The garage is starting to fill up. I can fit about another 6000 leaf. I wish some stems would dry up.

Can you move some leaf into your walk in kiln for stem drying? It may have lower humidity. I just moved some more TN90 inside the house for stem drying. It's working very well this way.

The kiln area is at the shop, I would have to get the leaf into high case to transport it.
Hopefully by the time she is filled I can double up rows to make more room.

Brown thumb my anus! You got a lot of bacca. Nice job and beautiful shop.

I might have grew a lot of Baccy but pics do not do justice of the plants and leaf small size.
They could have used some enhancement meds.

Hanging leaf over the garages doors is a pita.
i have to string up two spots in the center also to keep the doors from hitting leaf.
i never finished hanging the big gem last night me and mr molson got into a deep discussion.
Me and mr extra gold are going to finish it tonight.

Got up good and early to harvest my little Yellow Mammoth.
900 leaves better than expected still a few more that we're not mature out in the field but most matured at the same time top and bottom.

Thanks Knucks,
You are doing good too, I think better than you expected considering all the road blocks you ran into.
you still have a lot to harvest, Enjoy it. It only comes around once a year.

Once the mud lugs and lugs are harvested, I can do the rest of the harvesting from the back of the four wheeler. BT is sprayed from the four wheeler. The aphids are sprayed from the ground, but they are high enough on the plant that it doesn't bother me. Transplanting and grass pulling is a back breaker. Not much I can do about transplanting, but I have a couple ideas for the grass for next year. I've learned an awful lot this year.

Aah! A UNO guy. You save all your draw 4's for the end. Just like that beautiful massive ceiling garden you got in the shop.

Nope, a Go Fish guy anymore with young kids.
The hanging area is a Storage , garage area , I am tired of fixing things.
I come home and don't want to fix a Damm thing.
There is no way I would ever want to fill the shop ceiling up, 8000 sq ft.
