Ride Delaware ? Posted August 11, 2016 Report Share Posted August 11, 2016 Yeah, you're probably right. I just find it really hard to kill something we are not going to eat. I did read recently squirrel meat is really good for you. Very lean. Yuck, like eating a rat.I have no problem when they are considered a nuisance animal. I've heard squirrel stew is good. I've eaten muskrat. Not so good. I'd do it to protect my blueberry bushes... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ride Delaware ? Posted August 17, 2016 Report Share Posted August 17, 2016 Those look amazing Toast. I've never had luck with them. What's your secret? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
momskeeztoo Posted August 17, 2016 Author Report Share Posted August 17, 2016 This is probably a good year for them, not much rain. They are not all watery. We've had some really great ones from the farm we buy stuff from. Tried to grow them once and they were awful. We might try again next year. Next year not doing corn. It was delicious, but the squirrels made a mess out of it. They can't just take an ear and eat it. Gotta take a bite out of each ear. Bastards. We actually have some blackberries this year. I thought the birds would get them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
enjoralas Posted August 17, 2016 Report Share Posted August 17, 2016 Those melons look fantastic. Small seed cavity, lot of fruit. Great color. Might have one ready to pick myself here in a few days Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

enjoralas Posted August 17, 2016 Report Share Posted August 17, 2016 Not quite ready yet, but getting there. Came home from vacation to LOADED up jalapeño plants. Fair amount of bell peppers too. 7 plants all look like this one Some color showing up in the habanero bush. Spaghetti squash is still spreading like wildfire, up and over anything in its path Tallest sunflowers are about 8.5-9 ft and still going. Cucumbers are dying out but there are still a few plants producing. Lost a dozen or so while I was gone, got super dat and turned orange. Roma tomatoes are starting to color as well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

enjoralas Posted August 18, 2016 Report Share Posted August 18, 2016 That cantaloupe looks about ready. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk It's close, but it's still pretty green instead of turning cream/orange behind the netting, and doesn't have the tell-tale crack at the stem. Those are the signs I've always looked for, anyway. I did handle it a bit because I know when they are ripe they will pop right off, but she wasn't giving up the vine.

enjoralas Posted August 19, 2016 Report Share Posted August 19, 2016 Enjoralas that garden looks fabulous. Thanks, it's really doing pretty well this year. Carrots and peas were a disappointment, but everything else has or is really come through. Here is what I ended up picking last night: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

enjoralas Posted October 1, 2016 Report Share Posted October 1, 2016 Got a pretty good crop of carrots Carrots look real nice. I pulled one the other night as a test, it looked good. Will probably pull them all tomorrow. Tomatoes and peppers are still churning out the production. Gonna make some more sauce, salsa, hot pepper relish and jalapeno jelly this weekend. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
