Fortunately I used my post hole digger early this spring and dug 4ft deep holes to plant my plants into. It made the roots go deep easily and when I water every night each plant takes 4 gallon of water. I'll be digging holes every year from now on. [Reply]   [No Email]

My pepper plants looked like yours until the deer started feasting on them every night. I planted watermelons one year and when they were just about ready to pick the deer busted them open and helped theirself. Now i m having problems with birds pecking away at my ripe tomatoes. Most of my neighbors have fences around their gardens but i don t so i m an easy target. [Reply]  [No Email]

I pulled up all our tomatoes and squash yesterday. They were overgrown. Pulled up the cantaloupes, too. We had made a few big ones. Now all we have left are okra and peppers. Butch [Reply]  [No Email]
