You have an important decision to make , BilletHead I have pasture with lots of milkweeds, I need some more Thornless blackberries and some raspberries now to add to my fruit and berry patch. Do have a few decent looking blackberries on the few vines I have, if they get a rain or two they will be delicious.
BilletHead Posted July 6, 2018 Posted July 6, 2018 I know it is sure dry here in BilletHeadVille, Watering some plants by IV fluids, Works super good and no run off as slow as it goes. I know one thing if Lancer is having to carry water to his truck garden I bet he is skinny and down to fighting weight : ) Trying something else. Since the cucumbers are coming in pretty regularly we can only eat so many fresh and giving a few out too. Fired up the dehydrator and sliced some up and pitched them in there plain. They are actually pretty good little chips. Shrink to about nothing but I think worth the trouble. Then I looked up how to on the subject. A lot of info out there and seasonings for them too. Can dry and grind to a powder for adding to soups etc. This morning I sliced some on an angle so they would be bigger and slipped them into some cider vinegar. When done put into a colander to drain. Onto dehydrating trays then a light salt. Into the dehydrator. Every once an awhile I go by and pluck one out. All I can say is I hope there is one or two left when Mrs. BilletHead gets home , Tomatoes are coming in a bit better now. So lush besides tomatoes hiding while peering looking at them I found a worm that had bored in and out of one. Not your standard tomato worm. Not sure what he was but dead now. BLT's for dinner tonight!

Is he a microfisherman or a multispecies angler? Does he Go Native! or plant whatever he wants. So I have store bought raspberry canes growing next to the milkweeds at least that was until this year when the milkweed extended its domain! We have native bluebells and blue phlox next to daffodils because I like the contrast of colors. Best that I can recall tomatoes or cucumbers are not native to this area either ! BilletHead 1

I know but they are not invasive . One thing is for certain if you are careful in life you can straddle the barbed wire fence but one mistake and you could be hurting. Man I think I have another signature line !

You know what I hate? The tall fences where the bottom strand is so close to the ground my belly or back snags depending on how I slither underneath it. My favorite is the loose ones I can go through at the perfect height or the high bottom strand where I can roll under. Actually I like free range fences meaning none at all and that brings us back full circle to native plants, animals and FISH , BilletHead Johnsfolly 1 "We have met the enemy and it is us", Pogo If you compete with your fellow anglers, you become their competitor, If you help them you become their friend" Lefty Kreh " Never display your knowledge, you only share it" Lefty Kreh "Eat more bass and there will be more room for walleye to grow!"

BilletHead Posted July 19, 2018 Posted July 19, 2018 Dang, And there is two more counters full of tomatoes in the kitchen. Will be making a big batch of salsa this weekend. Some of it will be frozen. More being dehydrated at this moment. When they are done I will have dried 25 trays. Yanked out the cherry tomatoes. Leaves turning yellowish and tired of fighting them in the tomato jungle. Still getting cucumbers but they are slowing down. Next week before out vacation will yank them too. Peppers so, so depending on the variety. Jalapenos (two types) and bells great. Banana and cubanells not so good. Getting some end rot and going soft. Not sure what is going on but this is the first time that has ever happened in all the years we have grown them.
