Was sick yesterday, still sick today. It's not all bad though, the sun is shining and fourteen of the fifteen garlic cloves have put out shoots. Gonna move them out of the plant bator and put in some lettuce, cabbage, celery, and onions.

My specialty is pumpkins. Here's my pride and joy from last summer.

I want to attempt a few big ones in the coming years, right now I just don't have the time to 'baby' a few pumpkins...

My normal pumpkin/squash/melon patch (as well as my regular garden and flower beds) thrive already as I till in a ton of goat and llama beans that accumulate over the winter into that patch every spring along with all the pulverized bedding straw... So I'm sure with a little attention and good seeds I could grow a monster pumpkin...

We can have a friendly weigh off at the end of summer if you ever decide to attempt a big one.

Maybe in a few years time, we are still spending time dialing in the rest of the garden area and expanding that area no time for a single devoted project...

Hey I haven't gotten anything even put out yet but I have stinkbugs invading my house! How do you get rid of these things they will decimate things at these numbers when I plant.

Google 'stinkbug traps' there are some great low cost DIY trap ideas, and keep a vacuum handy (or the catcher in the video bellow) to snatch up any one you might see...
