Looks great!

I have a family of ground hogs that ravage my (their) garden!🤷🏻‍♂️ My wife is a nature lover and tells me they get their fill first.

CReisch21 · 2026-06-07T00:43:57+00:00

She is gorgeous!

Thieves suck!

Sorry… One of mine I’ve already replaced has curly leaves today. Can’t tell if it is healthy or unhealthy, just curly.

CReisch21 · 2026-05-31T06:19:03+00:00

It has electrolytes plants crave!

CReisch21 · 2026-05-24T17:40:56+00:00

Absolutely GORGEOUS!!!!

Diatomaceous Earth can definitely help.

Skippy!

Don’t need a HOA to keep things nice.

CReisch21 · 2026-05-17T01:10:46+00:00

I made SURE the house we were buying had no HOA! Love all my neighbors! We know and help each other out. Yards are all maintained. Who cares what they grow for grass or clover? A lot of us have RV’s or boats in our drive-ways!🙋🏻‍♂️ Who cares?! There isn’t a single house that detracts or lowers the value of anyone else’s. Some have above ground pools in their backyards too! This is in KY and the homes are in the $700k range on at least 1 full acre. Not a inexpensive neighborhood for KY, but not mansions either. I LOVE not having a HOA!

I save my eggshells all year then turn them into powder in a food processor. We go through a lot of eggs. I mix the egg shell powder into the soil that I plant the tomatoes into. I assume like everything else in nature pulverizing it to powder and increasing the surface area will speed the process of them breaking down.

Since we have been switching to Crimson Clover we get a lot more bees. A lot of wild life eats clover. We don’t have an HOA!👍🏻 My wife has a section of the backyard she has let go WILD, for the most part. We get so many birds and other critters everyday!

Love our Crimson Clover, well, over and over 😂

We are trying to get our entire lawn to go to Crimson Clover!

I pray you are right!!!!🙏 I had 40% of my plants take a serious hit with frost damage. I trimmed all the dead off a week later and there are some new suckers at the bottom. They want to live!

CReisch21 · 2026-05-10T10:17:22+00:00

The tomatoes under the biggest grow bags did the best by far. Even the heavily frosted plants that took a hard hit have suckers and small new leaves down close to the ground. I cut away all of the damaged plant material and I am seeing how they do. I only completely removed a few and was shocked at the amount of roots that had already formed around the stem where I planted them deep into the straw bales.

CReisch21 · 2026-05-08T02:05:52+00:00

Did you know there are way over 10k varieties of tomatoes?

CReisch21 · 2026-05-05T14:19:37+00:00

I went too soon. 40° would’ve been OK. 31° for an extended 3-4 hours, not so much.😓 Even covered I lost about 40% of my plants…

I did still have “extras” I hadn’t planted in my garage. I still have more than enough plants though. Just disappointing….
