Re-sowed the Borage from a different seed packet. We'll see if this one grows anything... I threw some dill seed in the same general vicinity just to see if something else germinates in that area... BTW, when I was looking over my tomatoes yesterday, I noticed a bunch of frass on the...

Hmmm, we didn't have either drought or extreme cold. Maybe they are reacting to something sprayed in the atmosphere? Catawbas seem to be very sensitive to those things. More so than Concords...

I noticed my Catawba grapes are full of fruit, but no foliage. Very weird... You can see them here behind the roses My Concords, on the other hand, are a jungle.... And they are just a few feet down the fence from the Catawbas.

Took some updated garden pics. Still only about halfway through cleaning up all the growth after being gone... Cukes that are/were hiding the snake that nearly bit me. Haven't seen it since. Corn looking good but starting to see flea beetle damage. I ***HAVE*** to address the overgrowth...

Hmmm, that's REALLY good to know. I was thinking about putting it either in my gardening shed, garage, or sun room. None of those are below 72 degrees in the summer... And a dedicated circuit is also not ideal although I could probably make it work.

I watched a good video on YouTube about rehydration and what's good or what doesn't rehydrate well. Would love your 2 cents as you experiment...

Bought a new tractor tonight... Kubota L2502 with backhoe, bush hog, and auger. Supposed to rain tonight and tomorrow. Reseeded (for the 3rd time) some things that haven't come up or came up patchy.

I get my next bonus on 6/15. I will most likely break down and buy one with it.

Blue racers will stand up like that... It's enough to take a few years off your life, for sure. As for the snake in my cukes, if he wants to hunt that dang gopher or any voles, he's more than welcome to hang around.... 😂

I've been told that's a myth. King snakes will kill copperheads but not rat snakes.

Went out to get the mail and stopped to look at my cukes. They are planted in this raised bed trellis (although I've removed netting 2 weeks ago because DH got it caught in the mower...). About had a heart attack when a snake tried to strike at my face when I was looking under the leaves. I...

I'm waffling so badly on buying one!

Their response. About what I expected... I haven't replied yet. Dana Calkins (Baker Creek Heirloom Seed Co) May 16, 2024, 09:10 CDT We are sorry to hear you have had trouble with your seeds. We take our seed program very seriously, and we want our customers to get the best possible seeds...

Definitely not cold... Maybe on the water. We are above average but it's been spaced out well

I did email them so we'll see what they say. I've had good results with any veggies, fruit, and herbs that I've ordered from them with the exception of the St Johns Wort. It just seems to be a flower seed issue for me. So weird...

OK... I'm not crazy. I went back through the invoices for all my orders between last July (7/2023) and March (3/2024). Everything highlighted in YELLOW failed to germinate AT ALL. The one highlighted in ORANGE had low germination but still had something. Those not highlighted at all had high...

Yeah, I'm not sure why I've had so much trouble with Baker flower seeds this year. I also sowed 3 different packets of yarrow from Baker, in addition to the other seeds I listed. None of those have germinated either. Over a dozen flower seed packets, from multiple shipments, without a single...

My batting average is taking a hit with seed germination this season. Some of it is expected considering I'm trying to salvage my mom's 8 yr old seeds that were kept in her shed. Not surprisingly... the onions, basil, lettuce, beans, and most of the flower seeds did not germinate at all. I've...

Electric poultry netting around the garden?

Well, I started tackling the garden today. It's amazing what 10 days of rain will do. Just saying... I've gotten about 30-40% of the weeding done. Probably over-pruned my tomatoes a little too severely but they were so overgrown that the weight of the growth caused their stems to bend and...
