  1. Awwww, so sweet! A girl after my own heart!
  2. She is so beautiful, thanks for sharing her pictures!
  3. This just came across my news feed. ELK COUNTY, Pa. (WJAC) — Elk County Coroner Michelle Muccio announced one person died today from an accident Tuesday at the Greentree Landfill in Fox Township, Elk County. Muccio said a 56-year-old man was trapped between the back of a tractor trailer and a tipping device just after 3:00 p.m. She said the man was pronounced dead at the scene at 5:36 p.m. Muccio said the cause of death is blunt force crush injuries to the lower abdomen.
  4. Did you do anything special to not have seen Japanese beetles? Every year we're inundated with them, I'm not a violent person, but when it comes to beetles, those disgusting horn worms, snakes and anything NE Patriot.....I just get the urge to hit something
  5. Just an update on this year's garden, our tomatoes not good at all. And we've got one pepper out of 4 dozen planted. The cukes, green and wax beans, squash, beets, kohlrabi, turnips, onions and cabbage did great. I was worried at the beginning because something cut off one cabbage plant, but I kept putting crushed eggshells around them and saved the rest of them.
  6. Doesn't it seem that every year there's a new threat, I hate it. One of my best friend's son is an entomologist, the bug world is creepy to say the least.
  7. We do it all and make sure to rotate every year, always have. It's just stumping us!
  8. Lol, we just had them today with home made pesto, we absolutely love them! Back to the garden, everything but the peppers look great and are doing well. I'm just so puzzled about the peppers because for over 30 years, not one problem except before the electric fence, the deer loved to munch them. We used to give away 4 - 5 bushels every year after I made spaghetti sauce, pickled peppers, peppers in sauce, pepper relish, sub peppers, stuffed hot sausage peppers that we froze for the winter and I know I'm forgetting some things.... Now two years in a row they're terrible, frustrating!!!
  9. We've done the soil tests and all was well. We fertilize every year, so we're stumped. Two years in a row after so many years of beautiful pepper plants. I've read everything I can find and still can't figure it out.
  10. Soooo, once again looking for advice. We've had a garden at our home since we bought it 30 years ago. Some years things go well, some years not so well. One thing that always, always did well was peppers. I usually plant 6 different varieties. Last year was terrible and this year is a repeat. Anyone else having pepper problems? TIA
  11. Thank you for sharing Bon, it was just beautiful!
  12. I am sorry to be constantly asking for advice and tips, but every year I seem to be finding new things that I want to learn about. So, I started planting cabbage made 7-8 years ago and I had heard about sprinkling egg shells around the base to prevent cut worms, slugs, whatever. It's always worked. I just finally got the rest of the garden planted on 6/4. I did the sprinkling of the egg shells, I checked today and two were cut right off at the base??? Any ideas on what would cross the egg shells and do this? Thanks so much! Oh and so far, the eggplant and kohlrabi that are in the same raised bed are okay.
