Yes Sir, I'm jerking the dill and planting more marigolds and basil tomorrow after I get some deer heads boiling.

That didn't sound right.....

I'm not judging, Oxner might...

Boil away boss man. Do yo thang

Looky what I found today! Me and ol Chelsea are gonna get along juuuust fine

Looking good Froggy.

I would take off the bottom two branches before putting them in the ground.

^^^^Plant looks a little small to be setting fruit. I'd pinch those blossoms off,there'll be plenty more coming later.But hey,that's just me.

Agree with both of ya. I’ve still got a bunch in the 4” y fer the lights. Trying to transplant what I want and give away the rest. Actually found a guy up there street who said he wanted a few. He’s gonna get a lot. lol

You real what you sow. I gave up on squash several years ago when I gave part of it to my neighbor. I hope he has better luck than I did.

x2 - those roots will be bunched up in bottom of that tiny pot - not spread out enough yet to support growth/fruit.

Nice - my family loves fresh grilled squash / zucchini - running late here, early planting hasn't/didn't come up (yet)too early or bad seed?. gonna have to try again

Jerry is on a walker. We share a tiler. He leans against it to till. Take a look at the Bermuda grass around the plant. Its not much but its the best he can do. He is retired military.

Anybody growing squash or zucchini on a trellis instead of letting it run on the ground?

I've never grown either that vined.

Maybe I’m mistaken, but I seem to remember my Grandad’s squash plants running along the ground and covering half the garden.

I put cucumbers vines on trellises.

Burn baby burn. That should give me enough wood
ash for all the vegetable gardens in Fort Bend county.

So the 2 5gal buckets of ashes I pulled from the fireplace after the big freeze . . . . I should use that with the plants?
Well kiss my grits!!! I poured them behind the barn and have plenty still

I use a big hand full along with a hand full of 13-13-13 in each hill. I havent had a single blossom end rot since I started.

You might have some luck with Epson Salts.

Tread lightly with ash. It's known as a liming agent. Meaning it raises your soil Ph. DFW areas to the south soils are typically at a soil Ph of 7+. already. You don't want to increase that. Granted we're all using potting mixes, compost, peat moss(which is acidic) etc. So you could be at a very well balanced Ph of 6-6.5 - Why would you want to raise that? Now if you're using a handful per mound like Bill is talking about he does, no biggie at all. It can be a good thing. That's not enough to move the Ph meter. It's got highly available potassium and other mircos. I'm talking about saving them all winter and just dumping pounds and pounds of it in your garden. That can do more harm than good. Everything can be good in moderation.

Derek, let’s be real here sir. You know I ain’t droppin’ anything without your say so!

Gonna make this right. I’ve felt bad ever since last week
