Hey all, trying to give this sub-form a kick!
This wont be the prettiest grow, but it'll be good to get my feet wet with regards outdoors and test the local soil
and better get to grips with it. Maybe some pollen chucking too. Train wreck inbound - should be fun.
This will be a bog grow! The spot is pretty dire, shallow turf - real muddy stuff. The plot will be growing three sections, one with a raised bed and mixed soil, and two with simple holes and some lighter dirt then the peat.

All thats been growing on this plot is gorse (ulex, for any visitors), brambles and blueberries. I started digging when it was pretty dry, and once the rain came it was obvious that the roots were the only thing holding it together...

I'll be amending with some sand, kelp meal, bone meal, lime and compost.

Hoping the line up shows the range of what works and what doesn't in this climate:
- Bangi haze (dont expect it to fully finish, but a gentle October like 2017 should help)

- Kumonai from RSC, if they manage to sprout. (not looking like they will, sadly)

- West cork wonder - Should be the star.

- Malawi x NL auto from ACE. The only auto, wanted stuff from LaBuena Hierba, but they seem absent lately.

- Swiss Cheese from nirvanna - maybe open pollinate and get a seed run to try find something funky smelling.

Anyway, feel free to hijack the thread what are ye all growing this year?
Stay safe and happy growing.

if there was blueberries growing there i am guessing the ground is quite acidic?
Maybe leave some gorse here and there as well, its a member of the pea family and can be of benefit as a nitrogen fixer.

Looks a nice plot you have swiss cheese is a good plant for outdoors what is west cork wonder are you in langer land lol?, hopefully the hard work will pay of and we get a half decent summer this year, fingers crossed for you. I will drop in from time to time if you do not mind.

Take care and all the best.

Suprex, thanks for popping by.
Yeah, i haven't tested it, but its more or less guaranteed to be acidic.
Didnt know it was a member of the pea family! But had to clear most to have any space at all.

haha, no not down that way, but its supposedly acclimatised and bred over there. There are a couple threads about it here. Want to see if its any good.

Happy growing, Cheers!
