What a wonderful idea for drying garlic. I may have to borrow that one.
I would surely share if you were closer. But south Louisiana and Washington state are a bit far to travel. Funny thing is my tomato vines look...
Thank You, At least we will have plenty of tomatoes canned for winter. Last year blight got our tomato plants and they didn`t do very well. Just...
If you wash them do it immediately after taking them from the soil. Then they are still damp from the dirt, then hang to dry. Do not add water...
I know I complain about the Texas grass and weeds that grow faster than I can pull. But I swear I will never fuss again. With the heat and...
I have got to try this one. I have tomatoes coming out my ears and plenty of fresh basil.
For one thing the wire mesh you are using has holes big enough that they can crawl through. You need the mesh that is commonly used here for...
Salt would do it but it would also go into the soil killing anything close to it.
Not as far as I know but I haven`t tried them either. I think that they have to be grown from seed. There is a good little tutorial on starting...
With those readings the PH cannot be the problem. Its darn near perfect for tomatoes at 6.0 to 6.5. Look at the fertilizer again, I do not...
KK, if you can find one of the little beasties, try sprinkling a mix of 50/50 flour and baking soda around it and see what happens. Do they ignore...
I would sure check to be sure. Is your local soil acidic? If so then your compost could be as well. Let us know what the PH test shows.
First of all don`t use peat moss. It is highly acidic and can kill plants easily. Its great for blueberries but not tomatoes and tender plants of...
Unless its pitch black that should not kill them either. You would be surprised at what filters through the clouds.
I don`t think temperature is your problem. Here in Texas we can plant at 50 degrees, and like I said before, they do not grow much till the...
All of your produce looks great. Funny, you mentioning tomatoes as I was just complaining about having too many. I hope yours are as prolific as...
Even the bacon and egg breakfast can be healthy. Try turkey bacon or just drain the regular bacon well on a couple of layers of paper towels....
In fact we do have many buntings in our part of Texas. But its not them,,they are too small and a much brighter blue than these.
Yes, I checked on all birds of North America that are blue. None fit these except bluebirds. The variations were so slight that most would not...
Yes they have returned although they are not nesting. Seems that they are not as fond of the box now. Perhaps the other birds were not good...
