Unclefishstick's Guide to Home Bicycle Repair

@thewhitelotuce, Horizon herbs has a lot of interesting seeds, a lot of them organic if not all. Tomatoes and peppers are kind of a personal choice, there are so many. I always try to have several of each. I have had snow peas, carrots, broccoli, lettuce and spinach planted since December in Ca. I had to replant the broccoli because I forgot to pull the frost cloth a few nights. Everything else handled the frost okay. I went with raised beds with hardware cloth on the bottom to keep ahead of these moles I haven't dealt with yet

twl, I just got my Johnny's Seeds catalog and they have an amazing selection to pick from. Last year I did heirlooms.....think I will mix it up this year.

 

[unclefishstick]

190 i think titan probably makes a good one,just stay away from CAP stuff...
lotus i got a month by month garden guide for my state that had a list of recommended veggies and fruits for the area,this year im doing fewer things but more of them....the chili i grew last year was so good im doing a whole bed in chili,im gonna try some corn and some beans this year,and only 3 tomato plants in 45 gallon pots....



well i picked up a little speaker for the mp3 player,should fit nicely into one of the bags i just got for the bike,or i can modify a water bottle cage

 

[thewhitelotus]

thanks for all the suggestions guys! do you have any favorites that you like to do every year?

believe it or not....i actually hate tomatoes, but god damn they are fun to grow and I have friends who make killer salsa and tomato sauce.....sooo its a nice trade off

Unc , what MP3 player did you get ? i'm thinkin about grabbing one to have in the van or if i'm out on the bike .
anybody got a good suggestion ? i need lots of storage on it . a couple thousand songs worth .

Oh & a .... its gotta be pretty simple to use
the ol'lady has one & i can't figure the damn thing out lol

 

[thewhitelotus]

most "name brand" mp3 players will accomplish what you want. a couple thousand songs is really too much in the storage world these days!

i personally use my phone, which is a galaxy note II, but i think an ipod or something similar would work for ya

 

[dansbuds]

PF, what timer did you get? If Unc recomennded one I must have missed that post.

Unreg .... if your looking for a timer for your drip system ..... grab one of these . they have seconds of ON time instead of the standard 1 minute increments. much nicer for dialing in to runoff .

i use them , 3rd just bought a few & someone else too , but i forget . anyways , i've had mine going for well over a year with 0 problems .

spent the morning hours cuddled up to the girlfriends round brown. fuck snow, would rather plow doggie style than worry about snow. after that we had breakfast and went back to bed. Oh I did water the plants between round 1 and round 2.

I'm not gonna get into the phone thing with ya ... i'll just say , my phone is a phone .... i don't use it for ANYTHING else ! lol

Is a couple thousand song really to much or did ya mean it isn't much for todays devices ?

boy you're missing out dan! I use my phone for quite a bit especially on the web with all my sportsbetting, stat checking, etc.....but im also an IT consultant so im glued to technology

thousands of songs isnt much for devices these days. any decent device should hold that no problem.

now thousands of records......well my house has that too....my roommate only listens to vinyl at home and MP3s on the road

 

[thewhitelotus]

dans, have you tried smart pots? its what ive been using the last couple rounds and im pretty happy with em....rinse em and toss em in the washer without soap and they come out lookin like new! just a thought!

 

[dansbuds]

Nahhh man , the only thing i need a computer for is what i'm doing right now lol

so .... NO ... i don't need a pocket one !!!

i know a couple vinyl guys ..... they can be real fanatics when it comes to music clearity !!!!

 

[unregistered190]

dans, thanks for that link...just checked it out....15 amps...and nice price

have checked on the Titans as well

 

[Smokin Joe]

Dan when you get that mp3 player and figure it out you can teach me. But ya may have to dumb it down for me to catch on lol

I maybe the other person using a mistking timer I could have just went with a chepo timer for what I'm using mine for. It controls my veg lights. I just plug in my pump and let it run till the trash can is empty. I was gonna use the timer on the drip system but for now it works out that I'm there when the pump needs to run anyway. I need to build a veg box and set up another rez for that, then I can set the timers up and visit at my convenience rather then me being on a nailed down schedule.
