I built tomato cages this year using concrete reinforcing wire. 100 bucks for a 100 by 5 foot roll. Best bang for your buck and able to make 14 in a couple hours. Still have half the roll if you are driving through dc anytime soon!. I will say that although you can get in to the shoulder, it...

I used AZOMITE this year. I have a very strong season, but much of that is probably due to favorable weather and general improvement in my skillz and experience. That being said, I think it's a good ammendment if you are really looking to live of your land. Lots of trace elements that...

The Corno di Toro peppers I have harvested are quite hot. Some where around 3 or 4 X hotter than the jalapenos so far. Quute interesting! They are really growing true in terms shape. Must be some kind of cross. Pretty cool pepper, gonna save seeds!

Hello THP.  I must admit i have been a pretty bad glogger.  First update since plant out! Overall, considering the high temps and very wet weather, i am very pleased with the season so far.  Very impressed with how my peat-free mix has handled the weather extremes.  Composted pine bark fines is...

Yup. Mine tend to do this too just before they go yellow.
