That is a bad link!

I am so jealous of all the locations in the thread. It is making me home sick. My momma lives in Pasadena (I grew up in and around L.A. and east of it) and I adore San Diego, Vista and Oceanside. But I live in Louisiana. ok I am going to call my mamma now.

Ariel, what kind of zinnia like what size?

That could work but you would also have to use row cover to prevent any SVB from coming to your garden from your neigbors or such. Then I think you should be ok. I tried the BT but it was just too much work for me. I am slowly dawindaling (sp brain fart) down my corps to things which are easy...

You could try BT. You will need to inject the plant along the vine to kill the boerer. The bad part is that the SVB lays its eggs in the soil almost ensuring that next year you will the same issue. I didn't check your zone but maybe you can hope for a long hard freeze. I can't. I gave up on...

those greens sound tasty steve. I had a random broccoli plant last year that lived all winter. And I never could figure out what it was. Every time I went into the garden I would take a piece and taste it. It was sweet kind of not at all like collard greens but similar. It kind of looked...

Another thing I learn which I guess I should have known but didn't was that brocoli greens are edidable. I and a few plants last spring which failed to produce a head. So when the heat arrived I just pulled them and comoposted them. Now I know what I will do if that happens again.

So I went to a master gardener seminar last week and found out that the space between broccoli is related to head size. The guy said that 12 inches apart results in a 4 in head but 18 inches apart results in 10 inches. That would give me a pretty good idea of how i got such tiny heads. But...

I am getting attacked. These little suckers are completely decimating my garden. They are also attacking my butterfly weed. I need to spray somthing but it has been raining every day for a week now (and heavy heavy rain) so I can't really get out there. What are the chances for survival of...

I so sory for your loss. :hugs

I love coleus. There are so many colors and varieties. I really really want to grow some next year. But I do love hostas as well and I didn't see your zone but how about a nice hydreangea

I'll take the mixed bell peppers and offer watermelon - jubilee tomato - golden gem,sweet baby, jalapeno grey zuccini Thai long sweet pepper tomatillo romaneso brocoli brocoli - bonanza brussel sprouts thai hot yellow chili scarlet runner beans comos - pink white purple mix zebra mallow...

well I guess we shall see if they like the mild winters or if they need the cooling period.

I knew it was a Chinese something. I don't know how they originally got started but the grow wild in the ditches and everywhere else. And man can those seeds sprout. I have two that is ugly and one that was grown with enough space to spread out and it is a very pretty tree. Somethings I...

I don't know if they are controlling peoples mind. It is a common practice to support your company. For example, I worked as a sales representative for Pepsi. I could be fired at any point in time for getting "caught" drinking Coke, buying coke, photographed with coke memoriblia or products...

It is a chinese crested something. Very invasive in SE Louisiana. I have like three on my lot.

Funny story

I don't think it is a squirel cause the damage is perfect tiny circles that are bored (sp?) in to the cuke. I am going to do a search on cucumber beetle damage.

I tried to sow some swiss ch ard and beets but they just got burnt in the garden. I need another couple of weeks before I can start planting my toy choi

I bought a few hostas on sale at lowes for a buck. And then I researched them and found out that they need a winter dormancy period and are not usually grown past zone 7. Anyone grow hostas south of 7 and have them look nice big and pretty?
