  1. Boys, this might be the year. We're in the middle of a got-danged pandemic, we're gonna analyze every farkin ensemble of every farkin model run UNTIL WE DIAL US IN A FLIZZARD OF EPIC PERCEPTIONS!
  2. That's great man! It's nice to try different experiments every year. I'm with you, I've gained much respect for ancestors and how they lived with this gardening journey. I've had my hands full with my first outdoor hemp harvest the past few weeks. It has been laborious but satisfying and I've learned a lot. I still have several more plants to cut down and process, some of which I'm going to save until after first frost to see how that affects flower potency. Between harvesting, drying, trimming, and curing it's been some work but I believe I'll have some nice organic medicine to peddle soon. Pro tip: Composted chicken poop makes for great cannabis fertilizer! Some plants reached 8 feet high before leaning over from the weight of dense flowers. I'll get some pictures up soon.
  3. 12z NAM MOS predicting a nuke at TYS:
  4. It's amazing how much rain you've gotten lately. I've had a cell come over me for a good downpour about every other day for several days in a row, so I can't complain. But you're getting WAY more than SW Knox. Are you east or west of I75 if you don't mind me asking?
  5. Nothing at all this afternoon. A light shower earlier in the morning.
  6. Stealing all my drops! At least I got a cool breeze off it.
  7. Yep, SW Knox has been screwed too. Stuff gets going in elevation, sometimes wanders into the valley but areas like mine just don't have the luck of storms steering into us. Micro-climates are interesting.
  8. Right after I posted that I got a 15 minute mod to heavy downpour which was much appreciated. At first I had the sprinkler on during the rain because I didn't believe it would last lol. This specific area has suffered. Seems like Vonore, Sweetwater, Greenback, and even Louisville 4 miles away gobble up my storms hehe. They evaporate over my house.
  9. I've not had a downpour in 3 weeks or so and we're bone dry. My area has been very unlucky. That may change today but I'm not holding my breath. The water bill is gonna be nasty.
  10. I watched Halley through a weak telescope in a special night time meeting of my 4th grade class. Will never forget it. The Phish song is a great memorial to that comet.
  11. I was happy to get lucky and have one form pretty much on top of me today and got a good heavy soaking. We needed it.
  12. My heirloom maters started surging this week. Some of the hemp is 6 feet high. Overall things are thriving over here although we're getting quite dry and the sprinkler is getting some use.
  13. That was a helluva storm. Constant lightning. I was sitting under my deck and a cell phone tower bout 200 yards away was struck. I almost fell out of my chair! Best electrical storm I've seen in a very long time and we're grateful for the downpour. The garden needed it.
  14. Fortunately, the last 4 or 5 frost advisories did not result in frost at my place. Still, mother nature gas lighting us has been stressful to say the least. Hopefully the threat is over for the season finally. Gardening game on!
  15. As of 6:30 am I'm showing 34 degrees and no visible signs of frost out the window. Gonna pull off the coverings before the sun gets going. Hopefully we've dodged a bullet over here.
  16. 0z NAM has me bottoming out in the upper/mid 20s, I'm pulling for the RAP at 35 degrees lol.
  17. I wasn't expecting this much additional rain. Some of my coverings are getting the coffee filter effect and sagging. At least minimal wind so far (in terms of keeping coverings on). Just hoping to bust high here on the temps.
