The pollen has been horrendous this year. Maybe that's why they're wearing one.

And what's it to you anyway? MYOFB maybe.

I am going to start picking green beans tomorrow or the next day. I can't believe they are already producing.

I was out in the rain and chilly wind for an hour trying to get everything covered. With the ridiculous wind and storms last night, I didn't sleep a wink worrying about my garden being destroyed.

As soon as my flag and bearded irises started blooming, the storms come and kick their butts. :angry:

yes, those primrose WILL take over. I love them, but had to get rid of them all.

Have any of you had luck with tomatillos? I tried one years ago and it didn't do squat. This year, I am trying seeds. Any advice on growing them?

Have any of you gone to Dollar Tree and gotten the plant cloches? They are really cool, and have an open/close vent on the top. I use them every year because our weather is so iffy. As soon as you transplant, you know it will turn cold. :angry:

Pillage, is it too late to add the calcium nitrate?

A squirrel will eat anything: lawnmower wiring, lead plumbing boots, chain link fence ties, the molded characters from my granddaughter's fairy garden, anything you are fond of, those bastards will eat. I'd suggest feeding them some lead. Or a grenade. :lol:
Give her a long hug and tell you will always love her and be there for her. Time will heal the hurt, even if it doesn't feel that way.

Look for ground movement at dawn and dusk. Dig up mole and stomp the crap out of it. I have tried EVERYTHING to no avail except stomping them to death.
Has anyone done this? I am leery of driving on unpaved roads in unfamiliar territory. What am I to expect?
My husband and I each have one. Got them 2 years ago and still spend at least an hour in them every day. Best. Thing. Ever,
We appreciate you, Josh. Thanks for being a true LSU Tiger. You will be sorely missed.

We will still be pulling for you every Sunday! :bow: :geauxtigers:

If you are in a mid-life crisis, you should wait until that phase passes before making any decisions. That is sound advice that I wish I would have told myself. Making a stupid decision or two gave me 30 years of misery.

Who is this Tiger Stomp person?
If you have brought plants in from outside, they are probably coming from there.

re: 2024 Fall Garden Thread

Not much of a setup. I have a corner in my yard that is shaded and stays moist with a very small bit of dappled sunlight. I have smaller logs leaned up against my privacy fence. The larger ones are in a 8 X 6 mesh enclosure to keep the squirrels and chipmunks away. I have them set up vertically and 6 - 8 inches apart along the perimeter. I put a layer of cardboard on the ground, and mesh on top of the perimeter also to keep the falling leaves out.

I have about 24 logs total, but it is just for personal use. I had only 10 logs this year and added 14 more in December and this month. I saved a few shiitake and lion's mane plugs and inoculated some grow bags with them so I have some mushrooms while I am waiting for my logs to colonize.
