Now that’s a lot of rye. Bet the chickens will love it too. Nice to hear about the Turkeys. It’s been a pretty good gardening year for many of us this year.
Right back at you.
Really. I wouldn't fib about that.
My garden, it looks like the epicenter of Hiroshima.... but that's Texas.
Root knot nematodes turned out to only affect about 10 square meters of the garden.
I don't know perzactly what to do about that, except the plastic smother, cover, and bake to 150F.
Peanuts, of course, are doing well.
Fall peppers and tobacco in the ground.

Glad to hear you have at least a few crops still going.
What a little doll!
Believe it or not, we are still getting tomatoes. I didn’t know they were drought tolerant. It’s smokin hot here. (I came back to SA so all of our plants didn’t die. Going back to Houston when it cools off a little)
5, 3 year old Morning Glory seeds have given us the lushest, most gorgeous “screen” for our patio cover (10 or 11 feet & up over the roof). If only I could get a yield like that out of vegetable seeds.
God Bless everyone & your gardens.
Contact your local coopertive extension , or Farm Bureau and see if you can contact their orchard specialist.
They will generally suggest you bring in 3-5 specimans typical size and color of those on the tree, and they can generally tell you the variety or cultiver .

Please, by all means. Thanks!
Thank you!
Trial and error, year after year. Read, research, asking and listening to gardening talk radio - WSB AM750 - Walter Reeves show on Saturday morning at 6AM.
I tell the gardening newbies you learn something new every year. The bummer is that you have to wait until next year to apply what you learned this year..
What kind of plant is that?
Beautiful!
Congratulations that the nematode invasion has boundaries. You might have read http://www.firehow.com/2011010923084/how-to-control-nematodes-in-a-vegetable-garden.html
Also, till every two weeks, constantly exposing the soil to the sun, might be another offensive measure.
Thank you for the advice. We actually have a ton of trees on our property producing different kinds of nuts we don’t recognize. I could keep a person very busy trying to identify plants/trees at our new place. I didn’t even think about that! You all are so helpful!
Dittos to that! I started gardening at my Mama’s knee in 1939 or 40
That looks like my tomato plants...
Very few hornworms (6 or so) so far this year, but the wasps found them before my wife.
Ummm...you do know I work for a seed company, Right? LOL!
I’ve found some good ones through the years - the only ones I like to dry are the Juliets. Beau eats them by the bowlful for a snack, and they’re great with pasta and to top pizza. More going in the oven tonight :)
Yes, I do; but you don't have EVERYTHING. Besides that, a good recipe and other tips never hurts the forum at large. :-)
Will do. Look for the new thread next Friday around 2 pm. Till then we post as the mood strikes on this one.
