This year we have lotsa strawberries. Every day I eat a good handful for over a week now. And discard a good handful for fugging slugs eating 'em too. And they eat the largest and ripened ones. Sucks balls. Now running out of strawberries
But now the raspberry also started to get nice red color, so gonna have the freshest fruit for another week or so.

No.2484
>>2482>they cooked for good and how do you know when to give up?Not for good, they are just hurting. If I was growing for a farm/commercially, I’d yoink them up now. IMO it’s time to give up when ever you think it’s time to give up
not worth the effort, or resources I like to see those long shots pay out so I do my best to keep everything alive as possible.
>basilIs temperamental for a herb. It does like sun, dat heat plus sun will fuck it up p gud.
>peppersIn my experience the sun/heat won’t do much to hurt them unless you aren’t watering them once a day
in excessive aka 100+ degree temps you’re better off not watering them everyday unless you’re hitting 100+ degrees
No.2506
>>2405We use beer trap and egg shells to protect tomatoes.
Salt might not be a good idea for the soil.
I heard ashes are good. Problem is can't really produce enough ash just by doing some outside cooking, and burning garden waste is prohibited.

No.2511
>>2506>ash from outside cookingIf you’re cooking with charcoal briquettes I wouldn’t use the ash because of contaminates in the briquette. Also unless you’re lighting it with just paper it’s not a good idea to use the ashes because of residual matter left from starting fluid.
also yolo so w/e>>2507>how’s crops?Not going bad, getting some burned leaves on the tomatoes. Still producing nicely. Only just hitting the hunnids in the past couple weeks. Compared to last year it’s been a walk in the park keeping stuff alive.

>>2509CO2 emission and carbon footprint doncha know???
Because state wants it. Have to be bagged and/or put it into bins, then the garbage company takes it away. It is used in composting yards and biomass power plants (so they burn it instead).

No.2562
>>2561A buddy of mine that used to run a farm said what worked best for him was 1 tablespoon of baking soda per gallon of water and use that once a week. Should clear it up and not hurt the plants. Sulfur or neem oil can be helpful too.

Pruned my tomatoes, half of them were straight up dead leaves/stalks. Dunno wtf happened this year. A lot of budys at the farmers market had been saying they had to use more fertilizers than usual, water more, etc. relatively calm summer considering the location. Had a wonky temp swing one week I was out of town working. Dropped to the 70s, then back up into the hunnids, grasshoppers were out of fucking control this year too. Anyways:

Sowed radish, carrot, kale, chard, spinach, thyme, red onion, dill, and parsley for the fall/winter garden today. Fertilized too.
Peppers have been doing pretty well, my hybrid brandywines did great until it got hot. Jury is still out on the San Marzanos. Will keep updating/lurking.
No.2686
>>2673damn them tomahtoes are hortin, weird
prob a dumb question but did you use the seeds from last year, and if you use this years seeds will it increase next years hardiness? not sure how long that stuff takes
>radish, carrot, kale, chard, spinach, thyme, red onion, dill, and parsleythats a sick fall line up
No.2695
>>2686>did you use seeds from last yearFor all the peppers, and the brandywine
left side looking at front of camper yes.
>increase next years heartinessYes, it will increase heartiness as well. By replanting seeds from previous years, you are bio-engineering at an incredible basic level. That’s why my spinach has started to do so well here. Normally spinach is the most temperamental green to grow, my seeds have a roughly 75% germination rate as of now. Actually noticed some sprouted already, they are second generation. My budy who used to run a farm is always impressed with that.
it was a tough start though, I went through two years, and about 5 full seed packs before I got anything to grow, let alone live long enough to seed No.2724
first brine attempt into ferment for two weeks
1.5 cup RO filtered water
1 Tbsp iodized salt (sea salt next time but curious)
20g tabasco pepps (scovilles on this batch kicks the shit out of my jalaps for some reason)

>>2724The seeds have to
mostly be heirloom, otherwise they tend to not germinate. Not really sure why, however, my serrano peppers
were store bought did germinate. tl;dr by and large the only seeds you will get to germinate are heirloom, organic doesnt mean shit as far as seeds are concerned.
Nice looking pickles/hot sauce let us know how it turns out!

turns out this brand of iodized salt is indeed iodized, zero fermentation
washed and rethrew with himalayan salt. no clue what i was thinking
