we’ve got 2 and we are ankle deep in them.
Yeah I'm regretting planting 4. :lol:
I've been giving a good bit away. The only thing I really do with them is blister them. Delicious, but it gets old after a while.

How many plants do you have?
Let's see if I can remember everything. :lol:
4 Cherry Tomato
4 Celebrity Tomato
4 Early Girl Tomato
4 Better Boy Tomato
4 Beefsteak Tomato
4 Classic Eggplant
4 Jalapeno
4 Cayenne
4 Shishito
2 Bonnie Bell Pepper
2 Emerald Giant Bell Pepper
3 vines of Mini Love Watermelon
3 Blueberry Bushes (Climax, Tifblue, and Premier)
4 PrimeArk Freedom Blackberry bushes
About a dozen Dasher II Cucumbers
About 2 dozen Mammoth Sunflower
And about 50 Festival Strawberry Plants that are doing extremely poor this year and I'm wondering if they'll even survive.
I think that about covers it. I also have a Meyer Lemon Tree and an Arctic Frost Satsuma. Both are still pretty small but the Lemon tree has produced a good bit the last couple of years.

Spent about 2 hours in the garden this morning picking. Looks like family, friends, neighbors, and coworkers will be getting some produce! :lol:
After I go through what I need for canning, of course.
The blackberries are slowing down. But the blueberries are just getting started!
Got a few watermelons getting started. Also noticed some bees jumping from flower to flower between the watermelon vines and the cucumbers.
Still no sunflowers blooming yet, but I have one about 10 feet tall that looks like it won’t be long! And my pet bunny has been living in the garden all year. At least I’m pretty sure it’s the same one. Noticed a few tomatoes with some chunks missing, but I have plenty to share as you can tell.

re: Starz cancels "Spartacus: House of Ashur" after one season for... demographic reasons?

House of Ashur features a diverse cast with storylines that feature prominently women and characters of underrepresented backgrounds.
In what world are gays and blacks underrepresented in media? It’s quite the opposite.
ETA: I actually just started watching this last week. I’m only 3 episodes in and it kind of sucks.

Well, I went through my browser history and found the article. It was from 2014. I imagine those numbers haven’t improved. :lol:
Half the country can’t run more than a quarter mile

I was actually reading something the other day that said if you can run a 10 minute mile that puts you in the 85th percentile of American adults. And only 20-25% of American adults can run a full mile without stopping.

re: Teen supplements & creatine use

I think he's still too young, but I don't know. It's hard to find information online about teen use of creatine other than don't do it.
That’s only because there are limited studies in teen usage. Which I’m sure they avoid for ethical reasons. But as others have said it is the most studied supplement on the planet and is extremely safe when used properly. I’d say just make sure he is taking the recommended dose and make sure he is getting plenty of water. Heck if you are still unsure start him off at 2 or 3 grams per day and work him up to 5 slowly.
My son is 12 and sees me taking creatine every day and has been asking when he can start taking it. He’s been working out with me for about 6 months now. I told him when he turns 13 (which is pretty soon) I’ll let him take 1g per day and work him up as he grows. 1g of creatine can be found in an 8 oz ribeye.
ETA: Shoot, this thread has convinced me. I’m going to start giving my son creatine now. Just ordered him his own tub of Creapure.

Happy to see everyone’s success so far! :cheers:
I feel like my cucumbers are behind where they normally would be this time of year. But I’m finally starting to get a few growing. Will be picking soon enough!
In the meantime, it’s a good thing we like tomatoes.

Sprayed my backyard with Celsius at the high rate over the weekend. Backyard is mostly bermuda but man is it a mess with weeds. The bermuda can handle it. TONS of VBW.
My front yard isn't as bad with VBW but it's mostly St. Aug and I spot sprayed with Weed Free Zone. Every time I've hit my St. Aug with Celsius it stunts the crap out of it. I won't use it at all in my front yard.
Celsius does a great job against VBW. Weed Free Zone also does a good job but definitely takes multiple applications.
