2009 Garden Vlog 11, Pruning Cucumber Vines, Compost, Beans
I finally had to do *something* about my cucumber vines which were about to totally smother my cantaloupe and watermelon vines. Also a little about my compost pile and my beans. Music: “Cumbia No Frills” From: Kevin Mcleod/Incompetech.com

check out my cucumber garden…
It might be therapeutic for about 5 minutes. Then I start thinking of the 10,000 things I’d rather be doing. Just hanging out in the garden and petting my cats and not doing anything in particular is far more therapeutic:)))
Don’t you find watering the garden somewhat therapeutic? From what I remember… I’d get a peaceful feeling while I watered :O)
I’d gladly share this rain with you! It poured SO hard last night I felt as though I was living under a waterfall. I have hung my laundry on the line so many times just to find myself scurrying to bring it all inside. I just hang it on racks now so I can move it without the need to rehang. I haven’t been able to mulch my lawn because if there is a break in the rain to mow it’s too long. I start digging an irrigation system to your garden so your soil will soften. :O)
Actually it’s pretty buggy here too. I’m sure I get bitten by several mosquitoes most summer days. So far I’ve not gotten any dread diseases from them so I must have a pretty good immune system. The county where I live does occasionally have a case of encephalitis which is spread by mosquitoes.
And I want my rain back!!! I spent 2 solid hours watering stuff yesterday, GRRRR. On those rare days when I do get rain it’s seldom more than a quarter inch or so. The ground is like concrete.
OMG! I have an awesome tan between the bottom of my shirt and the top of my pants. LOL I have been too lazy to wear overalls lately. Dusk is too buggy here. We have had too much rain! You sent it my way a few months ago but I’m ready to share :O)
I usually garden at dusk so as to prevent butt burn, LOL.
I’m thinking about buying a small plane… let me know your gardening schedule ;O)
Thankfully my neighbors aren’t very close by so they aren’t treated to views of me:) However I do seem to occasionally moon a low flying plane or helecoptor, LOL.
robertpina99…AAHHH Poetry AND gardening… two of my favorite things :O)
It CAN be a problem when your cucumbers overwhelm your melons!
I guess that is the view that my neighbors see of me when they pass by.
Yep, I did cooking vids last year for both okra and squash. And I did an okra contest thing.
This is a fair amount of okra but still nowhere near as much as I had last year. Last year I had almost 100 plants and this year I’m down to 39 because 100 plants worked me to death!!! I’ve still got frozen okra I’ve not eaten yet.
WOW!!! That’s alot of okra! You had A BUNCH last year, and even did a vid on frying it, didn’t you? I definitely remember you frying/cooking the zucchini!
but the beans I have planted in the corn are having to fend for themselves on the bug front. It’s just too labor intensive to debug them. Those are getting eat on quite a bit but I still think I’ll get quite a few beans off of them.
That weed has really spread a lot alongside my okra row. I’m still leaving it though. One good thing about it is if I ever decide to tear any of it out it’s easy to remove because even though it spreads it doesn’t re-root itself very often. I could tear out a large amount in minutes with minimal effort.
The beans are really a wild card. Even I don’t know how much I’ll get. The 30 foot row I replanted is SUPER healthy looking and I’ve been working hard at picking bugs off it, Cont.
I have no idea what that weed is that’s growing around your beans, but I have tons of it growing in my garden too. I let it grow because it doesn’t seem too invasive and doesn’t strangle anything out. You’re right that it keeps other weeds down a bit too. You’re gonna have a whole hell of alot of beans. holy crap! lol
Movavi’s video file converter is very good and you can buy that as a stand alone program. They also have a video editor. I never could get that to work very well for me though. However they’ve done a couple of upgrades since I’ve tried it. Maybe it’s better now but I don’t really know, so I can only recommend their converter and not either their editor or their “Suite* which is a combination of several of their programs including the editor and file converter. Just Google Movavi.
At one point in time I did use Movie Maker and I had to use a file converter to convert my files to .Wmv files.

I edit with Adobe Premiere Elements which handles most file formats including AVI. Actually Windows Movie Maker does handle some forms of AVI. I guess there’s subtle differences in AVI’s and it can’t handle all of them. Continued
Thanks MLGThumb! Unfortunately in most things other than compost piles when you keep tossing crap on a pile you wind up with a pile of crap, LOL.
I was wondering if you could answer this question for me, are your video files avi and if so how do you edit them, I cannot edit with windows movie maker because my camcorder has AVI files…do you have any idea??
