I have been trying to load a video of the blackberry patch for 2 nights now, and it keeps coming up with an error.....Dangit! I'm gonna try a different one tonight, and see if it's corrupt or something.
I'd like to give a big ol' welcome to Shirley, momma_s, Shannon, and lilegyptiangoddess. Thanks for following the blog!
Now, for a few words about what is going on around here right now.......
Most of my evenings have been spent working on the weird refrigeration unit for a friend, and i'll have it finished sometime later in the week. After it's complete, i'll start on the shed! Woo Hoo! I need to build something, because I'm having withdrawal symptoms...Ha!
Ok....for the garden news - The mystery eggs on the apple tree leaf are still there, and I check their status every morning - and evening. I would crush them, but would hate for them to actually be a beneficial insect of some kind. That would suck, for sure!
Four more cabbage plants have been removed from the garden, and that still leaves 13 plants total. I just felt that they were at least a week behind the others...Oh well, that's still more than enough to make sauerkraut with. The tomatoes are still doing well, and have been enjoying the abundance of sunshine this week. Blooms are everywhere, but no tomatoes yet....The Cherokee Purple seedling that replaced the sick roma plant is still doing well, and has new growth. Man...I love rooting cuttings!
I've also rooted 4 suckers from the Opalka plants, and may switch them with the existing plants later. That would give me a fresh start, once the brutal heat of summer shows up late July. That's one good thing about my location - you can get in 2 different crops of most warm weather vegetables.
Well...that's about all that's going on....Now, to start loading another video!
Take care, and happy gardening!
EG

Making your own sauerkraut will be fun, have you tried it before?
Started taking cuttings of suckers yesterday from my beefsteaks. I'll do some more today. I saved all my two-liter bottles from the seedlings so I'll reuse them again to replace the determinate tomatoes with longer lasting ones after harvest. Don't you just love seeing those tiny new roots?
Dan - I have not, but heard that it is fantastic...
Tom - This rooting thing is quite addictive....I'll be giving alot of plants away next year!
Thanks for the welcomes, EG. I've enjoyed your plethora of info over at GW, and now that I'm blogging too, I'm really enjoying your plethora if info here!
I am whole heartedly jealous of your gardens! I have only enough room for a single raised bed plus a little room out front for herbs. Lucky man!
What about removing the eggs with masking tape and putting it in a jar of sorts until they hatch. That way you won't have to worry about missing them if they're evil-doers.
Sorry about your video woes. I can't even take them other than on my phone, then you wouldn't see anything, hehe. Good luck with uploading. Hope you get it fixed.
I really don't think those eggs will be good. What beneficial insects are there for apples? We both have our fair share of bad ones, hehe. I love Ribbit's idea, remove them, and put them back if they hatch good.
Man, your going to have a whole new crop from just suckers, how cool is that! Boy am I jealous of you and Judy with your multiple tomato crops. I'm lucky to get one in my 8b, hehe.
Note about the videos, have you tried uploading them to any hosting sites other then what you normally use?
l.e.g. - No, I haven't....that's a great idea. Thanks!
EG - you're a good man to be babying some bug eggs like you are! Although to quote someone I know and admire...
OH GOD! KILL IT!!!!!!!
LOL - I've always wanted to get you back and write that on YOUR comments for a change - LOLOL.
