Today's Harvest and more in the Chute

amideutch · August 4, 2009

While spraying my plants this morning I was pleasantly surprise to find these ready for picking which I did. First picture top-Belmonte, middle row Amazon Chocolate, bottom left Ashleigh (425gr.) bottom Right Roger's Best Black.
Second photo is Rogers Best Black showing it's stuff.
Third and forth are Black from Tula PL and this plant is pumping them out.
Fifth is Kang Bing which has clusters like these all over the plant.
Sixth picture is Sun Sugar doing it's thing.
Picture number seven is Sweet Dreams F3.

Ahhhhhh, the wonderful things a little sun can do. You're looking very green and I see sunshine in those pictures. Has the gloom past on by for this year????

I'd also like to say that my Golden Cherokee is full of LARGE toms. A couple of which will come in tomorrow.

Ted, no such luck in Germany. But the Sun God did give us a reprieve for this week and then the rain will be back this weekend. I just finished spraying my plants for the second time this week and we will see. GC has turned into a real good mater. I've got some lunkers in the patch which will hopefully turn in the next couple of weeks. Will find out how my surrogate is doing at work as I'm on vacation since Friday and will do a drive by tomorrow early in the AM. Ami

Hey, according to the experts (Television weather folks), this is all a result of no sunspot activity. Now they say that El Nino is back. Maybe its mother EARTH itself groaning at us. We really don't treat the lady very nicely.

Anyhow, Ami, if you need some tips on growing in the shade, I have a bit of experience there. Of course, my temps here are significantly above yours.

We had perfect tomato weather and then it rained for two weeks and now the humidity is off the scale and the temps are in the lower to mid 90's. Ahhhhh......... "HOT-LANTA".

Watch for pics of the latest GC's.

They all look great but that Rogers Best Black looks especially tasty. Can you describe it in full detail so I can taste it in my head? LoL

amideutch · August 6, 2009

Barbee, I'll give you a taste report on the second fruit. Ami

Barbee · August 6, 2009

Good deal Ami. Looking forward to it.
