Anybody have a good deer repellant recipe? My tomatoes were attacked. Guess I have to start thinning the heard by the house.

I keep a radio playing in my garden all summer long. The deer wont go near it, without it I'd have no garden left at all.

If I played that I'd have to stay out!

I just planted some nasturtium. Surprisingly good in salad. Looking forward to pickling the seed pods.

Can't wait til it cranks out a pumpkin.

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.

How did you apply?

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

Commonsense also cures the corona virus ...

First bell pepper of the season. The wife is making fajitas.

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.

Got the beds flipped and all the crabgrass runners pulled out.

Feels good to be ahead of things for a change instead of always playing catch up.

Lost my source of black dirt, so the new beds will have to wait a year.

 

[Barndog56]

Grown inside but man are they good!

Finally got my first round of seeds planted. Peas, kale, basil, lettuce, summer carrots, spinach, radish, leeks, parsley, lovage, dill.

Need to get the first round planted out before I can start peppers and beans, which have to stay inside til June.
