From Bud to Harvest

Those are great looking plants Jamie you must have the "green thumb"

I've been silent, but I for one have been enjoying the posts / progress on this whole project. They do look great.

Green thumb, yes. Green foot, probably not. actually, I hope not!

They are good looking. From the title I was worried we would have to ban you for posting photos of "other stuff" you were growing.

Why don't I see the pics?

Why don't I see the pics?

Hmmm, I don't know Ed. The album is set to public, so you should be able to see them I think. Anyone else have problems?

Now I see them (post-friending). Odd.

this morning. I had several leaves of the Long Red Leaf that were starting to color up so I decided to go ahead and harvest the first priming from the two plants from the original planting of 12 June, 7 weeks ago.





I picked this sand leaf off one of the plants a week ago and hung it similar to those above. Making good progress on curing it out in just that week. There is still a significant tinge of green on the edges of the leaf, and the main stem is still very moist and pliable, it will be a couple of more weeks before it reaches the proper stage for fermenting. This was just an experiment to see the effects of hanging them on the fence. Looks like it would work, but I most likely will hang the bulk of the leaves in the garage to dry.
