Use a product that the active ingredient is Spinosad. Spray your plants down with it. Works great and has a longer leaf residual than Bt.

My Lime tree ( more of a bush than a tree, it's only about 4 feet tall) is going crazy this year, it's blooming again, and has about 10 small limes coming on, picked 2 today, totals about 30 for the year. Lime juice tastes good in Tea.

It breaks down very quick under sunlight. As Spinosad breaks down much slower. Spinosad will give you 3+ weeks of effectiveness. You can't go wrong using either product. But I would apply Dipel or any other private label of Bt more often.

They spray Dipel on my pecan trees and ther are webworms free for a couple of months? My theory is that the worms do not produce moths to lay new eggs.

Made my day. Little baby pickles from volunteers in my garden. I plan to heat the Brian from a previous batch, slice the cucumber into the pickle jar and have another batch of icebox pickles. This should give hope to the ones who are now showing concern about their fall gardens.

I cheated. I simply sliced my cucumbers, packed them into my old brine, and stuck them in the microwave. More on the way and even more blooms. Cilantro anyone?

Found this.
"A study published in Medicine & Science in Sports & Exercise found that pickle juice works better than water at reducing muscle cramps. Another study showed that pickle juice could lower blood sugar spikes in healthy adults. In addition, pickle juice has a variety of antioxidants, including vitamin C and E.Sep 21, 2018 Forbes › lanabandoim › 2018/09/21"

I was plotting my revenge against Chickenman but I'm getting too old to fight the child army hell bent on avenging his death.
If you feel like bartering, I'm interested in the Jedi & Goliath seeds

Goliath was very productive. Mine out produced the Mammoths I've grown in the past by yield and size. Hoping the Jedi tops them as that's all I'm planting next year. This year was my first year growing the Hot Rod Serrano. It was insane. It produced hundreds of peppers minimum. I got tired of picking them and decided to chop it to the ground around July I think it was and see what happens. I'll see if I took pics. Well that was like feeding a Gremlin after midnight. Shoots everywhere off the main stem/branches. Fall crop was crazy. Peppers everywhere. The freezes the week killed the garden but the peepers are still. Good. I'll get some pics tomorrow prior to picking.
And we love Pecans.

Tree identification.? Alright, I know this is the gardening thread but hoping someone can chime in and I Didn’t want to start a new post for it. This tree is in the front yard. Awesome shade tree. It turns yellow over about a 2 week time period, then all the leaves fall off over a day or two.. no joke. These pics were from yesterday and half the leaves are gone this morning so thinking I’ll be raking on Saturday. The best guess I can come up with is a Kentucky Coffee Tree. However, mine appears to have been “shaped” at one time. It does produce a bean in the spring.. any thoughts? My parents are a couple others have shown interest in planting, so I’d really like to find out.
