I found that 2 TBSP Cayan pepper and 2 TBSP Dish soap with a gallon of water makes a pretty good repellent and the dish soap also keeps the tiny bugs off from eating the leaves. The plants they chewed up are coming back and they have left the others alone since I started spraying. Works for the Hostas too and my Dahlia's. Need to thin the herd around home.

Spray bottle. The gallon mix has lasted for about a month and I think I need to make another batch. Be careful not to breath it in or you will be coughig for awhile. I also heard it cures Corona virus

Tomatoes are starting to ripen so it's time to get ready for canning. But wait, a sudden shortage of lids. It's crazy. Menards has none and Amazon want $24 for 1 box of 12 lids. I did find another source, Good's Store. They had them for a much more reasonable price.
Anybody starting their seeds yet? Getting ready to start some onions and peppers up here after to week of below zero temps. Now they are forcasting 40's for the next 2 weeks. Should make the sap run like water.
I just started a bunch of cold hardy annual and perennial flowers in a mini greenhouse. It was 25 and sunny today but was 60 degrees in this little greenhouse.

No, not yet. I can see onions and maybe some broccoli or cabbage, seems early for peppers or tomatoes. If I get peppers in when the soil is warm, they just set there and stall. I'm still eating off onions from the last garden! Just received a package of tomatoes, beets, cabbage, collards, green beans, and jalapenos from a buddy in FL, nice to get in the winter.
