Garden

I wonder if dog hair might work? They say it does for gophers.

Possibly. If the area smells like dog, they might be too scared to come closer.

Spread it around your property perimeters.

I heard, spreading dog feces (after you've cleaned the dog areas) around your perimeters will keep out Mountain Lions.

We’ve had a fairly dry winter, so it’s allowed me to get out and get our garden area tilled and ready for spring. I’ve expanded it some this year to increase the number of crops I plant. Plus I’m not going to plant corn this year. Beets, celery, cauliflower, carrots, radishes, rutabagas, potatoes, onions, peas and beans.

It’s been so nice that I was tempted to start planting some things now, but we’re are forecasted to have a week of cold weather and another period of frost.

I’m going to plant a variety of tomatoes too. I might even try parsnips.

Try putting sardines in water (not oil) in each hole. Natural fertilizer.

Well the risk of frost is pretty well over so I have begun planting and transplanting seedlings to the main garden. Hopefullyit will be a good year for the garden.

I originally planted back in late April. It remained cooler than normal and then we had several days of frost in May. Just about everything I planted floundered. I replanted in late June and out weather cooperated. Some of my stuff did well and I just replanted a few crops for a late fall harvest. But, overall it was a bad year because of our late arriving spring and summer. M

My beans and beets never did take off. I might plant some more beets this week.

I think this winter I’m going to go to a friends house and get a pickup truck load of composted horse manure and till it into my garden in an attempt to reconstitute my soil. Maybe my garden soil is just depleted.

I had a terrible season this year. My Collards and Swiss Chard were fine and I got a good return on those, but the peppers and tomatoes were a dud. It has been very dry here since around July 4th.

My wife also planted collards and Swiss chard. They did great. Still going strong. Peppers don’t de well here. I wish they did

My tomatoes started off slow, but now they are taking off. My wife just $#@!ed at me about the water bill. I shrugged her off. I can’t tolerate a burnt up yard.

We had a voluntary water restriction in place for the last 6-7 weeks. I still watered the garden but it just wasn't enough. The ground was baked. The water table must be very low right now.

We don’t have a water shortage. We have a billing problem because of the incompetence of local government several years ago when they built a sewage treatment facility which was all effed up and the taxpayers had to bail out the city on a massive class action lawsuit.

I have been gardening for about 12 years. This was ( because it's almost done) year I have ever had by far. 2019 was the best and it has fallen off since then, but nothing like this.
The garden is in shade much of the day and the tree creating that shade gets bushier every year. I may have it taken down this fall because the roots are also straying towards the leach field and growing above ground making a tripping hazard for the small grandkids and well their old grandparents
