Jason,

I will email you my address and you can send a bushel my way!

A late freeze nailed everything I have, so no fruit here. Even got my pecan and chestnut trees.

 

[kmcconaughey]

Jason, very nice!

My blueberry bushes are covered with berries. The berries on a couple of the bushes are just starting to ripen.

Raspberries are ready!

Kraig -

And to top all that off, the dang deer and raccoons ate all of the corn in my garden!

 

[wshytle]

Marty-

Deer and coons are the main reason I stopped trying to grow corn. Coons are the worst...they leave most of the ears for you to see scattered among the broken down corn stalks with only a bite or two out of each. I now harvest my corn from the beds of roadside farmers trucks.

Wayne,

I can take care of the coons. I have a box trap that is going into service in about 20 minutes!
Too late for the corn, though.

While I was setting up at the Spring Valley show this afternoon, This rig pulled in to unload.
Photo-op for sure!! It is powered by a big block Chevy...

Me....It would have had a 426 or 392 HEMI or at least a 440 or a 413!!

 

[mgwin]

David,

Very Nice!!!
What kind of truck is that, IH?

 

[jbaker]

David a 440 six pack would fit the bill,

Thanks for representing the IH Cub Cadet

 

[dschwandt]

Marty, It's a Ford.

Me......
it would be a COE Dodge from the early late 50's

OR......one of the 275 or so Cummins powered Dodge Big Horn Class 8's from 1974/75 !!

Oh, lest I forget, a 53' Rietnour step deck that could easily carry 15 to 20 Cubs!!

Peaches are just about ready, this summer heat wave has got'em changing color quick.

We have read that brown bagging these almost ripe peaches will speed the color change and ripping process. They are starting to fall so figured we would pull a few to try out the brown bagging method that we've read about. The half dozen or so we picked last week came along just fine on the Window Seal. Tender, Juicy, & Delicious! Peach tree was built into landscape of new "to us" house purchase last summer in June. Last year we let them go to long and either squirrels, coon's, or "Something" go to them before us???

Anyway I've been checking out the "Growing Garlic" thread!

Jeff & Kraig -

Very Nice looking garlic bulbs!!! Thanks for the detailed "How Too". We might try it out next year. For now momma's Almost home made spaghetti has to settle for the store bought!

Ugh! LoL
