to and train them through it. For now I turn the plants every day and do a casual look for bugs. I've seen one ant, I guess they aren't interested. And I've found one leaf bottom that had a white-sparkling area. I haven't been able to identify it. I cut that leaf off and tossed it. The screen mesh door will keep out larger flyers but I have to open it during the day because air flow is not good enough through the screen mesh. I close the door at dusk to keep the larger critters out over night.

But it's only been two weeks. To soon for a review but my gut feeling is that the greenhouse helps a lot.

[Ckbrew]

At this rate they will outgrow your setup. Does that keep out the bugs?
