Glenda!!!    now that's funny!!!   

[roony]

Found a real nice garden center in KC. Will be putting in peppers and maters at the first opportunity.

[Dotch]

You always get nicer tomatoes and peppers than we do...

[glenn57]

This year in the garden we put down that heavy webbed plastic and burnt holes where we wanted to plant things.  I’m tired of weeding.  Seen it on YouTube so I hope it works.  The other half of the garden is potatoes which I just till around so I don’t have to weed.  Good luck gents and Glenda on your gardens this year.  Now off to like 50 (it seems) graduations this weekend.

gardens doing good

Looks great amigo.  Someday I'm hoping you'll show me how to grow those blue smoothies.

[glenn57]

[Gunner55]

[deadeye]

Looks great.  I always start off looking great but somehow the weeds seem to creep in when I'm not looking. 

[glenn57]

 :happy1:first picking of the year. And "ahem" unlike someone here whom we all know and love  it wasn't 6 months from planting to harvest.

  damn Mikey made me.

Those look great.

What variety are they?

[glenn57]

crimson tide I believe. Really the only ones I plant.

[Dotch]

I bet they're the HyVee variety sorta like the Morey's walleyes!  Be on my way to The Post Office at the crack of dawn...

[KEN W]

That's one I have never grown. I have found that the best for me have been the round white ones. Like Hailstone, White Globe, Snow Ball and a few others. They always seem to be mild. Others can get "hot." I also really like the fall grown Daikons. They always seem to be Huge and mild.

When I eat some of the hot ones, my wife complains because I am walking around the house burping radishes.

The wife and I took a trip around the neighborhood today and stopped at deadeye’s to BS for a bit and pick up some of those cannas.  I had to get the wife out of there though as he has it to nice.  I could see the ideas rolling through her mind.....rock walkway and a sprinkler system for the garden to name a few.  Then we tracked over to HD’s to shoot the breeze until about 3pm.  We were going to head to Costco but found out it was closed.  We did see an out of the way green house so the wife drug me up there.  She bought a few more tomato plants and a different variety of pickles.  Besides having to show my Dukes of Hazard driving skills to miss a deer and some winner trying to pass coming around a corner it was a great day.

[LPS]

Darn good day it sounds!

  hey DOTCH, buddy, pal  went out and picked the last of the asparagus today and got to thinking  is there any type of weed killer out there that will kill weeds that won't affect or kill the asparagus?? Something that won't cost me 3 of my grandkids???

[Dotch]

Like what weeds we talkin' about? 

[roony]

My mother always said you can safely harvest asparagus and rhubarb up until July 1.

[roony]

Pull the weeds ya lazy bum.

[glenn57]

Pull the weeds ya lazy bum.

hey I pull plenty of weeds!

[glenn57]

Like what weeds we talkin' about? 

hell.  I don't have a clue. Dandelions, some grassy looking stuff that pulls out easy, roony take note.    and some kind of weed that kinda forms a purplish flower to start with.

 Last year I went out about mud august and pulled 3 gator buckets full of weeds

[KEN W]

Grassy looking stuff sounds like either Quack Grass or Crab Grass. Quack grass can only be killed with Roundup or similar product, which kills everything including asparagus.

Basically you are looking at kneeling and pulling.
