If I want to talk about politics or guns or other non gardening related issues, I do those in forums where that is the norm. I do apologize. I shouldn't have let myself become provoked, again. That's OK, we all get provoked now and again and your post did provoke me so I guess we're even. But you might now be able to see why I was peeved and why I complained in the first place. All those subsequent .02c comments that only got that high because of hyperflation. So how did your garden get on this year? Any notable successes or failures? Anything that you'll do different next year? It was the usual up and down thing. Some things did well, some didn't and some should have been planted and weren't. I ask myself how it is possible to 'forget' to plant zucchini? But I guess that not having any zucchini makes a bit of a change from having to think of a thousand and one way to use them up. Some insect pests were highly evident and others weren't. I quite enjoy seeing the insects although I know that is still something that many people can't abide. I don't nuke them because I find that they can be very interesting to watch too. ATM we have butterflies everywhere and of many different sorts but especially the Wanderer which is called the Monarch in the US. The grasses especially seem to be of interest to the butterflies and the Wanderer is loving the heads on the paspalum. Next year, I plan to get on top of the weeds from day one (but then that is an old resolution and there is always some part of the garden where the weeds evade me). I plan to finish my fruit cage before the start of next season. I plant to add another chook house to the chook pen and I really must do more permanent arrangements for netting of fruit trees as I'm getting to old and tired for the broom method applying netting to be attractive. Got my first zuch into the ground today. I had just finished planting the pepper bed when I found my errant Corno di Toros (6). Now I either plant fewer japlapeños or wait for the inevitable demise of some of my other peppers (mostly Quadrato di Asti, which were trendy about 4 years ago). I've started to lose some plants in small 6 packs that are out side. They dry out so quickly. Rain coming in Tue. and part of Wed., after that we are into the high 80s and, for all intents and purposes, summer. Still lots of gardening work to do, and I drag my digging board with me everywhere.
