We probably should move to the drinking thread. I'll answer your questions there the best I can.

A fascinating discussion at this link about whether plants can communicate using sound.

Re: Garden Geeks thread
Just picked my first batch of summer squash from my second planting. Did a 2nd planting of zukes also just 3 weeks ago and it looks like I'll be harvesting them by late Sept. to beginning of October.
Tomatoes and eggplant still going very strong. Cukes still there, but slowing down considerably. Recent plantings of spinach and beets won't be long til harvest.

So if a tree falls in the forest and there are no people around, it does make a sound?

Depends if you're running a pot or reflux still.

Watching the bees (out the window while watching the Goofs) today has been amazing.
I have these white flowers that bloomed (garlicky smell from the plant) and a bunch of echinacea. There must be two dozen bees on this small patch of flowers and it's been that way for hours. Just honeybees.

I have a big herb garden with thyme, oregano, lots of allium, chives. When the sun is out, midday it looks like it is one heaving mass of flying bees, various other stinging, buzzing insects of all shapes and sizes. SOme really weird bugs pollinate things.

Re: Garden Geeks thread
Arugula is starting to come up and the tomato plants are starting to show some growth. And the herbs seem to be doing ok, even the mint, which seemed in bad shape last week. In the coming weeks we'll plant lettuce, kale, some more asparagus, and probably one or two other things. Oh, and we planted some garlic, which was from our garden last year.

They were ripe and juicy, but unfortunately, almost entirely lacking in taste. Oh well.

Re: Garden Geeks thread
Still getting green beans
Tomatoes- which were not producing to begin with now all have blight and are unlikely to produce at all.
Cukes failed miserable. SSq and Zukes failed too. Most abysmal garden year yet.
except the beans which are acting like they are on steroids. I have enough beans to feed an army.

This is the only difference between your garden and mine. I didn't get any beans either.

Re: Garden Geeks thread
He is just a goofy Golden but he likes to chase them off, they got all my chard also. I have the garden fenced on 3 sides but never put the electric up on the 4th side and they walked right in. There are 20 or so apple trees around but my beans were better I guess.Bet the dog is loving you
Re: Garden Geeks thread
My old neighbor figured out how to keep squirrels out of the garden. He knew they were watching his sweet corn for perfect ripeness, and they got the first few ears. Then his smoke detector started beeping for a new battery, and purely on a whim, he pulled it down and put it in the garden. The squirrels never bothered the rest of the crop while the detector was beeping. They just sat on the power pole and cursed as only squirrels can do.
