2013 gardens

Yeah, they're bush beans. DON'T put any fertilizer around them. If you already have, it'll be ok, but DON'T add any more. This rule applies to pretty much all beans, for that matter, I've found.

[Flightstopper]

Noted, put very small amount when I first planted. I have a lot to figure out yet. Surprised I even got everything up this year and will try and dial it in next year. Open to any advice out there.

I made a small remark how it would be cool to grow some type of plant to hack down and use for blind material every year. Meant it half as a joke and now my wife has been searching for over an hour for the perfect plant.

You got a good girl brother.

I'd think bamboo would be a good choice. It's fast growing and pretty strong.

[triplecurl]

Bamboo works great for natural cover on a blind. From what I've been told, it spreads once you plant it and its next to impossible to kill.

Cracks me up. Final presentation was zebra grass. Because, "it has variations to help break up the blind better". I can't make this shit up

Pampas grass. Plant a couple at the end of your driveway. They have to be cut down completely when they die after the summer, and you end up with a LOT of blind material, especially after a couple years. Those things get big.

Isn't that the one that cuts you to the bone just for gently touching your ham against it the wrong way? Looked at it last night but looked like the one my neighbors planted in their backyard to slice the jugular vein of any kid who got near their pool.

[assateague]

I don't think so. Maybe you guys are just more tender down there. I've never cut myself when cutting them off and hauling away the tops, but then again, I've never really messed with them too much. We were doing work at a condo complex about 10 years ago, and a bunch of Mexicans came in and started cutting all of those things down for the fall. They had filled up 2 farm trucks with the cuttings, and still had a huge pile in the parking lot. I asked if I could load my truck up, and they were more than happy to let me take as many as I wanted. I had that bitch loaded up like the Beverly Hillbillies. Got home and grassed up a goose blind I had in the middle of a field next to the tax ditch, and it lasted all season. Never sliced me up going in or out.

Excellent, I'm thinking of a different plant then. Also got my cucumbers moved next to the fence like you suggested. Very happy with where I stand now. Can imagine they might start to invade the onions a bit but ill see what comes of it.

You are going to have tons of cucumbers. Wait n see.

I expect to, my father in law had an absurd amount of cucumbers. These are suppose to be pickling cucumbers as well.

You will have to pick them everyday. It gets to be a major pain towards the end.

If it all produces I have quite a few plants that will require a good bit of picking. Beans, okra, assortment of peppers and tomatoes takes up the most of it. Still have some more room to plant.

Dude, you have chicken wire on the fence already, you're golden. Just keep training the vines on the fence. And they should be fine with the onions, since you should have those onions pulled before the cucumbers get out of hand.

[Flightstopper]

Wire was stapled up right before planting. Ran out of what I had laying around and need to get more tomorrow.

[Flightstopper]

Won't be long now. Picked a serrano today but was still a bit early. Tasted like plastic with no spice.

Every time assa says train the cucumbers I can't help but wonder if they are to be force fetched

[Flightstopper]

Mostly CC'd, forces growth at the same time.

Spent the summer of 1973 at my Aunt Barbie's house in Venice, California. One of the neighbors hired me to cut their grass and part of the deal was chopping down the "pampas grass" by their swimming pool.
I mowed their lawn, pulled a bunch of weeds and then attacked the pampas grass. I was a 12-yr-old from Illinois and had never seen the chit before. They got their money's worth watching me chop that crap down. By the time I got to the other side of the bush, the side I just trimmed grew back. Took me a while to finally give up. Lot of head scratching???
They were inside getting drunk and laughing their arses off at me.
