I bought some Bush Early Girls from Garden Trends which is owned by Harris Seeds Co, And honestly I don't know if I'm wrong or not but from what my mother has always told me 'bush' plants are short and bushy like a shrub you know? And they aren't suppose to grow over a foot. Well I took this pic...

I just finished putting in the last transplant yesterday, I have around 100 Bell Peppers, 45 Bush Early Girls and 43 Bush Roma Tomatoes. Last thing I have to do is staking the plants and doing some patch work on the cloth weed barrier where it ripped from so much foot traffic when I was working.

I started this one back in March this is the oldest pile, most of its rotted and I thought it could do with some more cooking but my mom swiped some for her grapevines So that's why it's small looking ^_^ And this is the newest pile, I mowed the lawn today so I put two big bags full of...

With the new season coming up, I'm starting up gardening again in my old section. I stopped about 4 years ago and I'm finding myself trying new methods now. And with all the leafs from Fall/Winter I thought " Why not compost them? " I saw a video on Farmer's Almanac that said you want 2 parts...

I bought some Butternut and Spaghetti this month I'm a month behind in planting them so they will come up in DEC instead of NOV,And when I get ready to transplant them out of the cells into the ground I told my mom I was thinking of when they start getting ready to run to lay down some clear...

I ordered some Yellow Belles II from Stokes Seeds and planted them back in late Feb 2015 and transplanted them when they were old enough and strong. The plants I have now are healthy they are full of peppers and blooms. But the peppers on them seem to take forever to ripen and then when they do...

I'm growing Red and Yellow Bells and I sell them to a CO-OP and he told me last week that they aren't lasting very long for shelf life and I will pick them as they ripen on the plant since I don't want the bugs to attack them. But I was wondering If I should just start picking them once a week...

My tomatoes have started coming in and yesterday I harvested 2 lbs of Banana Peppers and I'm hoping the Cayenne and Bells are right behind them.So I was wondering how much should I have on hand before advertising that I have them for sale? I figured I need at least 10 lbs of each produce.

I read on Almanac.com it says that when planting Peppers to plant 3 seeds then take out the weakest and let the other 2 grow as one plant the rest of their life.Well when I planted in my 72 cell tray I dropped in 1 seed each,So can I just plant 1 pepper plant on either side of the stake? Cause...

Been a while since I posted here lol,But Last Fall/Winter I planted Okra,Collards,Mustards,Winter Squash,Beets,Turnips,Rutabaga's for the first time and well I bombed out,No one in my area bought any so I thought maybe I should only do a Spring/Summer crop from now on. My mom says I should...

I know in the Squash family along with other family's you are not suppose to plant them in the same spot 2 years in a row give or take.My question is say I planted in Spring/Summer 2015 Watermelon,Cantaloupe,Summer Yellow/Green Squash and Cucumbers.Does that mean in the Fall 2015 I could not...

I had planted pumpkins in early July so that they would be ready by Oct 1st hopefully! My white pumpkins have healthy green leafs and rarely get sick.While my oranges and mini oranges do get sick quite often. I have been pruning off the leafs that are sick/dying I cut it at the stem where its...

Yeah when me and my mom go to the store we see wax on Rutabaga's and i was just wondering,on a site it says don't use wax if your going to store them cause it will injury the plant.I'm planning on selling my rutabaga's and was wondering can i just wash them off and sell them as is?
