Right? We have quite a bit of poverty, people can’t buy food. Would be cool to be able to help out. Seeing more and more homeless every day. Could probably work out some sort of temporary work/housing solution for individuals trying to get on their feet in exchange for some work done at said garden. People helping people. Can’t imagine the hoops you’d have to go through to make something like that happen.

We have a small neighborhood “block” type thing going. I grow and do small veggie gardens. Next door grows, has chickens, and does veggies. And same with the next house. If there were room for a couple dairy goats and cows, we’d absolutely have them and would never leave the neighborhood

My shop/office is in a rural location but we do this. Garden is 100’x60’ and mostly maintained by me and my team, but there is a handful of local landowners that help with fertilizers and will spray for bugs etc. Most of them are farmers and run their own gardens too, and we’ll swap stuff or whatever. For whatever reason our cherry tomatoes, cucumbers, and cantaloupe rocked last summer so they were all dropping stuff off and grabbing whatever. One of them called me on Sunday to let me know pretty much entire Garden was cleaned out. Even stuff that wasn’t ripened. Thought it was animals but cameras told a different story. The person who took it all would have been offered anything they wanted if they had asked. We started 4 years ago with 8 plants each of tomatoes and jalapeños, a row of onions, and some cilantro to make salsa and poppers. Now there is full rows of everything, strawberries, asparagus, carrots, banana peppers, watermelon, cantaloupe, zucchini, romaine, and cauliflower.

I agree. That is really cool @dbrn32 yall should be proud of yourselves. The theft is pretty ridiculous, funny enough we had the same thing happen out of our little family garden. Someone always has to mess it up.

@LiesGrows
Chickens are awesome for garden scrap too. Wish we could do it. For the cost of eggs and meat it would totally be worth it.

Have you ever grown Midnight Delight? I saw seeds for a strain called Midnight Delight, immediately thought of that Midnight Snack and right away added it to my cart and i am getting a pack. I’m crossin fingers that it turns out to look anything like that Midnight Snack, or maybe even better looking, who knows?
Idk who knows for sure, but we sure are about to find out :wink::crossed_fingers:

Dude that is awesome. Had no idea!! My limited experience with chickens was on a farm a worked. The biggest take away, is that they are f’n crazy. We had to release a male, and he would sneak back in when we were away and harass the chickens through the chain link cage. He loved to eat the eggs and attack them. The rooster would legit hang out in the woods bordering the property and I swear was watching us. Farmer regretted the release lol

Haha! Same. It’s a very smooth smoke.

I haven’t grown it. Always strive for better man, always. I went through a rut where I was getting irritated with results, not that they were bad quality or anything, but they all looked the same. Figured I topped out. My best results in terms of flower quality has gotten better through simplification, and lucky pheno types. Most of which come to enviornment. I will tell you not all of these plants liked this run but, 808’s really changed my perspective on what’s achievable at home.

Thank you very much!

Y’all are some stiff competition! Lol. By no means do we expect to win, but we try to get involved with ILGM events whenever we can. Most of our ilgm genetics we’ve acquired through trade so normally we can’t enter.

Good Luck to all! I know it’s gonna take me some time to be able to cast a vote. It’s like walking down a candy isle. Haha

Not sure how someone can just choose one to vote for. Half the reason I have never voted. Besides only one of us can vote and I feel like I should leave that opportunity low.
The bk you entered is absolutely gorgeous @skippyisnohippy
