Thread: Garden update

I got to do something different next year cause I HATE HOEING. My squash has done died on my, always does by mid june for some reason but I do have LOTS of maters coming on and Peppers out the wazoo that will be ready soon. I'm right proud of you guys!!!!

Don you might try the black landscape fabric like I have around my squash, it keeps the weeds out and holds the moisture in. I run soaker hoses around all my plants so it is very efficent when watering them. Also you have to keep your squash sprayed with sevin or the bugs and vine boarers will kill them quick. I also plant a second crop of squash so I will have them all the way up till frost.

You can also use a thick layer of pine needles like I have around my tomatos it is cheap and at the end of the year you can just till it back into the ground.

Good job Slabo....I had to quit gardening a few years ago because the deer will not leave it alone. Me and my neighbors have harvested a bunch of deer but you cannot tell it hardly.
