I know there are a few gardeners here...

Just a thought

What he said...

my veggie garden sucks (no sun). My flower garden is great.

Just a Heads up :)
I will have to double check but the best time to TRAP and REMOVE them woodchucksters is March / April
Not when your watching your lawn grow :smash:

I never "Removed" one last year :wall:, I plan on getting the drop on them this year .... lmfao

Yes there is interest in such a topic.

I would participate for sure

yes

I'm in.

Got a small job today, building a cold frame. Was lucky to find two storm doors at the transfer station, which will make it easy.

Should we combine it all? DIY, Guns, Home, & Garden?

These guys pull it off quite well: Garden and Gun | Soul of the South

(Seriously)

yesterday, i decided to make a storm stew....
with beef, carrots, celery, broccoli ,red potatoes, red bell pepper,scallions,porta bella mushrooms,....ect.
and it cost around $40.00 bucks in ingredients. Yikes!
But it came out SUPERB... the snow is wet and heavy and i needed energy+ .
This year i am growing everything in Pots 1-5 gallons (totally mobile)
and then i will be
planting them in the ground after cutting more root holes in the bottom which
will facilitate the roots getting out and make watering and weeding a breeze.:uhuh:

OK - we'll try this again without the tangent taken

Sorry John...
yes it would be useful to ask questions about garden and even lawncare!

the word GARDEN is used with a broad brush
and usually means ornamental s (flowers)
and shrubbery or landscaping ones yard.

Growing food is a whole different subject.
Gardens and Guns isn't about food gardens.

I made some delicious waffles for my son for breakfast this morning. He likes to put mini chocolate chips on them.

Rav, $40 for stew is about right, It costs me over $20 to make chicken
soup.
Crazy, there is no inflation. :doh:

I make blueberry pancakes for my Grandkids using "Heart Smart Bisquick"
and add egg whites for whole eggs. Pretty healthy, taste betta then the Diner's and fill ya up real good on a cold day. :)

Can't beat growing herbs either, they are sky high $$$.

they are habitually "on time" and you can take advantage of that trait
with stealthy observation as to when they come out to play in your garden.
[ usually 9:30 am] Translated: EAT whatever they want....

Just merge it into the DIY thread...that makes sense.

I have nine raised beds, berries and three pit aeas fdor my soon to be world record pumpkin, I'm in.

I'm into the giant pumpkin growing as well. Been doing it the last 3 years now. My best was about 250.

Maybe we can get a pumpkin growing contest going.

I would love to get my hands on some seeds. My kids would dig the giant pumpkin thing.

Grew a pumpkin when I was 10 that wouldn't fit into the wheel barrow ! Won 1st at the local fair that fall . If you guys are serious , may wanna try this 1229 - Mycos - Mycorrhizal Inoculant 2.2lbs .

Had a girlfriend who's father used to sit on a porch and spit his watermellon seeds over the rail. One took root and grew a ginormous watermellon that eventually was entered in a fair and took second place. :)

Pretty sure I still have a bunch of seeds from my 250lber. I'd be happy to dole some out to whoever wants some. Though I cannot guarantee they will actually sprout.

Should do one someday

Never pulled my brocolli plants at the end of last season.Brand new plants are growing out of the bases of the old plants and they already have buds.Unreal.

Last year I rented a plot at the Community Gardens in town, Had some successes and some not so successes. pretty good deal in town here if you can get one. When I dug in and cleared everything because it was so overgrown I found a pretty well established Herb Garden there

Looking forward to trying a few new things this year...

Did really well with Peppers, Summer Squash, Zucchini and Italian Green Beans were Good.

Peas, Tomatos, Cucumbers, Spinach and Corn were just OK.

Onions, Scallions, Carrots, Eggplant were non-existent

This year I'm going to lose the Onions, Scallions, and Carrots and Add Butternut Squash, Lettuce, and Bok Choi....may throw in some watermelons too....

I grow a few things watermelons,Pumkins nothing big just god for the Kids to carve in the fall.

This is the stuff you put into the hole first.

All you potential pumpkins growers should join the New England Giant Pumpkin Growers Association. I did years ago and it was the best source for info anyone could hope for. If you pay your dues ($20.00) early (January) you automatically get in the mail a large sampling of donated seeds from all the growers who belong to this group. In this group are the growers of all growers of the largest pumpkins. Some of the seeds I received last year were from fruit that weighed in at better than 1500#'s. I think I got about 10 seeds packets in all. I would query the groups web site and go from the there. If you buy seeds from a private supllier, such as the one in Nova Scotia, Dill's Atlantic Giant Pumpkin Seeds, you will pay anywhere from $5.00 a seed up to $70.00 or $80.00 a seed, so joining my group is well worth it. Thier prices are fair for what they sell, and that is the best seeds anywhere, from the largest pumpkins grown in the world, year after year. Woody Lancaster is the treasurer and the membership chair of the NEGPGA. Query the web site and start in. I might have a few seeds around I could part with. Does anyone here have any idea how to polinate your own seeds? I can't say enough about the Danny Dill family though.

Hey Frank I should have introduced you to the guy that grew the giant on C C. You could have compared notes. I just never thought of it. I can be pretty dense sometimes. His dad was the guy that had the tinker toy spinner and plugs,"Happy as a clam with a rod in my hand" guy.

Yep, gotta get yer gardens ready for DOOMSDAY
