You've become a victim of PB greed Dom. They shut out your account. I'm learning Imgur. May not be able to transfer all my 4000 pictures, but......no way I'm paying $400 a year to those bandits.

I have a paid subscription until December I think. So I may have some time to transfer much of my library.

That's a decent price for a 4'x225' roll. I think the stuff I use is 3x150 for $20. Don't buy the staple. Get a small roll of 10gauge galvanized wire. Suspended ceiling tie wire works well too. All you need is a pair of side cutters and you're in the staple business.

This year I'm experimenting with weed barrier and compost mulch on one side and no barrier or mulch on the other side.the only thing I've noticed so far is that the cukes on the mulched side are growing much faster than the other side. But it could be because they're partially shaded by my asparagus forest.

How's the weed guard/mulch experiment coming along?

Do you use a mobile phone or tablet to interact with PB? I also have not had any issues, but I only use my mobile. *knocks on wood*

Nope.
I really cannot remember ever accessing my PB account from my iphone or tablet.

soesnt seem to be much difference at all other than the fabric covered side seems to retain moisture better. But then, it's in the shade of the asparagus forest so there's no conclusive evidence by comparison.

Everything is doing great. I'm harvesting cukes and some pickles. Tomatoes  and peppers are a couple weeks out and the beans are starting to produce. I'll be picking in a couple weeks.

The Japanese beetles seem to be slowing down, but the deer have discovered my Moon Flowers and Morning Glories. Picked up some repellent today to try.

My first moon flower bloomed last night some time. Just happened to notice it on my rounds this morning.


About 7" across. The same vine has other buds forming. If I can get a clear view of one I'll set up the GoPro and get a time lapse.

Looks great Bob.
Haven't seen my garden in 2 days...  Hope to be able to get out there today.. I'm sure it needs to be watered...

Was wondering that my self if I was getting to much water or I planted way to late.. it has been raining non stop day after day for weeks this is the first day with no rain in weeks sun out.. guess it to much water guess I will hold off on watering.. I know the great lake are up about 6 inches this year.. and are up about 3 foot from about 5 to ten years ago.. so I am guessing were getting to mch water... lol's
