Been a rough start. No beans came up, about 5 peas sprouted. Maybe half of my cucumbers, 2 zucchini’s out of 20 or so. Hopefully replants work better. 

i was a little afraid of that to after starting out with decent weather then turning cold, but overall seems like its doing fine now!!!!!!!1 hoping to get my grass clipping around the cukes and tomatoes soon after the rains!!!!!!!

Do you have alot of squirrels? I was having trouble getting same stuff to sprout til I saw the culprits in action taking the seeds. A few years back i tried to plant sweet corn in my garden and none came up. One day mowing lawn saw a bunch of corn growing under a pine tree about 30 feet from the garden. Try do dig up an ungerminated seed. If it aint in there it cant grow.

there are a few squirrels around, bunnies too but as soon as things start emerging from the ground i put up a 2 ft chicken wire fence around the garden. 

 

the skurrels seem more content with the sunflower seeds under the bird feeders!!!!

I do what I can to have as few of them around as I can. Thank goodness for .22 silents. Probably taken out 20 or so this winter. I’ll have to look to see if I can find the ungerminated seeds. Thanks for the tip. Couple pepper plants got hit from frost. Hoping they come back, just the tops are black.

Tomatoes are growing like weeds too bad so are the weeds!! Still no beans from second planting and they are there just not germinating and never had any issues in the past. Frustrating to say the least.

Been gone for a week fishing. Got home to a weed take over plus the deer topped the green beans. I planted more last night and gave everything a good drink hope that will with the weeds today. Did have strawberries when we got home and radishes probably find more after I do some weeding.

I had to start fornicating with my zucchinis in the mornings cause there aint a bee around. Apples are falling of the tree guessing they didnt get pollinated either. In town garden i can water looks pretty good but my country stuff lookin pretty rough. Purslane sure seems to love this dry weather.

Got a few tomatoes struggling after being away for a few days. The rest is doing well. First round of sweet corn are above my knee already. Second batch planted start of June are probably a foot tall. 5 bean plants is all I got after 3 rounds of planting. Save time picking them this year at least.

    • It’s done automatically.  You might need an actual person to clear that log in stuff up.   Trash your laptop history if you haven’t tried that already.
    • 😂 yea pretty amazing how b o o b i e s gets flagged, but they can't respond or tell me why I  can't get logged in here on my laptop but I can on my cellular  😪
    • I grilled some brats yesterday, maybe next weekend will the next round...  
    • You got word censored cuz you said        B o o b ies….. haha.   Yeah, no… grilling is on hiatus for a bit.
    • Chicken mine,  melded in Mccormick poultry seasoning for 24 hours.  Grill will get a break till the frigid temps go away!
    • we had some nice weather yesterday and this conundrum was driving me crazy  so I drove up to the house to take another look. I got a bunch of goodies via ups yesterday (cables,  winch ratchet parts, handles, leaf springs etc).   I wanted to make sure the new leaf springs I got fit. I got everything laid out and ready to go. Will be busy this weekend with kids stuff and too cold to fish anyway, but I will try to get back up there again next weekend and get it done. I don't think it will be bad once I get it lifted up.    For anyone in the google verse, the leaf springs are 4 leafs and measure 25 1/4" eye  to eye per Yetti. I didnt want to pay their markup so just got something else comparable rated for the same weight.   I am a first time wheel house owner, this is all new to me. My house didn't come with any handles for the rear cables? I was told this week by someone in the industry that cordless drills do not have enough brake to lower it slow enough and it can damage the cables and the ratchets in the winches.  I put on a handle last night and it is 100% better than using a drill, unfortatenly I found out the hard way lol and will only use the ICNutz to raise the house now.
    • I haven’t done any leaf springs for a long time and I can’t completely see the connections in your pics BUT I I’d be rounding up: PB Blaster, torch, 3 lb hammer, chisel, cut off tool, breaker bar, Jack stands or blocks.   This kind of stuff usually isn’t the easiest.   I would think you would be able to get at what you need by keeping the house up with Jack stands and getting the pressure off that suspension, then attack the hardware.  But again, I don’t feel like I can see everything going on there.
    • reviving an old thread due to running into the same issue with the same year of house. not expecting anything from yetti and I already have replacement parts ordered and on the way.   I am looking for some input or feedback on how to replace the leaf springs themselves.    If I jack the house up and remove the tire, is it possible to pivot the axel assembly low enough to get to the other end of the leaf spring and remove that one bolt?   Or do I have to remove the entire pivot arm to get to it? Then I also have to factor in brake wire as well then. What a mess   My house is currently an hour away from my home at a relatives, going to go back up and look it over again and try to figure out a game plan.           Above pic is with house lowered on ice, the other end of that leaf is what I need to get to.   above pic is side that middle bolt broke and bottom 2 leafs fell out here is other side that didnt break but you can see bottom half of leaf already did but atleast bolt is still in there here is hub assembly in my garage with house lowered and tires off when I put new tires on it a couple months ago. hopefully I can raise house high enough that it can drop down far enough and not snap brake cable there so I can get to that other end of the leaf spring.
