:lau Steve, I said (in parentheses) I had grown other veggies too! :D The squirrels didn't mess with the potatoes, the beetles did. But they sure got every single ear of corn, lil devils that they are. And these are the tree squirrels too. We have a bad habit of feeding them, I can't help...

I miss seeing the robins....since I've lived in Florida, I've only seen them twice. Two years ago, (dead of winter) an entire flock graced our little acre or so for two days. We fed and watered them, then they were gone. This year I saw two. I guess we are just not on their normal path when...

Congratualtions Jojo! :lol:

My Natchez blackberries already have berries on them, and it is also the first year. Not a lot, but definitely berries. :)

Wow! They really made a mess of your poor potatoes! I had tried my hand at potatoes a few years back (actually an entire garden with all kinds of veggies) Between the squirrels and the bugs, I was almost wiped out. I was so dismayed, I had my husband build me an enclosed garden. Now no bugs, no...

Our Big Lots doesn't carry any fruit trees that I know of. But hubby drives by a much bigger and nicer one a few times a week. I'll have to have him look and see if they carry some...

Really that many Hoodat? Ugh, glad I started my own this year, that's a lot of poisons.

TY for recipe! These look great!

I didn't do a good job at all with my first try at seriously growing tomatoes, and ended up using the velcro tape/strapping they sell at Home Depot. It is doing well right now, but I don't expect it to hold this summer when we get tropical storm winds. By then, these tomato vines will be spent...

No Dace, I'm kind of new to 'maters myself, but have did some research on other sites from some tomato 'sages,' if you will; and they said 3 was minimum, 5 was fgood. I already had a bunch of 3 gallon pots. I do have to water a lot, as I mentioned, and I think it's from pot size. But the benefit...

Mine are all in containers too, 3 gallon pots, and bearing like crazy. They are fed once a week, and given Miracle Gro tomato fert, just a bit weakened. My plants are so healthy, I just made a post an hour ago asking about cutting the tops, they are so big and rambuctious that I can no longer...

Evening all, I read somewhere a few months back of a guy whose tomatoes had overtaken their space, so he began cutting off/topping them. My question to those more experienced with tomatoes than I (and that would be many of you, lol) is this. Will the plant continue to produce more flower buds...

I've been reading that what happens is the soap is able to penetrate their exoskeletons, thus breaking down their bodies. It's a slow and painful death, especially to harder bodied insects, that's why I felt so badly that I hit a few spiders. :( ANd yes, I don't want to lose any leaves, so I...

That is a nice project! What are you growing? Did I miss that part? I know you listed a bunch of veggies, but just wondered what you'd started with, or if it was all listed. ;)

Read that link Thistle, thanks. I was able to propagate about 6 of 10 cuttings of arborvitae this year, of course not an X-Mas tree, but worth noting. I hope your white pines do well, and you keep posting pics to let us see their progress.

Thanks for posting this question, and love the replies. I end up with some wood ash too, and really thought good to such sandy soil as I have. But it's already alkaline. Aren't there enough trace nutrients in it to go ahead and cause me benefit to use on my soil? I need ANYthing to help build...

Well, I tried the 1/2 and 1/2 alcohol mixture (w/water) yesterday. This morning, although many were gone, there were enough for me to go ahead and ask you. I agree, blasting them them with pure water definitely helps, but if they've already made their webbings, it's harder to cut them loose. So...

I think great price. I never see them for 3.29. Cheapest I've ever found was 5.00, and down here I have to order mine (grapes) via internet, so by the time they are done with me, it's about 25.00 for a couple of plants you guys thankfully only pay about 10.00 for. But I am happy for you, just...

That's awesome! I have some small berries of 'Tribute' starting, but am picking most off so I can get mine established first. This is their first year. How old are yours?

Here's the sequence of my first blooming NOID of the year. April 6th, early morning, 2011 Same flower, that morning April 7th, 2011, morning Same flower, this morning So this one looks like a white. It may change a bit more this evening, but I doubt it as we're getting hit with about 89...
