Anybody care to share tomato counts on their plants?
Comments (17)As I have finally pulled the last tomato of the season, here is my count, sorted by size: CHERRY Sun Gold - 197* Sun Sugar - 567 Black Cherry - 108** SMALL TOMATOES Green Zebra - 24* Bloody Butcher - 96 Black Prince - 133 Taxi - 53 MEDIUM Big Beef - 23* Rugters - 22* Rutgers (Det) - 41 Rutgers (Ind) - 43 Black Krim - 19* Jet Star - 15** Lemon Boy - 44 LARGE/JUMBO Black Sea Man - 29 Kelloggs Breakfast - 37 Cherokee Purple - 40 Brandywine Suduth - 38 Brandy Boy - 52 Pineapple - 35 * These were all container grown plants whereas the rest were grown in ground. While not always comparable because the varieties are different, it is interesting to note that the production of container grown was a fraction of those grown in ground. ** These were mid-season replacements which I grew when the determinates (black sea man & taxi) quit producing. Had I put them in the ground earlier, I suspect they would have done just as well as most of the other varieties. However, they didnt get into the ground until it was hot (affecting fruit set), and didnt have a full season before cold weather set in. Overall, I was very happy with production. Also, the numbers above are only for tomatoes that ripened and were edible. I picked a few dozen green for fried green tomatoes, and I probably lost about 10-15% of my crop to weather (splitting after heavy rain), neglect (rotting on the vine), or squirrels....See MoreNew deck care
Comments (2)The pressure treated wood is usually installed wet with chemicals. Especially, if the supplier moves a lot of inventory. If you purchase it already dried out, most of the wood will have already bow or curved. You need to fasten it before it dries out. And then let it dry out. I've painted PT before it was finished drying, and the moisture bleed through and had to be repainted. So, yes, you need to wait a few weeks if you are getting some good sun, winter times would be longer. As for stains, I usually go with Behr's or Cabot's....See MoreTall stories ... Southern variety
Comments (5)Another story: To be told at night at camp. I was walking along a path that was leading me up the side of a mountain. As the path steepened and I was moving out of an easy grade to a more steeper one, I heard a rustle in the bushes. I turned to look, but saw nothing. The trail now became a ledge on the side of the mountain and again, I heard the same noise and this time when I spun around, I did detect some movement of leaves on the brush alongside the path. I became concerned, but not fearful yet since no threat was detected. I did, however, began to look for possible cover places to defend myself. Unfortunately, these places were diappearing as the path rose ever higher on the side of the mountain. I realized that, at this point, I could not reverse course without confronting whatever was behind me, be it a prankster or beast. My hope was to continue and maybe the path would top out into a better landscape, but such was not the case. The path narrowed and soon it was not more than a few feet wide with a drop off of a 1000 ft or more down the side of the mountain. I was trapped! Vegtation on the drop off edge had thinned to nothingness, not even a strong sprout to grab, nothing but some grasses. And now, my pursurer came into view. It was huge grizzly bear ambling up the path behind me. Now, I was scared. The perceived threat was real; My hide tingled; My mind raced - what to do. I hurried up the path and the bear began to close the distance between us. My heart pounded. At last, the path dwindled to a mere 2 ft wide with no more in sight. The bear was upon me. [At this point, the storyteller stops and waits. If no one takes the bait and asks, "What happened?", you have a plant in the audience who does. When asked, "What happened?", you reply, He ate me!" An alternate ending is, "I woke up!"]...See MoreLooking for a Fitbit Type of Thing, For Dummies
Comments (4)A better quality pedometer is in order. I have an Omron Walking style (Amazon Link) but it is on the higher price scale. It does not register false steps (I'm a leg bouncer), records aerobic steps separately and keeps 7 days history. It does calorie counts but it's not like a fitbit. You can check out other Omron offerings to see if there is something more budget friendly....See Morellitm
