I love my stirrup hoe. You should get you one.

{google picture. But it is like mine}

I've always known that as a hula-hoe. Great for weed abatement.

I'm getting ready to murder some chickens. I've had to plant new pumpkin seeds and replant tomato plants due to the little bitches tearing everything up. Their only saving grace is that they provide delicious, fresh eggs daily.

My hempy bucket tomatoes are doing well. Not a ton of growth yet, but they're healthy and no doubt getting established, so I should be seeing good growth soon. Wrapped the buckets in reflective insulation to mitigate light penetration and hopefully keep the heat down a bit.

I only wish I hadn't gotten such a late start on my garden. There's always next year.

Kentucky Wonder snap beans are starting to come in. trying to stagger them a little, so started a couple of plants 2 months ago, a couple a month a go, and a few last week. since it warmed up, the ones i started last week got eaten by slugs. got some more started inside, gonna let em get a little bigger before i put them out

Make a beer trap for slugs globetard lol. Fill a glass casserole dish with cheap beer and leave it out overnight and you will wipe out the whole colony. Your welcome.

Wow are you slowwwww! Lol!
Use a glass casserole dish with 2 inches of beer for maximum effectiveness. The slugs don't like crawling over sharp plastic. The smooth glass is comfortable to their skin and they slide right in. The more beer you have the stronger the scent. They can crawl in and out because you don't have enough beer in your shitty trap.

I couldn't get my gas tiller started this year, so I took to a place for a tune up.. two and a half weeks they tell me.. Uggg. Almost exactly two and a half weeks later I have a message on the answering machine that they got it all started, but the gear box is shot, and it's not worth fixing. Was so pissed I wasted the tike waiting on the tiller. Oh well, went out and bought an electric jobber. Worked decent enough.

My face was hurting all weekend from smiling. Got to love the occasional subtropical storm. All my old seeds that had been in the ground 2-3 weeks came up.
