Planted maestro Peas couple weeks ago. 2" high now and doing well. The seed pack states this variety produces 30" vines, can be grown with or without staking. Debating if I should stake or not. Wondering if a high wind could blow them over or not. Has anyone grown this variety before or any...

I have a few onions in containers I planted last fall. Over half them have bolted. Haven't harvested any yet because still green and standing tall. I know bolted onions need to be harvested within a month because they won't store as long. Do the bolted onions need to be kept dry during this time...

I see what your saying, miss cutting a few flowers and end up with early growth. It's really hard getting them all, so just concentrate on the larger flowers. I'm getting lots of flowers about 200 a week Im cutting off. Plant not transplanted outside yet but am in hardening off stage. Guess I...

Yea, not sure. Not familiar with that variety onion, but I will do some resurch on it.

I think I will be planting and overwintering the Texas grano or Texas supper sweet this fall from seed. Maybe both.

I'm trying to take all this information in little by little lol. It may take some time to sink in. New at trying to grow onions still after two years.🤔 What will work for me? Are you saying walla walla onions would be best for me? If that's the case I will try it for overwinter this fall. I have...

I hear you, Haven't grown any candy onions yet. I'm learning myself so better me not recommending anything lol. My second year doing onions. I've only planted onions sets last two years. I've heard planting by seeds less likely to bolt. Just wanted to try myself to see the outcome. First year...

I'm looking to overwinter onions from seed this fall. I thinking the recommendations for starting seeds is late August, and transplanting early October in zone 7a. I think I'm in a short-day veriety zone. Any recommendations?

I'm confused, Need more detailed information. Are you saying, yes pinch all flowers off, or not? Or if pinching upper most crotch from main stalk or other branches also. Have a lot of flowers coming from lots of side branches that's upper most crotch also.

Sounds like you're saying hold pinching off until transplant time?

I have 6 Bell Pepper plants 7 weeks old, 7" tall in flowering stage. Lots of flowers, main stems size of a pencil. Two-three more weeks before transplant outside. I have read keep flowers pinched off until two weeks after transplant. The 2 week delay is to allow the plant to get over transplant...

Ok, so Im assuming when pot is dryed out 4" down from top it's time to think about watering.

Not sure what you meaning, that sounds perfect. Meaning water now or wait? Just looking other members opinions.

Update: Bell peppers starting to look little better now. I'm doing a soil moisture test to maybe tell when to water. With my finger in soil to first knuckle feels dry. If push moisture meter in soil 1-1/2 to 2" into soil reads moisture level at 2-3. If push meter in soil 3" moisture reads 5-6...

Nice to have the extra space to do that. I did go back and add another half cup to the bell peppers which made up 1-1/2 cups total each container. The up-take of water absorption was slowing on the last half. The water needed for plants is usually .62 gallons per square foot. My 8" pot is...

Thank you for your input. I do have a mixed variety of bell peppers. Thank you for your input I do have a mixed variety of bell peppers.

By the way I did a little experiment after I watered this morning. I took a spare pot like bell peppers are in taped drain holes up filled with 1 cup water and measured one half inch. So I may need to water with another cup water, but I don't want to over water. 8" diameter pot x 8" deep but...

I did water bottom water this morning using rain water preheated in microwave to bring up to room temp. I have drain trays that my 8" diameter x 8" deep pots are sitting in. I filled each tray with 1 cup of water within 15 minutes the trays were dry. I will keep updating on leaf curl and...

I think it's getting time to water. Top 1" is dry. 1-1/2" down is little moist 8" diameter pot 8" deep should take about cup water I think. I will leave this open for suggestions.🤔
