Like this one?

That there be a bananer slug.
I went out the other night and saw nothing, no pill bugs, slugs, or snails or otherwise. Lots of snails in other locations of the yard.

Robins eat worms and insects don't they? Go out at night Tia and see if you can see any bugs. Or if it is birds put some screen over the plants?

Birds are not out at night they are sleeping.

There was a little delay getting my greenhouse. Yesterday I went to the vendor and actually tried to get out of buying it. After OL showed me the one from Harbor Freight Tool at almost half price I did not want to buy the more expensive one in GP. But I had made a partial payment of half the costs and I was obligated to pay the rest.
Anyway the vendor was very understanding and gave me a $150 discount probably just to stop my whining and so I got it. I'll set it up myself today. Yes I decided I didn't want to pay for assembly either. Comments in this thread motivated the changes. Yay RVF! I sometimes get very good information from this place.

Tia, that pic was deee-sgusting. It also looked kinda like the one I saw.
This is a short article called, "Garden As If Your Life Depended On It...."
What's for Supper Down the Road?
As they move through the next few decades Americans can expect
§ the price of conventionally produced food to rise and not come down again,
§ prices to rollercoaster so that budgeting is unpredictable,
§ some foods to become very expensive compared to what we're used to
§ and others, beginning with some of the multiple versions of the same thing made by the same company to garner a bigger market share and more shelf space, to gradually become unavailable.

It's time to plant Walla walla's
or any other onion if you want them to get big.My garden is soaking wet but I do have a raised area for some onions. I hate to plant there again because I have grown onions in the same spot two years in a row.
I guess I will anyway because at least they will be in the ground early.
RE: What's in your garden? - cletus1 - 04-17-2011
OK, its a toy greenhouse.![[Image: Greenhouse.jpg]](http://i233.photobucket.com/albums/ee21/1cletus/Greenhouse.jpg)

RE: What's in your garden? - APPLEGATE - 04-17-2011
I have one too. Great bucket.
RE: What's in your garden? - Valuesize - 04-17-2011
That is a fine greenhouse! We haven't had much luck with our "green" greenhouse.

What are those walls made out of? Empty water bottles? Or are they full?

Did you really terminate your porch steps into the side of your green house?
Did you also really block part of your window with same?
I'm hoping that there is a pathway to those steps that I am missing due to bad eyesight or out of frame architecture. I guess we could jump the dog and the hose when we come over for hot dogs.
I hate to admit it but I'm jealous of your backyard. I have a cool koi pond but the rest is kinda sad. Help me out and show me the un-picked-up dog poop.
RE: What's in your garden? - Lopaka - 04-17-2011
Nothing yet. However, we are only planting Heirloom Seeds (non-hybrids) this year. We will harvest the produce and save seeds for next year. These will germinate; hybrid germination is almost non-existent.

Oh, they will germinate, but you won't get what it came from.
Peas, lettuce, cabbage.

The wet surface in front makes it appear like the dry concrete behind is another step but it is the flat surface of the patio. Two steps are also on the other side of the landing.(04-17-2011, 05:10 PM)cletus1 Wrote:

That is a temporary location for the greenhouse. Right now I am planting seeds and I did not want to walk far. In late may I will put the green house out by the shed so I can have my little patio back for summer. I'll probably leave it by the shed permanently because I will store planting mix and pots in the shed. Also, when I spill a little soil I wont have to hose it off.
I scoop poop daily so I dont have any to show you right now. How about some blackberry brush that is starting to grow on my back fence. It looks terrible.
RE: What's in your garden? - tvguy - 04-18-2011
I have a stainless steel bucket that was free. It's half of swimming pool sand filter some fool was going to toss. It makes a nice utensil to keep water for my dog.
Nice little green house Clete, I want one too. I'll probably wait till I can buy one for 5 bucks, that's how I roll.
RE: What's in your garden? - PonderThis - 04-18-2011
Send a kid with rocks into Cletus's back yard and you might be able to get it for that.

Why? I don't get this attraction to heirlooms?IF it's about taste I always grow several varieties of hybrids and I can't imagine ANY tomato tasting better than some of them.
Plus to me getting red tomatoes as early as possible is always one of my main goals.It there is a local heirloom plant that is know for producing early tomaters I'm game for trying something like that.BTW I think my dog could easily distract Clete's pup while I steal his first reds.
hybrid germination is almost non-existent Well yes because the seeds from a hybrid won't produce the same parent plant so why would anyone want to germinate hybrid seeds?
