That's funny. It is true though. I have a zoology degree. Did honors research on box tortoises.

I should say up to 5 miles. Probably closer to 5 acres, but they still need to be able to roam

Well.. My cucumbers and one zucchini plant are all but dead. None of them produced this year. The only cucs I’ve gotten have not been good. I’m pretty sure the way I planted them may have had something to do with that. But oh well there’s always next year. So I pulled them up and tossed them in the refuse pile.

My tomatoes and pepper plants ARE doing good so I fertilized them today.

Hit your tomatoes and peppers with a sprinkle of Magnesium Sulphate (Epsom Salts). Does tomatoes and peppers good this time of year. Strengthens the stalks and some say it increases the heat in peppers.
