I think it would grow fine. One advantage to growing in containers is you can give those plants some extra TLC. Maybe some judicious pruning to just try and get only one or maybe two pumpkins per vine and they might do even better. Wishing you and the crumb cruncher gardeners the best of luck! :)

Just a wild guess, but I wonder if it is maybe something in the Dianthus family? :idunno

One easy one pot meal with sweet potatos we enjoy is cabbage, onion, sweet potato and sausage, maybe with a bit of chicken broth. I have been known to add to it depending on my mood that day...maybe some egg noodles, leftover rice... a variation on haluska. One that I never thought would be any...

You need to give plants a certain amount of darkness as well. Depending on the type of plant and what stage of growth it is at will help you determine how long the light/dark cycle should be. :)

1)Watermelons and pumpkins don't cross. 2)One problem with planting corn is it won't stop the bees (pollinators) and the deer may end up trampling or eating the pumpkins.

It's impossible to say for sure, but did you maybe overfill the jars? That could possibly lead to both liquid loss and breakage.

I am so sorry for your family's loss Boggy. May all of you find the strength and healing to help you cope with this tragedy.

Since we have been talking about growing pumpkins I think we need this guy to join our forum and tell us how it's done. Broken link. See edit below. http://www.myfoxtwincities.com/dpp/news/minnesota/world's-largest-pumpkin-in-stillwater-oct-9-2010 :th :bow ETA: Sorry about the broken link...

The female flowers will have a tiny little pumpkin (the same goes for squashes, cucumbers, melons...). The male flowers are much more abundant and are the first to appear. This seemed a rather poor year for me on both squash and pumpkins as the yield was wayyyy down from last year. Why? Your...

Hi wiswash and :welcome What kinds of weeds are you having the most problems with? annual or perennial? I would probably get out there with a hoe or spade fork and try and remove as many weeds as I could before covering with the mulch this fall. If you own a tiller I might even go ahead and...

The chicken dropping would be considered a "green" as it is high in nitrogen. Greens= nitrogen, browns= carbon in terms of compost lingo. :)

I say go ahead and add the compost now, your garlic will benefit from it. Plus you can add the compost over the whole bed or just where you want it now. The rice straw I would use to start a new compost pile as I think it breaks down slower than other straw mulches. That's my 2 cents worth! :)

Very good tips about what not to do journey. Thank you! :)

I don't think it is too late. As a matter of fact I am working on getting my garlic in today. You may be a couple weeks later than optimal for your area, but I think they will be fine. :)

Well, believe it or not, there are actually sites on the web that will pay you to join forums and post with a particular sig line. It is designed to generate traffic to the destination site.

Well let me see if I can make sense here. Technically you can transplant anytime. The problem (IMO) is temperature extremes and shock. What I look for is moderate temperatures and moderate differences in highs and lows. Rules of thumb are good starting points, but you need to take into account...

Let it go dormant like silkiechicken said. Late fall or early spring are good times to try and transplant. Personally I always prefer late fall as we tend to have wet winters and so not a whole lot of watering. Just keep it watered for several weeks after you move it so the roots don't dry out...

I am totally unfamiliar with winter conditions in your area, but one problem with almost all container grown plants is that they tend to be more susceptible to root damage from freezing because the roots will grow around the edges of the container they are grown in. Containers just don't have...

I would say it's a long shot gamble at best as to whether or not the trees you may get will produce a quality fruit. Most likely they are from grafted trees and as such will not come true to the fruit produced from the parent ( might not anyway even if they aren't.) But if you have plenty of...
