I went outside and got distracted because I have the attention span of a gnat. I decided that I should put in the bed that I have been planning and it was so easy. I put down cardboard, wet in down, added a couple of inches of composted leaves, wet it down again. Then transplanted 2 yellow...

Could be. I would remove all the yellow leaves and spray with a mixture of 1 tbsp baking soda per 1 gallon of water. I would also fertilize it because that is a pretty good size tomato in a container and it will use up all the nutrients very quickly. Maybe mix a tsp of epsom salt into the...

Found this gal when I was getting some compost. Moved her into the greenhouse. Now I just have to wait to see what it is.

I am not crazy about the look either. It is beside the greenhouse so it doesn't just stand out as much

I am trying out straw bale gardening this year. Actually it is hay, they were out of straw at the local garden store. I have 8 bales broken into two beads about 4'x8'. I have conditioned them and transplanted some cucumbers in 4 of the bales. I am planning on putting in some eggplant also, but...

Wow that was a really good question. I hate the thought of frozen soil to 20 inches though. Brrrrrhhh.

It is what I used in my garden soil mix. I used peat moss, black kow and perlite. It seems to make a very nice growing medium. I used in my new beds and as a starting mix for my seeds.

My husband made me cages out of 4 ft fencing that work well in Ohio. The only problem with them is that for indeterminate varieties they aren't tall enough, but worked fairly well for roma's and similar determinate. Another problem with them is they limited air flow and encouraged blight and...

Does anyone know anything about armadillo's? I have never had to deal with them before and they are digging holes all over my yard on a weekly basis. Is there a spray or plant I can put in to deal with them?

Mint is also in the same family with oregano. I used to have free range chickens that kept my oregano mow off. I used to joke that I was pre-seasoning my eggs, They might mow any herbs they can reach blear off.

I have been working on beds and trying to plant in season that I've never planted before. It has been interesting but I think I am figuring it out.

OK thanks, the last time I planted garlic I lived in zone 5b. It is very different.

I am using Epsom salt in my garden this year. It is supposed to be great with tomatoes and peppers as well as onion. It improves flavor and helps them to green up.

This last video didn't load. Might need to reload it.

I have been working hard to get a great garden which has really been a struggle here in SE GA. I think I have finally figured out the problems. I put in raised beds to correct the soil problems but it still hasn't produced the results I was looking for. I decided to do a soil test to see what...

Well I am figuring out my garden soil problems but I think my garlic is getting ready for harvest. The leaves are turning brown but it is the first of May. Is this normal in southern climates?

Sorry Jack, I truly am. I am in GA now and it is great weather. My oldest son and daughter are still in Ohio and they are fed up with the cold as well. The summer is a lot hotter or hotter longer I guess. That is a challenge of it's own. So I guess everywhere has it's issues. Going out today...

Here in GA it is pretty nice and since I have a little more of my bearings I am trying to get a good garden this year. Last year was a disaster. I started with a raised bed and then dogs tore it up they tore up my greenhouse I had trouble with rabbits and on and on. Then the weather and soils...

I have looked at it but in Ohio our area didn't offer classes very often. I haven't checked here yet.

Hi all, it has been a while since I have been here. I love our new home here in GA but I am struggling with my garden. I am not sure what to do with the soil because it is sandy and poor nutrients. I have ants everywhere and there are a lot more snakes. Anyway I have a couple of raised beds...
