Last Notes npub16jq5v5q7gfx6dnprmzxyjdu6ncmah0mfajavfmwcsm82c7ljtj0q5dzvfc ChrisTurkovich Summer time reds going into the bottle. Making some room for this years harvest. npub16jq5v5q7gfx6dnprmzxyjdu6ncmah0mfajavfmwcsm82c7ljtj0q5dzvfc ChrisTurkovich AI is taking jobs: it’s going to be a while before it takes mine npub16jq5v5q7gfx6dnprmzxyjdu6ncmah0mfajavfmwcsm82c7ljtj0q5dzvfc ChrisTurkovich I’m in npub16jq5v5q7gfx6dnprmzxyjdu6ncmah0mfajavfmwcsm82c7ljtj0q5dzvfc ChrisTurkovich Bud break time spring is here early this year. Following a dry winter. Every year brings something different npub16jq5v5q7gfx6dnprmzxyjdu6ncmah0mfajavfmwcsm82c7ljtj0q5dzvfc ChrisTurkovich Don’t forget….”the government spends our tax money wisely.” And “eggs, milk and meat are bad for you” npub16jq5v5q7gfx6dnprmzxyjdu6ncmah0mfajavfmwcsm82c7ljtj0q5dzvfc ChrisTurkovich What are you looking at? npub16jq5v5q7gfx6dnprmzxyjdu6ncmah0mfajavfmwcsm82c7ljtj0q5dzvfc ChrisTurkovich 👍been trying to. Other than my local btc meet up it’s been tough breaking into the BTC community. But going to keep my head down and push onward npub16jq5v5q7gfx6dnprmzxyjdu6ncmah0mfajavfmwcsm82c7ljtj0q5dzvfc ChrisTurkovich New crop of lambs dropped last week. A bunch of happy mamma and babies npub16jq5v5q7gfx6dnprmzxyjdu6ncmah0mfajavfmwcsm82c7ljtj0q5dzvfc ChrisTurkovich 👍 the only “issue” I have had is adjusting the sensitivity on the alerts. At first the insects at night would set off the motion detection. But you can adjust the sensitivity. It does a great job of recognizing humans and vehicles. npub16jq5v5q7gfx6dnprmzxyjdu6ncmah0mfajavfmwcsm82c7ljtj0q5dzvfc ChrisTurkovich I have a bunch of the Poe and a few wireless with solar for the far off locations. Most of the models I have are the Duo WiFi npub16jq5v5q7gfx6dnprmzxyjdu6ncmah0mfajavfmwcsm82c7ljtj0q5dzvfc ChrisTurkovich Inspiration episode. Well done npub16jq5v5q7gfx6dnprmzxyjdu6ncmah0mfajavfmwcsm82c7ljtj0q5dzvfc ChrisTurkovich Bloom time in the almonds npub16jq5v5q7gfx6dnprmzxyjdu6ncmah0mfajavfmwcsm82c7ljtj0q5dzvfc ChrisTurkovich Yes, I use them all round the farm and winery. I settled on them mainly because of the feature so set a schedule to receive alerts. So I don’t get notifications all day long while we are out and about but receive notifications at night npub16jq5v5q7gfx6dnprmzxyjdu6ncmah0mfajavfmwcsm82c7ljtj0q5dzvfc ChrisTurkovich New Albariño filling day. Fresh and crisp getting ready for a spring release in a few weeks. npub16jq5v5q7gfx6dnprmzxyjdu6ncmah0mfajavfmwcsm82c7ljtj0q5dzvfc ChrisTurkovich Great guests ad episode npub16jq5v5q7gfx6dnprmzxyjdu6ncmah0mfajavfmwcsm82c7ljtj0q5dzvfc ChrisTurkovich Agreed, I just had a wire from my business account held up by a bank trying to buy wine equipment. The bank wanted to “verify” I had seen equipment in person…just send the money. Thanks to @jack mallers and @nprofile…9pf8 and @speedwallet At least I can pay/receive some of my vendors/staff directly without some of this bank nonsense npub16jq5v5q7gfx6dnprmzxyjdu6ncmah0mfajavfmwcsm82c7ljtj0q5dzvfc ChrisTurkovich Topping wine barrels today. Trying to keep the “angels share” at bay. We need to finish up soon. This room need to get cleaned up so we can host our Bitcoin Holiday Party on the 18th! npub16jq5v5q7gfx6dnprmzxyjdu6ncmah0mfajavfmwcsm82c7ljtj0q5dzvfc ChrisTurkovich Get your order today to receive your wines in time for Thanksgiving…winemaker pro tip: Grenache is the best red wine pairing for turkey npub16jq5v5q7gfx6dnprmzxyjdu6ncmah0mfajavfmwcsm82c7ljtj0q5dzvfc ChrisTurkovich https://blossom.primal.net/0f48257c29dbd544f0cac6d129d098762051d4240d20188d3247a1093a97a7bd.mov npub16jq5v5q7gfx6dnprmzxyjdu6ncmah0mfajavfmwcsm82c7ljtj0q5dzvfc ChrisTurkovich Olive harvest going straight to the mill and press. Fresh extra virgin olive oil coming soon npub16jq5v5q7gfx6dnprmzxyjdu6ncmah0mfajavfmwcsm82c7ljtj0q5dzvfc ChrisTurkovich Rain coming tomorrow. Makes for a horizon to horizon sunset tonight npub16jq5v5q7gfx6dnprmzxyjdu6ncmah0mfajavfmwcsm82c7ljtj0q5dzvfc ChrisTurkovich Big day for Argentina, another big step toward a bright future for Argentina and also for the rest of the west to see a path out irresponsible trajectory all western governments are headed npub16jq5v5q7gfx6dnprmzxyjdu6ncmah0mfajavfmwcsm82c7ljtj0q5dzvfc ChrisTurkovich More rainbows and fall weather. Harvest is over…except olives and walnuts. October is an amazing month in NorthernCA npub16jq5v5q7gfx6dnprmzxyjdu6ncmah0mfajavfmwcsm82c7ljtj0q5dzvfc ChrisTurkovich Nature is amazing. Sierra thunder storm npub16jq5v5q7gfx6dnprmzxyjdu6ncmah0mfajavfmwcsm82c7ljtj0q5dzvfc ChrisTurkovich We can’t do high proof with our license, a neighbor of ours…Patio 29 makes our high proof for us. We have them distill us some brandy for our port wine npub16jq5v5q7gfx6dnprmzxyjdu6ncmah0mfajavfmwcsm82c7ljtj0q5dzvfc ChrisTurkovich New release! Our flagship red blend called “The Boss” now has a fresh bitcoin edition label. To go along with our new label is our new Bitcoin only website: www.bitcoinvintner.com npub16jq5v5q7gfx6dnprmzxyjdu6ncmah0mfajavfmwcsm82c7ljtj0q5dzvfc ChrisTurkovich Stay humble, stack sats, enjoy life npub16jq5v5q7gfx6dnprmzxyjdu6ncmah0mfajavfmwcsm82c7ljtj0q5dzvfc ChrisTurkovich Last fermentation of the year. Wild yeast fermented Mourvèdre from our estate vineyard. This vineyard is 5 years old and has never been sprayed. And now with our sheep flock doing all the weed control. The only time a tractor entered this vineyard was for harvest. Yes, a single tractor pass the whole year! npub16jq5v5q7gfx6dnprmzxyjdu6ncmah0mfajavfmwcsm82c7ljtj0q5dzvfc ChrisTurkovich Just chiming in on the sulfite discussion. It is not possible to make a wine with 0 sulfites. Yeast naturally produce some sulfites during fermentation the natural amount would produce 5-9ppm. Common good winemaking practices if you are adding sulfites to end up with 25ppm free sulfur in the finished wine. Sulfites provide two functions. 1) as an antioxidant scavenging oxygen in the wine which helps keep the wine from “browning”. 2) sulfites are an anti microbial keeping things from growing in the wine helping the wine age longer. The short of it is large or low quality producers use a lot of sulfites (100+ppm) Good producers use no to minimal sulfites. As a rule of thumb white whites will have more sulfites in them because there are naturally less antioxidants in white wine then red. npub16jq5v5q7gfx6dnprmzxyjdu6ncmah0mfajavfmwcsm82c7ljtj0q5dzvfc ChrisTurkovich Good life choice. Time to turn that house into a home. Congrats npub16jq5v5q7gfx6dnprmzxyjdu6ncmah0mfajavfmwcsm82c7ljtj0q5dzvfc ChrisTurkovich Good evening npub16jq5v5q7gfx6dnprmzxyjdu6ncmah0mfajavfmwcsm82c7ljtj0q5dzvfc ChrisTurkovich Great episode…this is one of those episodes that help move family and friends further down the btc path. Keep up the good work npub16jq5v5q7gfx6dnprmzxyjdu6ncmah0mfajavfmwcsm82c7ljtj0q5dzvfc ChrisTurkovich Petit Verdot and Mourvèdre pick scheduled for later this week. The fall weather is here and slowing the ripening a bit. The end of harvest is in sight npub16jq5v5q7gfx6dnprmzxyjdu6ncmah0mfajavfmwcsm82c7ljtj0q5dzvfc ChrisTurkovich GM. . . Wine tank pump over. npub16jq5v5q7gfx6dnprmzxyjdu6ncmah0mfajavfmwcsm82c7ljtj0q5dzvfc ChrisTurkovich Pump over time. Petite sirah at the peak of fermentation. We pump over the juice from below the “cap” to irrigate the wine over the top to make sure everything stays wet and fermenting evenly. This also allows for a little bit of oxygen and some of the fermentation heat to be blown off to help keep things cool. npub16jq5v5q7gfx6dnprmzxyjdu6ncmah0mfajavfmwcsm82c7ljtj0q5dzvfc ChrisTurkovich Prune harvest is underway. npub16jq5v5q7gfx6dnprmzxyjdu6ncmah0mfajavfmwcsm82c7ljtj0q5dzvfc ChrisTurkovich GM….Cab Franc for your wake up call. You are looking at a current temperature of 59 degrees and today is going to be clear and sunny with a high of 88 degrees. npub16jq5v5q7gfx6dnprmzxyjdu6ncmah0mfajavfmwcsm82c7ljtj0q5dzvfc ChrisTurkovich Great size…we start our harvest of prunes tomorrow npub16jq5v5q7gfx6dnprmzxyjdu6ncmah0mfajavfmwcsm82c7ljtj0q5dzvfc ChrisTurkovich Always fresher at night. We even had a brief thunder storm with some wild lightning, just enough ran to knock the dust down, great way to welcome in September. #herecomesfall npub16jq5v5q7gfx6dnprmzxyjdu6ncmah0mfajavfmwcsm82c7ljtj0q5dzvfc ChrisTurkovich Huge, soon many people will begin to own @strategy and not even know it npub16jq5v5q7gfx6dnprmzxyjdu6ncmah0mfajavfmwcsm82c7ljtj0q5dzvfc ChrisTurkovich Good luck. There are safe havens close by but yes. Stay safe npub16jq5v5q7gfx6dnprmzxyjdu6ncmah0mfajavfmwcsm82c7ljtj0q5dzvfc ChrisTurkovich Next generation of grape stompers in action. The Turkovich girls are showing their city boys cousins how work gets done at the winery. npub16jq5v5q7gfx6dnprmzxyjdu6ncmah0mfajavfmwcsm82c7ljtj0q5dzvfc ChrisTurkovich GM npub16jq5v5q7gfx6dnprmzxyjdu6ncmah0mfajavfmwcsm82c7ljtj0q5dzvfc ChrisTurkovich There are signs of the good life. This is another one 🤙 npub16jq5v5q7gfx6dnprmzxyjdu6ncmah0mfajavfmwcsm82c7ljtj0q5dzvfc ChrisTurkovich How do you know if you are on the right track in life?…sometimes there are signs npub16jq5v5q7gfx6dnprmzxyjdu6ncmah0mfajavfmwcsm82c7ljtj0q5dzvfc ChrisTurkovich Lamb collaboration? We should chat npub16jq5v5q7gfx6dnprmzxyjdu6ncmah0mfajavfmwcsm82c7ljtj0q5dzvfc ChrisTurkovich Thanks, the integration into the orchards even easier we are still dialing in the right covercrop mix. But it has been getting better each year npub16jq5v5q7gfx6dnprmzxyjdu6ncmah0mfajavfmwcsm82c7ljtj0q5dzvfc ChrisTurkovich Labor continues to get harder to find and more expensive. Over the last few years we have moved from 100% hand harvesting our grapes to now we are 90% mechanical harvesting. The machines today are surprisingly gentle on the vines and the fruit. And we are able to get the grapes to the winery much quicker so the fruit is colder and we get a better cold soak prior to the fermentation starting. npub16jq5v5q7gfx6dnprmzxyjdu6ncmah0mfajavfmwcsm82c7ljtj0q5dzvfc ChrisTurkovich And the US beef herd is at an all time low as far as head of cattle. So these meat prices are going to be here for a while. With inflation I don’t think we will ever see quality meat under $10/lb again npub16jq5v5q7gfx6dnprmzxyjdu6ncmah0mfajavfmwcsm82c7ljtj0q5dzvfc ChrisTurkovich Hill side Cabernet Sauvignon hand picked today. This will keep us busy for the day. Mild weather has been amazing and much appreciated. npub16jq5v5q7gfx6dnprmzxyjdu6ncmah0mfajavfmwcsm82c7ljtj0q5dzvfc ChrisTurkovich Syrah picked loaded. Winery here we come npub16jq5v5q7gfx6dnprmzxyjdu6ncmah0mfajavfmwcsm82c7ljtj0q5dzvfc ChrisTurkovich Farmer tip of the day. Welding with crappie gloves has consequences npub16jq5v5q7gfx6dnprmzxyjdu6ncmah0mfajavfmwcsm82c7ljtj0q5dzvfc ChrisTurkovich So sad, and obviously corrupt. npub16jq5v5q7gfx6dnprmzxyjdu6ncmah0mfajavfmwcsm82c7ljtj0q5dzvfc ChrisTurkovich Mid summer swing. Fermentations are rolling. Albariño, Roussanne and Viognier are all in the tanks and bubbling away. A nice break before the reds startup npub16jq5v5q7gfx6dnprmzxyjdu6ncmah0mfajavfmwcsm82c7ljtj0q5dzvfc ChrisTurkovich This is how it happens … well done npub16jq5v5q7gfx6dnprmzxyjdu6ncmah0mfajavfmwcsm82c7ljtj0q5dzvfc ChrisTurkovich Best empanadas outside of Argentina npub16jq5v5q7gfx6dnprmzxyjdu6ncmah0mfajavfmwcsm82c7ljtj0q5dzvfc ChrisTurkovich Albariño sampling this morning, looks like it will be ready early next week. Sugar and acid are developing perfectly and the canopy and clusters are in great shape. npub16jq5v5q7gfx6dnprmzxyjdu6ncmah0mfajavfmwcsm82c7ljtj0q5dzvfc ChrisTurkovich Wells pumping sand is very common in certain areas. Things to consider, what size well? And how deep is it pumping from? is it only pumping sand when it starts pumping? Or all the time. We often flush our wells when they first start and then they pump clean after about ten mins. npub16jq5v5q7gfx6dnprmzxyjdu6ncmah0mfajavfmwcsm82c7ljtj0q5dzvfc ChrisTurkovich First day of the 2025 vintage. Harvest underway. Lining up to be a great year. npub16jq5v5q7gfx6dnprmzxyjdu6ncmah0mfajavfmwcsm82c7ljtj0q5dzvfc ChrisTurkovich Last call for lambs for the 2025 season. Top quality meat raised regeneratively in our orchards and vineyard We have a few left unsold for this season. All grass fed/finished. 15% discount for BTC purchases. https://turkovichwines.com/product-category/62/ npub16jq5v5q7gfx6dnprmzxyjdu6ncmah0mfajavfmwcsm82c7ljtj0q5dzvfc ChrisTurkovich Mourvèdre grapes ripening beautifully. npub16jq5v5q7gfx6dnprmzxyjdu6ncmah0mfajavfmwcsm82c7ljtj0q5dzvfc ChrisTurkovich Your service to the community and the world are much appreciated. Your question was timely and important. Thank you npub16jq5v5q7gfx6dnprmzxyjdu6ncmah0mfajavfmwcsm82c7ljtj0q5dzvfc ChrisTurkovich Friends and fellow prune farmers from Chile visited us today. It was interesting to reminisce I worked in Chile back in 2007. Back then Argentina was a socialist hell hole and had no future and Chile was the shining star of South America and a model from more the rest of the continent. Fast forward and today Argentina is on a fast track to a free market model for the rest of the developed world and Chile is regressing into a socialist backwater of South America. The world and time are fascinating npub16jq5v5q7gfx6dnprmzxyjdu6ncmah0mfajavfmwcsm82c7ljtj0q5dzvfc ChrisTurkovich Perfect and wash it down with a Turkovich Malbec and call it a day npub16jq5v5q7gfx6dnprmzxyjdu6ncmah0mfajavfmwcsm82c7ljtj0q5dzvfc ChrisTurkovich Summer sunset. Enjoying a little downtime before harvest starts. Monday tomatoes start. 1-2 weeks and grapes will get started and prunes shortly there after. npub16jq5v5q7gfx6dnprmzxyjdu6ncmah0mfajavfmwcsm82c7ljtj0q5dzvfc ChrisTurkovich Super excited to have partnered with @nprofile…3skh and supplying some wine to help advance BTC. Keep up the good work npub16jq5v5q7gfx6dnprmzxyjdu6ncmah0mfajavfmwcsm82c7ljtj0q5dzvfc ChrisTurkovich Nest box that is accessible from the outside is the way to go! npub16jq5v5q7gfx6dnprmzxyjdu6ncmah0mfajavfmwcsm82c7ljtj0q5dzvfc ChrisTurkovich I had a recent experience very similar opening a bank account for a local group. The entire time I was thinking I hope this is the last bank account I ever open, btc fixes this and I would have gotten 1.5 hrs of my life back npub16jq5v5q7gfx6dnprmzxyjdu6ncmah0mfajavfmwcsm82c7ljtj0q5dzvfc ChrisTurkovich Oh no. Hope everything is ok. Best wishes keep up the good work npub16jq5v5q7gfx6dnprmzxyjdu6ncmah0mfajavfmwcsm82c7ljtj0q5dzvfc ChrisTurkovich Summer is here: cover crops have dried up. The residual crop residue has formed and armor protecting the soil. Keeping the soil temperature lower and the warm dry air circulates through the vines and keeps mildew pressure non existent. The clusters are developing nicely and ideal growing season so far npub16jq5v5q7gfx6dnprmzxyjdu6ncmah0mfajavfmwcsm82c7ljtj0q5dzvfc ChrisTurkovich Pollinators out in full force on the artichokes npub16jq5v5q7gfx6dnprmzxyjdu6ncmah0mfajavfmwcsm82c7ljtj0q5dzvfc ChrisTurkovich My plan was to be in Vegas this last week, but bottling schedule got in the way…all and all a good week for the family and good week for the farm/winery and a good week for BTC. npub16jq5v5q7gfx6dnprmzxyjdu6ncmah0mfajavfmwcsm82c7ljtj0q5dzvfc ChrisTurkovich https://fountain.fm/episode/pOe6WAfzRvsCXfYqqqnT npub16jq5v5q7gfx6dnprmzxyjdu6ncmah0mfajavfmwcsm82c7ljtj0q5dzvfc ChrisTurkovich Looks simple, but there are only a handful of producers that graze their vineyards during the growing season. There is a ton of green washing going on in marketing these days. This is what regenerative farming looks like. npub16jq5v5q7gfx6dnprmzxyjdu6ncmah0mfajavfmwcsm82c7ljtj0q5dzvfc ChrisTurkovich New all time high going to celebrate tomorrow night at our pizza night. npub16jq5v5q7gfx6dnprmzxyjdu6ncmah0mfajavfmwcsm82c7ljtj0q5dzvfc ChrisTurkovich Before and after grazing. The lambs take a lot off the top. But about 30-40% remains for regrow to as well as is trampled which helps preserve moisture in the soil and keep soil microbes active and healthy npub16jq5v5q7gfx6dnprmzxyjdu6ncmah0mfajavfmwcsm82c7ljtj0q5dzvfc ChrisTurkovich Moving in for the dangerous grazing pass of the year. Unaverted sheep in a growing vineyard. The sheep love grape leaves so we have to keep them moving so they remove some leaves from the vineyard but not hammer them and we loose all our crop npub16jq5v5q7gfx6dnprmzxyjdu6ncmah0mfajavfmwcsm82c7ljtj0q5dzvfc ChrisTurkovich Spring time is the best, grazing crew is working until the sun goes down. Sunsets are amazing npub16jq5v5q7gfx6dnprmzxyjdu6ncmah0mfajavfmwcsm82c7ljtj0q5dzvfc ChrisTurkovich A little bit of happiness for your Monday morning npub16jq5v5q7gfx6dnprmzxyjdu6ncmah0mfajavfmwcsm82c7ljtj0q5dzvfc ChrisTurkovich Could be the biggest thing happening right now. Immediately save fiat each month which allows household breathing room who are living paycheck to paycheck. Every bitcoiner should be pushing: Crowdhealth and with the savings stack Sats. npub16jq5v5q7gfx6dnprmzxyjdu6ncmah0mfajavfmwcsm82c7ljtj0q5dzvfc ChrisTurkovich Calling all Northern California bitcoiners. In honor of pizza day this year our winery will be hosting Pizza Night. Wine, music and pizza and enjoy the sunset on the terrace over looking the vineyard. npub16jq5v5q7gfx6dnprmzxyjdu6ncmah0mfajavfmwcsm82c7ljtj0q5dzvfc ChrisTurkovich Yep, it’s happening. Bud break in the Chardonnay, which is always the first variety to bud out each year. Right on time npub16jq5v5q7gfx6dnprmzxyjdu6ncmah0mfajavfmwcsm82c7ljtj0q5dzvfc ChrisTurkovich Now accepting orders for whole or half grass fed lambs for the 2025 season.

Additional info can be found here www.turkovichwines.com/grazing/ npub16jq5v5q7gfx6dnprmzxyjdu6ncmah0mfajavfmwcsm82c7ljtj0q5dzvfc ChrisTurkovich Full bloom underway in the prunes. And next week bud break in the grapes npub16jq5v5q7gfx6dnprmzxyjdu6ncmah0mfajavfmwcsm82c7ljtj0q5dzvfc ChrisTurkovich Matfer is my go to pan. Mostly switched from cast. I still have them and use them but I reach for the carbon steel 90% of the time npub16jq5v5q7gfx6dnprmzxyjdu6ncmah0mfajavfmwcsm82c7ljtj0q5dzvfc ChrisTurkovich Bloom time, prune time. The next ten days is the critical time for the crop to be set for the year…fingers crossed no major winds, frost or heat…our ability to stack sats this year depends on it. 🤞 npub16jq5v5q7gfx6dnprmzxyjdu6ncmah0mfajavfmwcsm82c7ljtj0q5dzvfc ChrisTurkovich We got a break in the rain yesterday and had a chance to move half the flock from the walnut orchards to the vineyard. Spring time is awesome npub16jq5v5q7gfx6dnprmzxyjdu6ncmah0mfajavfmwcsm82c7ljtj0q5dzvfc ChrisTurkovich Prune bloom is coming one week from now everything will be white with blossoms npub16jq5v5q7gfx6dnprmzxyjdu6ncmah0mfajavfmwcsm82c7ljtj0q5dzvfc ChrisTurkovich Tagging, health checks, weighing today and here we go. Orchard and vineyard grazing crew prepping for work npub16jq5v5q7gfx6dnprmzxyjdu6ncmah0mfajavfmwcsm82c7ljtj0q5dzvfc ChrisTurkovich Lake Berryessa’s Gloryhole is flowing. It never gets old seeing this npub16jq5v5q7gfx6dnprmzxyjdu6ncmah0mfajavfmwcsm82c7ljtj0q5dzvfc ChrisTurkovich I believe this is called progress, Schiff is turning the corner. Next thing you know he will be in Nostr ranting about shitcoins npub16jq5v5q7gfx6dnprmzxyjdu6ncmah0mfajavfmwcsm82c7ljtj0q5dzvfc ChrisTurkovich Bottling time. Almost all small wineries use mobile bottling. Think “rent a bottle line” truck shows us and we bottle 1-2 days as much as we can and then off goes the truck, and finished wine stays at the winery ready for the bottle aging process to begin. #nostrwine #lowtimepreference npub16jq5v5q7gfx6dnprmzxyjdu6ncmah0mfajavfmwcsm82c7ljtj0q5dzvfc ChrisTurkovich Calm before the storm. A quiet winery today. But bottling starts tomorrow. Three days of bottling coming up. White wines up first. Chardonnay, Roussanne, Viognier and our Estate blend npub16jq5v5q7gfx6dnprmzxyjdu6ncmah0mfajavfmwcsm82c7ljtj0q5dzvfc ChrisTurkovich This is one of the reasons why people still stay in California. Transplants can be planted outside today February 22. It’s 75 degrees out with nighttime temps in the mid 40s. Basically a year round growing season npub16jq5v5q7gfx6dnprmzxyjdu6ncmah0mfajavfmwcsm82c7ljtj0q5dzvfc ChrisTurkovich #ask North Korea. It only takes two generations of control and brainwashing to completely change a civilization npub16jq5v5q7gfx6dnprmzxyjdu6ncmah0mfajavfmwcsm82c7ljtj0q5dzvfc ChrisTurkovich Good call. Prune as late as possible. Late pruning improves quality and quantity.
