My apologies for not replying to this earlier, life has been pretty hectic lately! Thank you, Steve. Since I made this post, I have lost a total of 4 tomatoes to this monster. I flooded his hole today but he found another exit. I know I should not be so hateful towards an animal, but these are...

Its funny that they didnt mention HOW its determined though. At least, not that I saw. The air cell is measured to determine the grade of the eggs. I dont remember the numbers off the top of my head, but we have to do it every semester in whatever poultry class. Its pretty interesting! The...

Hey Rich, Im not sure, no... we just have a ton of gophers and I dont know about moles, so Im just assuming, lol. I've seen the work of gophers and this sure looks like it.

No, its not. I need to because when the tomatoes come on, the chickens like to peck at em. The thing with the gophers is, they're coming up from under the ground! The place is way too big to bury wire.

I've been blessed. I never have gopher problems, ever. Well the other day, my dad killed one and now we have them popping up all over. I planted ten tomatoes recently and was out checking them. One of them was cut clean in half about an inch down in the soil. Im guessing gopher. Question here...

Hello! That's cool, my kale are sending off buds too, but Im pulling them up as soon as I can. Hopefully I can finish cleaning Thursday or Friday. We'll see, I have finals in two weeks so I've been busy!

I would have finished cleaning the garden today, but it's been pouring! :lol: Zone 8 here too, as you know, but all I have in the ground currently is onions.

I'm only 19, so pizzas have always been around for me! :lol: BUT, I have noticed what you are dealing with. Growing up, we ALWAYS gre blue lake pole beans. We tried other varieties and they just didn't cut it. Now we have a really hard time finding blue lake POLE beans, you can find bush Beans...

My grandma follows it and taught me to as well. The past couple of years they got pretty expensive in the stores so I've been finding it online. I went to the World's Largest Ag Expo a couple days ago and they were giving them out for free! So I've got it here, I'm pretty excited. I set my eggs...

Hey there, I will reply to that message you sent me. I've been pretty sick the past couple of days and Im just starting to feel better. I've noticed almonds blooming and our plum trees are starting to bloom as well. I hope the rain stops or we're going to lose a ton of blossoms.

Awesome, I hope it all goes well for you! Isnt it funny how tiny Ceres feels next to Modesto? :lol: I always tell everyone if you blink while on the freeway, you go from Turlock to Modesto without even seeing Ceres. Sounds like you have a good batch going. I am just not a huge fan of most...

As for the coldest it has gotten... I really have no idea! I remember it getting down to the mid 20's in December... but that is all I can remember. We got snow which has never happened before that I can remember, so I know it was cold! :lol: I've been gardening for probably 12-13 years but...

Very small world! I've lived my whole *almost* 20 years here in Ceres. I just grew onions for the first time last year, so I bought sets and I figure for $1.50, that works for me. Last year on Feb. 8th, I planted beets, radishes, turnips, lettuce, carrots and peas. They all did well, the...

Hellooooo Neighbor... Literally, I live in Ceres too! I was shocked when I read your post, I've never seen anyone else mention Ceres. No one knows where the heck it is. :lol: I have cabbages, brussel sprouts and celery in the garden now. I planted them a few months ago though. Going through...

LOL, thanks Pax! :D

Hey folks! My school has a great greenhouse setup and they also produce many varieties of fruit trees. They mostly sell in February according to my plant science instructor, but they have a few leftovers from this past year. The nectarine variety they have is Fantasia and the peach variety is...

That sounds like a really nice idea! Thanks again. I love photography, and gardening so it fits hand in hand!

LOL, thanks everyone! He does look angry, its pretty funny. :lau Ron! Joe, thank you! I really appreciate it. It's now my avatar, I couldnt figure out how to do that. :lol:

I like the way you think, thats inexpensive and simple. Im sure my grandma would love them, dont know about the rest of my family. :lol:

Thanks for the comments everyone! Im still getting a few tomatoes actually, but they're getting pulled soon. Joe, I really appreciate your post. Its very difficult for me to find people my age interested in what I am as well. Even though 100% of my time is spent in the Ag Department at school...
