I have 4 garden spots. I try to only water the plants directly that I am growing to keep the weeding labor down. 7 hours ago, RandyH000 said: fertilizer , or just the area -soil you're in- The other areas that I have plants are doing great. The barnyard needs nothing more than water. I planted in that area on 6/18. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rich soil ,we cant get seeded watermelons anywhere , and they definitely taste way better than the unseeded -- I googled it for this answer Seedless watermelons are triploid, This renders them sterile, which of course means no seeds to pick out. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldtimer Posted July 28, 2020 Share Posted July 28, 2020 We get them here. They have been running about a dollar more than seedless. Well worth it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Woofers and Tweeters Posted July 30, 2020 Author Share Posted July 30, 2020 Last Thursday, I took this picture: Today, this is my little friend: I went for week hauling water to the gardens. I tried to make sure to no over or under water them and side towards making the roots look for water. It rained a few days ago and rained all day today...and is to rain for two more days. Now I am worried that some of the produce will get too much water. Planted on 6/18, grabbed it today. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Woofers and Tweeters Posted August 12, 2020 Author Share Posted August 12, 2020 Had to take a picture and lol at the offerings at a local store. I'm having real problems with raccoons eating my ripe tomatoes. I have a wire cage out and for the past two nights, the bait is gone and the trap is still set. I have often said that raccoons are smart enough to pick a combination lock. They might be letting themselves out of the trap and resetting it, just to mess with me. What do you all do about your raccoon problems? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everything from wild cats, coyotes, raccoons, possums, killer rabbits... nothing had a chance. She is old, can't hear and sleeps a lot now days. I need to get another dog, it will be tough to have another one this good. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She still follows me to the shop and finds out where I need to work so she knows what path to block. I am far enough from any roads or train tracks that she'll have to count on me to make it painless.. for her. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Woofers and Tweeters Posted August 18, 2020 Author Share Posted August 18, 2020 Finally ... I put 25 tomato plants out for my mom and another 25 tomato plants in my garden. I have lost more than 100 tomatoes due to my selfish thieving neighbors. If I see the masked bandits while making nightly rounds, they will be shot. It will be best if they let me relocate them. They have eaten the bait several times. It's like they know to not go inside. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The sneaky ba$*^# were reaching in the case and taking the bait. Making them go inside for the crack marshmallow has worked, so far. 15 hours ago, JJkizak said: I got/ate blackberries from my woods. Does that count? JJK Yes. I need to learn more about what I can eat that grows naturally here. Some raspberries, lots of blackberries, plenty of poke. There are so many mushrooms here that I could trip on them every day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
