[Keef]

Storm's coming tonight gotta go get supplies !- Need some Pepsi - burners for my e-cig - a lighter and some screens for my pipe !- That should do it ! Important stuff first is my rule !

 

[giggy]

still nothing from hopper? it was bad out there and i hope they are ok. i saw floods where i had never seen floods before. when they say flash floods you better believe it, they come from nowhere. i have stood looking out the back window of my mom's house and watch the water rise, and it rained about 30 miles away. a lot of times the guadalupe river will swell in the matter of minutes with the rain miles away.

 

[Keef]

Looks like I'm bout to catch it here too !-- I'm ready !-- I won't get the flooding Dallas got cause it's about 1/2 mile to the gulf !-- 30 minutes after the rain stops - waters gone !- The storms reach all the way up !-- Ya'll be careful !- Hope that wasn't Hopper get airlifted of the top of a truck !-- San Antonio and Houston in trouble !- Water don't soak into the ground in S.A. - get a morning dew up there and it floods ! Houston's flat the water runs off slow !-- Then they have to open the spillway on Lake Conroe and all the subdivisions in the flood plain go under water !

Howdy all you old farts. Looks like you all are having a good time. I just got done replacing the plastic on the greenhouse again. This time I spent the bucks and bought some 4 year warranty greenhouse sheeting. My greenhouse is 12 x 24 and it cost 121.00 delivered to the house. It has 88% light transmission, drip proof, and uv protected. http://www.agriculturesolutions.com...-greenhouse-film-4-year-6mil-per-sq-ft-detail
On one of the reviews they were stating it has been on for 9 years so that is good news. If it will last 5 or 6 years it will be money well spent.

the little house shaped one has a sliding door. it looks like they are connected together. i thought about building one out here in the yard with pvc pipe and poly. a couple boards a door and you have it. my problem is it is hard for me to build one with pvc and poly cause i'm upgrading it before i ever get started. besides it gets hot enough here you would have to open the sides to try to keep it cool.

 

[giggy]

looks like i'm down 2 blue dreams, one was sickly and i don't think it will make it, the other got eat by the bugs. needless to say they got the first dusting with sevin dust. looks like rain and hail tonight so i guess i'll set them in the garage to keep them safe.

The two greenhouses are connected. The alum. framed one has a sliding door and at the other end of the hoop house there is a 40" door to get the bigger stuff in. One thing I forgot to mention is you have to put tape or paint the PVC pipe. PVC gases off and will make the plastic brittle where it contacts the pipe. They would void the warranty is I didn't do one of them. I painted the pipe with white acrylic, which they recommended, with two coats.

 

[Keef]

I'm jealous Beemer !-- Giggy - I hate me some bugs !-- I'm growing rosemary as a companion plant to keep away the spider mites !-- It's thriving in aero !-- I have one or so in every box !-- Also growing Serrano and Jalapenos by the backdoor ( Where them spidermites got in ) !- They don't like peppers ! Hey !- I got a stoner question !-- I use nutes derived from natural sources and the only chemicals I use is a few drops of pH adjuster !- Is I growing Organic or can U even grow Organic if U growing aero ?
