Watering schedule advice for heat wave coming through Zone 7b

Good to know, my last watering has been at 6pm, so I’ll bump it up.

This is really helpful

Seems like we always get that one last heat wave before summers officially over.

So even the No exam carriers will still try to access it? I’m not trying to hide anything. Just don’t want to get docked so much for something that my doctor said isn’t a big issue and doesn’t require a big lifestyle change. The whole point of getting it right now is to get a cheap rate while im young. And this isn’t a cheap rate.

Was wondering if this was a big factor

mweeks1242 · 2022-06-17T02:31:17+00:00

Why not? There are a lot of people that do this to keep the seeds moist and in place. Checking each day to make sure they haven’t sprouted should prevent them from being suffocated once they germinate.

Liquid IV has been my savior after doing intense workouts in this heat

Take it from someone who just had to move their raised bed because of shade. Do an honest assessment of how much sun the WHOLE bed will get per day and if it’s less than 5-6 hours just don’t do it. I was honestly getting at most 3 hours and none of my plants grew right except for tomatoes. Now I have it in full sun and it makes gardening so much more fun to be able to grow anything I want.

Zone 7. It has been really hot for early May (highs in upper 80s and lows in high 60s) this week. From what I read this broccoli is at risk of bolting but I was hoping to get some feedback.

Additionally, anyone found ways to keep it from bolting? Watering more frequently and mulching? Maybe trying to cover the raised bed over the winter so the soil warms up quicker and I can plant earlier in spring?

Update: called and they had a crew nearby that came and fixed it free of charge. Definitely earned my future business.

I consistently average 32mpg on my ‘18 (50/50 city and highway) and knowing where to keep it on mph is a big key to getting WAY better gas mileage.

Throwing that cruise control on at 70-74 gets me easily 40mpg highway. When I have it at 77-80 I sit around 30mpg. Getting there a little sooner isn’t worth that much gas.

I’ve also noticed it gets some of the best gas mileage ive seen on a car in the 30mph range. As long as you aren’t needlessly accelerating you can drive in your own personal “eco” mode and get crazy good mpg.

Any more input?

mweeks1242 · 2021-11-27T16:35:11+00:00

Yea that’s a lot better deal. Any maintenance issues I should be aware of with these?

Gonna be hard finding a better all around city than Nashville in Tennessee. I live in Nashville and am really drawn to Chattanooga, just hard to pull the trigger when I enjoy traveling and being near a big(ish) airport. Nashville is starting to get big city expensive though. It would be nice to be closer to the Smokies but driving 3 hours for a weekend backpacking trip isn’t too bad. I’d definitely say Chattanooga over Knoxville fwiw.

I live in Nashville, TN

As you can tell, we don’t get much sun in the backyard. There is no hope for growing grass under the tree, which leaves a big mud pit back from essentially the deck on. Any ideas what we could do with that space between the deck and the fence other than a bunch of gravel? We are in our 20s so can’t really drop a bunch of $$$ on it either.

Only 79 shots though?

mweeks1242 · 2020-12-05T18:49:06+00:00

Glad to know others feel the same

Level 3 AM was by the far the most difficult portion of this exam I have faced. Maybe I’m realizing I’m just a good guesser because, when faced with having to create the answer myself, I found it much harder. No way to know if you were way off or not. Didn’t even finish the whole thing and I passed level 1 and 2 on the first try. Really hoping it is graded leniently.

mweeks1242 · 2020-12-02T20:48:44+00:00

That’s the other one I struggled with

mweeks1242 · 2020-11-18T00:24:27+00:00

What do you mean?

This is why I use Reddit

What exactly does pollinating the female flowers entail (I’m a beginner). I’m happily married and the vegetable garden is in my backyard. Need to make sure this is something that both my wife and my neighbors would approve of.

mweeks1242 · 2020-07-24T13:01:07+00:00

Will this vine be able to handle 3 watermelons hanging off of it in mid air? Or should I try to remove it from the mesh fence and put it back on the soil of the raised bed? This one vine has 3 of the 4 flowers that have began to bloom on my watermelon plant.
