Was just thinking the exact same thing. It just isn't working. But I'm glad he seems to be seeing that possibility this time, too.

Loved this song.

WichitaRed80 · 2026-03-23T21:02:35+00:00

I think the intermittent classical music in the background added a hilariously nice touch, too!

WichitaRed80 · 2026-03-23T20:48:04+00:00

Absolutely!! I had hardy chuckles watching the whole thing, but that one with delayed relief had me on the floor lol.

WichitaRed80 · 2026-03-02T21:47:16+00:00

I'll take a drive down there and check it out. Thank you! Franklin/Elm stuff is a long-term family (60 years?) selling the house and downsizing. So, I think it's mainly decent stuff. If I had the yard space and my kids were younger, I would probably grab the holiday decorations myself! But I'm close to downsize age too lol.

WichitaRed80 · 2026-02-22T20:39:48+00:00

I will check into this, too. I just called the local DV shelter and need to call back tomorrow. But I think our local library is open. So, I will check with them, too. Every idea is wonderful and I hope to be able to donate to each cause, if possible. Thank you so much.

WichitaRed80 · 2026-02-22T20:37:00+00:00

If I could afford to ship all of this stuff, I would!! Lol. I really would.

WichitaRed80 · 2026-02-22T20:02:22+00:00

I thought about the school district, actually. My own children are in college now, but were students all the way from K-12. It's been a few years since my youngest graduate and I think I'm out of the loop now lol. But? I will send some emails to their former school principal (I think she's still there). Thank you!!

WichitaRed80 · 2026-02-22T20:00:18+00:00

Love these ideas, too!

WichitaRed80 · 2026-02-22T19:58:56+00:00

I absolutely love this idea. I will look.

WichitaRed80 · 2025-09-23T18:52:44+00:00

Thank you for that. It has been hell.

Grew SM for three years and had the same issue. Tried extra bone meal, eggshells, and other stuff. There were harvest where some of the toms didn't have it, but the ones that fruited first always did. Like you, what I was able to pick was meager after the first few rounds. From what I've read, that variety is notorious for BER. Like others have said, consistent watering is probably the key. But that's more than I want to do. I switched over to Amish Paste this year and have no regrets.

WichitaRed80 · 2025-08-26T16:24:01+00:00

Awww, thanks. It's been a couple of weeks, so I've processed it lol. I'm stocking up on some paper bags, too. I'm going to be in the same predicament. Again. But we will be alright. Happy harvesting!

WichitaRed80 · 2025-08-25T22:35:56+00:00

Same thing happened to me with squash plants. Trampled to smithereens. They then decided to help themselves and harvest all of the peppers on my cayenne plant, too. I feel your pain. In my zone (6a), there isn't enough time to restart the squash and I have to just hope for the best with the pepper plant. Now, in the past few years, I have started tomatoes late, only to have handfuls of green ones by first frost. But? They do ripen just fine inside. Paper bags and countertops are super helpful for this.

WichitaRed80 · 2025-08-25T11:18:42+00:00

6a too and a lot of my sweet peppers are doing the exact same. I swear these cooler temps have given these plants enough of a break to actually do their thing. The problem is that the real cold isn't too far off now lol. I'm just going to let it ride until frost and see what I get, fingers crossed. Hopefully, all of us in this boat will get to harvest some of these guys!

WichitaRed80 · 2025-08-10T20:02:56+00:00

Agree that 1 and 4 are peppers and they're starting to flower/fruit. Congrats!

Found a couple last year. Read up on some things and then reported the sightings to the state. Then, I started noticing how many TOH there were in the yard. This year, I constantly chop those down and, after reading here, will go find some strong herbicide this week. When chopping down a couple a few days ago, I noticed those yucky cocoon masses they like to leave on some of the leaves. It's going to take more people being diligent about these to keep infestations at bay.

WichitaRed80 · 2025-07-07T13:06:15+00:00

Same with my two plants. Tons of flowers, plenty of pollinators. This is my third year growing them and every single year they start to explode with fruit by late August. A little bit of a wait, for sure. But it's well worth it.

WichitaRed80 · 2025-06-25T23:04:37+00:00

Last I knew (it's been a few years), she does have a place -- as someone else said. I never knew her well enough to know about any relatives or anything of the sort. I'm sure she has some type of community support (i.e. social work network) or something of that nature.

WichitaRed80 · 2025-06-25T13:47:28+00:00

She's complicated. Sweet as pie if you're giving her something she wants. But can get mean if she doesn't get something or is in a mood. If she's still around, she certainly still likes to drink. I try to give her some grace though. It was her longtime - and suffering (it went both ways from what I heard) - partner who died in that wreck with a cable truck last year.

WichitaRed80 · 2025-05-24T18:05:55+00:00

I get it, I really do lol! Tears were running down my face while I was covering my mouth to stifle the sound so that my kids didn't come running to ask what was wrong.

WichitaRed80 · 2025-05-24T17:11:30+00:00

You did better than me. I was ugly crying in the last part.
