I need to stop being lazy and pull my beets. Pickle said beets.

Me, too. First-time order and I got some great freebies.

It's about 70 degrees here today :confused: I see next Wednesday's overnight is expected to be 26.

You're on your way - good luck!

Just trying to get an idea of what you're doing in terms of space. Here's what I mean: I have a nice sized garden, but caging/netting plants within my beds can be a bit of a PITA, since I intensively plant them with companions. So for next year, I was thinking of planting in-ground as my main...

I need a break. I've done the four-season gardening thing in the past, but now I look forward to being a winter vegetable. And, as you said, it's cool because I'm already thinking about next year. Just not doing.

Halloween is definitely different from when I was a kid - now adults enjoy it more than ever! Along different trick-or-treating routes, we've seen (and been part of) fire pits, beer wagons, food tents, floats (like the Macy's Thanksgiving Parade)...Rock on, Mike.   I'm bringing in some tender...

I remember in college one dude in the house got cable and everyone spliced off it, wires running around everywhere. That one dude had an issue and called out the cable guy, forgetting about all the splices. The cable guy noticed it and basically walked around the house cutting all the cables...

What was unspoken is that it was really 100 lbs and those folks' are singing Marley right now:   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HOyJmMLl2BY  

I can't in the least contribute here. I don't hunt, and I have no objections to it. I have a lot of friends and family who do, though - and I benefit from there kills. Yup, I'm one of those guys.   What I am interested in is: how do you mix your hot peppers with game? For example, do you...

I'm going to add a few new varieties. I feel good with in-ground and potted plant regimens. My harvest was a bit down this year from the past several years, but it was the weather. I still got enough. I may need to amend the beds with more compost.   What I would really love is a permanent...

Planning the garlic beds. Prepping to paint my daughter's room (hell yeah she's helping!). Rescuing ripe figs from pests. Slowly closing the book on this year's pepper harvest. I have a few holdout plants.

"...but word is apparently getting around the 'hood that I grow a higher level of pod..."   I like that name - A Higher Level of Pod.   What starts with two people may escalate into pilgrimages from neighboring towns...   :P

It's all in the name of science right?. Made me think of this guy: http://www.npr.org/2016/05/15/477852486/stung-by-83-different-insects-biologist-rates-his-pain-on-a-scale-of-1-to-ow Would you take the primo or the bullet ant?

This sounds like the perfect opportunity to grow your own peppers and customize the heat  :onfire:

The summer rain, low temps, and humidity didn't help me either, but now I'm recovering a bit as the weather has dried up a bit. In previous years, I picked earlier and was picking lots later. I am seeing a lower pepper yield, but it's been more about the maters. For example, last year I...

Drying and freezing the bounty. Eating the bounty fresh. Garden cleanup so I can identify in which beds my garlic is going to be planted.

That car has been barbecued. Glad your daughter wasn't hurt.

I plant nasturtiums as companions to other plants. But they so rarely seed. Anyone else have this experience? One year, I planted nasturtiums all over and they seeded prolifically. But out of say 4 years, only that 1 year were there any significant seeds. I don't think planting with other plants...

So are the earwigs starting little families inside? Or are they just snacking? I'm asking, do those holes preclude you from using the peppers?
