    Buffalo Gnats Again!

    I'm not sure what they are, but we have plenty of flying, biting, stinging, aggravating, obnoxious bugs as it is, so I hope we don't have them! I had never heard of buffalo gnats before this spring, and now I'm seeing things about them everywhere.

    Tennessee

    Hi from Montana! I'm new here too, but it seems like a pretty fun group so far! Where in TN are you? I have a cousin in Cookeville that I visit quite often. Love it there!

    How ya doin'

    Ah, wouldn't it be wonderful if we could get inside their heads and just kind of help them figure it all out? I have a 20 year old nephew who met a girl about a year and a half ago. This girl then decides she's really a boy, and my nephew is good with that. It's such an unbelievably complicated...

    I love peas and plan on planting some, beans too. I haven't ever planted either one before, mostly I've just had tomatoes, cucumbers and zucchini! I'm trying a lot of different things this year to see what works.

    Another newbie here!

    See? Already I'm getting good advice! I should clarify, most of eastern MT has pretty good soil. It's just this area I'm in has what they call gumbo. I guess it would be considered clay. Best way I've found around it is raised beds, even amending the soil can only do so much because the gumbo...

    Another newbie here!

    I'm from eastern Montana, not the best gardening country. We have crappy soil, crappy weather and soft (salty) water, so everything is a challenge! So I'm here to learn any tricks I can! I've gardened off and on for years, but the way the world is now, I think it's as much a necessity as a hobby!
