[Cross-7]

Is there a secret to growing tomatoes that no one has told me.
I've never been able to grow tomatoes.
I have the biggest healthiest plants that have been loaded with blooms for a month but not a single tomato.

I'm not doing something right

Just found a bunch of hornworms
Never saw the little boogers till now

My corn had a serious worm problem this year lucky to get what I got it rained so much spraying for worms didn't help much

Looks good to me. I don't spray for worms. Never know they had worms after you cut the tips off

normally they are on the tip but this year they got down to the middle of the ear in some cases.. and thanks I hope it tastes pretty good.

If I was in the neighborhood I'd sure sit down with you and we'd see how many we could destroy. lolol You don't get between me and a watermelon. :cowboy:

Armadillos have about wiped me out
An electric fence doesn't slow them down

The only solution I've been able to find involves a motion detector alarm that wakes me up in the middle of the night and a .22 with a flashlight. The first few nights I'm up like a new parent but it quiets down after that.

Yesterdays cauliflower harvest.

 

[ga.prime]

Couldn't look any better, slick. Cauliflower is one of the few garden vegetables I've never grown.

 

[slick4591]

Thanks. We planted our first in the spring and they didn't look near this good. These are the first three heads as there's more coming on.

 

[ga.prime]

Slick, when did you set out your plants? Around Labor Day I'd guess.

 

[slick4591]

A little after. Sept. 23rd to be exact.

 

[alisonb]

Very nice Slick. Thinking about putting some in this autumn, will be a first for me...any tips will be welcome

 

[slick4591]

Thanks, Ali. These were planted, watered when need and pretty much ignored.

You really ought to write a book on 'How to grow cauliflower' Slick
