    Big Mahalos for the links and info🤙 The first time with the dyno I had it set up in the run and under a rain tarp. I used the bait and kept the trap in. No squeetos in the tray or not much but plenty in the yard buzzing and biting. I think desperation made me set it up a second time about a...

    Im still cautiously working on my fall garden in my new beds. They get sun from 7-4 and our temps have not dropped below 86° yet. But i can see my micro climate happening!! Absolutely awesome.

    I had no luck with the dyna the first time I used it. Not sure why. Plugged it in again 6-12 months later and it has worked well ever since. Also purchased a few zappers at 1/4 the cost of the dyna. All worked themselves out of a job for awhile. Thanks for the good tip a few years ago. Do you...

    More wicking beds and some cheap fancy metal beds from Amazon. Since they wont be wicking beds, I filled them with cardboard, shredded paper, bunch of logs, mulch and more mulch. I picked up 3- 3.6 cubic ' of Pro potting soil and a couple of bags of compost. Time to switch gears and get the...

    That storm was wild. Yes, Nebraska is not for everyone... lol. Glad the creatures did okay and clean up is manageable for the humans. Most all stayed safe and just another day in paradise 😬👍

    My tomatoes will start producing again after the worst of the heat. I read that the pollin dries out with too much heat and humidity. After the heat passed, I had an established plant ready and able. I now like to let my plants over winter or over summer for a second season myself.

    This is embarassing to write. I have been growing amaranth for years. This morning is the first time I actually cooked and ate it. It was awesome with eggs. Enjoying a huge harvest of starfruit. Made starfruit jam for the first, second and third time. Also cleaned and froze 2 gallons of fruit...

    What variety dragon fruit do you have? Mine (red-red) are not even budding yet. I had to restart my yellow and just got some cuttings of white that strangely did not take. Gorgeous photos!

    "Wicking containers have a reservoir at the bottom that holds water. A wicking material, like fabric or a porous material, extends from the reservoir up into the soil, allowing water to travel upwards through capillary action, providing a consistent supply of moisture to the plant roots." ☝️This...

    What did you do in the garden today?

    Oh thank you! Dealing with our dry hot summers makes it challenging with the sandy loam. Better if I can get the big stuff established to protect the little stuff and that is pretty much where I am now- just letting it go for a bit. Are you originally from Malaysia? Are you in the city? How does...
