Bullskinners Redemption 2021: Journal of a Poor Dirt Farmer

Well after hunting those mushrooms I realized I had forgotten about my seeds. I had mushrooms on my brain and had a friend heading back to Texas I sent all the bagged mushrooms with leaving Saturday morning.


I dang near waited to long. But the all look good. I ended up with 100% on the 10 GGDP and the 5 Space needle. I also dropped 10 BC Pinewarp and 8 of them have popped.they have made it in the dirt and most are up

I also received a letter in the mail. I cannot figure out who it’s from. I’ve searched my DMs and still no clue. My memory is shit and I’ve done several trades here lately. I came out of Cali. Anyone recognize these?


I think a few of the seeds may be fine but several are cracked or just destroyed. Not sure of the strain

And the garden is coming to life. I have potatoes and onions coming up. The next month is going to be a busy one. I’ve got a lot of holes to dig in still

Ouch, that hurts to look at bro.

On the upside, your garden is looking good so far.

Thank you Sir, yeah those seed did not fair well, not figured out what strain it is yet, but I’m sure they are something I asked for and I really appreciate whomever sent them, I just hate it when they arrive smashed. I think we need a tutorial on how to ship seed. 2 of my last 5 shipments have had cracked seed and I hate it when good seed get ruined

There is a thread about using coin flips.

Nice and Thanks for posting. I have just switched from vials to coin flips and hose washers. It was over $4.00 to ship the vials in a padded envelope. I can do the coin flips for the price of a stamp.

I would still recommend shipping non machineable. It’s 15 cents more, but piece of mind when the seeds avoid the rollers all together.

Agreed but I really like the idea of just dropping them in the box. In a small town where I live, with the laws in my state I have to keep a low profile…not cause any suspicion. I went to school and am friends with the post master and the guy who does the transaction.

Everything looked great when I saw it. I just like the added protection, and I’m in a legal state. That makes a difference.

I grew up in a small town, I get that.

The JOTI beans are all breaking ground and shedding the helmets. I’m going to run Blackberry Breath, Gods Grand Double Purple and Space Needle outdoors. Plus I have some BC Pinewarp courtesy of@Donnie coming up.


Here are my clones. They are all looking good. I’ve got another 6 Cookieland from @Purple-N-Hairy I’m going to drop. I hope to run it close to home in pots. I think it will probably need to bring the in once they really start to swell due to mold. Then I will be done popping seed until I start the autos.

Hammered the mushrooms agian today, I didn’t take pics yesterday but found about 2/3 a bread sack. Yellows are up good. Rain and 80° Wednesday will probably pop what’s left and it will be over

Thanks @Badger, Hunting the same 1000+ acres for 50 years helps. All of the last mess came off of dead red elms. I cover a lot of ground in the bottoms looking for those dead elms. I literally go from tree to tree hardly looking down between trees. I want those elms that are just starting to slip the bark in the top of the limbs, if it is slipping on the trunk I should have been there last year.
A lot of my early mushrooms came out of set aside fields that where mowed with a brush hog last fall. They where full of small cottonwood trees and I have picked pounds out of those fields. I’m sure that’s why they are there. I never pass a dead cottonwood or a fresh cut stump, sometimes one stump will produce pounds

I did a lot of work Tuesday. Hauled in approximately 250 gallons of aged sheep manure. It is the from cleaning out a barn with about 10 years build up of manure, hay and urine. All pushed into a big pile outdoors. I dug in deep and got the good stuff

That’s gonna grow some good stuff man. I need to find a good source of local, composted manure.

Worked about 20 holes with several more to go. I need to go back to them all and add more organic fertilizer soon and let the animals do their digging before I plant. 20 days from now I can start moving plants out… excited about this year, can’t wait

No doubt. That looks like a nice, secluded spot.
