I heard urine works to deter them too.... So I just peed on the fence where I think it might have come in....lol I usually fluff up the sand where I suspect the entry point is, but it has been too windy for the tracks to stay long enough for me to see. Might try the water trick. Thanks!

BWAHAHAHAHAHAhahahahahahhahahahahHhahaha!!!!!!!

I just emailed Jukka about the germination rate of basically zero that I am getting after a month in the germ tray. Hopefully he replies with something good. I am surprised, I managed to succesfully germinate over 1,200 seedlings this year, but so far not the 3 varieties I got from him.

Funny thing is that I asked the vendor what variety of garlic it was, he said he didn't know...lol I assume it is some kind of elephant garlic. I had a couple refular garlics too, and they all matured at the same time, so I figure the bigger stuff is the way to go. More garlic to eat and took...

Thanks!! We got the garlic from the farmer's market, It was a big variety of some sort, so after 10 months or so, we got a bunch of big garlic :) Yeah, I went a bit overboard on peppers this year....lol The plan is to see which ones do well here in the harsh conditions. Where abouts in Norcal...

Unfortunately there are lots of stupid rabbits out here.... I could never get them all. The main thing is to get the plants big enough to survive a little predation from the buggers.... And hopefully figure out where it is getting into the garden at!

Well, this morning I watered, and am not sure what it "sampled" other than eating 4 eggplant seedlings to the ground....I sprayed those too, so I hope the stupid rabbit got more than it bargained for! If it keeps invading, I am going to have to use the bb gun, and sit out back waiting for it...

I was raised in San Diego, All my relatives live down there too. You guys have awesome conditions for gardening! Yep, I am just about 15 miles North of Palmdale.... I'll have to check my seeds and see what I have left. I might have a couple things of interest for Milk :) I tend to sow every...

3 varieties, 7 seeds each, 1/21 sown on 2-22  4-22 I'm not happy......   Edit.... Sowed the 4-22 So One month in the germ tray so far....

Yeah, melons sprawl out and take some space. And you'll need some room to have those, tomatoes and peppers. If I was you I would save your money instead of buying lights just yet. (You can get them later, to use next season to start seeds in january for a jumpstart) It is warm at night, so your...

I use peat pellets in a dome... as soon as they pop, I put em in cups of soil under lights. No lights needed for the germination dome. So just use the lights for the ones that have sprouted. This time of year, I give em a couple days under the lights, then put them outside for the real sunshine...

Oh, also, check out my grow log for how I deal with growing here... But beware, there are a lot of pages in it...lol http://thehotpepper.com/topic/37813-desertchris-high-desert-extreme-gardening-glog/ Feel free to ask anything you want, and i'll try to help :) I use cherry tomatoes for salsa...

Welcome from............ The other side of the ....... ANTELOPE VALLEY!!! (Antelope Acres) Yep, wind, heat, sand, tumbleweeds.... extreme gardening conditions :) Just a bit of personal experience.... get some cherry tomatoes, and maybe plum size tomatoes... I have had better production and...

This is for Annie :) Nick the Springer in a muddy hole...lol Sooo, Used about 30 habaneros from the freezer in the blender with some water. Blended it, strained it, put the pulp back into blender, added water etc... 3 times... Put a couple drops of dishsoap, Habanero "juice" and water into the...

hahahaha, it looks like you were using your peppers for archery practice!!!!   Nice update! Plants look super nice :)

Hahaha, you are right, even after plant out, I'll be out there at least an hour a day.... even if it is just checking everything :)   Stupid rabbits, I have rabbit proofed garden #1 for the most part, (chicken wire on the fences etc...) and haven't figured out where it is getting in at....I hope...

Sweet! The only thing podding up in my grow right now is a couple small serrano plants...lol   Hopefully by fall, it will all be insane though (1,200 plants growing)

Spectacular!!   I figure that sums it up ;)

Wow! Looking great!!   I can't wait until my plants start looking more like yours!!
