Thanks Racerboy. I was kinda worried it meant something like "stranger-danger" lol But yeah, cool. I am pretty behind the times with this type of stuff. So thanks for helping me out. I appreciate the rep. I will hit you back. =)

I want to post some pics, but I just tried to get them from the phone to the computer and nothing. But I do have some beautiful pics. My one surviving hollyhock I planted last year finally bloomed. Something is eating it alive - besides the snails. It has what appear to be hard brown spots on the underside of the leaves. It started mostly on the bottom and has worked it's way up eating away the leaves. I have sprayed my yard with nematodes, but that hasn't seemed to help. That was mostly for the fleas but if it works for my flora, then great.

yah, i hate trying to get them from my phone to the computer, it seems that i always run into a few snags along the way.. going from my digital camera to the computer is much easier, it just seems that i never take my camera out to my garden, lol..
i do have a bunch of pix of my garden on my phone too, which pisses me off as i wish i could get them online easier..
we got a good rain last night and some of the pepper plants that looked like they were a lil droopy yesterday look a lot better today, which makes me feel better about them for sure..

I have a small variety this year, 5-6 monsterous tomato plants (lucky seed choice), 3 iceburg lettuce, 5 onions (spanish yellow), 3 bell pepper, 2 jalapeno, Basil, parsley, zucchini, brussel sprots, 2 broccoli, a pumpkin, 2 walter mellons (sugar babies), and tons of strawberries that are overgrowing my flower beds lol oh and a small field of cherrie tomatos from last years plant. I'll maybe get some pictures up, but i get stoned to garden, so i may forget. =)

yah, i used to steal, errr, borrow this big plastic sheets from my job, but being i'm laid off this year, i had to go out and buy the weed cloths... makes it much easier than having to weed all summer long, that is for sure..

this is my first year attempting any canteloupes.. not really expecting much out of them tbh, but i'd love it if something actually grew on them as i do love me some canteloupes..

looking awesome gastanker.. very nice indeed.. i so hate that i'm such a procrastinator and always put things off till the last minute possible, but i'm sure my stuff will start growing fruit soon enough.. i do have a couple of buds on my tomato plants ....

you should get a small fence for what ever they are by the drive way there that seem to be growing mucho big, lol.. i like to put my cucumbers and squash up near a fence and train them so they climb on the fence and keep out of the dirt, and it seems to work fairly well.. those lil spindly arm thingy's always love to have something to hold onto ..

the herbs look really nice as well.. i bought some bee balm and have some basil and just got this odd i think it's like chocolate basil today at the famers market. i know it's not called chocolate basil as i'm forgetting the name atm, but it has a lovely dark purple / black leaf, and the vendor said it has a nice chocolate undertone to it..
we've also been growing a few different varieties of mint for years that just seem to come back year after year without much attention on my part..

It sounds like chocolate basil 
I love that stuff. I use to have chocolate mint and I have chocolate tomatoes this year - will have to look for chocolate basil next go around.
Right now the butternut squash seem to be the climbers. They keep attempting to crawl up my tomatoes which is getting pretty annoying. The fence space is reserved for morning glories and raspberries so I'm having the butternut crawl along the driveway on top of pieces of fencing so that I can move them around and to keep them off the hot pavement. I have a ton of zucchini getting bigger and bigger by the day that I'm hoping bush up rather than sprawl out - I might have to start training some of them up the fence unless I want to dedicate all of my spare parking towards veggies.
