Tex_77 Yum! Yesterday I had Mulitas Chuleta en Chile Verde from ‘The Happy Wanderer’ Mexican restaurant…they were delicious!
I gave up on growing tomatillos years ago. I never had luck with them. My garden is really starting to produce. Squash, zucchini and cucumbers are coming on strong right now and it’s looking to be a bumper crop of tomatoes.
Joe Hell I was not too smart this year. I decided to let my garden go to fallow for the first time in ages. I figured it needed a break & we were really busy with our best January ever. Then the Corona Business hit…
Margaret has really been on my case to get a Fall garden ready & thankfully, they usually do us better anyways. -
I am not sure why it sensored “Corona Business Hit”?

Hit, it hit. It hit everywhere. Still not sure why the computer system keeps censoring that!

Sounds to me like the Rattle snake we found in our yard several weeks ago, I do not like it at all, I do not like it one bit!
-

Jonathon I’m sorry I was just joking ( which is why I said preformed, some even call it tube steak) but from the sources I see it has a pretty high fat content.
I have had it grilled and really was okay. I think I would approach it as a chicken sausage.

Joe Hell I have no idea what you ate…lol. The key to growing them is you have to have at least plants. I have had one good year, one bad, and this year seems to be going ok.
My cucumbers are coming on strong as well, I’ve made a cucumber salsa as well as creamed cucumbers. I’ve also been grilling a lot of zucchini and yellow squash.
Tex_77 I am frickin’ jealous. I have harvested one, three inch pickling cuke. I have a couple of families of speed beef, aka whitetails that have developed a fondness for my dill, cilantro and hot peppers. Never had an issue before, my tomatoes and garlic are about the size of a quarter. Unfortunately our season really doesn’t kick in until 6/1, long days, but short season. Just a tad bit too far north for a decent growing season, just 50-100 south is a whole different story. We do have great ice fishing though.

Tex_77 Weed block LOL All I can do is pray… I used a weed and feed designed for southern lawns of Bermuda on my Bermuda grass in the back yard, It killed the Bermuda and fed the crab grass. I’m ready to kill everything and just sod the lawn.
-
I just use a good weed and feed.and let the wife cut the lawn. She has been hinting at a rider but I am holding out for that Walton’s meat mixer first. I have been trying to get a good night’s sleep on the couch all summer.
-
Chef YooperDog I was referring more to the garden than my lawn. My lawn is looking good, still trying to kill out some bermuda, without killing the fescue. The only crab grass I have in the yard is around the edges for the most part, so it gets a shot of RoundUp. Working in Ag I have access to a plethora of chemicals and fertilizer.

calldoctoday Don’t scare him off now. I need something to put in my juicer. lol

Tex_77 I use cotton burrs. It comes in bags like most mulch does it’s a good blocker that lasts the whole growing season. Then when it’s time to till the next spring it has turned to compost. I’ve used it the last 4years and it has really loosened the soil and has been all the fertilizer that I have needed
