[QUOTE="Davy Crockett, post: 157980, member: 367"] It was a different year for gardening up here for sure, Not all bad but I learned a lot. Usually have to start looking through the corn and pluck a few ripe cobs and then have a 2 or 3 week window before it starts to deteriorate but this year it all ripened at the same time so we only had a few days in it's prime. Freezers are full so have to get it to the kids before deer season. Tomatoes are just starting to ripen and most of them on wheels so I can bring them in when it freezes. Dug two potato hills, One about a month ago and one a couple days ago one white and one red . Both had 5 medium sized potatoes but they are nice looking and without scab, Id rather have 5 good spuds than 8 or 10 scabby ones. Out of 3 pumpkin plants I only have one decent sized pumpkin but I'll cover them and see if there are any survivors. The bonus crop this year for me was watermelons . First time in my life that they have matured and I don't know what went right other than the heat and the wind whipped them hard and I almost gave them up for dead at one point. I'll have to read up and see if I should cover them before the frost or pick them. Just when I was going to quit gardening and start buying store bought I decided that probably isn't a wise decision so I decided to go ahead with my long lost idea of adding a lean to greenhouse one the south end of our house for aquaculture, energy savings and year around fresh produce. I'll post pics as the project comes together. [/QUOTE]
