Dangerous Gardening - Wisconsin Garden Update

Tips, Tricks

1. thankyou for a response!! keep up the great gardening!!
2. great garden!, was curious as to what you meant at the end of video, those loud noises that mostly come out at night, sounded alot like something ive heard before
3. :D & I thought the snake on the thumbnail was the "Dangerous" part of the gardening.. My father has just had a burrowing tick cut out of his chest, nasty pieces of work.. Cheers sir.. 
4. Looking good. I like hognose snakes. They are very nice actually. The pumpkins look lovely. I've got gourds growing again. Come see my videos.
5. I've tried pumpkins a few times and had moderate success but I want the size I need a front-loader to lift up. My greed knows no bounds. I don't know of anyone else around here who tries pumpkins, I'm the only one mad enough to.
6. You can always tell a hognose by the turned up tip on the nose. Although Hognoses will spread their head (Like a cobra) and strike at you, they will NOT bite. Their primary diet is toads.
7. It's all clear to me now. I actually watched the whold cartoon. It brought back some fond memories from my childhood! Chuck
8. I'm really interested in your covering the stems of the squash to prevent the borers. I'm going to try that using the straw I have. They ruined my whole crop last year. I can appreciate the snake, but wouldn't want to find one in my garden. I can't appreiciate the ticks at all. Yuck! Thanks for sharing the dangers of your garden and the growth of your plants. Lynn
9. You called them wood ticks do they carry lyme disease like the deer ticks do. 
10. If you go into the tick business, I'm bathing in Deet before I come over again.... Hey, I've heard that crushed catnip juice works well for warding off ticks. I wonder if it works... Though catnip does stink quite a lot, I could stand that better than the ticks or the Deet....
11. Yes, we have wood ticks and I guess deer ticks. The weird thing was my sister found one on her puppy and got it off him, and the sack thing that was holding blood came off and it looked like one of the kind you had. I did not know that happened. I looked it up and could not find what I wanted to know. The big ones I always thought looked like a piece of corn. Just weird. 
12. LOL good one :D
13. I was looking forward to the lockness monster coming out of the waters while you were weeding and grab ya! The Hoys have some nice thick stems. Are you single stemming your plants? 
14. Dreaming maybe but that's how all Entrepreneurs start off. You could breed them in your storage room, just give them a cheap piece of steak to suck on and lay their brood. You can do it, just let me know how it works and you don't need to include me in on the business:))
15. Ticks bad here too. I don't care if that snake is poisonous or not, I would not like to come across it anywhere, anytime. Your garden looks good. Can't believe those pumpkin leaves. Nice!
16. Hungry deer, Florida they're smaller. My tomatoes have white flies, spider mites, moths what might be nematodes on 16mth old tomato plants I burnt the corn w/ the spidermites & worms. It's a good thing we get a second growing season here because this 1st one failed my friends in Woodstock,IL. have a lake yard. That snake has his eye on you I keep catching snakes in the bird netting, dead before I notice, then the vultures eat them. The coachwhip snake here climbs up trees a lil to catch snacks.
17. Ticks have been really bad this year for us as well. tobacco leaf pie. :_)
18. I'd say you have quite a supply of ticks. Have you thought of selling them to folks that raise lizards or small snakes?
19. I agree, feels like something crawling under your skin, paranoid after
20. You R blessed my friend, I love country, and what it presents in its self raw to the world. Very special place you have there, Others are in the City daily keeping up with the Jone's Ha Ha we don't need that do we.
