Guavas, Tomatoes, Japanese Cucumbers, Citrus (Ponkan Mandarins), Artichokes, Watermellon, Papaya, Figs and potatoes. I don't have the faintest idea where the potatoes came from. Someone must have dropped them some time or other. I never planted them. - Millet

Millet, some of the best food I've harvested was from plants I did not plant.. hmm.. Potatoes though?? Not like a BIRD planted it for you..

Enjoy!! Sounds like a yummy harvest!!


I might be in SE Co this weekend or the next.. I will go with my brother to pick up his son for school.. If he is going to go to school here again this year..

chives, carrots and so on mainly edible goods sadadstuff and lots of Green beans the old snapers . hard to find but a guy in Colorado has them i buy from there 12 inches plus and great flavor . i get them every 4 yrs from him since sometimes plants get too small so i need to restock with good seed.Tammy

OH and my favorite radish tree died this yr pouts was awesome try one you will never go with out radishes once you do they are self seeding just let 1 grow and grow Root will get about 3 ft long(the radish) the tree will get up to 4 ft . or mine did befor it died might get bigger and Believe it or not there very pretty flowers are pink and white 4 leafed

I cut the artichokes when they are about the size of a tennis ball. - Millet

I better go cut a few then. ill leave the bigger ones to flower.

I have a problem with snails and those grey bugs getting in them what do you use to keep them off your plants ..

for ants i use sugar yeast with little water .
mix sugar and yeast add enough water to get them to stick together and the ants do the rest put it in a small plastic bottle. they take it back to the ant hill and that rides the babies as well.

but i have a major problem with the grey bugs i made a trap for the snails it sometimes works i have beer and sald i use a bottom of a Plant pot and a smaller top place salt in the plant pot aound the smaller top of peanut butter jar then add beer to the top of the jar .
with in an hr i see tons of dead snails slugs but i cant use this too close to my plants . so a better method is what im looking for Tammy

Westwood, to tell you the truth, I have never seen any kind of bug, or insect on the artichokes. Because of Colorado' very cold winters, we really do not have much of a problem with bugs on anything. Scale, and mealy bugs is about it. - Millet
