Planted my dads garden for him while he was out. Maters bout a foot and a half. Just planted squash and cucumber seeds about two weeks ago and they are already off to a good start.
First time I've ever planted anything from seeds. Kinda cool

Why would you pay 59 cents for maters at PW when you can grow (maybe) your own for about $2 apiece, not to mention the 50 hours of labor in the sun???? :dono That said, mine are up about 18" and the peppers and cukes are coming along.:biggrinQuote:

Now all I need to find is someone to pick, dry and grind them for me.
Gary you going to bring some to Scott this fall?
Lord, I hope not. Lol
I was wondering when the garden posts were gonna start. My inlaws sent us some lettuce, radishes, and onions already. Good stuff. My tomatoes are about 15" high or so and peppers maybe 6".
Looks like Steve has a nifty irrigatoin system on his maters. I take it this isn't your first rodeo.
My pops told me to get bigger boys, but the co-op only had better boys. I don't know what the difference is. Wonder if he'll figure it out?
That is a 1/2" pvc pipe capped at one end with a garden hose adapter on the other end and holes drilled down one side. Works well for me. Not my 1st time.Quote:

Done forgot the size of the holes but have mine where it is spraying a stream about the size of a pee stream. Start out small and work up to what you want, I am always in a hurry.Quote:

Do you adjust the pressure at the fauct so that it drip's or just go wide open with a hard stream?I bought a soaker hose today gonna run it down 1 of my row's but like the look's of the pvc deal but would rather have a drip or a low pressure stream.
I let mine come out in a stream but I'm guess with smaller holes and low pressure it could be made to drip. You would need to adjust the pressure so that water comes out all the way down the pipe.Quote:

I have close to 100 tomato plants. They need staking. After that I'll til the middles. Then lay down soaker hose next to the plants cover with newspaper and mulch. But somewhere in there I'll bury a 2 liter drink bottle by the plants for natures water and fertilizer. The rest of the garden looks good except where the deer have been.
Anyone want a deer in the dark of night without a shot, city limits rules.
Got some good lookin mater plants going, have several big as golf balls, ark travelers. Squash, hot peppers and okra, might to put in some snap beans. My wife has had to do it all,she has done real good.
Do you guys pick off the suckers? I do early on but after I get those bottom, BIG maters, I let em grow to get more Maters
I do sometimes but read somewhere that can let in disease.Quote:

I leave the first sucker at the base, but remove all the others.
My daddy inlaw already has ripe mater's,not green house grown in the ground.
James lee sent me 4 matos today. Half green, in a paper bag for now, may get a samish tomorrow.
