It is good to see you're alive. The whole garden looks great. What generation is that Jalabanero at? Is the pod shape etc. consistent?

Everything looks great. It is crazy how big tomato plants can get huh? They always seem to outgrow the space provided for them. If you want you could always prune them to one degree or another.

Thanks for the wishing me a happy birthday guys.

How did it come out?

I have had this happen here or there but not on most of the pods.

I have limited experience with a few batches of lettuce, but... I kept the net pots partially submerged until the roots grew down into the reservoir.

Any chance you or a neighbor sprayed something to kill weeds? Could it be herbicide drift? "Herbicide Injury. Herbicide injury can occur on chile plants as a result of spray drift from target weeds near the chile, or from the use of contaminated spray containers. Even a small amount of the...

I am sorry that you are having such a rough time with your weather. My spring was too wet but that was relatively short lived and nothing like your dry heat issues. What is the soil in your raised beds? What issues do you think you're having(PH, drainage,etc.)? Post some pics we might be...

In my opinion the sandy loam and horse manure is the problem. I am not a good container gardener so you want help from Potawie, PRF, AJ, etc. but that combination by itself sounds too heavy for a potting mix. There appears to be standing water in your pot. If you are concerned about making...

AJ I have grown out seeds from your '08 pods and they have been more consistent compared to the Butch T's. They mostly have stingers from what I recall. Not growing them this season (have more annuums this year), but I am sure they will make it back into the rotation in future seasons.

This hydroponics place in Avenel use to carry both but their prices are high. Bartell's Farm & Garden Supply is a pretty good place with OK prices but I don't remember if they specifically have worm casting or guano. The Agway in Morristown has OK prices as well but once again I don't know if...

Everything looks great. That congo red looks cool but I thought they were more rounded?

Your thread title says "First Timer" but it sure doesn't look that way based on your pictures. Great job.

I don't really have any advice accept that you may want to try one or two and see if they make it alright. The reason I say that is because if the soil is compacted in the raised bed that effect is going to be amplified in a pot. As a result, you would probably want to remove a good portion of...

I ordered seeds from them last season and didn't have any problems.

Nice. What variety is it? How big do the melons grow?

Prices vary all over. I have a place close to me that sells it for $36 a 3.8 cu.ft. bale. Further away, another place sells it for $29.99. Some people have gotten lucky at $20 etc. so it really depends on the price you can find it at. It is supposed to break up into 7 cu.ft. of mix I...

Looking forward to the pics. I would highly recommend picking up a bale of straw after you weed tomorrow. One bale costs me $6.50 and covers my two beds (132sq.ft.). It is definitely worth the few dollars to basically not have to weed. A few here or there may find their way through but they...

You should be proud. As everyone else has said they look great.

Things like this drive me crazy. It wouldn't even cross my mind to trick people like this.
