Excessive water flooding the area + obvious die back is usually pretty telling. You can probably take some cuttings from the parts that haven't died back yet and get them to sprout roots to propagate a new hedge or fill in dead spots at least.

This is the time where you start considering the purchase of a vacuum sealer for freezing excess foods. Start dry brining your meats with salt + whatever seasonings and vacuum seal + freeze them. Between your frozen veggies and meats you can basically cook good meals easily as all veggies and meats actually turn out better from frozen then if you freeze then thaw before cooking.

Sounds like they got you hook, lined, and sinker'd. You could at least listen to the guy talk and hear his view points.

I don't know man. I'd look into Kneesovertoesguy if I was you. He's pretty knowledgeable on knee surgeries and his results are pretty sturdy. A doctor's job is not to tell you the alternate options though, they will paint it as you are in an unhealable state which is cap.

MSG was discovered from seaweed, then people figured out they could make it from other ingredients.

Time to learn a new skill. I suggest home cooking. Specifically a 24 hour dry brined steak so you can be proud of yourself and eat good.

Shoot just this year on Friday over on Kauai I was talking to my friend from Texas and he was like "we can't do anything outside right now though right? Because we're gonna get hit by bad weather?". I looked at him, blinked a few times, and shook my head. Media is so good at instilling fear in people.

Wanna bet? There's documented cases of people recovering from horrific accidents by stretching, I can tell already though that you don't stretch on a daily basis so you're not exactly the right person to be saying if it works or not.

Just for you info. His pain is because of his experiences coupled with his lack of stretching. If you stretch as a life style you will just feel bad for achy people.

Should sell some of the old long ones to the muslim women who have to wear head covers.

In general I've found waiting about 10-14 days after the tendril dries up is the peak point of harvesting at least with the varieties I've grown and they do vary. I don't think you should worry too much about the field spot, in my research it pointed out that the yellow spot is not always there and can be pale. My advice would be to note the date the tendril dries and then harvest 10 days from then and note the results, adjust to waiting more or less time based on the results.

No it's not ripe. The tendril curly q is still green. The sun spot is because it's a big melon that grows longer so it's getting a sun tan, market growers cover their big melons with blankets or towels to prevent that just because it's not as visually appealing but won't affect the fruit.

Ah you must be on the Big Island. In that case I recommend a hand held battery powered power hammer with a cold chisel attachment for your digging, the shovel can then act as a material mover rather than a chisel.

Actually there's a better way if you are smart enough to understand the concept of not letting the tree settle and sink it's trunk into the soil. That way would be to dig the hole deeper and use a few rocks to prop up the tree to the correct height. Tree roots make secondary thin feeder roots that are capable of penetrating rocks to harvest the minerals, this helps prevent mineral deficiency's.

If you like authentic Mexican food and have access to the ingredients than Rick Bayless is super legit to watch.

You should be ok. They love how hot it is right now so if you water them well they will grow fast. Well actually it depends how deep you prepped your soil too, deep roots help grow watermelons faster.
