    2016 Not so big in Texas

      Interesting. I saw that exact same type of mold growing on wild grape vines up in Waco back in like 2008. Was out playing disc golf in the woods and found neon orange alien looking mold growing on a grapevine.   Never did find out what it was called and forgot all about it til I saw your...

Spoon the egg whites onto some buttered bread (I used a split english muffin), make a little pocket for the yolk & dump them back in. Bake at 400F for 5-10 min til nice and...

    Are these moths harmful to my plants?

    Depends on the moth. The moths themselves are usually harmless but sometimes their young like to eat plants. Like tomato hornworms which are one of the most destructive caterpillars are the larvae of the sphynx moth.   ...

    Are there any Dresden Files Fans out there ?

    I didn't even know there was a TV series but I listened to the entire book series on audiobook when I had a long commute. Great series & the narrator was awesome. I guess I'll have to check out the TV show.

    Can't see what's going on in those small pics & for some reason I can't view the enlarged ones because Imageshack is not cooperating. Can you upload larger pics somewhere like www.imgur.com?

    URGENT need help

    Pretty sure the fruit flies he's talking about aren't what we call fruit flies over here in the US.    Camz1492, is this the kind of fruit fly you're talking about? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bactrocera_tryoni

    pests Leaf Curl... Bugs? Mites? Nutrients? Any guesses?

    Yeah that looks like broad mites to me. Spinosad will probably kill them, Azamax will definitely kill them.  Also keep them away from your other plants to prevent spreading.

    food What is your favorite Stuffed hot peppers recipe?

        I usually use 1 pack for 2 8oz blocks (16oz total) but I've used a whole pack with just 1 8oz block before when I was making a smaller batch and it was fine.   Can always mix it in a bit at a time & adjust to personal taste.

    TXCG 2016

The one with the hog fence trellis things is my new bed for this season, the one to the right of that is the one I've had since we built this garden.     Friday after work I pulled a bunch of weeds, raked...

    lighting Total newbie lighting question

    For growing fruiting plants indoors you really cannot beat HID lighting (high pressure sodium or metal halide), especially if you are trying to cover a pretty large area. Fluorescents just don't have the intensity to penetrate the canopy very far and they do not put out anywhere near as many...

    food What is your favorite Stuffed hot peppers recipe?

    Do jalapeno poppers count? I don't even care because jalapeno poppers are awesome. You can also make them out of habaneros too if you can find some fat enough.    Even though everyone already knows how to make them I'm gonna post a recipe anyway.   Ingredients: 16 oz cream cheese Handful of...

    Holes in leaves

      They show up pretty bright under UV light. Hard to spot with just a regular flashlight since they are roughly the same color as the plant.   Not my video but example: I picked up this UV flashlight ages ago for hunting scorpions and it works great for finding hornworms too. Only $12 on...
