Picked my first ripe tomato today, and trapped the woodchuck that has been eating my corn stalks.

Mutant carrots or vegetables in love? Lots of cukes and blueberries, a few zucchini...and another good crop of weeds.

Gardening is weird here in Florida. We grow tomato's and peppers while most of you are freezing and during the peak of the season for most it's too hot to grow much of anything here. I'm in my third year back here and still trying to get it straight.

baileysoriginal Was the tomato good? And what happened to the woodchuck? The tomato(Jet Stars) was as sweet as candy. Picked two more this morning. By tomorrow the San Marzano variety should be ready for picking. The wood chuck? Well, he wasn't that bright. When he saw me coming, he ran behind some cinder blocks, with no way out. I blocked the entrance, got a box trap, forced him in it and release him where he will be trouble free. I think I would have slit his throat if he ate my first tomato  Tony Bad, Where do you think little vegetables come from?

Anyone else have a bumper crop of weeds this year? More than I have ever seen!  Every time it rains, I love that it's watering my garden but any weeds seem to multiply like crazy!!

Tony & Agnes, No need to ever weed or water the garden again. After I put my plants in, I cover the garden up to about 3-4 inches from the plants with shredded paper from my office. Then I continue to add grass clippings to the garden all season. Next year, just till under what's left. If you don't have access to shredded paper, use newspaper(no shiny circulars) and cardboard(remove any tape).

We covered it with paper the first year here. Last year there was not too much of a problem. Next year we will go with the paper again!! Funny thing is that we have had some wonderful cukes(taking over the garden) already and see quite a few tomatoes, white eggplants and cubano peppers.
