That is what they used to say about oysters. You can eat oysters any month tho and year round. I think it was a throwback to days when we had to ship them in ice on rail cars and the yanks would get them in pretty foul shape

Rabbits and limb rats get wovels in the summer. A nasty open sore with a worm inside.

They actually look like they are alien to this world. My son and I went squirl huntin two years ago. After we shot five and all five had wolves in them we gave up and just went home. If you dont get a cold enough winter they will take over both rabbits and squirls.

Is that big garlic or a toy beer can?

 

[Boboro]

Most of em ant that big but if you take care of them they can be. I forgot the name of them. Most of them dont get dug up and replanted so they dont do like they could. I have a lot of em. they mutiply like rabbits.

I have 15 plants this year, first year. A friend told me when to cut the tops/blossoms. How do you know when to pull them?

 

[Boboro]

Cuttin the top will make the bulb bigger. Dig them when the leaves compleaty die.

Great Bob, thanks. I now have all the info I need (and will probably forget). I do know where to look for it now. LOL

Each year the farther in to summer we get my cucumbers suffer from the heat or sun. This year a friend gave me two pieces of shade cloth to try out on my tobacco, and I thought the other day. Why not try a piece over my cucumbers? Well it's been there for a week, and I have new leaf growth started on my cukes, before the leaves die out of the middle and the sun blisters the vine. I think the cukes cant handle the direct sun without leaves in the middle to cover the vine.

Scarlet Runner Pole Beans

Scarlet Runners are a pole bean that produces very large, black and purple dry beans. The vines don't play well with many other veggies in the garden bed. And they want to climb 10' or more.

I've had trouble with germination after direct planting into the soil in past years. This year, I germinated the beans in moist paper towels, and then planted the successfully germinated beans into the dirt. (Nearly 40% did not germinate at all.)

This season, I planted Scarlet Runners in the ground at the corner of my front porch. Some nylon string (barely visible in the photo) was zig-zagged from the planting bed up to the base of the wrought iron support post. They were slow to get started, and tormented by earwigs and slugs. But once they got going, each vine adds about 4-6" at the tip per day.

Since their location is partially shaded, the leaves have become quite large (like shade-grown tobacco). I have no idea how well they will produce there, but it's starting to look nice. This is a July 4 picture.
