Thanks for the info velvet..aaugh! I didn't know that happened..OMG! LOL! Oh well, thanks for letting me know that one. Luckily I don't have any bad pictures on there, lol! Well, Chippy doesn't have any overt symptoms, what I am worried about is that he could be a carrier for some disease. I am basing this on the fact that the other birds that I had had (and died) had some sort of disease or diseases a few years ago. I just worry that he may be a carrier for something unseen. Years ago, when my new flock had mixed with my other flock of birds, I noticed that later on I saw symptoms of neck twisting in my new flock (that had been bought at a hatchery and were disease free). Also I had some hens that started laying eggs with weird shapes, ridges in them, stuff like that. Also a few eggs were laid with no shell on them. This is why I'm in a bind, as I don't know what those diseases could be. Chippy has never exhibited them, and as far as egg laying goes, he never laid an egg, lol!

I planted late, maybe September. Wanted it to get some size before I put it in the jungle that my garden too often becomes. It bloomed the second year. I'm not sure if that's normal or not. The package is long gone, and the seeds I planted this year are from my own plant and might not even come true since I'm not sure if pow wow is a hybrid. (I'm thinking it might be.) Some perennials bloom first year, gaillardia does, right? But most perennials take a full year. I think this winter was a disaster for my garden. No sign of my lupine, which would have been going into its third year, and my baby hollyhocks, which were there in the fall, have not re-emerged. Could all the snow have rotted them?

The plants look pretty darned nice to me! I don't know that it is optimal, but, that wrinkling / puckering on the leaves is very common on the chinese varieties. re: bonemeal - I have heard many recommendations to use it, and just as many saying it takes so long to break down / be available to the plant that you are wasting your time and any anecdotal evidence is more likely attributed to time for it to grow out of it or some other environmental factor and not really the bonemeal. Jiffy pods - are you talking about the peat pellets and their netting? I would and always do remove that netting. But, if they're already growing into their new home, it might not be worth the potential damage digging it up to remove it. Same thing with the peat pots that you can just bury - I always remove that thing. Probably personal preference more than anything, but, I have seen where they had problems growing through either, so, I just get them out of the way.

Patricia43... "I think there's a real need for someone who can marry an architect's vision for asthetics with a builder's ability to do things affordably" It's called an interior designer with a degree, not the ones who claim to be interior designers who are decorators with a continuing education or trade school, or OJT on where to place a vase. do you really think so? in my experience an interior designer doesn't know much about construction or building economically? i think the other piece missing is incorporating green building - to the extent that you can save money beyond your initial cost outlay especially - and someone who can answer the question as to whether it makes more economic sense to move or add on. Have you ever actually met an interior designer or just someone who told you they were an interior designer? They are required to have many hours in the building construction sciences and budgeting. I don't know where these interior designers you met with 5-year college degrees were that knew nothing, but that is what their business is. I think like most people, you are thinking about an interior decorator, total different kettle of fish.

Everything is from seed. About 50 variety of peppers. 300 plants. Then onion and sunflower. Squash, zucchini, cantaloupe, watermelon, corn ,cucumber, okra , beans, sweet potato, and tomato. Hopefully I'll be off work Saturday and can actually finish everything.

Yes I probably will be selling. That's going to be a lot of vegetables lol.

A lot of work and love.
Next year you'll probably reconfigure to give yourself more room to work, walk between the rows. Tomatoes get big and pretty wide and peppers get wide and the branches break off rather easily.
Air circulation between plants is also a consideration.

Are all your tomatoes of the determinate varieties?

Some of each. They are now all caged up. I can easily reach them all. They have more room than the pic shows plus I'm 6ft4in so I have a lot of reach lol.
