Going to have some nice extra’s for meals this year looks like. Tx heat is starting to get here, be in the high 80’s and 90 from now on. The small okra plants will grow fast now. Hope ya’ll have good luck to.

Two batches were relegated to a gallon or so of leather britches & another went into the pot with some new cream taters & bacon. Another on the way tomorrow that we will eat. Usually do a swap between eating the very first batch & preserving (drying, freezing, canning) every other batch from that point until they wear out.

]]>https://waltonsdev.nodebb.com/post/77972https://waltonsdev.nodebb.com/post/77972Tue, 17 May 2022 21:50:24 GMTI use the gravel to keep the soil from the drain hole along with the landscape fabric over the gravel. It give a place for the water to sit below the soil and the ability to drain without taking a whole lot of soil with it. It only take a couple of inches.

]]>https://waltonsdev.nodebb.com/post/77896https://waltonsdev.nodebb.com/post/77896Mon, 16 May 2022 04:43:38 GMTjohnsbrewhouse This is my first year container gardening and I am seeing the success I had hoped for. Before my back going south I had the traditional garden and never had any problems, but this is different for sure. I am wondering now if I should add gravel in the bottom next time, what advice do you have?

]]>https://waltonsdev.nodebb.com/post/77884https://waltonsdev.nodebb.com/post/77884Mon, 16 May 2022 03:05:27 GMTcalldoctoday Ours are small too, just lots of them at certain times of the year. Our place in the hills we really have problems with them since the creek is right next to everything and we have standing water on the timber company property most of the year. Wife is allergic to the bites, they are allergic to me. They blow up and pop.

]]>https://waltonsdev.nodebb.com/post/77596https://waltonsdev.nodebb.com/post/77596Wed, 11 May 2022 03:02:53 GMTjohnsbrewhouse I understand. I went to Minnesota a few times & Wisconsin. Loved it & great fishing to help the work out, but I was shocked at how big the Musquitos were. They are still meaner in Louisiana & Texas, even though smaller. In Louisiana they really gang up on you though.

The wasps just coming out a couple of weeks ago. The neighbors bee’s have been busy for a couple of months.

]]>https://waltonsdev.nodebb.com/post/77580https://waltonsdev.nodebb.com/post/77580Wed, 11 May 2022 00:43:48 GMTjohnsbrewhouse Well, we could probably use just a bit of that too & kill off some of those bugs!

]]>https://waltonsdev.nodebb.com/post/77568https://waltonsdev.nodebb.com/post/77568Tue, 10 May 2022 23:29:55 GMTWow, can’t plant here until May 15. I remember staggering my planting in Louisiana to spread out harvest. No need in IL.

]]>https://waltonsdev.nodebb.com/post/77555https://waltonsdev.nodebb.com/post/77555Tue, 10 May 2022 20:35:49 GMTcalldoctoday We had frost this morning and it was 32 degrees when I got up and about. The sun comes up around 5 am here so the temperature was probably lower last night. I was going to plant yesterday, but the rain took care of that and good thing. I’ll just wait a couple of days. Rest up and enjoy your bounty.

]]>https://waltonsdev.nodebb.com/post/77530https://waltonsdev.nodebb.com/post/77530Tue, 10 May 2022 04:21:11 GMTjohnsbrewhouse sounds like you’re ready to roll. Good luck

]]>https://waltonsdev.nodebb.com/post/77456https://waltonsdev.nodebb.com/post/77456Mon, 09 May 2022 04:32:12 GMTHoping to get things going today. It’s 40 degrees this morning, snowing in the mountains and they just extended the ski season at one resort until the end of the month. Got to load gravel in the bottoms of the troughs and then the soil. Then everything should be ready to plant. The raised beds have been tilled, just need to be raked and weeds pulled out. I have my only crop, the cilantro that doesn’t seem to mind sub-freezing weather. Have to work the compost bin too, that’s where my pumpkins grow and it’s full of chickweed right now.

]]>https://waltonsdev.nodebb.com/post/77369https://waltonsdev.nodebb.com/post/77369Sun, 08 May 2022 14:26:56 GMTI’m in Iron. Since I posted my comment the warm weather has teken care of the lakes and the snow and I have started to get a little more enthused about the garden. I even got a few tomato plants at Menards yeserday. Still too cold to be ouside, I have them in my greenhouse but looking forward to summer.

Must be a sign that squirrel or armadillo stew is in the horizon!

]]>https://waltonsdev.nodebb.com/post/76846https://waltonsdev.nodebb.com/post/76846Sun, 01 May 2022 17:56:23 GMTLooking good! Mine is up and growing, but you are way ahead of me as my tomatoes are only about a foot tall and my squash are about half the size of yours and no blooms yet. It is so dry where I am right now I am really having to water often. Hoping mother nature will give me some good moisture soon.

]]>https://waltonsdev.nodebb.com/post/76822https://waltonsdev.nodebb.com/post/76822Sun, 01 May 2022 03:51:20 GMTtarp looking very good and ahead of the game.
