RE: What's in your garden? - tvguy - 07-31-2018 I haven't planted any fruit trees because I know it would be a lot of work to prune spray and take care of. But a fig tree. Ima getting one or some. By Bamboos all 3 at least types are doing awesome RE: What's in your garden? - tvguy - 07-31-2018 im to tired to typ RE: What's in your garden? - chuck white - 07-31-2018 (07-31-2018, 09:16 PM)tvguy Wrote: I haven't planted any fruit trees because I know it would be a lot of work to prune spray and take care of. I have a bunch of cherry plums, that don't need any care. Just don't try to eat them all.

The one Valuesize has looks like a tree. Mine looks more like a shrub. My neighbors looks the same so maybe that's how they grow around here.

My neighbors looks the same so maybe that's how they grow around here. When we bought it, it was one straight stick with a few leaves on top. Come winter it was only the straight stick again. It'll be interesting what it does this winter. The pear tree we planted at the same time flowered beautifully, but didn't produce any fruit. Perhaps next year?

At the house we lived in out by Wimer we had a fig tree. It was actually a tree. 20 ft tall and 10 in wide at the base. RE: What's in your garden? - Valuesize - 09-27-2018 Anyone know why I'm getting these strange tomatoes? Can we do something different so we don't get these cracks? Many if not most are this way.

Many if not most are this way. I think you are over watering. That's what makes them crack. But some grow like that anyway, like Beefsteaks which is why I never grow them. The one with all the brown on the bottom could have blossom rot.

I don't mind what they look like, but I see my wifes point for sandwiches and salad use.

There are plenty of awesome tomatoes to grow so why bother with any that grow all weird like that.(09-27-2018, 09:29 PM)tvguy Wrote:(09-27-2018, 09:13 PM)Valuesize Wrote: Anyone know why I'm getting these strange tomatoes? Can we do something different so we don't get these cracks? Many if not most are this way. But any tomatoes will crack if you over water and I see that in some places on those pictured. I have a silver maple tree that had cracks in it. Then earwigs would get in the cracks and it could kill the limb or the tree. When I looked it up I found that I water too much too fast. RE: What's in your garden? - GPnative - 09-28-2018 As TV said, and I concur, I believe you may be over watering.

We usually wait until they start to wilt and then water at night. Perhaps using the sprinkler system that wets the whole plant has something to do with it? That and they are the beefsteak variety. Thanks all!

Better to water in the morning especially if you are watering the whole plant with a sprinkler, this allows nastiness to occur when the water sits on the plants all night and could certainly be a source of the problem. Even if plant is wilty by evening, that is OK, that's how they survive the heat, if they perk back up when the sun goes down, no water needed.

Overhead watering is not so good and especially when the plants are well all night.

Mine was set at 5 min every other night when it was in the 90's every day. 5 min. as needed at other times. RE: What's in your garden? - Cuzz - 10-14-2018 Dug up the veggie patch for the year. Winter squash is curing in the sun, the last of the cukes and tomatoes are in the dehydrator and I'm doubting I'll get any more figs though there's still some green ones out there. Already planning for next year. Now that's optimism! Oh yeah, picked one last meal worth of fresh green beans.
