How is your garden growing?

July 10, 2011

So by reading everyone's posts, there are many backyard garden growers.

In my garden this year the 'maters are awesome. (Better boys, romas, and another smaller slicing 'mater I can't remember the name of).

The peppers are also strong and vibrant (Hot banana, poblano, and one called Gypsy that is like a smaller green bell but soft yellow in color).

My straight-necked yellow squash started out great guns, but an infestation of squash beetles has caused them all to wilt and die. I have used sevin dust, and the beetles have died, but I did not treat in a timely manner, so they have bit the dust.

My eggplant has been munched on by something, my guess is a small grasshopper. I have used sevin dust on them, but they are just showing a "failure to thrive".

My garden is not so big this year, and I have fewer varieties of veggies. But we have been able to consume everything or trade with other gardeners, so there is no waste.

So, how are y'alls garden growing..... Quest .......

    Rep. Regina Quick pulls no punches on Chamber scorecard

    Rep. Regina Quick, R-Athens, was one of two local delegates to score less than an "A+" in the Chamber of Commerce's annual legislative score card. She and I played phone tag Monday when I was reporting the story and I wasn't able to get her comments in a timely fashion. Instead, she sent over this statement Wednesday morning and she did not mince her words. (Links and italicized portions are my own; otherwise, it's as she wrote it.) Dear Friends: read more

    UPDATED: Draft language of so-called curfew ordinance

    The committee opted Tuesday night to put off deciding on the ordinance until, at the earliest, its next meeting. Of note: The Athens-Clarke County attorney highlighted that the proposed times are, in essence, placeholders for the commission to change or keep as it pleases.   Full text of the Use of Public Right-of-Ways ordinance draft is below. read more
