Today's haul. All tomatoes are Roma. Brown curly cues are onion tops.

Been donating excess zucchini and yellow squash to the local food bank. We have made about 6 drop offs since they started coming in. I think we are up to about 200 or 300 lbs of that donated. Corn is just coming in. Got about 10 ears off, going to be donating excess to the food bank. We...

Pulled first 4 Zucchinis out today. Thinking Friday I will be pulling a batch of Zuchs and Yellow Squash. I way over planted this year. Plan is to donate to the local food bank all excess, plus a little here and there for friends. Pulling another bag or two of lettuce tomorrow or Friday as...

NPK is easy. Buy one of those test kits and you can do pH and NPK for several seasons. As for speed, gourds, squash, tomatoes and pumpkins thrive where I'm at. Lettuce is an indoor start, but is in heavily amended soil. I should get some pics sometime.

If you start from seed, they generally don't produce the first year. I have found the best way is to plant them in a pyramid or in a long row box. Plant in spring, winter over with heavy mulching (straw and such dry fodder, this is really important in cold areas) and next year give them a...

No, I start under grow lights. I only start certain plants, some need the help, some don't. Some are much better direct sown as they do not like the transplant process. I can give you my list of what to start indoors and what to start by direct sow if you're interested. It's fairly simple to...

Very Nice!

Will do.

Only way I had success with berries is netting....good netting with no easy in's for the bird.

Very possible. He's OK though because I find dead critters after every time I see his tracks.... But I know what the current problem is. Second coon **Cough** baby bear **Cough** has been brave and good at missing the traps. I will double down and add more.... Pic 19, I...

So far I have gotten plenty of deer on cam (only posted a small fraction), fox, coyote, hawk and a bunch of unknowns. Animals I have sighted: the same plus owls. Heard fisher and seen sign of bobcat. Took care of a few problems We had a hard winter, only seen one deer (down from five...

Just found this thread. I have a few...

I kill them by the dozen. Get a decent air rifle with a scope and sharpen your shooting skills on those evil things. They will get in your attic, they will clean out a bird feeder, they will add tons of cost to feeding your chickens or guineas (my current problem)....I will kill them until...

These are coon targeted traps, they catch them alive, but they are not intended for a catch and release: http://www.amazon.com/Raccoon-Trap-Proof-Hunting-Anyone/dp/B004949EIC But for live: I have never had one get out of this...

What happened to spring? Did it not make it here yet? Got hung up out west I guess.....

Someone forgot to tell spring it's not supposed to snow 4".....

You can buy PH tests at most garden stores and easily on Amazon (Go Prime!) It's as simple as following the directions and you get a result fairly quickly. It's especially good when you want to have different PH in different beds (I.E. - Tomatoes like a slightly acidic soil. I would also...
