Replying to: KarenS (Sep 26, 2008 1:35 pm) The Orioles come around off and on all year. I quit feeding all but the hummingbirds, orioles and goldfinches on my deck. The rest are so messy. I toss a can of feed out on the ground for the sparrows, quail and doves everyday. |

Finally getting some. Not a lot, but at least the garden was not a total loss.

well i don't know why but in the last three weeks my pepper plant have lost their minds. i am getting 8-10 bells off 2 plants a week. the anahiems that one plant is producing is about about the same. the hungarians are definitly in the lead though. this is the most productive they have been all year. i will probably take some to the market saturday morning to trade for some tomatoes or beans. good gardening to you all

I picked up a garden claw on clearance for less than 2 bucks, anyone ever use those to aerate their soil? Hope it works. Didn't cost me much if it doesn't, at least.

We tossed one sweet potato eye in a corner of the garden this summer. I just dug it all up and here was our surprise. The vines were also very pretty ground cover all summer with flowers that look like morning glories. Our regular potatoes did not do so well. Also shook the walnut tree again and picked up a good basket of walnuts. I cracked enough the other night for a great batch of oatmeal date nut cookies. So good warm with vanilla ice cream on them.  Steve, I think I will pass on the straw bails next year. Plastic barrels cut in half seem to work better in our weather. I imagine the dry heat is much like your area. Got to go plant pansies in the garden for color this winter....
