When I up-pot any of my seedlings, I use the same sterile starting mix they started in, but increase the strength of the liquid fertilizer. I use...
Hello to Central New York from Central Texas! We'd all love to see photos of Boris and Natasha, your flowers and anything else you wish to show!...
My stars! You'd better plan on having neighbors come for breakfast with all those bananas! That flower is fascinating. I'd never thought of it...
If by "maxed themselves out in their containers" you mean they are rootbound (when removed from the container there is a mass of roots all...
Dooley, I'm afraid I'd be asked to leave the community gardening project if I did that!
Very stupid! After spending years telling people to keep their mint in a pot because mint runs, I just planted spearmint in the ground. I know, I...
Oh, Carolyn, that is absolutely super! You did such a good job getting it up and running. Sorry I can't help with the Elephant Ears--they...

Wow, 44 happy years, congratulations! I suppose that means you were a child bride (just like me :wink: ).
You sure have a "nose for bargains!" I'm envious, I admit it. All the Craigslist here has is junk cars and BeanieBabies. :(
New2it33, great! If they haven't left yet it is unlikely they will leave the hive. Are they coming and going? Do you have a source of water nearby...
FBG, we are in farming country, surrounded by wheat, oats, corn, and pastures. Our bees and our honey are fine. We haven't found the pollen from...
Eileen, I could ship you the corpse. I have no plans for it.
Eileen, if you find a fly being eaten by a fungus fascinating, would you like to come get the skunk for me? You might find that very interesting....
Wow, after seeing that, getting the dead skunk out from under the porch doesn't seem like such a gross task after all. I think this is going to...
