change the word "most " to Few and I,m with you Tim.
by the way the wife just ate the first 2 ripe tomatoes today and she said they were great! cant wait till the next time home I,ll be outside eating them maters.
and the Gorilla Sweets are really doing good, she said they have gotten bigger every day since last week, and our asparagus took really well,, cant wait till next year on them, plus the blueberries are just covered in little berries right now ripening., carrots and radishes are ready along with 3 kinds of lettuce and lots or herbs, squash and cucumbers are starting to climb the vine so they will be coming along soon also. good luck guys Tc
Most "I know" and few that you do.
I am slightly jealous as I have not planted any annuals yet.
I will plant this week and say lots of prayers. The hummer feeders go up tomorrow.
Hey Tim, the 2 apple trees I have in Wisconsin are simply loaded with flowers. Provided we have no bad weather it will be a bumper crop for sure. The small tree produces the hard, tart/sweet apple best for baking apple pies! :)Quote:

And the battle begins! :banghead:
I managed to find 5 really nice and ripe strawberries in the patch today but upon picking them I found this:

Looks like the slugs are out. I'd picked up some slug bait but I need to clear the area before I can apply it. It'll be well away from the actual plants/sort of a 'barrier' before they can get closer.
I'll let you know how the bait/killer works. It's supposed to be much better than the slug and snail bait you see in stores/like this one.
Attachment 264003
Going to plant this weekend and hope for no frost from here on out.
Attachment 264091
We have cucumbers, two types of tomato, a couple kinds of eggplant, brussels sprouts, red bell peppers, cowhorn peppers, two sriracha jalapenos, a white "devil's tongue" pepper, and a mystery pepper (old unlabeled seeds, but they sprouted!). Also going in are some seeds - beans which will be fine, squash and watermelon... not too confident there. Some strawberries getting started for next year too, and the flat chives are doing great so far this year.
Attachment 264092
No planting. High of 42f today. Weather sucks but the strawberries are growing like crazy.
This years offering. Spuds in back are raging. Got peas, beans, onions, garlic, and herbs. The sun is just starting to come out and stuff is blooming like crazy.

That is the sort of damage that not only slugs and snails cause. Many other bugs may be the culprit. That's why we grow ours in pots and have the berries hanging free.Quote:

Attachment 264186
Those look to be blue oysters. Much more flavorful in my opinion.
If you need any info/help on getting the further flushes let me know. I have grown mushrooms, especially oysters many many times
And that is one FAT flush
Awesome! It's my first time growing them, I was surprised how many and how fast! Is it ok to just cut a few off as they become larger, or do I cut them all at once in order to trigger another flush? Any advise about when and how to harvest and how to get more flushes is much appreciated. Thanks Dieseld!
Look at you guys all growing and picking stuff already :p
Finally had enough days over 60° in a row that I could turn the garden without digging in the mud
Actually went pretty fast and easy, this is the 5th year and the soil is in pretty good shape. Going to bring in a load of Manure this week and turn it in..
Attachment 264188
Attachment 264189
Hopefully I can get the plants in by the first week of June :)
Looking at the long range forecast we won't see 80° until June 27th but at least the lows are staying in the 40° 's even a few 50° 's
Now "Glen's Half Acre" is still way too wet to get the Kubota out there
I am going to change the Cultivator Tines to Sweeps next week and try and turn it, going for just rows of corn this year, I keep trying hehehe
Glen the wife is now into the 3rd week of eating fresh from the garden every day,, and tomorrow I will be too,, love me some maters,,,,, Tc

he don't need a blind they come right up to the door! Tc
You can pick them as they get ready. To me the Larger ones there are about ready. I like them when the cap is about 2 1/2-3 inches. The flavor is better at that stage. Do not let them get to mature. Once they spore you could cause yourself problems. Not only if you breath them, but that is a white rot mushroom. IF the spores get into any wood in the house, they could start colonizing it. But that's not a worry if you harvest them at the stage I mentioned.Quote:

Most blocks will give you 3-4 flushes. Then you could "seed" another block to do it again
Rub it in. Living 4 miles from Lake Michigan has kept us very cool. Maybe will plant next week.Quote:

A new "Hottest" pepper, the Dragon Breath Chili has been produced. It comes in at 2.4 Million units as compared to the 2.2 Million Carolina Reaper. I shall avoid both.
This Pepper Is So Hot It Could Literally Kill You
I just bought some bear spray this afternoon. I wonder how that pepper would work?
I would think that it would depend on how 'Spicy' he likes his humans for supper. :shrug:Quote:

It says on the label to not use it on humans..... :hmmm:
Now I want to try the Dragon Breath chili! It looks like a tiny 7-Pot chili, looks innocent enough... :hmmm:
Yea, it's tiny and looks innocent enough----:hmmm: Just like LSD----:dropjaw:Quote:

Slowly ever so slowly one man bent over and started tightening his shoe laces.
The other whispered; "Do you really think you can out run it"? The other whispered back; "Don't have to--just need to outrun you".
OK, OK! It's :OT
My seeds have been sprouting in the last week. Here's a shot of carrots. I also have Swiss chard, lettuce, spinach, and corn coming along.

My neighbors yard and I LOVE purple flowers, even thistles.

At last. Something from the garden.
You can see the little bugger top center. We have a ton of berries. Wish they would ripen.

I have no proof but I heard that my daughters dog is sneaking into the neighbors garden and stealing strawberries.....
I wonder what his diet is lacking?:shrug:
We had a dog that dug carrots out of the garden and ate them so who knows---?Quote:
