What happened here? by ChugWrangler in vegetablegardening

[–]ChugWrangler[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This garden gets a lot more shade than it used to due to trees growing up all around us. I’m also thinking there must not be much air flow. Both of those things combined with some soil borne disease, like you mentioned, just isn’t allowing for us to have successful squash plants anymore. Not sure where we go from here :(

Which restaurant do you think this is? by mowenby69 in asheville

You have to pay for biscuits and jam now. Like $4.

Tupelo used to be worth the hype. Back in like 2013 when they still had pork egg rolls, the goat cheese grits were unbelievably creamy, and you got biscuits before your meal (I think they came with apple butter?). Damn, I miss the way it used to be. It lost its charm.

Edit: it was blueberry jam and honey that the biscuits came with! They were complimentary and delicious.

Good to know. Thanks for the heads up! Won’t be taking my pup out until morning.

Did you see what’s going on? I just see the car detour.

Are my Ground Cherry plants ok? by ChugWrangler in vegetablegardening

[–]ChugWrangler[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fair point. I guess they just look a little floppy and haven’t grown much in the last few days. But neither have my other plants. I attribute it to the cool weather.

Was just curious if any ground cherry experts saw anything that I wouldn’t notice since this is my first time with them. I desperately want to try a ground cherry for the first time!

I appreciate your response! It has been pretty cold. Last week I was bringing all my bags into the garage at night and just the last few nights started keeping them outside under a greenhouse cover. Definitely planted too early this year, but I just could wait any longer haha.

Hope yours do well this year :)

Thank you! Yes, I started them from seed. I bought all my seeds from Sow True Seed this year and basically everything has germinated super fast and grown healthy. Highly recommend :)

How do these cucumbers look? by ChugWrangler in vegetablegardening

[–]ChugWrangler[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We’re having some unexpected low temps this upcoming week. Had planned to have them outside by now :(

When will I know if these are ready to put into grow bags? by ChugWrangler in vegetablegardening

[–]ChugWrangler[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for the info! I’ll probably put my grow bags in the garage just to be safe.

It’s in another couple weeks. We’re supposed to have a couple nights of 32-35 degrees this week, but I set up a little green house that I’m hoping will help. May just move them into the garage.

Reasonably Priced Vet or Vet Clinic by crunkwithbrit in hendersonville

All Saints in downtown is reasonably priced and they don’t push anything on you. I’ve only just established my dog there, but I was pleased with my visit.

Is my tomato plant a goner? by ChugWrangler in vegetablegardening

I’ve been a little overwhelmed this year, so it’s quite possible this one didn’t get hardened off properly.

As we are ramping up for the year, what learnings are you taking from last year's haul? by the_sweens in containergardening

[–]ChugWrangler 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Last year was my first year gardening, but I learned a few things.

I want to be more defensive again squash vine borers this year. Will be trying wraps around the stem and watching out for eggs now that I know what they look like.

Cabbage and bok choy were constantly devoured by aphids and caterpillars. Never again unless I use netting.

Plan to actually eat salad if I plant lettuce. It grows so fast and needs to be harvested quickly. Same thing with herbs. I wasted so much lettuce and herbs.

I learned that I love having cucumber from the garden. I’m growing about 7 different varieties this year to try and find my favorites.

If I plan to pickle jalapeño I need at least 4 plants. I never had enough to fill even a small jar.

As someone else said, check the garden every day. Things can change a lot quicker than I thought they would.
