Turn some hogs in on it. They like the roots and they will break it up for ya.

looks great Payne The wifey is a little upset I didn't plant all her different lettuce's this winter!

As warm as it is staying you could probably still plant lettuce, Damon. Accuweather is still not showing a freeze in the next 15 days. I'm going to get some turnip seeds and more lettuce seeds just to give it a try. My mustard greens, lettuce, swiss chard and collard greens took a hit from aphids, but I put out some Dipel dust and I think they are gonna be ok.

Thanks, had coleslaw for lunch.

How long are you leaving the dispel dust on for?

My sprinkler system washed most of it off yesterday. It had been on the plants for 4-5 days. I did some looking at the plants and the aphids all appeared to be dead. I will keep a close watch and reapply if needed.

I do the same, I was just wondering.

Y'all are aware that there are grocery stores still in existence right?

True, but I enjoy gardening. A dollar package of various seeds is way cheaper than buying vegetables in the store. Being able to pluck a vine ripe tomato off the vine and eating it fresh is amazing.

Great idea. I coincidentally picked up some feeder hogs yesterday.

Thanks, Payne

You're welcome.

What is in the pics?

Dang thats a good turnout

Jalapenos, serranos,cayennes,ghost peppers, green beans, bell peppers and lots of tomatoes. I don't have any pics of the swiss chard, mustard greens, collard greens, okra, purple hull peas and various herbs.

dang, how big is your garden?

About 40'X20'. It's just a backyard garden.

A couple of girls had a rough morning..

Why don't you start buying all your meat there? It's a lot cheaper than hunting.

I would never want to figure out how much venison costs per pound.

This is my first run at a garden. Here are a few pics from this spring/summer.








I have replanted for fall/winter crops and will post pics soon.

Nice job phat

Looks good Phat. What kind of potting/planting mix did you use?

When we built the house I was trying to start a yard, being an old baseball coach.... I can grow grass...

One day while watering, overseeding, fertilizing, etc, my father in law told me I was doing it all wrong.

He said if you want to grow bermuda grass, plant cotton.

Seriously, I am dying to start a greenhouse. I tilled small plots this past weekend, and plowed corn/okra/bean ground again.
