Not pollinated.End rot on my Squash? Just the excessive rain, or something more serious.
I got these two (and a few more) small squash/zuchini out of the garden yesterday. Am considering making a "soup" of calcium nitrate along with a heavy helping of powdered milk and a good dose of epsom salts. Never used these except on tomatoes. Any ideas what may be happening?
The soil is a straight topsoil/compost (50/50) mix. Not much amendment otherwise.
ANY input appreciatedView attachment 215810 View attachment 215811 View attachment 215812 View attachment 215813
Starting to worry about the rabbits since the neighbor said she saw them nosing around the patch...
sounds like you could have a 5-for-the-price-of-1 to me.Squirrels are climbing up into my containers and digging around, like there is actually something for them to eat! Took my pellet gun out yesterday, but he was "gone" (more than 30 yards, which is beyond my range with a pellet) before I got there. I wish I had something to sting him good and not kill him, as I am sure there are kits somewhere.
they sure do. but you can't watch the garden 12hrs a day every day. they learn your schedule just as much as you learn theirs...A good ol fashion Red Ryder will put a sting on them. They learn fast to split as soon as they see you.
Nope, no grounding needed. My chicken pen is very similar but built with t-posts. But, why did you put the garden in a cage?It just occurred to me...
Am I building a giant lighting attractor?
Faraday cage?
Should I be grounding this thing?

I don’t think so. I think the lightning is more likely to hit something that is taller and also grounded, like a really tall house or tree. From your pictures, I don’t think this structure is close to being as tall as those other items.It just occurred to me...

What do y'all recommend for killing grubs in my raised beds? We treat with the plants with Seven dust but what about the soil at this stage of the game?

rabbits took out all my peas that were sprouting. some of the squahcchini are still hanging around, cucumbers and beans still seem to be growing without depredation. peppers are 3 weeks in without sprouting.
I'm abut to order 4x300' of 2" chicken wire, which should take care of most of the critters
Had a fellow forum member stop by for some business. The wife pulled a cabbage for him and had it sittin on the bench beside some backyard eggs she was sending as well.
I swear that thing called me Seymour and it was looking at me all hungry like.
I thought it was right purty.
