Small Garden in East Texas

"Usually" pesticides for home owner use are safe to pet..... There may be a warning for fish etc.... Be sure to apply at the labels recommended amount.... I leave my pets indoors until the "spray" has dried.... I apply the spray indoors also.... around cracks and crannies.. read the label and do a search for the MSDS.....
The active ingredient is 0.2%... Pyrethroids are dangerous to say the least...

Picked up a few cucumber plants, get them planted today, My tomato seeds I started are really going slow, I got them because my neighbor had read an article about Burpee's new Summer Girl Tomatoes, so I mainly got them for her and I thought I would give them a try also.

I will post up some pictures today

Here are a few pictures of the garden, azaleas, and wife's verbena  and grape vine on the trellis

I hear ya Gary.....weather is not supposed to get this cold. I may cover up my broccoli. I only have two left. The last cold/sleet front we had just about whiped me out.

 

[gary s]

Year before last I planted early no lat freeze, last year I planted 3 times, we'll see if I have to replant this year, OH well

 

[gary s]

Last night it got down to 32º heavy frost, I know I lost some plants, waiting for it to warm up and I'll check out the rest to see what I need to replace, I did have some extra plants still in the garage. Hope this is it for the the cold weather.

 

[gary s]

Looks like I lost one squash and three cucumber plants, everything else seems to be O-K   I lucked Out !!!     (if we don't have any more freezes)

Morning Gary.
So far so good for me. The low that morning was only 31 and we didn't have a frost. I need to get some tomato plants in the ground.

 

[gary s]

Got my cucumbers and squash replanted yesterday, everything looking pretty good, Radishes already popping up.

Getting anythibg useful up here unless you have a farm or ranch is almost impossible.  SO.. I know this isn't going to win me the "Green Guy Award of the year", but I use plain ordinary gas.  Just pour some on an ant hill and they simply die.

Up here, unless you own a farm or ranch, it is almost impossibel to get anything  usefull.  I know this isn't going to get me the "Green guy of the year award" but I just dump plain ordenary gas on each ant hill---no more ants.

Update   Garden coming along, having problem with clover, always have a little but this year Lots !  We were behind on rainfall  but that changed yesterday, got 5" and more today. Temps have been in the mid to upper 80's this morning 57º  Glad I mowed before it rained Post some pictures later (if not raining)
