On the counter...

Sounds like a great crowd! So glad so many people are interested in gardening! I would love to have a peek...if you get a chance to post a few pics.

I really see no reason to spray. The tree looks great- and the peaches even better. It is my understanding that nothing will stop fire blight. I have had those trees for years, and have never sprayed. Enjoy your beautiful peaches!

I inherited the Squeezo. Truly a life changing event- compared to the old food mill (which I did love.) If you are doing a lot of tomatoes, it is very fast and easy. Mine has all metal parts and is not difficult to clean. When I made elderberry jelly, I kept the seeds in.

I really hope the moose are eating your potatoes, Thistle...because if its deer, I am in trouble! Our potato field is a favorite spot for the local deer population. So far, the worst they have done is trample a few of the plants. Hoping this pattern continues and I don't have to check back...

I have never sprayed mine... so far so good. Our spring weather was kind of crazy. One of my trees only has a few peaches, the other many more. Of course, I love eating them, but I think they look absolutely beautiful on the tree. Very happy I planted fruit trees!

I agree with So lucky. Lots of them in Florida too.

Welcome! Welcome! We would love to hear about your garden and your "zoo"!

Thanks for the tips! When I opened up one of them with my nail, it seemed like the seeds were the size of morning glory seeds-not very tiny. I will wait until the plants are dying, as you suggest- before peeking at them again.

Thanks for finding that, Steve! Okay... now I am excited to try and save some of these seeds. Stay tuned!

Love, love, love them! My first yellow one is opening, as we speak. Not many flowers that offer that much color and fun- for so little effort! And on sale, even better!

I swear they grow several feet per night! We had our first one, steamed last night. I thought I was buying 2 cuke plants, and ended up with one zucchini. Surprise!

And... how do they taste???

I have a BIL that is like that Carol Dee....I always make sure I am sitting next to him! Mosquitoes go right to him, and leave me alone!

Always been tempted... I think it would work better if you rubbed the leaves on your skin. The nasty bugs around my house would not be deterred by a citronella plant!

Such a beautiful dog... and great photos!

I know we have talked about this before...but I can't seem to find the thread. After our potatoes bloomed this year, quite a few of them developed little round fruit (above ground). I have never had this happen before. Can I save those seeds and grow my own seed potatoes?

I was surprised when I cut down my mildewed bee balm, it came back and bloomed again and looked fine. Just couldn't stand that awful mess, and surprise!

Mother nature can be cruel! Hopefully, things will perk up and you will have a wonderful harvest.

I have a foodsaver, as well. This is a gadget I can do without. I find using regular baggie type bags, to be just as useful. I l love canning and freezing, just not a fan of the sealer.
