    Coffee

    The time change is still throwing me off a bit. I have a hard time waking up when it’s still dark out. The inside chores are done and I’m drinking my coffee and reading. I’ll go let the chickens out in a few minutes.

    Yep. The eggplant in particular has never been planted within 100ft of last years planting.

    Should I give up on eggplant?

    Unfortunately they attack potted ones too. If I put the seedlings out on the porch for a few hours for some sun they come back chewed up. We also seem to have multiple generations of the things around here so planting earlier or later doesn’t help much.

    Should I give up on eggplant?

    I might be willing to try it depending on the cost. If I do it will be next year though. We have a ton of those nightshade weeds around here. They might be my most hated weed. They have spines that are worse than nettles. They are perennial. Poisonous. And they attract bugs and disease.

    Should I give up on eggplant?

    I’ve tried growing eggplant about 3 years in a row now but every single year I lose them to flea beetles. Is there anything I can do other than keeping them under high tunnels all summer? Last year the flea beetles were so bad that the plants were completely destroyed in less than 48 hours after...

So for original readers it would have been somewhat like following a tv show or radio program is for us know. Some of these end up being pretty dense once they were...
