Veggie Tales - May 2017
Comments (391)Wow everyones pictures are A+++! Sloan those peanut plants are so cool and Isgen continues with the seed catalog worthy radishes! Lots of good predators too, its a shame the toad had to go but you win some you lose some. Adding to the predator theme with less photographic evidence: I found a mangled rabbit in the back yard the other day... my first thought was fox but I think there was too much meat left on the bones. More likely one of the neighborhood cats fooling around. Hopefully the other rabbits get the hint (there are so many around this year). I also saw two different mantises yesterday on my potato plants. Its the first that I've seen them since releasing (admittedly I haven't really looked specifically for them, these ones just caught my eye). One was eating what looked like a small gnat. Both of them had probably tripled in size - they were about 1 1/2 inches long. Crappy video - I think it takes youtube a while to get HD: I continue to procrastinate on fertilizing the garden... missed a chance to incorporate some dry material yesterday (we got a nice drenching rain last night). Tomatoes could probably use it. A good bit of my onions look like they are starting to bulb up...should I try to feed them one more time or let them go? My peppers just look like they are asking for the warmer weather to start and the soil to dry up a bit. ETA - My 4 y.o. son was pulling out some new books last night for us to read together and guess what his favorite one was? --- Veggie Tales - God Loves Us All!...See MoreVeggie Tales - May 2020
Comments (528)I guess I need to look for a replacement for Yellow Pear tomatoes. We've been growing them for 25 or 30 years. I always thought they had a taste closer to a beefsteak tomato than the cherry tomatoes of the day. And they were OP and we always saved our seeds for the following year. My neighbors boy who was 5 last year likes those the best of all the tomatoes I grow. He likes to pick them and pop them in his mouth. Yesterday I finished digging up the patch I'm working on, about 6'X7' or so. I planned to put in cucumbers and beans and never got to either. Was exhausted. Now I'm thinking I need to go back to the planning stage on the beans to give them more separation. I have pole snap, wax, haricot verts, and Sieva, and Christmas lima beans. And bush french filet beans to go in where the peas are now. edit to add pole haricot verts. I decided to grow the bush french filet beans where the lettuce is now in the old garden....See MoreVeggie Tales >>> December 2023
Comments (12)I have 2 gardens 100 miles apart. One in central OK , the other in eastern OK' I already posted pics of my central OK garden last month , the greens tunnel: My other garden in the eastern part of the state Ok: Shogoin turnips in the foreground., some replantings of more turnips , onions and other greens through my hot dry fall. , some toasted cowpeas after my first hard freeze. Spring planted collard patch in the back that survived the dry heat and grass hoppers through the summer/fall. In front is fall onions to the right ,garlic to the left and a short row of spinach in between. Purple Top turnips in front , behind is more fall onions and repeated replantings of turnips both left and right. Empty spaces are failed plantings of spinach , collards , kale , mustard.( because of dry heat and grasshoppers throughout my fall there). I was wanting to put a low tunnel through here but with repeated replantings things got spread out where I didn't want them , didn't get the greens mix that I wanted anyway. You can really see the effects of low sun angle on these plantings. I had a hard time with fall plantings in the east garden because of dry heat and grasshoppers and only being there on weekends (I have to drive a 100 some miles to it every weekend). It's my belated parents garden that I try to keep going. my central OK garden is doing better , am in the process of putting up low tunnels over it , ( if the winds will let me ).

Comments (7)Happy new gardening year! It was a green December around here, we only got one snow that lasted a couple days before it was melted off. Rain otherwise. Rather uncanny. But it has turned properly colder now. Got no idea what's going on in the caps, haven't opened them. The rest of the yard looks like it's still sleeping. Been lots of small birds flocking about in the last couple weeks, but there seems to be a bit less ground rodent activity than the usual for now. Sitting on a bunch of wild wintersowing seed since it's been so nice out, so probably won't sow till late this month or into the next. Indoors has been some microgreens and a couple rounds of germination testing. I had some trouble last year with squash and melon and wasn't sure if it was due to the seed. I haven't gotten fresh in a while. So tests before sending off seed orders- just a couple smaller ones this year....See Morevgkg Z-7 Va
