RETIRED Marlboro Outwit the West Funny Farm

228 92 October 16, 2010 at 01:35 PM
Hi all,

I started this thread for anyone who wants to come here for lite discussion, jokes, and just general discussion and fun.

Everyone is welcome!

I was thinking that maybe it would be helpful to keep the original thread to a bit more of a serious discussion of the clues and answers.

This would make the original thread more useful to those seeking serious information and clues without having to read through hundreds of extraneous messages.

So, I hope it catches on !

So pop a beer and pull up a chair and relax !

Once they're pollenated, you'll see little cukes right behind the flowers, then the flowers dry up and the cuke continues to grow
They are growing now like crazy. Is it ok if they are sitting on the dirt? 2 of them are on the bottom and are on the dirt. Should I lift them up on the trellis?

Thanks,, do my best to avoid cracksnod
What causes the cracks - I have a few. Meant to ask - the leaves on my cucumbers are getting holes in them and a lot are turning yellow. What does that mean?

Splitting or cracking can be quite common and is brought about by fluctuations in watering. This can be due to heavy watering after a long period of no water. It can also be caused by having a period of dry weather, then getting a heavy rain that suddenly over-waters the tomatoes. Splitting and cracking is most prevalent in the later stages of growth when it is beginning to ripen.

When it begins to ripen during a spell without water, the outer skin will thicken and toughen up. A sudden influx of water will cause the tomato to swell (or continue growing) on the inside. This inner swelling will then cause the thickened outer skin to rupture resulting in a split or crack. Although some minor cracking at the top of the tomato is generally harmless, large splits that expose the tomato flesh can invite disease and insect pests.

Cracks and splits can be more common when dry farming tomatoes. The sudden surge in water from a heavy storm after reduced watering can lead to more cracks and splits. This is why it is best to pick the tomatoes when they begin ripening and then allowed to finish ripening in the home.

Probably because they got no water while I was away.
but how about the holes in the cuke leaves and turning yellow? That worries me.

Not that my dog isn't trained or well behaved, but every once in a while he needs a "non-verbal" reminder. I bought a Pet Zoom sonic trainer. Hit the button once, along with a verbal, will put an end to that and the dog should listen to the verbal everytime after ! If not, it will only take a few more sonic "zaps" to teach him/her to listennod If not, a Shock Collar will do the trick,,,
and you could always use it on Sam tooLMAOLMAO
But the other 3 will hear it too and they are all so good.

go to dollar store or Big lots if you have one
even wal mart and get a bunch of dog toys for him

the more he has the less chance he will destroy your stuff

raw hide chews too to keep him busy
He has only 4 teeth. I have a pile of toys for the other dogs and he just wants to take them outside. The other 3 just look at him in amazement and I have to retrieve the toys immediately and bring them in. He is fast.
