"I have a question. I have small black spots on all of our grapes. I think this is the 4th year for us to grow them. Should i spray them with something?

leah martin replied to Pam Duczkowski MI-Z4's discussion Training cucumbers and squash in the group Square Foot Gardening"R. Lee, do you have any photos of the set up you're talking about with the pvc and netting? It's my first year not leaving them to their own devices on the ground...
Many thanks for your ideas!

William Brooks Zone 7/OK commented on Pam Duczkowski MI-Z4's group Grapevines"I would pull the fruit off this year and next year you can leave the fruit on from there out. You will be glad you did in the long run and will have a better grape production."

Still Waiting for Warm Weather
Michigan weather sure has made gardening a challenge this year. We have gone through dry spells, wind, cold and day after day of rain. Sometimes I feel like I should wrap my vege garden up at night. On the positive side, which is the better side, I have really enjoyed the challenge.
My husband has been working on a potting shed for me and the last window went in tonight. Now all we have to do is finish the trim and get the window boxes made and I can focus on getting the inside finished. I'm very excited and very happy that he has made this dream a reality for me. At least I thnk it is for me...maybe he just wants my gardening supplies out of his garage.
Hope everyone is enjoying their garden time when they can get it; I know I am.

Sharon McGarry said… - It is called Cedar Hedge. She has been raising hostas for over 20 years and has the most incredible gardens. You can walk through and see mature hostas and other plants/ It is so inspirational...makes you want to come home and get to work. Then she has hundreds of kinds of hosta plants for sale, from like $5 to ?? (I didn't look at the collectors table) She loves to talk about hostas, but isn't intrusive. Just a fun place. Oh...by the way, It is in Interlochen and you would need directions to find it...it is just at her home. I think she has a web site.

- Hi Pam,
Just had a great day at a local hosta place. She has the most amazing gardens and hundreds of hosta varieties. Plus she is a very enthusiastic gardener and hosta lover!!! My friend and I had so much fun and came home with several hostas!! The mini-hostas are adorable!

- Hi Pam,
I'm from Traverse City, and I'm beginning to think that this whole summer is going to be crazy! But things are growing...and surprisingly, doing pretty well. Nice to have people to chat with about out plant families!

Alice Tengler said… - I hope that one day my kids will do the same as I. I believe they will because we exposed them to this. I believe it's so important that they see alternatives to grocery stores that ship their vegetables from some other country and to prevent spoilage spray them with something our bodies cannot digest. We are showing them a good thing. Especially if you can't get the peas into the house!

Helen Switzer said… - Hello Pam, good to meet you... I was out 'til sunset planting corn and pumpkins last night. So you really aren't too late. I have a kitchen garden here in town. My husband has a hobby farm outside of town, we have been keeping an eye on the apples. Last year was devastating. We had a hard frost on Memorial day, then a tornado on June 13th, then drought the rest of the summer. We waited like you til the crazy weather was over, we hope. So much for global warming, I think were getting the next ice age here!

- Welcome Pam! I know what you mean when you say everyone is tired of listening about your gardening. My family won't help me but when we have company and they compliment on the gardens, they're the first to say thank you! LOL

- Hello fellow freezing Michigander, or do you prefer Michiganian? I like Gander better. Just joined and am interested in area gardeners and chatting about plants. Everyone in my house is sick of me and my plants! Hope to chat soon.

- Hey, Pam. I live in zone 6, so warmer a bit. But in honesty, I love being a composter! I just throw in scraps & eggs shells all spring, summer & autumn. Then let it sit over the winter & ready to be dumped into the veggie garden next spring. well worth it!
