After last years 90% garden loss due to flooding, deer and Colorado potato Beatles 2022 is showing great potential. My Garlic harvest has been a great success. If you are wondering what the heck I’m doing growing so much food? I just enjoy gardening! I love sharing with family, friends, neighbours and anyone who visits. I particularly love sharing with people needing a little help. Some days I make up little packages and deliver them to my senior relatives. It’s always nice to help out the local soup kitchens. Nothing goes to waist. I love canning string beans, tomatoes and things. My onions and potatoes last 4-6 months, the garlic lasted from August last year until June this year….we ran out I gave too much away lol. Enjoy the pictures, share your photos of anything you’ve grown. Big or small we’ll love them all.

More 2022 garden pictures! I’ll have to take some pictures of the other garden later today. Squash, Watermelon, and corn.

Just released my second map this month, mp_hobby_farm_v2. This is a medium/large map that supports DM, TDM, CTF, HTF, and hopefully, HQ. In this map, I worked with rotating brushes, created a few of my own prefabs, and imported quite a few clan pictures for our Headquarters building. We have been running it on our server, IAF Playground , for the last week or so, and it has played well. I included a pair of transporters and 2 mg42s. Please feel free to take and share!

@SGTSmeg you asked a question about growing garlic. I grow the Hard neck variety called Music. Hard neck have fewer but larger cloves per bulb. They(Hard neck) have a woody stock in the centre. They are more hardy in colder, northern areas and tend to last longer. Depending on location and severity of winter HN are planted in the fall 2-3 weeks before the ground freeze’s. This allows the garlic clove to set roots. HN garlic must go through a cold dormant spell before sprouting in the very early spring. HN garlic can withstand diverse soil types but really loves a soil with a lot of organic matter. Most garlic plantings benefit from a thick layer of mulch when planted. The mulch alleviates multiple freeze thaw cycles which will damage the new developing roots. I live 2 miles from the coast and experience several drastic freeze thaw cycles most winters. Therefore I use a very thick mulch, I even have to hold the mulch down with weighted wire fence material or it will blow away. HN garlic produce a flower step called a scape. The scapes should be removed allowing the garlic to concentrate on bulb development rather than flowering. The flower turns to a thing called bulbils. Bulbils can be planted but it would take 2-3 years to propagate bulbs of an size. Garlic must be dried out of the sun with good air circulation for 2-3 weeks. This allows the nutrition from the leaves to be drawn into the cloves. Once dried the roots and stocks should be cut off the dirt can be rubbed off not washed as water will promote rot. One of the thin skins should be removed allowing for a very clean pristine garlic bulb. Here are a couple of pictures from last year’s crop after being cleaned up. If anyone has a few questions I’ll try and answer.

I met Sally at the fair this week! She's a pretty cool bird. I don't think it was the real Sally though she didn't come in first place!

Pike season opened today on my local lake, poor photo but 1st cast got this one on a lure hit it as soon as it sunk, ended up with 4, best one 10lbs

Me mowing the lawn (been a dry year) digging out the wide angle lens for the veg patch now

Kinda like your women?

I can supply unlimited Bullshit ?

Very ambitious. I converted my 8' x 8' plot into a flower garden and joined the Community Sponsored Agriculture(C.A.S.) across the street to do the work for me. lol. I pay a fee in January and pick up weekly supplies, depending on what is in season, from the end of June to the end of October. It keeps me and my 2 daughters and their families (12 people) supplied with fresh fruit and vegetables for the season.

Nice catch ?

lots of work!!! Nice garden for sure!

Rob, try & be more tolerant. If that fails....

Now you tell him!!!!

This is my harvest! I don’t have anywhere near the size of your garden, I still manage to grow around 180 plants. More of a fun hobby. Elephant, California and the largest portion was originally smuggled in from Italy!

NICE gardens!!! With all that room ever try growing >IDIOTS<????? Just use plenty of manure

LOL. Only one better I have seen here is a large guy sitting on a 5 gal pail with a toilet roll attached in front of his computer.

I love our Code of Conduct.

Derby, Thank you for your appeal, the banning admin will be back with you on here in the near future.

Yes I have a big deer problem! I use 2 different electric fences. In the garden picture you can see the white electrified tape. this has 2 sets of fencing about 3 feet apart. the outer fence has 1 ribbon about 3 feet high the inner fence has 2 ribbons at 18 inches and 4 feet. the deer can jump it but the 3 dimensional look of it confuses them so they approach the fence with caution and put their nose on he outer fence and take a hit some folks put aluminum foil on the outer fence and smear it peanut butter or apple flavor to attract the deer then get shocked. my other garden has a 6 foot high single fence. The deer can jump this too but I stagger the steel, ribbon and nylon twine with the ribbon at about 3 feet high. Again this white electrified ribbon is a visual queue to the deer making them approach it and touch it with their nose. So far I have been very lucky and all the deer have stayed away from the gardens for 3 years. The E fence controllers put out 3-10,000 volts! One is both battery or 120 volts the other is just 120 volts

We know - you never keep quiet Unlimited Bullshit Disorder A mental disorder where a person cannot help but make up absurd comments and/or lies. Even if repeatedly asked to stop or even threatened, the person will continue to create bullshit comment/remarks about someone. Guy 1: Thom just told me that you were in a gay porno. Guy 2: Thats Bullshit! he's lying. One day later.... Guy 1:Thom said you have a crush on our male foreign language teacher. Guy 2: WTF that's a lie. Man, the amount of bullshit Thom can make up is unbelievable he must have Unlimited Bullshit Disorder.

They never recover, isn't that true Pia and Dot ?? Where you been buddy, thought you'd hibernated with those bears in your woods? you still stalking snakes?

Great info @WeednFeed, thank you for sharing that. So do you not have a problem with deer / animals raiding our garden? We can hardly put flowers down here without the varmints using them as a salad bar. Incredible garden!

I’d like to get into some pike but the only thing we have close to them around here are pike minnows. But nice fish man. Pretty decent size for a first cast

Nice garden. Sincerely, pizza b0y.

Always fun to try out new maps, especially on this old game we still love to play! Thanks! Will need to get in our rotations.

NICE!! Thanks for sharing

Thought everybody has one of those!!!!

Reminds me of the South Park episode where the kids were all playing WoW, non-stop and with no breaks, in Cartmans basement.

Well done both on your second map and wow thank you for sharing that is so cool

Thank you so much for your work, and to share it with >XI< ?
