Take it as a compliment that you produce good tomatoes, I guess? :P

I’ve given the hell up on container tomatoes.  constant watering and fertilizing.  next year I’ll put two tomato plants in the tiny patch of soil which constitutes my “garden” and the peppers can go in the pots.  I’ve been drowning in cayennes and jalapenos.

Your right about the watering. I just dump the dirt and start over every year with new mix for fertilizer . I’m in a low area and don’t get much sun so I’ve gotten better results from the containers. Peppers were nuts this year.

Th is is why deer hunting is important, not just a sport for red-necks.

use Tomato Tone. It has the right balance of Ca, N, and K for them. Too much nitrogen and not enough calcium gives you blossom end rot. The peppers seem to like it too.

last year I bought started plants, this year I started my own.  I should have started the habaneros and ghosts in January instead of March.  I’ve just got a handful of habaneros, and I’m not confident any ghosts will ripen before it gets too cold.

Still haven’t tried starting our own yet. My wife loves going to Schwartz greenhouse in romulus every spring. It’s about at tradition level now.

Thx for the tip. Wife knew all about it.  On the list now.

Amen.

The turkeys have made a huge comeback too around here.

Fewer tomatoes, more venison?

With two caveats:

1. There are lots of places where it simply isn’t safe to hunt deer.

2. Killing trophy bucks is fai rly useless at containing deer populations. If you want to constrain the population you need to hunt does.
