I would. An old pair of hose would work great. Slip the melon into the open end and tie it to the cage. The hose will expand as your melon does.

Monday & Tuesday, my DH and I (yes, my DH helped :lol: ) canned 20 pints of pear butter. I reserved some of the puree to make a Gingered Fresh Pear Cake. I think I will also slice some pears for the dehydrator.

I agree with Bekissed. I don't think it's anything that would benefit you or your garden. Yank it out!!

Those look fantastic!! I can remember picking them as a child and eating as many as I put in the bucket. :lol:

I harvested my first tray Tuesday. I just scooped it out by hand and picked out the worms as I went.

Ugh! Thank goodness I don't think I've ever saw one. Those look nasty!

Hey rockytopsis, It didn't work for me either when I checked it. I don't know what happened. Here is the recipe: 10 c. zucchini, peeled & shredded 4 onions, chopped 2 green bell peppers, chopped 2 red bell peppers, chopped 1/4 c. pickling salt 2 tbsp. dry mustard 1 tbsp. garlic powder 1 tbsp...

Okey-dokey, I'll look through my photos.

What do I need to do if I want to submit a picture for picture of the week?
