Sleepy Hollow- A Season In Review
Alrighty then fellow gro-bros...The tea barrels are empty, the air pumps have gone silent and the plants have finally given up the last of their bounty. So, let's begin to wrap this thing up. Most everything is curing and I'm finally out of the trim chair. Still have some minor snippin to do here and there but not like the 16 hr days I was putting in when the crops were coming in hot n heavy from the field. I'll be putting together an overall evaluation of the Sleepy Hollow in this post and with things still left to do, I'll spread it out over the next week or so.
I'll be sharing what I knew and what I thought I knew goin in and what I now know which is a damn sight more than what I thought I knew, if that makes sense. I'll give a quick overlook of my strain choices/performance, what I did right and as equally important, the things I did wrong and ways to improve both. In the end, I hope the Sleepy Hollow saga gives some of my less gro-battle hardened compadres some tips and ideas as to how to pull off a successful season without losing your shorts, your mind and any friends you might have had before you started. If nothing else, I think my message here is that not everyone can do this sort of thing and for many reasons but there are very few reasons not to try and if you do decide to saddle up for the ride, it will most likely only be as tough as you make it. That, and I believe overall success is directly relative to how big of bite out of the gro-apple you want to take...
Before I get started, I just want to thanks all those who followed along, offering encouragement when I needed it, and advice when I didnt. LOL The members here at ICMAG are truly- a band of brothers.......CC
