I spent some time cleaning my garden yesterday. Should pick my first 3 tomatoes and cucumbers today. Also picked a couple more zucchini. Other than a couple SVB eggs, I’ve noticed no pest issues yet. I think this is the longest I’ve ever gone without having to spray neem or something more seriou...
They’re hard to come by. I’ve found a few on Facebook marketplace but have paid a premium for them. Pigeon people are weird. Don’t tell them about the dogs hah. ...

Picked the first vegetables today. A bit later than last year but things are starting to come on quickly. Peppers are absolutely loaded. Tromboncino squash (I've started calling it dick squash) are fruiting and flowering. I've got 3-4 big beefs blushing and I will probably be picking some cucumbers ...

I've got some big beef tomatoes starting to blush and will be picking squash tomorrow. Also have some cucumbers starting to get some length. I saw my first vine borer eggs on the squash yesterday so that's a pain. I'll need to start dusting the vines here shortly. I got my irrigation mainlines run y...

I may be a little confused, but you want to leave a TV outside exposed to the elements without covering it? If that's the case, I don't think it matters what you buy. It's not going to last long. ...

I don't think that's fert burn. Just looking at your other plants - were they all planted at the same time? Those other peppers look a lot more healthy. ...

I planted three last year in partial shade in my front woods. They just leafed out an seem to be doing well so far. I'm sure it'll be a few years before they fruit though. The trees are young and lanky. ...
I have the Mustang HIT inflatable. I use it anytime I'm on my boat by myself and all the time during hunting season. It's comfortable and doesn't inflate because of spray/rain. Expensive, but worth it....

I keep my indeterminates to 2-3 main vines starting 1-2’ up. Prune all the rest of the suckers. The exception here would be the cherries. I just kinda prune them for airflow. I prune the determinates and dwarf varieties for airflow. I did my first real pruning on my plants today. Cleaned up ...

I don’t prune peppers. I prune suckers on cucumber vines to keep them under control. ...

Here are some current photos. I need to side dress this weekend. Knock on wood, but no pest problems yet. Everything is looking good. I don't have any plans this weekend during the days, so I'm going to try to side dress and prune the tomatoes some. My cherry tomatoes are overwhelming the Florida we...

I had all day events both days this weekend so I didn't spend too much time fooling with my garden. Things are looking good though. I've got a few cherry tomatoes starting to turn and my squash plants are starting to flower - just female flowers though. Need some male flowers so they can pollinate. ...
