gardening

This is odd leaf....

....growth on perfect bamboo sprouts!.....give 'em a couple of months and I'll bet the Prof. will have a bounty of homemade bongs for Odin to market at the next Phish concert. lol. Nice pics of an awesome garden!

 

You know of course that rabbits can dig?

Probably mold from too much moisture.

 

I put up a rabbit fence and threw down some moth balls and nothing has touched my garden. I've seen several rabbits eyeballin it though.

 

Have you ever tried the moth balls sans the fence?

Short story: In my and my dad's younger days we raised rabbits. Dad, being three sheets to the wind, using chicken fence, built a nice big pen so the rabbits could get more exercise. So we took the rabbits out of their small cages, put them in the pen. Next day there were rabbits everywhere but in the pen. He had forgotten to build a floor in it. Lord, did we have a laugh!

 

It's called corn smut. In its early stages it's considered a delicacy to some people. Some farmers actually infect the corn to make it grow. Dang.

 

LOL

 

no i haven't. The fence was put up first. You saying it's the mothballs keeping them away?

If the deer keep getting hit by cars, i'm not going to have to worry about them much.

 

Not really, I was just wondering if the moth balls alone would do the trick.

 

I believe you're correct. Smut and blue mold(?) are the most prevalent scourges for corn.

I've heard that edible/delicacy bit before. My granddad didn't like it, I remember his bitching about it when I was a kid.

 

just picked a 5 gallon bucket of blue lakes. Got a few zucchinni but mostly they are about done for. Yellow squash is coming out my ears now! I loVE yellow squash. my grandma made a squash casserole last night. Mmmm!

Still no ripened tomatoes but they're is a ton of greens!
