    Garden!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    One of these days I am going to do the same. I'm thinking a chicken wire lid would be the ticket. That would also help hold the straw over the winter.

    Garden!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Tomatoes may bounce back depending on the damage. Peppers too but sometimes it's just easier to replant. It sucks but not too late to replant. My garden is begging for rain. The grass is going dormant.

    Rain Totals?

    The wind took out way more moisture than we got. .13 maybe.

    Our Neighbors to the East

    I read that in some parts of Minneapolis barricades were set up and people were carrying baseball bats. In preparation for the riot gang.

    Our Neighbors to the East

    I can’t read this entire thread because I’m already so ticked off. The libs in Minnesota are getting paid back for their stupidity.

    Garden!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Watering on a regular basis goes a long way to avoid blossom end rot. I don’t add anything special to the soil but try to water on a schedule. Rarely see blossom end rot.

    Sweet potatoes

    I had really good luck with them once. Not consistently though. Sam's club is where I get them now. They like warm soil so a raised bed of sorts is a good idea.

    Potatoes - Hill or no?

    I plant them in a row. Deep. Some years are better than others. Probably because I don't water them enough.

    Siding & Window recommendations

    Installation of smart siding is the secret to success. I'm guessing lots of it installed incorrectly by flaky companies. It's one of those projects where you need to read the instructions and follow them.

    Garden!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    I also put mine out and let them get used to real weather. I’m now focusing on beans, corn, spinach, carrots and swiss chard. Tomatoes and peppers can wait till later. If we don’t get some rain soon it’s going to be a dust bowl. At least west of Bismarck.

    Garden!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    I make my own heavy duty stakes using chain link fencing bars from Menards. They last forever and are easy to make. Cut and bend in a vise.

    Garden!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    My dad grew peanuts when I was a kid. No idea how they turned out. I’m pretty sure that sandy loam is the ticket for melons. I have not much luck with the heavy clay soil. Not with water melons anyway. They need lots of water.

    Tomatoes should stay inside until after the 20th. I hate covering tomatoes in the spring. - - - Updated - - - North Dakota weather is a crap shoot for gardeners.

    Garden!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    At 24 degrees this morning some of the asparagus froze. I picked the good stuff and covered it with leaves. Also covered the onions. I have had them freeze before. I have heard that they will be fine without covering if they have been in the ground at least a week and showing some growth.

    Long Sleeve Fishing Shirts

    Those long sleeve fishing shirts also work very well in the yard and garden. I have Simms, Huk, Scheels and one of those cheap Sam's Club shirts.

    "Hiker" style hunting boot recommendation?

    I have a pair of Keen hikers that I bought last year at Scheels. I really like them. No idea how durable but the Keen low shoes are great. Bm I also have a short Vasque Breeze pair for working around the yard. They are comfortable and cooler. My keens have insulation which is too warm for...

    Romas have less juice and seeds. They cook down quicker so that the salsa is thicker.
