What have the temps been in your area? Once the day time temps go above 95 degrees, you will get major bloom drop...

What I don't use myself, I give to friends who want to try them, sell some at a local farmer's market and auction. Try selling on Criag's List or trading...

Just a guess, have you seen any Armadillos around? They will usually dig more, but they are in search of Grubs and are only seen at night....

Remember, horses have to have roughage for their gut. So these horses were fed hay, in hay you will find all types of weed and grass seeds. Just wanted to let you know....

Metman, Our first frost is usually around the middle of November, but keep a watch on the nigh temps, as once the lows get around 65 degress production stops. I start potting the pepper I want to keep around mid October, so I can get them adjusted and control any bugs that want to hibernate in...

Got an email from Pepper Joe's, saying they have new chile pepper called Carolina Reaper or HP22B Chile. The claim is that it is the new "super Hot" pepper in the world. Before I invest money on some seed, what are your thoughts on growing this pepper. If it grows well in Carolina, then it...

Metman, I live about 60 miles east of you outside the little town of Maud. All my pepper plants are in the ground at this moment, but the heat took a toll on production. We set some record heat records and tied for the hottest day ever with 113 degrees. My Bhut, Butch, Habs are jut now...

As a wheat farmer and a gardner, I do not like to have to use chemicals. But sometimes they are neccessary. Like now, I am battling a grass hopper outbreak. If I hit with a pesticide while they are small, it takes one treatment with a pesticide that has a short llife span. I prefer to use Sevin...

If I remember correctly, it should turn into a Swallow Butterfly, so let it live. It is not a Tomatoe Horn Worm....

It looks like a Seranno? Did you throw out any old peppers out of the house like that?

I have the same problem in certain areas of my pastures where the water table is only a foot or so below ground. You can dig about a foot down and water will start to perk up. Great area for building ponds, but no fun to try to cross when it has rained for several days. You can see the crawdad...

Shouldn't hurt, when we take vitamins, the excess is just excreted out when we go to the bath room. Besides most vitamins only have micrograms of the vitamins in them.. You may want to dissolve them first in some hot water. If you dump a bottle of them in your compose pile, they may just form a...

Your very welcomed....

Notice the plants were grown in peat pots. Tear any of the pot that is above the ground off, it acts like a wick and the plant dries out supr fast when it warms up. It's a good idea to tear the peat pot off, they just don't seem to decompose that fast, the roots some times are unable to break...

I use Black Eye peas, I buy the biggest bag I can at the grocery store. After harvesting all the green and dried peas I want, I mow it down and turn it under next spring.. The peas I miss, turn to food for the wild life. As for Potassium, I use the ashes from my wood burnng stove conservatively...

It looks like compost that was not allowed to finish. Does your city do a community composting that you can get for free? When it comes to fertilizer, are you organic or not???

I was at the Southern Plains Farm Show in Oklahoma City. There was a booth set up Selling bags of Sea Minerals FA. A Dr. Lynn and Pat Burhr from Siloam springs, Arkanasa were seling it by the pound. The product is Nitrogen 0.02%, Phosphate 0.02%, Potash 0.10%, plus water souble nutrients. It is...

Better yet, if at all possible, grow yur own plants....

I sure looks like flea beetles, slugs would not eat pin size holes, they would almost eat the leaf. Apply some Sevin dust around the plant and that should take care of them. If your organic grower, I am sure spraying some type of Pyrethium would work..Usually flea beetles will not do much...

Topsy Turvey even has its own fertilizer. What's next, potting soil? I agree planting in the ground if you have the place to or five gallon buckets. Can you imagine trying to over winter a Topsy Turvey in the house??? It would be nice if they worked as well as he claims!!!
