    Three Sisters Garden

    That's great Chicken_Boy! I never heard about this method until after I planted all my seeds. :idunno Are they all supposed to really help each other? I could understand about the beans supplying the corn with plenty of nitrogen, but what about the squash? Love to see photos :D

    My first nibble from my garden

    I'm jealous ;) But I can't wait for my radishes. They will be the first thing I've ever grown in my life, and I will be so proud!

    My garden is growing

    Gardening is a new experience which is literally growing on me. I'm so new, and learning every day! A few weeks ago I grabbed some (more like a lot!) of seed packets of what I wanted to experiment with and planted them in a perfect area. Being new, I had no idea what was a weed and what was a...

    What NOT to plant next to each other

    I've never grown either, but I would think that the bean vines might "suffocate" the corn? :idunno Just a thought.

    What NOT to plant next to each other

    Oops, I guess I didn't look at too thoroughly :rolleyes: I was only looking at beans. Silly me.

    What NOT to plant next to each other

    Completely newbie here also, :P but I heard that putting beans (a plant that puts tons of nitrogen into the soil) around nitrogen sucking plants like corn will help a ton. I know your asking for what NOT to plant next to each other, but this website should show you what is okay. Here's a...

    The tree is beautiful, Reinbeau and the same with your.. knot garden? That's what they are called? Anyways, it's very simplistic and very formal. :clap What do you plan on putting in there?

    what kind of vegetables should i plant?

    I've never seen Forest Gump..:hide I'm ashamed! Well it is kind of amazing how people can figure out how to combine things. You never know, it might turn out to be delicious! But I think Zucchini ice cream just wouldn't work haha.

    Are my tomatoes positioned wrong?

    But I think the cascading bean vines would be absolutely beautiful. I think any bean could do the trick. I'm thinking of just putting a bush bean in there and having it kind of fluff out. Basil would be a good one to do because of the natural flavor. :) & The website you posted was great! It...

    Who knows Poo?

    Cookie, just a small suggestion. Right now I have a doe with a litter of 9 (wow!) and two of her does from a litter she had before. Along with a buck that runs around in the coop. On to the suggestion, I only put the buck out in the coop (or bucks in your case, i think its safe as long as they...

    Are my tomatoes positioned wrong?

    I just purchased a Topsy Turvy a few days as well. I'm excited. :) I read somewhere that planting something that gives off a lot of nitrogen is excellent for the tomato plant and will do better than without. The only thing I would be worrying about is if the pepper plant got too large and was...

    Completely new to gardening, advice?

    Really? Snakes are great pets, and they feel so smooth. My boyfriend has an endangered snake speciec called the Indigo. They are supposed to be the largest non-venomous snake in the US. I guess it's because it either doesn't kill the prey as quickly or it swallows it the opposite direction so...
