Which to plant??

1. Crest Haven

2. Red Haven

3. Reliance

I picked a 1/2 bushel of peas yesterday

We have a lot of peas too. We just love them. Half the time they don't even make it to the house. We'll sit down and eat them right at the garden.

We also have lettuce coming out our ears....We planted WAY too much for our little family. We give it away by the bag full (plastic shopping bag!)

We planted radishes this year for the 1st time. They are doing really good too.

peppers cucs, and zucs.....not so much!

according to the plants, it's still spring...they should be fine

This weather we've been having is GREAT!

I hate the heat.

My lettuce is doing really well.

right now they are about 5ft tall with no leaves, buds, or catkins.

When can I expect any kind of bloomage??

Leaves and stuff??

Like I said, they are about 5 feet tall and look like I just planted a few sticks!

thank you!  

The amish take care of any animal in the area. I live in the woods, and the only wildlife I see is a few birds. No Deer, bear, squirrels, turkey. Nothing!

Any idea how long I have to let them dry after they fall off the bush??

right now they are about 5ft tall with no leaves, buds, or catkins. Nursery said I should start expecting nuts in about 2 yrs.

Anybody have hazelnuts??

Case in point...renovate Yankee Stadium!!  

There is talk of demoing Wrigley too......shame!

I was wondering, if I planted a jalepeno plant or 2, do you think I could get them to grow indoors? I have skylights and other plants seem to do well in that room. What do ya think? Fresh peppers off the plant all year would be pretty cool!!

Very cool.....

When I went outside this morning, all the tops of my sunflowers were gone. All of my stella d'oro flowers were chomped off and spit out!

I'm assuming deer, and they didn't like the taste of the lilys? I spray with Deer Off, what the heck!

I'm ashamed to say that a couple of expletives were said.

Does anyone else have this problem? Could it be another critter besides deer?

And does anyone know if the sunflowers will come back. Only the tops were eaten, the rest of the plants are still there.

Everything was looking so beautiful, I could cry!  :'(

You need to ask yourself one question....."What would Jack do?!"  

He would keep watch all night until whatever it was comes back.....and then

HE WOULD BULLRUSH THAT SONOFA***, RIP OFF IT'S HEAD AND SH*T DOWN IT'S NECK!   Don't let Lambert see ya cry!      

Sorry to hear about your flowers though.......

we do jalapeno since we've had room to garden. (3 years) And we've gotten what I think was a good number, all 3 years. We do 6 plants and dice ALOT!  One thing I found out real quick is...WEAR GLOVES!!!      

I decided to go with the THORNLESS blackberry bush from Hanzely's Nursery. I got 3 of them, 12-18" tall. I'm hoping to put them in the ground tomarrow! The nice people at the nursery said just put them in the ground and watch them grow.

Now the part that makes me nervous....when to prune??

Mature Height: 3-6 ft.  

Mature Width:  3-5 ft.  

Sunlight: Full or Partial

Soil Conditions:  Adaptable

Drought Tolerance:  Good

Hardy to -10 degrees. Should I cover them for the winter. Windchill can get colder than -10.

I'm thinking of planting blackberries.

What do I need to know or do before doing so??

Hot Chili Cheese Dip

 

This is so easy and everyone loves it!  You can use low or no fat Cream Cheese and Chili, and it's still fantastic!

 

In a large pie pan, spread 16 ounces of Cream Cheese.

Pour on a can of your favorite prepared Chili.

Cover with 3-4 C of your favorite shredded Cheese.

 

Heat in the Microwave for 4 - 10 minutes till the edges are bubbling and the center is hot and melty clear through to the bottom.

 

Spoon onto crackers.

add jalanpenos         :X        feel the burn!!

Thank you Lavendar, that helped. I'll be planting in the spring!!

really 6 feet??!     that's pretty close!!

I want to form a "wall" using this beautiful tree. Privacy screen in summer and wind/snow break in the winter. How close should I plant them??  They mature at 25' so maybe 16' so they grow into each other??
