Here you go some pictures of my late grow.
Daughter planting.
Now the waiting game.
And waiting
Still waiting
Nearly there
That'll do it.
I'll get Steph (Daughter)to start picking from the bottom. If the weather holds we can do that. If it doesn't we'll just have to stalk harvest the lot.

Does your season usually go this long? It's almost winter.
Does your Jasmine attract most of the pest damage?Here we are again a mini update for you. We're up and walking again, they said I wouldn't, I said I would, so there

Hi ChinaVoodoo, Yes
we are able to grow all year long here. My neighbor plants his crop in our winter, less bugs, and stuff he recons. We are in a sort of mini climate where I live. Our daily temperatures are around 21°c, with nights dropping to around16 -18. I'm still wearing shorts and tee shirts.

Yes the Jasmine does seem be a bug attractant. The other plants have a lot less damage than the Jasmine, it must be quite tasty.

Hi guys, some more stuff. I had a crack at making some Cavendish. I used the Pressure Cooker method, one with just medium cased leaf and one with water in the jars. No water was yummy, daughter arrived just after I'd opened the jar and said it smelled really sweet. The water filled one's not so good. Anyway here's some pictures.
Filtering Vanilla beans, Coffee, Honey with Rum, Red Wine and Vodka, a dash of Glycerine for luck.
Just a spritz over the Baccy and it smells and tastes great.

Some pictures of my grow and bug attractant/Control.
notice how the Jasmine has been eaten.
VG on left almost untouched.
close-up of Jasmine
interesting. Mostly eaten.
I think I will have to try and do a better job of keeping an eye on it next season. I know that it looks neglected and abandoned but health issues have kept me away from the plot. The only reason that I have a grow is thanks to my daughter, she has to go to work so can't be there all the time to tend the plants. That's all for now I'll be back later.

Oops. Got it wrong here. It doesn't seem to matter I can do bread, buns and anything that needs to be toasted. It all comes out like this.
I need to do more research.
Anyone got a use for Tobacco Charcoal? It started out as Harrow velvet, never mind I'll get it sorted. I'm keen to try this toasting thing, sounds interesting.

If it's still capable of burning, rehydrate it a bit, and use it as a blend component.

I tried some blended with VG it tasted a little bitter but it wasn't too bad. I may or may not chuck it in the back of the cupboard and try it again in a month or three. I gotta go to town today so I'll sort it when I get home.
I had a good check around the forum and now I see where I went wrong, temperature is 300°f not 300°c, 150°c is a much more respectable temperature. The numbers get confusing sometimes.

It’s not the numbers... darn UNITS of measure are...

298°. That's room temperature. Why can everybody use the Kelvin scale? It starts at an actual zero.
