Someone posted this to my FB and I thought about this thread

I'm experimenting w/ peppers in a more shaded area this year, seeing if that helps at all.

krcote, does putting the squash in the buckets keep the squash bugs (either the stinky ones or the boring ones) from attacking your squash? And does it increase your problems w/ powder mildew?

Just got back from the cuke jungle. It and the zuch plant w/ leaves big enough to make me a skirt were hiding the cukes, I got a wal-mart sac full and that was leaving the medium and smaller on the vine!!!!! It isn't even what I was thinking would be my main cuke crop, it was from a 20 cent...

Thanks Nankat, should I pinch off the flowers before they set fruit then???

Are these plants tomitillo's and ground cherry????? These are growing where I put tomatillo seeds and these are growing where I planted ground cherries, but both could just be weeds I don't know????

Danger of frost!!!!!! It is the last day or two of MAY!!!!!!

My first pepper harvest of the year, I'm so excited about how the peppers are doing this year, my first ever success w/ bells.

Here are a few pics from this week Bell pepper close to being ready to pick Beans, marigold, tomatoes, sweet potatoes This will be the summer run for the chickens, it is to the east of the coop so it will be well shaded w/ the building and w/ the trellis I've put in. The chickie...

What about putting window screening over the dirt, just cut a hole out for the plant stems?

I have recent pics but I don't square foot garden or even raised bed, do you still want me to post them?

Quote: That will be a very interesting comparison. How are your potatos doing? Have you harvested any yet? Yeah, I know this was from page #4 and you'all have forgotten all about the conversation. The post from 6chickens in St. Charles reminded me about it. I planted three potato bags...

6 in St Charles, I'm so jealous of all the green!!! We are in the middle of a record breaking heatwave / drought, our whole summer has been brown and crunchy. I am just the oposite though my veggies and garden come first then if I get around to it the flowers. I would like to do more "pretty...

Quote: It is a close reletive to quinoa or amarynth (can't remember which) and yes, the small new leaves taste best. If you save seed for whichever of those two it is related to you should keep weeding it b/c it can cross pollinate and ruin the seeds for replanting (not eating though)

6chickens in St. Charles : http://www.mnn.com/food/healthy-eating/stories/lambsquarter-wild-spinach-in-your-yard here's one internet reference to wild spinach. I went out in my nightgown and robe to take these pictures, LOL! Hope nobody caught me, its pretty early Saturday morning...

6chickens in St. Charles : Quote: Funny you should ask, I have a book by John Kallas PhD called Edible Wild Plants and I have been eating wild spinach out of my garden, wherever it grows. It is milder than the dark green spinach we're used to growing, less sweet. Also, we've been eating...

Does anyone have any suggestions for a non bolting MILD tasting green? I grew spinach mustard this year and it was phenominal!!!!!! 110 degree days and not a bolt at all (actually I think it is bienial and incapable of bolting) I highly recommend it if you like a moderate taste to your greens...

Quote: Awesome!

Quote: We've had your share here in OK, it's been over 100 for most of June and all of July and very little rain some places not any.

I am planting for fall. Over the past month or so I've been planing out late summer, and winter squash, I'll finish that up today. On July 15th I put out 3 beds of 3 sisters w/ merit (germinated the best), serindipity (germinated the worst), tender treat, and peaches and cream corn, southern...
