I can now report...the squishing works!!!! It is a messy job but somebody has to do it. Thanks again for all the help and replies. Tony

Hi Mary, The Master Gardener lady at the county extention office did say that they shouldn't do any harm to my blueberry bushes. They would be more inclined to harm strawberries and clover and other grasses. It was more a thing of getting them cleaned up and off my blueberries...I guess. Plus...

Baymule, That makes me feel a bit better knowing that the fruit shouldn't absorb the spray. We use these blueberries on a regular basis and depend on a good crop each year. Thistlebloom, We did look again last evening before turning in for the night and the foam was back on many of the same...

Catjac, We finally got ahold of the Master Gardener at our County Extention office and she told us the same thing. (minus the aphids) So we went out and did just that with the ones I had missed on the first go around. Thanks Tony

so lucky, I hadn't even thought of that. yikes...spicy hot blueberries don't even sound appealing do they? But, I will let you know. In a week or two we should be picking some. Tony

Well, I've got spittlebugs all thru my blueberry bushes. First time ever. I got a recipe off the web that is 1/2 cup hot pepper, 6 clove of garlic and 2 cup of water. All heavily blended and pureed together, sit for 24 hours and add 2 tsps. of liquid soap. Does this compound seem affective? Am...

Major, The wife and I love brussel sprouts. That's a mighty fine looking batch of them. Tony

Hi, The length of the tube is 41". And here's a couple pictures to show the nipple. http://www.theeasygarden.com/forum/uploads/8931_img_0669.jpg http://www.theeasygarden.com/forum/uploads/8931_img_0670.jpg Tony

Digits, Yes, the heater is fully submerged. It comes with a 4' or so cord on it and reaches the bottom of my tube. It's a cheapy from Wal-Mart. And it is a low wattage heater. Journey, I'll have to measure the tube to be exact but I think it's around 38" tall. It's long enough to hold 2...

Hi, I use a 4" pvc tube in a vertical position with a cap glued to the bottom and a nipple waterer screwed into the cap at the bottom of the cap. In the winter I place an aquarium heater clear to the bottom of the pvc tube and leave it plugged in all winter. The aquarium heater is...

Marshall, I ended up emailing Pam Penick and she said it was okay to send her a pic of what I had. She said it was, in fact, Datura. Thanks for the site information. Tony

Marshall, I went to her site and looked around. I don't see any pics there that look like my stuff. She does have a very nice, well planned site. Tony

Very nice site, even my wife liked it. It's in my favorites. Thanks for sharing. Tony

Lesa, This pic didn't come from my garden. It came from across the road in the field of cow corn. There's quite a bit of it all along the edges. It's not mine so I can't really do anything with it. But it's likely to end up over here eventually. I was curious if I needed to be concerned. Tony
