Beans for everyone (Part 5)

No prob. buddy, those look great. Good job! I’m glad they worked out well in your jungle.
Mine took a beating this year; I think I’m gonna have to lime & cover crop for a year & let things recharge. Its been a while since I gave it a rest. The squash bug population needs to starve for a season at least too. I ended up w/ enough to eat though. :+1:

Tried growing an acre of pumkins last year to sell by the road, Things looked great, until they didn’t… Damn Squash Bugs ate the plot… Think I was able to get 10 max from that time waste…

I learned Marigolds repell the bugs and planted a ton in the veg garden… All squash, cukes, pumkins ect… this year no problems go figure…

Thanks, I may give that a shot. I have loads of marigold seeds. They’d shade out some weeds too.

Best thing to do ask Google… I’m too tech illiterate to post a pic from this phone…

short answer, marigolds are flowers. I put one right next to each plant base and solid rows, I was on a mission to never see those squash bugs ever again…

You can spray pyrethrin on the bases when you plant and again when they are flowering.Problem solved. Its an organic poison made from Chrysanthemums.

Is the vacuum seal for long term storage? Do you freeze or refrigerate once they are sealed?

So @THCeed can hang the bags up in his studio like the meat to Rocky. Once he’s done punching the bags they go into the concrete mixer for hash town!

Big thanks going out to some Growmies.

I won the Skywalker Haze beans, 10 fem.
And no info who the bottom pack is from.

My Heime Cheeba 14 footer is barely flowering, it is a clone from the much smaller mother.


This is the mother and another clone. Much further along.



I managed to upright the Purple Paralyzed Freak somewhat. When I did, she grabbed a hold of the ladder in some mad death grip.
