Ray, here. I was the one that for the last five years exhorted you to find a fully sunny location for your garden. Great job! Yes those are carrots. The green leafy thing is leaf lettuce starting to "bolt" (go to seed), which makes cut leaves and stems milky and bitter. Pull it out or throw on compost pile (best). It's usual to see vegetables sprout from seed dropped from last years. Tomatoes do that a lot. Make sure you water extra, pots drain and dry easily. Yes, good time to fertilize. Each veggie may require a different fertilizer concoction (nitrogen vs potassium). Time to stake the tomatoes and pinch out side suckers at the second leaflet mark. Expect animal raids that can devastate a garden in one night.

RUSSELL, The hole in the salt block is for putting it on a post. Turn your block hole side down.

[@shawneegrows]

I like how your laundry will have grill scent to them. Nice touch. I just recently started hanging up a hummingbird feeder. Girthy potato. Garden is impressive this season.

[@rosebud6485]

The scenery is gorgeous! I would spend more time outdoors except I can’t stand the heat, humidity and bugs! I’d much rather enjoy cooler and cold weather-and even snow. I see a lot of deer around here in the mountains of West Virginia and they are beautiful, but I am all for responsible hunting. Thanks for sharing your video. 😊

I am so happy your garden is so much better this year. Always great to have Ray on the show. That meal looked so good.

[@ALittleFishintheKitchen]

I enjoyed the video, Russell. Always good to see what you all have been up too. The garden is thriving!! That's amazing, happy for y'all. We didn't even try this spring, will try for a garden this fall though!! The comments about Ray's moustache always crack me up, he looks better without it though. I like clean shaven, moustaches make me think of my dad 😆 Keep up the good work, hope those mosquito zappers work!!

[@YvonneSebastian1980]

Hi Ray……….. ohhh yea you too Russell.. lol.. hey, I was on the old Tickety tok.. and I saw some guy walking through the woods with these floating like dragonflies attached to him and no bugs were bothering him. Just an FYI… garden looking good.. have a great weekend..❤️☮️

[@pamdavison7020]

They are called the dragonfly wingman comes in a 2 pk. ,I think you can find them in Canadian Tire camping section. I where it on my hat all the time when outside in the country, they keep the horse flies and deer flies from landing on you. Someone ask me if it works while he had a dozen flying around him and I had one .😂

[@lizweekly1483]

Hi Guys! Ray! No mustache! Makes you look 10 years younger!!

[@GrandpaBees]

Hummingbirds will stop or slow down activity at the feeder due a few reasons. Two of the most common are; mother nature is providing plenty. Another is the nesting season is on. In combo little to no activity at feeder. Keep cleaning feeder and cycling the syrup out as the summer wanes and before migration starts, they will be back at your feeder.

[@RaspberryRockOffGridCabin]

Thanks Bill. It wasn't long after I filmed that segment that CG cleaned them out and replaced the syrup. She said they were getting nasty, so I guess that was the reason. We did see them again not long after.

[@GrandpaBees]

@@RaspberryRockOffGridCabin , I assumed you were cleaning the feeder regularly, so didn't mention the need and importance.

Russell it's not that uncommon to get improperly packed seeds in packets. Happens quite a bit. You can try using your cell snap a pic with Google Lens. Sometimes that will tell you what the plant is. Works with insects too. Good job working on your crops! Once you get rolling you'll save tons of money.

[@RaspberryRockOffGridCabin]

Thanks Mike. We compared the seed packets, they're definitely different. I'm pretty sure CG was just mistaken.

[@h.h.6551]

Always used the hole in the salt block for hanging the block on a steel pipe in the pasture for our cattle.

[@RaspberryRockOffGridCabin]

Eric, do the cows ever eat the dirt where the salt block drips?

[@ericmonahan6580]

@@RaspberryRockOffGridCabin Not sure. We never fed them grain there so I think they just licked the block. Now where we fed them grain they would lap up every bit in the trough or on the ground. No CWD in any of our cattle or our deer for that matter but there has been some in the other parts of the state (in deer herd).

Greetings from Northeast Ohio. Hey Russell, get rid of those little trees behind the potatoes.

True to Heaven is the slang term I do not know the real term.
