Message: [QUOTE="ClifSpliffy, post: 4033454, member: 9260"] update on second planting, post Independence Day stuff. pretty darn good. those cukes and tomatos are coming along nicely as the first planting harvest is coming to a close, but with some rains coming back (so far his year: drought, big water, then drought again, now some rain) they may catch a break and put out some moar. those second cukes held up well, no bitterness, coming off those weeks of limited rain, tho it did cause the burrowing wasps to show up again. mushrooms started to calm down, but again, this rain will prolly cause them to return. i still ain't eating them. second plant cantaloupes looking good, too, so reason now to net/protect them from the varmints. that's the only problem with the lopes around here, as they almost grow on autopilot, with mostly just uninvited critters messin them up. it really stinks to find a bunch of them lookin good only to find some chewed on the underside. i mean, 4 or 5 in a row with some chomps on them -aaaarrrrggggghhhhh! why couldn't you just stick to one, varmint? 3 years running now (never happened before) where bambi has a seemingly new found taste in brown turkey fig leaves. wild grapes and cherries in the forest seem to be having a good year, honeysuckle too. bigtime bat resurgence, gettin fat on skeeters. not a squirrel year so far. good.
