Anyone growing a garden this year?

[BAMAWV]

Mine is growing like weeds

You need to buy a hoe--no, not ho. I have seven or eight hoes--not hos. Different shapes for different uses. Big hoes, little hoes, pointed hoes. Ho Ho Ho.

Several years ago I moved the vegetable garden closer to the house-- it has kept the deer away. For those with deer problems, there are many tricks that people swear upon. Some hang bars of soap, some use human hair or coyote urine. Others use electric fences or even aluminum pans, plastic bags, and scarecrows banging in the wind. The only solution I know of that is 100% fool proof is a 11' electric fence with razor wire and guards in towers armed with high powered rifles. This may work.

Deer solution: 
Child #1 opens the window
Child #2 holds the spotlight
Child #1 zings them with pellet gun.

The next time they swap positions.

The deer aren't hurt, the neighbors don't complain about the noise, my dog doesn't go nuts and chase the deer... (he sleeps right thru it)

I seriously doubt the deer have been hit that often.

Coyote urine?  Now that should be easy to find.

They are hard to corner. No, it is on the shelf at Southern States.

Our dogs go nuts by the scent of deer in the air. But don't go out of town for a few days. The deer see the newspapers piling up on your porcch...

I'm trying tomatoes, bell peppers, and strawberries again.  I have bird issues.  We also go out of town 2 weeks every July and stuff just gets burned up in the Houston heat right as it is ready to plant.  The thing I can grow well is herbs EXCEPT cilantro.  I'm on my 4th try.  This one I decided to keep indoors on my kitchen window because I was told by a good gardener that it is a cold weather plant here.  Well, it turned yellow and died.  The girl at Kroger said it likes to be dry so I am thinking of giving it one more shot...I sure need some for the tex-mex we eat around here.

We plant strawberries in the fall?

[MLB10]

Well I dunno...the local strawberry picking place is selling plants now as is my nursery.  The nursery usually closes out non-seasonal small stuff like that so who knows. 

Any ideas about cilantro?

That's not pine you smell!

Well Crimson I grew up on a Farm with my Dad and Grandma and I learned to plow a mule at the age of 13. Feeding chickens in chicken houses and raising cattle. RTR!

You can call me CP Ricky.   Everyone else does.

I grew up on a pretend farm about six blocks from town.  I guess this would be outlawed today.  We lived on 15 fenced-in acres with two large ponds (with row boats) and a barn.    I was usually outside with my brother and two sisters.

We had white faced Hereford cows and a prize bull, Tennessee walking horses, a few Shetland ponies, fish (bass and bream), turtles, wild ducks that spent the winters on the ponds, a pen full of birddogs, bantam chickens that went anywhere they pleased, a goat, several geese, lots of dogs and cats, and a wonderful peacock that paraded around the yard and slept in the oak tree in our front yard.  Peacocks are very loud sometimes, and it had a yell that sounded like a child screaming for help.  My mother never could tell the difference and finally made my father get rid of the peacock.

Cattle, farming, and hunting were some of my dad’s hobbies.  He rented a farm in Fairview (12 miles down the road) and grew some things.  Other than that, he had a business in town that supported us.



****I realize now how blessed I was to have been given such a wholesome and protected childhood.  Of course, we had our share of tragedies the same as other families.

This was real living my compliments. RTR!

Well...........the gardens trashed after that storm. Looks like a herd of cattle went through the place.

I'm just gonna bucket some mator plants for now.

Anyone else have any major damages?
