  • Great update Marvin...sorry about the pumpkins :(...keep up the good work~

  • @flyguy1725 Yes, and my third vine is now gone as well... very disappointing. Luckily, lots of other stuff going on.

  • Those ground cherries sure look like gooseberries. Do you know if they're related?

  • @tvtoms Good question. I don't know anything about gooseberries. These little ground cherries are kinda fun. I'll have to look up gooseberries and see.

  • I am so jealous! Here in the PNW I saw on local news...we have had a total of 78 minutes of summer ( heat that is at least 80 degrees) YUK...... sorry to hear about Molly...

  • @Rezist01 yeah, that's rough. Our spring was kinda slow to get going, but now we're seeing record breaking heat. Everyone is complaining about it, but I don't mind it at all (as long as the A/C holds out!)

  • @trentontrading ...oh, and where to get it? Some lawn and garden supply stores carry bales of hay. I used to get them at Agway, if you have any of those around. Sometimes you see them for sale roadside, if you live in a rural area. If you can find it, just get a few bales and try it.

  • @trentontrading Hay mulch is easy! You just bust up a bale and spread it around your plants/rows. The thicker the better, but it doesn't take a whole lot to be effective weed control and help with water retention. For really heavy weed control, I put down a layer of newspapers first. Hay mulch is great for widely space rows/plants like corn, tomatoes, peppers, eggplant, etc., but tougher for tight rows like carrots, beets, onions, etc. Ruth Stout wrote a book on it, if it is still around.

  • @scottmanb2005 Borers! Don't ya hate 'em!?! I didn't see any evidence of that. I think I got bacterium or fusarium wilt.  Something like that. Really discouraging. Sorry about your summer sq. I'm doing ok in that department so far.

  • @HoschtonBoy Thanks, at over 27 minutes, not your typical YouTube Vid, but I like to show everything. Glad you enjoyed it.
