I transplanted watermelons today and regret that. They are still there but Im sure not happy. Also planted a couple thornless blackberry plants

Slick, where did you get your carb? I need to replace the carb on my Mantis.

And I agree, it's a great little machine.

Got the sucker off Amazon! Less than 16 bucks! New carb, hoses, spark plug, air filter, the works! Here's a link to the one I bought. Took less than 30 minutes to make the switch out. Put in fresh gas, cranked right up. Tweaked the jets just a bit and it was humming like it was brand new.

Thanks, buddy. Just what I was looking for.

I just ordered, and it was Prime free shipping with no tax. Heck of a deal for $15.88.

Thanks again.

Yea, I ordered Monday morning Prime. Shipped same day and I actually got the kit on Tuesday... Was weeding with the Mantis Wednesday afternoon...

Squirrels are at it again! I went to check on the beans and every little veggie was eaten down to the stem end. Probably lost 40 beans that we were planning on eating with dinner last night.

My cat takes care of that, mice, and rabbits for me. Two or three times a week he drags a dead something to the back porch as proof he doesn't need us.

If we don't get rained out, I will row the rest of the garden and get the peas n corn planted... Everything is doing really well so far...well except something is cutting the leaves off the bell pepper plants... Gonna Seven Dust 'em after the rain...

It's a nice toasty 66 in the greenhouse.

Greatness ! But needs more amperage. And a grounded plate or hardware fabric below the feeder to catch the squirrel, and continue the frying.

Wow! I gotta give it to ya. If I had to go through all that trouble to grow some veggies, I'd have to pass! Look forward to following your garden this season!

My wife planted the rest of her Cukes, cantaloupes, squash, and some more maters n peppers...

The wind is gettin' it right now, but so far no rain... sure hope that continues to be the case.

[hooligan]

Turns out we'll be getting a bunch of bonus cantaloupe... our compost had seeds that are now sprouting all over

[SaltwaterSlick]

Well, so much for working in the garden today... Rain pretty much all night and it don't look like it's done... Apparently no hail or anything damaging other than just too much water... I did get the rest of it plowed yesterday evening before the rains hit.

[fox1]

Too much water is not even close to being our problem, we need rain in the worse way. I rigged up a self watering system this evening on my strawberrys.
It's on a timer so it's plug and go
