That could be an animal. What I'd suggest is fencing it off then that'll give you the for sure answer. I had a horn worm issue 2 years ago and I swear those fucks ate all my leafs but you could easily see them on the plants. They are huge.

I really enjoy the clown responses on this thread.........NOT.

My my garden is coming along slowly, but surely. Been watering a little bit until we get a good rain which should be in a few days. Belly gave me a good tip last year and that was don't water too much. I read in a magazine that before you water your garden, take a trowel down and see if it's moist below the surface. If so, don't water that day.

Ytowngirl: your plants are great, you must be down south then with that productivity...right?

I'm in Columbus. I started my plants early but I also grow in containers and organically. I use organic fertilizers called Texas Tomato that works amazingly.

If you think this thread is bad don't open any other one then.

My flowers are doing fine. I admire those of you who grow vegetables. I'd rather just go to the store.

I am well aware of that, as I post and follow on Cavs, Indians and Browns threads.

I was just hoping that this thread would be for serious gardeners and not be of any interest to trolls.

Yet, they come and I should have known.

Maybe we are using the same supplier. This year I have seven different kinds. Like you I started most of mine mid-march and they are doing great.

Ohio Heirloom Seeds is where I get mine. I'm doing my typical beefsteak with Russian Queen and Mischka.

Belly: I'm not sure if you are joking or not, but that was hilarious!!! I meant it won't be long before the carrots are ready for harvest.

Mine are from a guy in Columbus. I have been buying from him for the past 3 or so years when I was able to garden in San Diego.

Ytown, if you have anymore trouble with those huge green worms, check out thuricide bt (sp?) It is a safe thing to use to get rid of them.

Did some much needed weeding today so my plants don't get choked.

Lettuce, cilantro, spinach doing well. Peppers not as good as last year and tomatoes are slow.

Garden is doing great. Tons of peppers coming on and the tomatoes are looking awesome. Unfortunately the weeds have gone crazy the last few days and all this rain today will not help. Hoping to be able to get out in the garden in the morning. Sure am glad I used newspaper this year makes the weeding a whole lot easier. I put newspaper around all my plants so the weeds are pretty much kept to the center of the rows. First time trying this but it seems to be working well.

I dug some horseradish up as well the other day. I have a patch that has overtaken an area in our yard. It started out as just three plants now its about ten foot long and two foot wide. I am considering selling it at the farm market as well just sucks to dig it up.

We have had 8 or so inches of rain this week and many people's gardens are fubar.

Luckily mine is fine, just quite a few weeds right now.
