As usual, quite a bit of leaf miners, but the plants are setting fruit nicely.
They do that because of their "price match + 10% guarantee". They got tired of getting beat by $0.10 and having to discount a $50 item by $5. They don't sell the EXACT same thing anymore, thus no price guarantee. Lowes sells Black Kow item #0001, while Home Depot sells Black Kow item #0002. ...
Maybe we could require "Q-view" before allowing one to rate a recipe? Allow any comments, but only allow one to rate the recipe if you can provide "proof" of executing it?
Sounds good. And the rating system would be awesome! I think we would have to limit the rating system to those who have actually executed the recipe.
Just like the other recipe sites, but for our tastes.
Gary is right. As soon as they start to blush they will ripen up fine on the kitchen counter.
Last year was the first year that I did not have birds pecking my tomatoes. One year is a small sample size, but the thought was that birds are not looking for food, but for water, as they never...
I've heard a saying something to that exact same thing. Something like, "One for me, One for thee..." they mentioned a third which was something like "One for the raven in the tree". But I was always told to plant 3X as much as you want.
I gave up on being "gentle" on a seedling years ago. Grow them, then put them outside. It will take them about two weeks to get going, but they will go. It was taking way too much time to "harden them off" like people say. A few may sulk from the transplant, but two months from now there...

You need to come smoke my wife some deviled eggs!
She seriously put a dozen eggs on boil the moment we hit the house. I was out checking my plants and she started calling for me to start the smoker!

I grilled the sausage you gave me the moment I got home. It was good even though it was not what you expected. My son (the 19 y/o) said that he would come next year if you would be there to make sausage!
This was our first time going and we had a really good time! Jerry and Karen have a great place to throw a get together like this - plenty of space and plenty of cover which came in handy with "some" rain. Most of all, the people are simply super. They welcome you like they have known you for...
If I'm looking at that right, you have about 45 strawberry plants. How much do you get for that many plants?
I know growing stuff is a hobby (and I blew my budget, so stuff won't be "paid off" this year like I planned) but they ask $2+ here per plant.
