    Fuzzy caterpillar reaction?
    Apply Common lawn Plantain leaf as is (you can chew it too, but that's a little icky) and it may help.
    Works on stinging nettle, bug bites...and more (!)
    Might work for the catepillars too...
    I'm not spelling that well tonight...or correctly

    Do you know where sun flower Steve is located in Wisconsin? I would love to do a drive by when we visit friends in September. I love to see fields of sunflowers in bloom. I didn’t get any planted this year but I’m making plans for an area in my small garden to show case them next spring. 🌸💚🙃

    I think I'm 12 in the brain too. I noticed the butt right away. My tomato crop was decimated by blight but I got 6 pints of spaghetti sauce. I love Sunflower Steve's flowers! I got in on the sale early but won't plant till spring. I love harvesting and your patch is fabulous!

    For Heaven's sake, lady, how do you manage to get everywhere, how many Nicoles are there?😂 My favourite summer meal is fried peppers and egg plants, layered lasagna style: peppers, some marinara sauce, chopped garlic and parsley, than egg plant the same way and so on... With a slice of feta or similar cheese.. a perfect meal! The best thing is it can be frozen in small boxes so you can have it in the winter as well!

    Literally no one actually let's their tomatoes get ripe on the plant (when they are the best) and it makes me sad.

    Beautiful veg and sunflowers. My no dig guru Charles Dowding also mentioned Joe Gardener, said picking them green lets the plant put more energy into the plant instead of ripening tomatoes. I see veg for sale at Flower Hill Nursery.

    Plant tags seem to be like socks in the washing machine for me - I know I had them at the beginning of the process but when I need them I cannot find them for love nor money! Most of my cucumbers seem to be ‘green’ or ‘yellow’ even though I know that as seeds they had more character…

    S.F.S's merch. Sorry to critique it, but the image is not easily seen on top of that lovely butter creamy yellow. Maybe the color on my phone is distorting it, or Nichol's camera, NAH! Probably not Nichol's camera, I think she has pro equipment. Factor, sunlight in too. Not sure if it's bright out or overcast. Anyway, I cannot see the sunflower in the center, literally, I am assuming there is one there, it's empty space. I cannot trust my phone right now, hope it's just my low rent equipment. Edit- I forgot to say, love S.F.S's sunflowers, absolutely.
    I have started harvesting my tomatoes not completely ripe, I have so many cherry. Even some that are just beginning to show some color.

    Hello Miss Nicole !
    I’m sure you get all sorts of recommendations for different varieties of flowers and vegetables…
    so here’s one more 😆
    Like you I enjoy bell peppers and over the years I’ve tried at least 25 different varieties. I garden in WI zone 4b and two peppers which produce huge thick walled peppers are “Revolution” and “King Arthur”. They ripen from green to red and are great for making stuffed peppers. You can get them from Johnny’s and Seedway.
    Good Luck with your new project !

    Oh man!!! What a great harvest!!!! I lost ALL my Sunflower Steve sunflowers (100 of them) to a groundhog family. I was pretty crushed. They also dined on my zinnias and 450 dahlia plants. But I was most sad about my Sunflower Steve Sunflowers. Every last one of them was destroyed. Yours are so cool!!! How fun!!!! Also, Im a bit jealous your peppers are ready for picking. Mine are all SOOOO SLOW this season. How awesome that you can sell your extra produce at your new nursery and the market!!!
