Looking forward to seeing your garden after what, 3 years now?

I was amazed at it last time I was over. You'd do great growing weed. No doubt.

Kinda miss you guys boo.

Question for the mater growers. Do you pull the sucker branches off your plants or let them go?

I don't. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...a2edd09a5c.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...379bd62ee3.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...dfa26b8211.jpg

Those are purty FMB! I never have but I know lots of "experts" say to do so. It seems to me that the more branches you pull off the fewer tomatoes you will harvest. :shrug:

Tonight's pull. Sweet 100s, sweet yellow,a San Marzano, a jet star, some jalapenos, and serranos. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...30d4adbc9c.jpg

I leave the gardening to the wife, so take it FWIW, but she swears that the variety Super Sue (no idea if you can get them or not) taste way better than Jet Star.

That being said, Jet Star will produce more and are less susceptible to disease, but she's a snob so that's all she plants.

Good haul though. :thumb: I couldn't ever grow peppers for shit.

I watered my Ghost peppers......

My jalapeno plant produces like crazy all year. Just took off 50 peppers and did the same back in March. Easiest damn things to grow too. Just water and forget it. Looks like a small tree and needs trimming multiple times for year. Gives hundreds throughout the entire year here and I never frost protect it.

Well 2019 garden is done. Wife and i made the call after all the wet and more to come. I have a mountain of rotted cow crap and rotted hay just across the road so this entire summer will be hauling many loads in front end loader and tilling in rebuilding the garden for the rest of our years

Amish have great produce and close by.

FMB, this one is for you.

I planted Barley 10 days ago. Does that count?

We took out ash trees in the backyard and now I want a full sized tart cherry tree (North Star) as their replacement. The response I've gotten from this idea is mostly, "That's a huge mess." But it sounds fun to me and it seems like the picking season is short so that if you stay on top of it for a month, it's manageable. Any one have experience with cherry trees in the yard?

No experience with cherry trees here....ask George Washington.


BTW, I've already picked some nice, big, red tomatoes. The cucumbers are coming along nicely. The jalapenos are slow though.

3x300ft of weed fabric and 77 bags of pine bark to spread this weekend.

I finally had a landscaper spread my mulch for me the last few years.

He gets a wholesale rate on it, it's quality stuff, and in the end the 'labor cost' I pay to him was less than $100 more than the cost I'd have paid for the mulch myself since I wouldn't have a wholesale rate to buy it at.
