Second WB coming along nicely, now that the sun has stayed out for a couple days ...

but starting tomorrow its to start raining again for a few days.....

I want to at least get the sand in this one... for a couple reasons...

to help stabilize the crates and to eliminate the mosquito hotel it would be ....

more rain....

we haven't had this much rain in years...... cant complain I guess....

second bed is finished... starting on the third..... guess this will be the last one, due to funds...

goal is to completely cover my existing dirt garden with wicking beds.... so it will take about 15-18 total...

Thanks DuiNui

I added some mushroom compost to the second WB to see how it does against the first one..

the sun came out for about an hour today.... so got my fall seeds together and got the second WB planted out..

cant wait to see how it goes... the first bed is doing good...

The only problem I see with the giant jalapeño is that I would make too many jalapeño poppers! My waistline would complain!

That did male me think of a cruel joke... Make a bunch of jalapeño poppers, and one ghost pepper popper to give to an unsuspecting victim. "What do you mean 'it's too hot,' I've had five, quit complaining!"

Only dangerous if you forgot which one was the ghost pepper, and ate it yourself...

If invited to RM's place bring a taste tester or make him cut all snacks in half and eat his part before you eat yours. Oh yeah, leave wallet at home as he is obviously a pirate. :headbang:

Crew eat fish, then you need more fish, then you need more rock washers so you can grow more fish, then you need more crew to control the rock washers who you must starve so that you don't need more rockwashers (cause they eat fish too) - suddenly everyone looks like a rockwasher, a crewman or a fish....probably better to be a pirate with a ship than one with an AP setup. :lol:
