Michigan must have colder days and nights than the rest of the country. Last week,I planted lettuce, spinach, peas outside. Tomato seeds in peat...
How nice to be almost ready to transplant. I just started my seeds last week.
Good job, Dan.
Donna, is there no snow in Virginia? If I had a cold frame, it would be beneath 14 inches of snow. Do you have some type heat in the cold frame?...
LOL With - 11 degrees, little will grow here. Uhoh, maybe I should check beneath the 14 inches of snow. There may be Chard from summer. It would...
Sjoerd, I think good drainage is a necessity with most crops. I do understand that garlic doesn't require great soil. Just loose enough for...
Thanks Frank.
Do not despair. Your garlic will grow.
Sjoerd, You may be on to the solution. One of the cauliflower actually had side shoots with tiny bits of cauliflower, but not formed into heads....
Carolyn, the trees don't actually belong to anyone. There is a trailer park there, but the trees are nearer the road. I think they are leftover...
We fed them sparingly. Perhaps they could have done with more? Yet the plants are robust. Just no sprouts nor heads of cauliflower.
Sjoerd, when did you set it out? I planted mine a month ago today, September 19th. Maybe your climate is cooler than here? If you're anything...
Don, you certainly are organized. The beans are something I would trade for. If my tomato seeds produce next year, maybe I will begin trading....
In these, Closing days of summer, I nearly despair of harvesting brussel sprouts and cauliflower. From 7 or 8 plants, I see two tiny heads of...
An update on garlic. I see garlic leaves above ground, so I rest assured of a garlic crop in 2014. I set out fewer cloves as we seem to use less...
Very informative. Now I am determined to create one, small hugelkulter raised bed. I'm always eager to try new gardening techniques. (Spelling may...
Carolyn, I see you call them Drops. I always heard Windfalls. Around the corner from our trailer park, about a half mile away, there are about...
Chrisle, I can't be positive about small seeds. I would go ahead and plant them to see what happens. I waited for my beans to dry on the vine,...
Chris, my daughter tells me that my bush beans are the Cranberry beans, but they look much like the climbers. Both are sort of striped, crimson....
Thanks Mart. I picked several full bean pods yesterday. Then I read that I should leave them on the vine to dry. There are plenty left, so no harm...
