GARDEN UPDATE, AND GREEN HOUSE, NOV.26th, 28th, AND 29th 2011

HAPPY NEW YEAR,
I AM GLAD TO SAY I BUILT A GREEN HOUSE THAT ONLY TOOK AN HOUR. AND THE SUCCESS OF THE GREEN HOUSE HAS BEEN SPECTACULAR.
I'VE BEEN PRETTY BUSY SO THIS FOOTAGE JUST GOT PUSHED BEHIND ABOUT A MONTH IN EDITING. BUT THE GARDEN IS ACTUALLY GROWING, AND DOING FINE. THIS MAKES ME PRETTY EXCITED. MAINLY BECAUSE I AM NOT AN EXPERT GARDENER. IN FACT LAST YEAR WAS MOSTLY TRAINING AND FAILURE. BUT THIS YEAR IS ACTUALLY DOING PRETTY GOOD. I GET AT LEAST 4 TO 5 TOMATOES A DAY, AND MANY MORE BUDDING. AND SEEING AS MOST PEOPLES GARDENS ARE OVER NOW, I AM PROUD TO SAY MINE IS STILL PRODUCING. THE GARDEN IS SMALL AND NOT IN THE GROUND BECAUSE THERE IS ONLY 1 INCH OF DIRT HERE ( NOT SOIL) AND THEN THERE IS SOLID ROCK UNDER THAT. SO THE BUCKETS ARE THE SOLUTION HERE. AND IT IS SO NICE IN FACT, THAT I CAN MOVE THE PLANTS AROUND. SO BUILDING A GREEN HOUSE WAS VERY EASY. IT TOOK ABOUT AN HOUR AFTER MOVING THE PLANTS TO WHERE I WANTED THEM.
BYE THE WAY.... HAPPY NEW YEAR, AND I WISH THE BEST FOR ALL OF YA'LL. KEEP SMILING AND HAVE A BALL. GOD BLESS YA'LL.

Hi Muddy,

You may have seen this or something similar already, but have a look at the monkeysee website and search for 'how to build a greenhouse'. Could give you some ideas for yours. Keep up the good work. You might like to think about hydroponics or even aquaponics, growing without soil. Good luck.

@McCnutty GREAT COMMENT,

I'LL DEFINITELY CHECK THE MONKEYSEE SITE. HYDROPONICS IS ALREADY A GREAT INTEREST OF MINE. I EVEN BOUGHT A FISH AIR PUMP FOR EXPERIMENTS. I'M KINDA LOOKING FOR NON STORE BOUGHT NUTRIENTS, AS SOMEDAY THEY MIGHT NOT BE AVAILABLE. THANKS FOR THE KNOWLEDGE SOURCE.

Bucket garden are looking great. I am still expimenting and growing herbs to distillls Natural Perfume. Great job!

@virlusun THANKS, I KNOW THEY ARE LOOKING A BIT UNDER THE WEATHER, BUT THEY ARE SURVIVING AND PRODUCING.

MELISSA IS INTERESTED IN THE DISTILLED PERFUME OILS.

Hey Scott.

The garden looks great.. Just amazing how well those plants grew after seeing them through out the year. I guess I should have came up to visit in November...hehe. I guess now I'm might grow some maters myself..........

[muddymuddymuddmann]

@cluggy619 HEY JIM,

I WAS JUST THINKING ABOUT YOU LAST WEEK AND TODAY.

MATERS ARE EASY. I GOT SOME STARTER BABIES IN THE KITCHEN WINDOW. THEY ARE 5 INCHES TALL AND GAINING ABOUT 1/2 INCH A DAY. THEY HAVE SOME FAT LEAVES ON THEM TOO.

HAPPY NEW YEAR.

KEEP WARM.

@muddymuddymuddmann Cool, the ideal colour is Translucent Green. , y'see...; bounce away what the Plants don't need, but let the Red & Infra-Red plus the Blue to Ultra-Violet go through, to the leaves, unhindered. Um, today I'm working on a Framing-Aid for the Head-Cam. Poly-Carbonate supported Wire Gratticule... It'll be good if it works !

Ciao !

@WarblesOnALot MAYBE I SHOULD JUST COVER IT IN PURPLE. LOL.

I'M GLAD TO HEAR ABOUT THE BOOMERANG CARVING SOMEWHERE IN THE FUTURE VIDs. AND ABOUT THE THROWING SKILLS OUTLINED AND DEMONSTRATED AS WELL. BUG-OUTERS WILL BE ELATED. I'M INTERESTED IN THE FINE ART AND SKILL OF THE PERFECT DESIGN. I FIND THE BOOMERANG A FASCINATING STUDY. TRULY INTRIGUING TO SAY THE LEAST. THE ART OF THEIR USE KEEPS ME JUST AS CURIOUS.

TAKE YOUR TIME GETTING TO IT. I'LL BE AROUND.

@tectalabyss THANKS, I THOUGHT THIS ONE TO BE A BIT LESS THAN MOST. I GUESS IT HAS TO DO WITH THE SUBJECT AND AUDIENCE. ALTHOUGH THE BUILDING OF THE GREEN HOUSE WAS A BIT FASTER AND SIMPLER THAN I HAD IMAGINED. I AM HAPPY THAT IT HAS ALLOWED ME TO KEEP THEM UP AND GROWING. THE YEAR BEFORE TAUGHT ME A LOT, BUT I DIDN'T GET MUCH OF A HARVEST. THIS YEAR SEEMS MUCH MORE WORTH IT. AND I BELIEVE SOME OF THE PLANTS WILL MAKE IT TO SPRING FOR A NICE HEAD START. I THINK I'M GETTING THE HANG OF IT.

@muddymuddymuddmann Hi Scotty... Um, yes, I've had the Boomerangs on the backburner, both Making & FLying them, for a while, also Pipe-Carving... Now I've worked out a Hillbilly Headcamera, it's like being a Dog in a Cat-Show... Paralysed by Indecision..! Um, the reason Greenhouses are Green, Mate, is that Plants use Red & Blue Light for Chlorophyll Synthesis & Photosynthesis ; but they throw away the Green Wavelengths. Thus, Grow Lights !
