Bagged a thousand apples
Comments (7)I bagged 600 apples this year. I would think 1000 to be pushing the limit. I found that some varieties had longer stems and were very easy to bag, while others were difficult and slow to do. Bagging cherries? That's interesting. I would be curious to hear how that works. I have some sweet cherries that have blossomed a bit, but never born fruit. This far north they are mostly experimental. If I ever get a small number of cherries, that might be worth a shot if it doesn't lead to brown rot, etc. You know, they make tiny ziplocks (about 2" x 2") for storing pills, etc. Don't know where one can buy them. For just a few cherries that would be easier than trying to net the tree. We gardeners can go to desperate measures at times, can't we? Northwoodswis...See MorePound Sweet Apple
Comments (2)I've only tasted fruit from one in a shady section of my nursery and it's good but not a stand-out except in its absence of acid. I've read that kids love them for this quality....See MoreAny time or money saving tips on growing thousands of tomato...
Comments (9)We are in similar marketing situations, Canuck... Nowdays I try to get a higher price by marketing individual tomatoes or smaller quantities for the farmers' market consumer. I don't have yield figures but my field grown marketable yields were definately more than ten lbs/plant. The problem was that those tomatoes had many blemishes and I sold many more bushel quanities for canning at discount prices. Toward the end of August my field crop was succcombing to disease and weather stresses so my harvest season was limited to a few months when everyone else had a glut of tomatoes. And I'll admit that I planted the shorter season determinate varieties almost exclusively and simply set a 30" cage over each plant and let them sprawl over the cages. With the greenhouse grown tomatoes I can extend harvest by 2-3 months on each end of the season and well over 90% of the crop is of high quality. That is in spite of over 90 heirloom varieties I grow that are more prone to blemishes under normal conditions. Because of the earlier harvest of greenhouse tomatoes I start my prices higher but lower my prices as the season progresses so we can't compare sales figures but on average you should be ok with your price if your crop is good. One thing I found is that the customers can tell the difference between a fresh picked, vine ripened tomato and they will let you know by return purchases so if you want to be known of as the "tomato guy" for your markets you need to earn that reputation....See MoreNeighbor pounds on ceiling at 3 am to try to wake me up
Comments (23)She/he/they is/are not the only one. They are American, period. They do it to AMERICANS because some of them have disdain for Americans. in increasingly larger groups… My Central American neighbors within the Washington DC border line area make noise every night and extend it throughout the day for 20 hours before they sleep for around 3 to 4 hour NAPS. (Washington, DC IS SUPPOSED TO BE A QUIET CONSERVATIVE AREA. The DMV…) Then they wake up and are back at the noise mashing alcohol bottles heavily in the trash on alternating days. Their dogs bark loudly during the day and their cats are extremely loud during the night. Batchata and mariachi and horrible hip hop are blasted as they gossip. And it is on a residential block. Not in an apartment complex. They are very loud, belligerent, smoke marijuana and are xenophobic against AMERICANS OF ALL COLORS. The Mexicans are not roudy and have good restaurants, from what I know. it is another group of obnoxious central american people causing problems and lowering the neighborhood quality. They also obsessively say they hate me all day long thousands of times daily. They bang loud objects on ceilings in New York. They do not refrain from being tacky and tasteless. They are not refined. These spoiled apples out of the bunch are ruining it for others and make their people look bad....See Moregrainlady_ks
