  • I'm impressed, buddy! You did quite well. You can still stake up those jalapenos and I would suggest that you do so, Bro. Let some of them turn red and cork up a little. They are really sweet then. Good job and cheerz back at ya.

    • @-sloop-

      Thanks Sloop!

      I'll stake up the peppers. They seem OK like they are, but so far your advice has been spot on. Next year I'll be a lot better prepared. As you know, this was a really last minute thing...

      Any ideas on the Pumpkins?

      I don't protect the tomatoes with anything. The only problem I have is with Tomato Hornworms, and I've only had 5 or 6 that I've found. Lizards and frogs seem to be taking care of everything else for me - except the corn. Looks like most of that has worms on the ends even though I did spray that.

      My ex did the opposite to me. I got the house and she got everything else - including the insurance money to rebuild the house after Hurricane Katrina.

      Oh, and regarding the pumpkins: Fu More..

      Thanks Marco! Well, it rained all day and we just came back from a Hibachi restaurant. We got everything ready for tomorrow though, while we were waiting for the rain to stop...

    • @RickBond Doesn't look good for N-O, the weather I mean (looked it up). I feel a bit guilty to say that the weather over here is perfect with a cloudless sky and 32C (90F). I keep my fingers crossed for you having the opportunity to BBQ and having a good Sunday.....

    • @p8urbyk5

      Yep, looks like if we do it at all today we'll huddle under the porch.

      Don't feel guilty, I think you were overdue for nice weather there

    • @RickBond Yeah, at last it was nice. School holidays are over tomorrow, but at least my sons had a tropical weekend for a change. Have a nice (lazy) Sunday afternoon and make the best of it, my Sunday is almost over, hehehehe........

  • Just another "grammaw" thing that I use. I put fish heads under where I am going to plant my tomatoes. I have no idea why but, my tomatoes always come out great.

  • Ive often thought about growing veg,i think the thought of fighting off pest puts me off.Not to mention all that weeding.lol

  • That's great that you're not using pesticides, but maintenance gets really hard. That's a nice garden though, I wish I had space for a garden.

    • @lucidx1

      I'm lucky in that I have "natural" pesticides: snakes, frogs, toads, praying mantis, and MANY lizards that have taken care of many of my pests.

  • Really nice job on those melons. I'm impressed. Mine all crapped out on me halfway. On the other hand, my jalapenos have already given me 2 yields and I just noticed they are almost ready for another picking.
