I wonder what ever happened to hats. seems in the old days everyone had a hat of some sort. Not so much nowadays except for baseball caps.

http://www.shrinkpictures.com/ Try that link Marine4. I find it the easiest to use. just check 600 pixels and quality best and then upload. Of course it only does one at a time.

Nice pics Marine4. I have a couple of family I am assuming well only one family member in the top photo. . Took a couple pics a few minutes ago of them.

Wow that was good video. I enjoyed it. Thabks Petee

I read this story before and found it vey interesting. In the end we will all find out the truth.

Sorry Rockton Bigfoot has been exposed as a hoax as I posted before. Just a guy in an ape suit who likes to run across the road every now and then.

While I think there may be a Sasquatch somewhere in the world possibly the Rockton Bigfoot on the other hand only comes out when he has a few beers in him and shakes off the dust from the suit.

From the maps it could 6A or 5B seems we are in a big circle on the link below. http://www.plantmaps.com/interactive-pennsylvania-usda-plant-zone-hardiness-map.php The pic came from this link. http://www.gardeningknowhow.com/planting-zones/pennsylvania-planting-zones.htm Zone 5b I always thought but it could be 6A 15801 Du Bois, Pennsylvania USDA Hardiness Zone: Zone 6a: -10F to -5F PlantMaps Hardiness Zone: Zone 5b: -15F to -10F Days Where Temp Exceeds 86

We spent many a night playing up there as kids and never seemed scary to me but then it was in my backyard and we were used to all the noises and sometimes silence. That was 35 odd years ago. We used to read all the gravestones and try and find the oldest one. when you turn up the drive on the left is old gravestones covered with brush. I do not know if they have cleaned this area up but I am sure there are some of the oldest headstones there. If you go past the cemetary towards the water tanks(tank now) before there used to be two there is some awesome blackberry hunting. I would be willing to go up there some evening and spend sometime to check on the orbs.

We used to camp out up there when we were kids not on the graves but just beside Beulah cemetary.

I agree

A good idea.

Sorry for your loss Bridget and Polo.

Is there a website. I have looked but cannot find one.

Yes they reccomended oil sprays and isecticidal soap.

I will try that Petee. It is probably a little to late now.

Update I just got my results back from Penn State and my pepper plants have Broad Mites

Didn't get a chance on friday to take them in. I will try tomorrow as I will be up early. Although i just some others that arent wilted yet and they look like they have the blight. So my pepper yield will not be so good this year

I will update you on the diagnosis. Thanks

Thanks Petee I may just do that.

Im gonna pull a couple of the plants and check out the roots tomorrow.

yes they can but they haven't been in the garden. I did find out the wife cut a couple of the plants down to see if they would grow again but not all of them. The deer would have ate all the pepper plants(I think there was 145 LOL)also and leave some tracks when they were in it but there were no tracks. Now a rabbit may have had lunch on one or two possible but most of the plants are wilting and all other vegetables in garden have not been eaten. I am looking into root rot or curling leaves as some show this but I do not have any yellow leaves so I'm leaning to a root problem. Thanks for all the input by everyone. I will try some of lavenders, petees, and bearfoots suggestions.

No deer or groundhog damage I have a fence around the garden plus I have no groundhogs in the area. It does look like something ate it but I don't think so because they started out wilting and progressed to this stage. I figured the fly was just taking a breather and landed there to rest but thought I would take a pic anyway. I was thinking some kind of root fungi or virus. Thought I would get others opinion and see if they have had this happen. Mostly sweet peppers are affected. The other thing I failed to mention is the peppers on some of these plants are mushy as well and wilting.

In the past I have had lots of peppers. Usually the deer eat the tops of the plants off but they come back with a vengeance and give me lots of peppers. Last year though the fawns decided to eat the whole plant right as they were just starting flowering. Now this year since the fence has gone up the deer haven't had an easy meal but something else is damaging them. They were healthy not long ago and then all of the sudden the leaves started to shrivel and the centers wither up and die. We have looked and do not see any insects of any sort. I did see a small orange fly there today. I am wondering if it is fungus of some sort. Any help for next years crop would be appreciated because I fear this years is a bust. The tomatoes are doing great though. In the pics you can see some have healthy leaves and leaves that looked wilted. Then other plants look as though they have been trimmed almost to the stem..
