Yes, it's time to plant spinach and lettuce...onions as well. We just ordered ours last night and they should be here Saturday. We are in zone 7. Can't wait to get gardening!!:tools

Thanx for the reply. Yes, we are near the end of growing season here in zone 7. We normally have tomatoes ripening right up til the first frost...not me this year. It sure could be blight....and the flies could be fruit flies. All in all, we have a great garden season and I can't fuss about...

I've lost all my tomato plants and it happened quickly! The leaves started dying off and fruits were marked with ugly brown spots. I noticed when I sprayed water on them that hundreds of "flies" came out of the plants - I first thought they were mosquitoes - Have read about whiteflies...could...

Beautiful Arizona sunset! Thanks for sharing :clap

Thanks! I read the ehow article and will prune my plants this weekend!

Thank ya'll very much! I feel much better about it and there's many more tomatoes in my garden to ripen... Still getting a wee bit of okra but the eggplant gave it up last week. When these Texas nights started getting cool, it just quit. Already looking forward to spring and winter's not even...

Have any of you put raw tomatoes in the freezer with skin on? I put 4 quarts in my freezer today in this fashion and am wondering what kind of luck you have had..I know they will only work for soups, stews, and things like that. How long will they keep and do they develop a funny taste over a...

Thanks! Really enjoyed the pics of your nice garden - bet you make a bumper crop!:clap

Agree - they look like they may have done all they can do. We have Early Contender Bush Beans and they have been heavy producers. I do have a quesion, though - read somewhere that the first one or two pickings are great in flavor, then successive pickings are much less flavorful - don't know...

Thank you for the kind welcome! I might just try the bug spray - I can remember that my mom did just that years ago - I think maybe she used tabasco peppers and garlic for hers. Anyway the jalapenos I gave my son in law he said were very good and most fresh he'd ever had! Our sweet bells are...

I agree - Avon's Skin So Soft (Original Scent) is very effective in keeping the skeeters and knats off. I use the body lotion and it works great but understand that the oil works well too.

My jalapeno plants are loaded with peppers but they seem to be just sitting there at about 1 or 1-1/2 inches. I harvested about 8-10 today and gave them to my son-in-law....are the smaller green one REALLY hot and do they get milder as they redden? If they are little fireballs, he won't be...

Thank ya'll....we have guineas - they are young and just now ready to go out....might consider clipping their wings and putting 1 or 2 into the garden. Actually, the herd dog caught one of them this morning and killed it. We put 6 guineas out into the lot this morning and I guess the dog...

We are having a grasshopper invasion on our place here in N. Cen. Texas!Don't know if I will have anything left in the garden after this. I have powdered with Sevin and I HATE doing that. What else could I do?:hit
