The Beauty Of The Changing Seasons

That was one mornings pick session on the blueberries, lol.

Yeah, I can clone them. Already have! I've made 3 so far. :thumb:


Fresh berries we/I use in all sorts of dishes. As much as bowel tolerance will let, lol. Pancakes, muffins, pie, cereal topping...just plain handfuls like I'm about to do..

Yum.

Then comes preserves and jams.

The excess is frozen for off season use like you would use an expensive bag of frozen blueberries. I have a couple deep chest freezers and extra fridge/freezers that hold what's harvested here and help when processing large amount of food. Some blueberries are packaged up fresh in clear plastic clam shells and I use them as gifts or trading stock. People around here are getting to know my blueberries. I've traded them for everything from composted horse manure to ammunition to dirt road grading. But always first comes filling my reserves for the year. My folks eat them a lot too, so they get a bunch too.

:thanks:

Can any of you veggie gardeners help AJ out with an issue regarding snails on his pepper plants?
And a question on pepper genetics.....etc.

Thanks if you can help, I am in unfamiliar territory on veggies. LOL

There were 10 Green Peppers
 
I found the Keebler Elf Cookies factory. It appears they have expanded so much that they had to add an additional shipping/receiving door.

So when does the cookie tree flower and set cookies? I want one. No, I want 1000.

Unfortunately it is on my employers' property, and is not included in the employee benefits.

:rofl: That would look bad, wouldn't it?

That's the parking area of my workplace. :)

I have one big ol' beefsteak tomato that is gonna be ready soon. I'm guarding it like a hawk. Thinking of putting some fencing around just that one tomato so I can be sure to get ONE before the critters do. :laugh:

Fertilize with a little nitrogen and some epsom salts. What have you given them and what do you have available?

Tomatoes like P and K, and consume a bit less N in comparison. Look at Espoma brand Tomato-tone fertilizer. It's NPK is 3-4-6. In fact a little bag of that would do you wonders. They do well with Garden-tone too.

All that said I screwed up some of mine by over applying N. I have great big leaves and no yellowing, but flowering has suffered. Oops and oh well.

Also, tomatoes can be finicky about water. Try to maintain a constant moisture level. Not overly wet, not dead pan dry. If they go through wet/dry cycles the fruits can have problems. Dark, dying spots on the bottoms (not end rot) and splitting are two big ones. So keep them watered evenly, and USE MULCH!!!!

Heirloom, would it benefit my tomato grow area to put compost over the top of it? It's really nothing more than grass/leaves/wood chips. I don't have a true compost pile where you would throw scraps and such on it, just natural stuff.

I used some miracle grow on the tomatoes last night...I am guessing that is the wrong thing to do. Also I think I have to use the neem oil on my MJ cuz I saw a white high back flying insect on my plant leaves this am.

Is your MJ plant outside? I can't remember. I have been using Diotomaceous Earth powder on my outdoor girls this year and have noticed a major improvement in keeping the critters off the plants.
