Not sure it would be good shooting tomato stealing squirrels now, that neighbor Karen... When I moved out here (west side) in 1990 it was a lot different. We built this house in 2000, but before they developed this neighborhood it was a wheat field. I brought my babies here to show them what a wheat field looked like. A friend of mine used to hunt quail along the fence line at the back of my property, and we used to find shells back there until we cleaned it all up. 30 years is a long time, but it boggles my mind the development out here. Our old vet owned land a little west of the SW corner of I-435 and 87th Street in Lenexa. He told me where I could find the key to the gate so I could run my Brittany out there. Here it is now. I used to park on Renner and go in where the Lofts are: Deadstream 1 John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnsfolly Posted August 9, 2021 Share Posted August 9, 2021 Just got back from a trip to VA and Livie harvested her best cantaloupe to date. Sure beats the baseball sized ones from last year. We'll see what they taste like. ness and BilletHead 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fish24/7 Posted August 12, 2021 Share Posted August 12, 2021 Its been a very successful year for tomatoes. All the hard work and extra effort $$ has resulted in one of the best years I've had. Currently have 11 plants all Belgium pink. I did a rough estimate count this morning there are approx. 511 maters growing. The goal was to achieve an avg of 30-35 per plant,per harvest, but this year the avg is 45-46. So far I've picked about 400-425 there abouts this year. Like I said this second round of maters is even larger than the first. They should be ready by Mon./Wed. but if we get a rain forecast I'll pick them earlier because I don't want them to swell and split. The sweethearts are also peaking in their production. Will definitely be growing those again next year . Have 24 sugar baby watermelon that should be ready by the end of the month maybe sooner. Pics to follow.
