Cucumbers smell and taste of chemicals...
Comments (20)"but when I saw no progress with Natria..." They make some of the most useless products, but consumers want them. A lot of them are nothing more than canola oil (literaly, like just canola oil and water). They market them as if they actually work well when the truth is that though many may help, it's overall effectiveness isn't...well, it's not very effective. I've seen a lot of people burning their plants up using Natria applications with oil in them at improper times as well as pest problems these formulations can't tame...mostly, I've seen people waste a lot of money on things they could mix into a spray bottle themselves....See MoreHelp! Poisonous weed in Veggie patch
Comments (26)I don't mean to be disagreeable, but I first learned about Jimsonweed through an article in the Reader's Digest, around 1980. A whole family had become violently ill after eating garden tomatoes for dinner. An investigation revealed that Jimsonweed growing in the garden had crossbred with the tomatoes. Their fruit was highly poisonous! I am here this evening because my husband asked me about a large weed that had sprung up on the edge of our tomato patch and, Googling it, I found it to be Jimsonweed! I will assume that, as it is the first specimen to grow in my garden, it has not had an opportunity to cross-pollinate or graft, but I will call the cooperative extension tomorrow, just to be on the safe side. Cowthree, I see that this post is at several years old. Did you ever have any further issues?...See MoreArmenian Cucumber at Summerwinds!
Comments (18)Sandhill Preservation sells seed of a selected variety of Armenian cucumber called "The Duke" (not available this year, though). There is a "Painted Serpent" cucumber which is also a melon. It has smoother skin than "Armenian" with dark and light green stripes. Not prolific in my garden. A little on the sweet side. Among "real" cucumbers, I have found "Summer Dance" to be the most heat-tolerant here, but I'm not sure they'd make it in Phoenix. Must be trellised or grown in part shade here. You can buy seed from Pinetree....See Morewanted: snake
Comments (6)Brenda - you may recall years ago I yammerd on and on about a massive triple trunk oak that needed to be cut down. Well it happened (last year) and the stump finally got ground. This is the site for my future garden pond. The only problem is the trees roots are still there! I am gonna be digging for an eternity and chainsawing those blasted roots. I know what you mean about small amounts of water. A friend gave me his old/neglected water lilies when he moved. Having no pond I bought some large tubs and filled them with water. The frogs have sure found them and make good use of them = lots of tadpoles. The yard does have a sizeable creek as its western boundary. I imagine the snakes stay down there. Hopefully when I get the pond finished they will wander between the two, passing through the vole filled garden on the way. jnhidden - just slap a mailing label on the snake and I'd double the postage just to be safe. In order to keep the snake calm before you drop it in the mail - place it in the veggie bin of your refrigerator to cool it down. Don't bother feeding or watering him before you send him, the post office will take care of all that. - thanks...See Moretlilbit
