Funeral will be Saturday morning. I had no idea but her Father was much older than her Mother - he lived and enjoyed life for 97 years! Sending our condolences for your friend and all her family and friends for the loss of her dad. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our tenant has agreed to meet the haulers and park the cars in the garage until we get there next week. IMG_4087.MOV 92.3 MB · 11 downloads I didn't see the video at first. When reading responses I was wondering why such questions. Just watched, cool video. It's exciting to see you and Nate are close to moving.

Rare Ozark_Kid Posted May 24, 2022 #58306 Share Posted May 24, 2022 (edited) We made it back to our house safely yesterday afternoon. Some small branches down but no damage. Checked the garden and was surprised how much it has grown. The Delicious tomatoes doubled in size but were blown over somewhat. To give an idea how much they grew and blew over notice the stick that was supporting the plant before I left. The plant was about twice the size of the stick and standing up. The peppers are looking great. The hardneck garlic is doing great. The first two rows of softneck not as good. Today I spent a few hours hooking tomatoes to the trellises and cleaning up. Small tomatoes are showing up. and harvested several scapes today Overall the garden is doing great! Edited May 24, 2022 by Ozark_Kid 15 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When is your usual first pick of tomatoes? Ours is usually around 4th of July. Did you have timers set up to water while you were away? We usually put a timer for our garden beds and my neighbor the "cat sitter" waters the flower pots and the herb garden on the other side of our shed.

Dani , I read on the book of faces that a cruiser’s itinerary was diverted from Jerusalem . That is a disappointing situation,. Now , they have two port days in Haifa. I had mentioned to you our stay in Haifa while dealing with the Technion University. While , it’s a great visit they must be upset about missing out on Jerusalem . You must be so excited. Are you really meeting up with the captain on Beyond ? You are par excellence an extraordinary planner and organizer . 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I have cherry tomatoes going they are ready to pick about the 3rd week of June. For some reason I have not had luck yet getting cherry tomatoes going. Not giving up. Larger tomatoes start the last of June, first of July. No timers. I rely totally on the core gardening and it hasn't failed yet. It would of helped if I hard someone pruning and hooking the plants to the trellises. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If everyone’s family was like the extended family we have here, the world would be a much better place! Had a great grandparents day at the grandkid’s school today. Breakfast with granddaughter and lunch with grandson. Now we are packing again, this time for California. Looking forward to seeing our other grandson tomorrow night. Son has a two week business trip to France, Germany, and Amsterdam, so we will take care of getting grandson to and from school for his last couple of weeks. I am sure Susan and I will get some walking in. Edited May 24, 2022 by h20skibum 15 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am doing core gardening for the first time but set up my timer to water for 15 minutes per day while we are down the shore. When I get home I will see how the core gardening does with water retention and decide whether to set the timer for when we come back down to the shore house for 2 weeks in June. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are 2 general types of garlic, hardneck and softneck. You can tell the difference when opening a bulb. The hardneck has a hard straw like stick in the middle of the cloves. When hardneck is in its last stage of maturity, a scape grows out of the middle of it. If left the tip developes a flower. If you pull the scapes early, before flowering, the energy will concentrate on enlarging the bulb instead of the flower. The scape can be used similar to green onions. Instead of a mild onion taste you have a mild garlic taste. This year I am going to try making some pesto with them using the scapes in place of basil. Look towards the middle of the pic and you can see the curly scape. 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
