lol. I think the Lemon Starburst changed Bullfrogs life. It's all he talks about. Last year was my first year growing Chocolate Habs. They were awesome and a very high producer. Either of these 2 will change your life.

Onions and potatoes are going strong. Probably another 5 weeks based on history.. doing mostly reds with a couple golden potato plants and have been averaging 10-12 potatoes per plant. 2nd year doing onions and would guess I got a “store quality” size every 4th one planted. 1/2 are 1015s and others are yellow. Got some buds on bell pepper plants and tomato plants but not photo worthy yet.

Can one of you geniuses tell me why these small cucumber plants keep wilting and the leaves turning white? She replaced several that looked horrible this weekend and the new ones are starting to do the same thing already. Everything else looks great but the cucumbers are most definitely not happy for some reason.

Sounds like transplant shock. Cucurbits are notorious for it. I would mulch around them to keep soil temps warm. Water the area with blackstrap molasses at a rate of 2-3oz per gallon. Molasses will get the microbes going helping to increase soil temps and it's known to increase root mass. The whiting of the leaves could be sun burn of them not being hardened off. The overcast next few days should help. As fadetoblack64 mentioned. Fungus can move in pretty quickly, especially when we hit these 90deg days and 60's nights. The one thing working in our favor right now is the humidity has been low. I would start rotating 2 different fungicides. Something like Daconil and Serenade would be a good combo.

Stevarino- those are awesome raised beds. Thanks. The whole plot is 16x16, but made the letter “E” so that I can walk between the beds. So 2 walkways, 3 long beds, and one on the back. Plenty of room to walk around and work every square inch

My tomatoes are showing a little fruit but not enough for pictures. Maybe another week.

MolesWhat would be safe to actually use IN the garden to kill moles, or keep them away? Mole poison Victor This is what I use to catch and kill them. I walk down the runs and then find the active ones and set the traps. I have eliminated them from our yard and garden. It is amazing how 1 or 2 moles can tear a place up. Mole Trap

You boys are way ahead of me, but only been planted for 2 weeks because I had to start over. But corn, carrots, squash, and zucchini are coming in nicely. Jalapeños, 3 types of tomatoes, Romain lettuce, and all color bell peppers are starting to peak through the ground. In the corner there I have some zombie garlic plants that made it through all of our freezes and are coming back with the spring weather.

While in the fire service we had use of a house donated to us for training because it was going to be torn down a few days later. Pulling ceiling I notice some PVC up there. Turned out the entire attic had a drip irrigation system throughout and several outlets wired in. It must have had quite an impressive hidden grow up there at one time. Of course I am sure it was just for medicinal purposes.

Question for you pepper experts. How do the red habanero peppers compare to the "normal" orange habaneros? Heat level, growth, production? I saw red habanero plants at HEB tonight, almost bought one, but wanted to ask the pepper experts here first. A quick google search seems to show a couple different varieties that are red, is there a way to tell which one it would be? I think they were just labeled with a generic "red habanero pepper", but will have to look closer.
