Welp, if I was really good at taking videos, I would have some great stuff from the Grandfather Mountain area. It was bad, but other places were worse. Only 1 road out this morning. I hope you are doing okay after this storm.

@@leisurelylogan we are. It actually turned more easterly than predicted. One tree down over the horse fence. 12+ inches of rain over 2-12 days.

@@LSatch I haven't watched a ton of onion videos, but I am guessing that's how seed onions are made. Yeah, southern weeds are the worst. I guess I need to put up a fence on the garden or the deer will ruin my pie. LOL. Thanks for watching Larry.

@@leisurelylogan maybe just some netting over that bed would work

For those who swing both ways. LOL They really needed to make one side a little different so it is more obvious.

@@LSatch the onions were a regular onion that you would buy in the store. It apparently turned itself into multiple seed onions. I probably should cut back my tomatoes and see if new ones will grow.

I would have to get my water faucet replaced first. It tends to leak under hose pressure. Joys of owning an old house.

Last year I had to chase it all the way through my yard and over the fence.

@@leisurelylogan she is hooked on your greens 😊

The worst part is, the mother was standing right where the deterrent is. So, I guess the sound doesn't bother them.

@@forestoz noted. Thanks for watching.

@@lapinlaitt thanks for the info

@@leisurelylogan ofc 🩷

It's the busy time of the year. It's weird. Everything is growing great, but not fruiting very well at all. I don't think the peas were hybrid, but we'll see. Looks like the alarm didn't keep the deer from eating at the roses again. I definitely need to get more to cover all entries. Have a good one, Larry!

It rolls up, so I guess you could go around the edge of the pot with it. I'm not sure if it would help a lot that way, just because he doesn't put off a lot of heat, just surface heat. It's not like a radiator. Also, even with it being water resistant and such, I'm not sure it would be a good idea to keep it in the dirt for a long period of time.

Welp... I guess I won't have much luck with the vine weed then. LOL! I forgot to mention that a couple of weeks back I used a little fish emulsion when watering. Maybe that helped the tomatoes this year. Thanks for watching, Larry.

I was more concerned about it living. This has been my 3rd attempt to grow rhubarb in this zone. It came back this season, so hopefully by next season I can harvest.

Yes. They were on my porch in another box that we had set outside trying while cleaning an area. The mother broke through the screen and had them in that box, so I moved them to an empty box and put them out of the porch so she could move them.

He don't care. Probably left them in the sun.

Yes, I found that out. I put them out where the mother could get to them, but I probably should have put them down in the shade. I didn't know how long it would take her to move them all.

They looked like little werewolves.

I know. He probably should have asked for help, but he's stubborn at times due to a family trait. Those bag handles weren't the best either. Thanks for watching.

Now, to see if they'll make it past the storms this week.

@@leisurelylogan I saw it was windy. Crazy windy here too. Lost a 75’ pine in the woods, no harm done, missed the fence by 1/2”

@@LSatch nothing fell down aty house or at the school while we were there, but other places had issues. Lucky fall for you.

There is always the big box stores, that's where I got my peppers last year. I did manage to find that there were a half dozen or more seed sprouts in the bags, so hopefully I will have some more pepper plants.

@@leisurelylogan good luck with the remainders. Yes, I'll be raking out 5 bucks a piece I guess if I want some peppers.

Thanks for watching. If you have trees near your greenhouse, buy some Flex Seal tape.

I probably won't know if it is working for another few months. Of course, if the pest comes from the backside, it probably won't work.

Thanks for watching!

@@leisurelylogan Thank you as well.

Thanks. I might have to try the paper towel method.

@@leisurelylogan I was thinking the same thing when I was planting them this afternoon

I hope not. I think it's a raccoon.

I didn't check the expiration date on those. I hope they last more than 6 months, like the granola nut bars.

Yes. The full blown step would be to have a freeze dryer and process your own meal, but that's a high cost barrier.

Fire Side Gloves by Snow Peak

Probably. But I am hoping for an early spring. And I hope the long roots will help.

@@leisurelylogan I would love an early spring. 29 degrees here tonight

Correct. The controller is basically just on and off, so the reading on one probe controls both.

@@leisurelylogan thank you Brother! We just ordered 4 and got a 4 way outlet splitter 😅

Thanks. I think they just arrived too late last year. We went into a dry period and that tower garden is hard to keep moist.

I have a green bean can that you can see the lining, which I did not use. This can has no lining and another leader did this with a pineapple can, which definitely didn't have a lining. I would suggest going the pineapple can route if you are worried. But, I would think that if the lining was there and was susceptible to melting at boiling temperatures, having it upside over the fire for some time would melt out anything on the inside. If I picked the can off of the ground, I would probably do that and also do a couple of boils first, before using the it for boiling more water.

I am wondering if I put it that way whether or not the handle would have stayed cool to the touch. With it the way I had it, there is no gap between the square bracket on the pot and the handle. The other way has a gap, because of the handle metal. I had a longer video of me trying it both ways, but I cut it because I didn't think people would want to see me fumbling around so much. LOL! Either way doesn't allow you to keep it attached and fold it sideways to put it in the bag. Thanks for watching and leaving a comment.

I had a piece of fat wood and some Jute rope in there. It did take a few more strikes than I showed.

@@leisurelylogan 😄😄 you’re to honest

Yes. Some sort of spongy dirt mis holds them in. Based on the last tomato plant, they must drop 4 seeds or more in a pod. Yes, it is a good family project. Easy maintenance.

Thank you 😊
