Hey Steve,

You can always borrow one of SSG's extention ladders to grow vines on !!

 

lol i dont think eric would like that much lol..

 

My dad had bean vines all through them last year before I relized it.
Tried to untangle it one day when I needed one of the ladders, ended up driving down the road with vine hanging all off it.

 

Dude, that's 100% Aragona right there

 

lol... some how im not surprised at that...

 

Got a feeling that 1500 acres is field corn? Tastes a lot different than sweet corn.
Corn up here is only about 8-10 inches high. "Knee high by the 4th of July" is our standard. Got some tough tomato plants tho. One was about 6" high when I ran smack dab over it with the F350. Squashed it good. Two weeks later, you'd never know it. Looks as good as it's companions..

When seconds count, the police are only minutes away. - modern adage.

I think I have one hella good idea for a sevin dust spreader, I'm going to make it out of a two liter soda pop bottle.

I plan to drill a half inch hole in the bottom of the bottle close to one of the sides, then drill a 3/8's inch hole in the cap and screw in a section of threaded steel tube with a nut on both sides. That size and thread tube will fit on an air nozzle as a replacement tip and I'll try different air pressures until it blows right - 40 PSI ought to be safe.

The bottle can be filled with sevin using a funnel and should have a wide spread without blowing up.

*NOTE: Similar cap can be used for improvised fireworks on the fourth of July by screwing on an un-drilled bottle, and connecting the hose to the compressor at a full 150 PSI!!! The difference is you screw in an air chuck to connect at the end of a long air hose. Once it's laid out you plug it in at the compressor and KABOOM!!! I bet some flour in the bottle would make it even more impressive, it's the closest thing to a real M-80 from back in the day and they are CHEAP! (we used to do this to anti-freeze bottles)

*On slow days, when we spun up bearings with an air nozzle to race them across the lot if no one was looking...

*"Should we check the compressor?" Used to mean "Let's go burn one at the side of the shop". The seventies were a wierd time for me. I don't much care who knows it, since the NAVY already does.

 

Well your right it is.. As is used for feeding the cattle...But with that said..if you watch it real close...there's about a 3 day spread...that you can pull it off the stock...and boil and eat it..and it just as sweat as Silver queen Corn ! after that it turns into rocks... But if it blanched and frozen..it not bad at all..

I got a late start on my maters this year.. and with all this damn rain..the lower leaves were dying off at a rapid pace...the ground is still soaked...But I think they may live ? the maters are about the size of half dollars right now with no root rot as of yet? So we'll see what happenshere in the next couple of weeks..

 

Okey dokey - here's the new patch. Everything is just now beginning to "VINE" like it should - I'm keeping an eye on which direction they go in. The mellons should come in at +25 pounds each

The second picture is from the first (or 'WEST') garden, it's a new Pumpkin forming up.

I've never grown veggies that got this big before!!! I harvested three zuchini just this morning that were about two to three pounders. Two of them filled a two quart pot after they were cleaned and sliced. THE GROCERY STORE is in the yard...

And it isn't even JULY quite yet, man!!!

 

We just noticed these today

 

No cukes this year

None last year either. . .dunno why, this year they got first run of buds and turned yellow and died. . .replanted, turned yellow and died just as they flowered

o well. . .getting squash out of the garden the size of nerf footballs though And just on schedule. . .vine borers. . .and with the humidity, powdery mildew

spent 2 years fighting this stuff, just letting it roll this year. . .figure I got a month of careful pruning, then just pull it up for an early collards crop!

Ha! Tomatoes are doing fine! Cherries are delicious right off the vine, nice and tangy. . .makes it all worth while

Watch those melons, if you keep em watered they grow huge and fast! And will take over that whole patch

 

That's what I heard, but like I's sayin' this is the first time I've grown them.

Got a Zuke in the west patch right now big around as a ball bat! I want to get at least one of everything big/mature enough to get seeds from for next year. I wonder if zuchini changes color when it ripens.

 

What you all using to discourage pests? We're sprinkling lime on all the leafy plants ...cabbage,cauliflower, cucumbers, potatoes, etc. Seems to be working so far.


The Supreme Court of the United States Held:
1. The Second Amendment protects an individual right to possess a firearm unconnected with service in a militia, and to use that arm for traditionally lawful purposes....

 

I never thought of using lime - I've got several bags of it left over from a mortaring project.

Steve - I've been spoiling my plants by watering them every day around sundown.
