So.... do I win the smallest plant with a pod award? LOLOL!!

Yeah, we had a rattler in the maters last year....   I still need to get out there and put bamboo stakes and chords in the mater zone. A sort of trellis system... then later on,  I'll trim anything at ground level so I can be safer in the tomato patch. Going to have cheddar jalapeno sausage dogs...

Checked my tomato seeds to see what was left... there were a couple that  I had sowed all the seeds, but still had some  left from several of the varieties...   So......   I packaged up: Wild Galapagos Amish Paste San Marzano Cherry Roma Yellow Pear Honkin' Big Black Cherry Oregon Spring...

Bumpity bump bump

Wow, awesome salt/fruit/pepper powder..... I am super jealous of all the pod action you are having. I can't wIt till mine get to podding....

Yep, they glow flourescent green under the blacklight :) Also if they are the kind with white stripes on the side, the white bits really light up. The blacklight makes it super easy to find them, way way easier than searching for them in the daytime.

Oh... Ramone....    Here's a recently popped MoA seedling (Sawyer kindly sent me 3 seeds :) ) In the fall, I hope it produces like yours are!!!     Here is a pair of your Ja Habs :) The biggest ones.     And after all that stupid hornworm talk, I went out to the porch and saw this...    ...

Snake sticks will put the fright into a person....    Oh.... I forgot to mention that I had an MoA pop :) Pretty excited about it.  

They tiny ones look just like the big ones....The blacklight makes the tiny ones glow in the dark too :) I killed many many many of the baby ones last year :) I haven't seen any here yet, but I am ready for the buggers, if they show up...lol

Cool.....Just let me know :)

Yeah, the larvae were awesome, but the billions of aphids and little inchworms they were feeding on were not!! So I leveled the whole turnip patch, sprayed 4 gallons of neem oil/water mix all around, and pretty much wiped everything out.   Tomorrow They are getting more ladybugs in, at the local...

Yep, I figured if they get big enough I can tie them to the tree... It gets super windy here, and I also thought the afternoon shade might help them too.....The tree's roots go down deep, so I figured the top layers of soil were good for the peppers....   Here is the largest one 12" tall...

Thanks!! The Tomatoes are growing nicely now... I only wish peppers grew that quickly!   HAHAHHA, I wasn't gonna let him have my eggs!!   I grabbed it and put him into the main garden....maybe he found a snack in there :)   My friends and I, used to go searching for snakes all over southern...

If you have a portable black light, use that in complete darkness, those hornworm bastards glow flourescent green and are super easy to find....even the little baby ones and the eggs!! I slayed thousands of them last year that way. I had a 5 gallon bucket next to me... pluck and drop into the...

So, How are things going out your way? Hope all is well :)

Thank you!! I was super excited to see so many of them, but utterly dismayed at the sheer volume of aphids in there too....Luckily everything was confined in that turnip patch, and hadn't spread to the peppers 5 feet away... yet....   There were thousands of them in there.... Unfortunately lots...

    Dinner..... Zuchinni, Yellow Squash, Tomato (those 3 from a freind's garden) Our Garden Garlic, Garden Onion, Garden Cayenne Pepper Flakes, Garden Oregano, and Mexican Blend Cheese Saute everything but tomatoes and cheese, add tomato near the end and when everything is ready, add the cheese...

  They get pretty big! there are a ton of them that are maybe 1/2" +/-  long  out in the aphid turnip patch (now I want to catch and measure one...lol) And they cruise around pretty fast too :)

Here is my squad of little Birgit's....biggest is about 10-12" tall....lol Maybe in the heat of the summer they might grow faster....maybe....     Here is the biggest one.     Is the machete there to scare the plant into growing faster?....hahahahhaha

HAHAHA, I ran out their and just took those photos!!   But here are some I was holding out on.....   Turnips in cream sauce.... used cayenne flakes from last season to make it tasty :)     A few Maters starting to get ripe now      The Family planting the sprawling plant garden :)     Asian...
