I liked the link. Some of the pictures were pretty interesting. I like the one of steaming tobacco beds and the big steam tractor. All that iron it it was probably around 10hp. Larry |

![]() ![]() 2 weeks after the storm which did some real damage to my newly transplanted tomato plants (i would have pulled them but didnt get around to it due to other clean up) they have all recovered and are growing like weeds. I relly cant believe it. My neighbor had transplanted three teenagers and he thought they were dead after the storm (I did too they looked so bad) but he just cut off all the bad parts and his are recovering too. Yay! The picture doesnt do this tomato plant justice because it is wet from dew but doing really well. Here's my Shi-shi-to after the storm. Almost every leaf was gone so I cut it back. ![]() Here it is this morning. ![]() Barb is it too late to start cucumber plants? Ginny Last edited by Fiishergurl; October 21, 2016 at 05:55 AM. |

That Shi-shi-to is Amazing! I probably need to grow it. Aren't tomato and pepper plants amazing, if no actual disease, they are very resilient and forgiving.

I am curious, why do you plant first, then cut a hole for your cover to go on after? I always put the cover on first, then plant, I think it is much easier, not that much chance to injure leaves, because you only have to deal with the stem base that way. I can dig to the bottom and see easily right through my smaller cuts into the hole to see just where to place them. I don't have to tape back the cover. The video is by gardendoc , his video link is 3rd or 4th post, shows how he tucks in his cover. http://forum.earthbox.com/index.php?topic=10156.0 |

Larry, liked your set up.
Barb, nice looking plants. Ginny, glad your plants recovering. Marsha, thank you for ideas. It looks that the season is going well no matter what.

Ginny - I don't think it's too late for cucumber plants. Most give cukes in <50 days. I'm going to start another plant today. I haven't seen the pickle worm moth either so good timing. Went back to using the root pouch.
Marsha - Thanks for the link. I thought some of the prep work on the EB re-use was overkill. IE: The torch to get circles plus building that frame to keep the mix in. He didn't add much new mix, he added 2 cups of Dolomite - with that little mix I wouldn't add any dolomite. The covers were a really good idea. Did you notice how big his 'loaf' was at the end of the season. Larry - I started new broccoli seeds yesterday. My other ones are finally taken off a little. Not near ready to transplant though. I did transplant my non-head purple broccoli seedlings into an EarthBox. They don't make heads and don't need cold weather for florets. --- On Thursday I found my first non-cherry tomatoes set. They were on Champion 2 (Thanks for the seeds Ginny) and Orange Slice F2 (alternative to Kelloggs Breakfast grown by a TV member). He grew out the F2s already and the comparison to Kelloggs is uncanny. With this weekend weather, hopefully many more tomatoes will be set. |
