Seems like for the last month it's been 3"+ every weekend with showers in between.

That will do it, you should be all right after it dries out. The calc fert should help

Thanks. This is what I did but so far, it’s only attracting hummingbirds.. haven’t seen a bee..

They are usually active 9-10 am till 3-4pm.

Ah, during the working mans hours.. guess that’s the issue..

Do you use sevin?

Like the poison? If so, no, not this year..

Yeah, it will kill bees

Dug up 212 keepers out of 17 plants.. that’s a good year with an average over 12 per plant.. I had plenty of help too!

very nice

That's one thing I miss about growing potatoes. The neighborhood kids loved to help.

Nice haul, he looks like he could be a Dennis the Menace

Thanks, he’s a mess that’s for sure

That's a good looking young man and a nice haul of taters!

This is what I shoot for. BLTs anyone?

Looks good Bill. Y’all are definitely a couple weeks ahead of us up here..

HELP
Squash started good with fruit they just never grew. Now it seems just male flowers no fruit. What should I do?
Have 5 green pepper plants grew 2 foot tall no flowers what should I do?

Your squash and peppers are most likely having a calcium issue..

Lots of ways to fix that. If you want to buy in a powder form and not effect your ph, go with bone meal. If you want to raise ph, roll with lime. If you use compost, be sure to add egg shells to it.. I’ve heard some folks using actual milk. Just YouTube your issue. Lots of ideas out there.

Oh, and be sure to remove the rotten pieces.. should take 5-7 days

First year in a long time that I didn't plant anything. Wishing I had at least planted a couple of tomato plants.

I've got to get out of this slump I'm in, since my Dad died I have stopped doing alot of the things I used to enjoy. Never thought depression could ever affect me but I think I may be wrong. Y'alls gardens are looking great.

That's how I feel, hows the fishing on Cedar Creek I was looking at a house with a dock to sit on?

I'm loaded with tomatoes.





I brought home a buttermilk chicken sandwich from McDonalds today. It had two little bitty slices of Roma tomatoes. I threw them in the garbage and added a slice that covered the entire sandwich. It's turkey, bacon clubs for the remainder of the week.

Fishing has been real good.

Starting to get a few tomatoes, jalapenos and serrano peppers.

But my wife spotted this evil bassturd:




I am a big fan of bees and try to keep the Sevin to a bare minimum...before I drown these plants in Sevin....what else should I try?

BT and hand pick them off as you find them.
