Sure you can plant blueberries in containers. :) I would not reccomend the standard type but the dwarf plants make great container plants. In fact that's why I think they came up with the dwarf type. I would probably reccomend the large larger containers if you want to get the most out of yours...

Has anyone ever grown one of these? I bought one today and I heard it was suppose to be hardy. It is a "bushier" type of rose.

I have always grown mine on the ground but I am considering growing them on something because I have heard it is easier this way. Does anyone else have an opinion on this?

No, there doing great. I spread the rotted manure around them just enough so that it was not touching them. Then I put some light mulch over the manure and watered them real good. They are starting to take of now and the manure and mulch is helping keep the mosture in.

My problem is moles. They tear up the yard as well as the flower bed. Ground traps don't work so I just have to let the little rodents tear up the yard.

A man that I know has a nice size compost pile and he had two peach trees come up in it last year. They are growing nicely now and he planted them in the yard. Do you think they will ever get peaches on them?

How well does lettuce like manure? I put some around my 2-3 week old plants today. Do you think it will hurt them? This is well rotted manure, 5-6 yrs old.

So what do you have to do to get a license to sell the stuff at a farmers market? To advertise your stuff as organic or all natural do you need to get a license? Also, how many tomatoe plants do you normally plant for a farmers market? Currently we have 100 in the ground but will probably have...

This year I planted LOTS of tamatoe plants and am going to have a handfull of tomatoes. Does anyone have any marketing ideas. I'm not looking to make lots of money of them but I would like to make some. How do you think they would do priced like 4 for $1 or 5 for $1 at a farmers market? I have...

register again.

I have always read that just plain staking works the best. You have less bushy tomatoe plants. The farm that I work at uses just a stake for each plant and they ship loads of tomatoes out (wholesale and retail) every year. It seems to work well and is more time saving. JMO

Almost look's like a pepper plant. lol

Is there anything else you can spray your plants with to prevent other problems? I'm trying to learn more about this myself.

Thanks for the advice. Maybey I can try both:) Another thing I like about annuals is that I think it is fun panting them every year whether it's work or not. It's fun to try different kinds every year. Of couse it's probably fun to plant perennials also. Annuals are also nice when you are...

Thanks, I guess I'm just more of annual person. What are some good shade perennials though? I guess I just have always thought of perennials as a lot of work. But maybe they are not. I am just doing a smaller garden in the shade. Thanks for the advice.

Thanks, I germinate our pants in our basement and had a really good germination rate. Almost 100%. The temp is around 65 degrees and I put plastic covers over the flats until they germinate. This was the first time I started my seeds instead of buying them and a wasted a whole flat of plants...

Is there anything that will grow in just morning sun and a lot of afternoon shade besides impatient?

Thanks for the tips. The reason I planted extra is because We do have a huge garden and I could sell the extras quite easy.

This is my first year growing it and I am not real sure about it. I have 100 plants to put in the ground. Do they require a whole lot of water and would it be a good idea to mulch straw around them? Also I was putting them in a area that get sun until till about 2:00. Does this sound OK?

It is suppose to be in the 60's to 70's so they hopefully should be good to go. The soil was already pretty nice soil before I fertilized it so that should be good also. Thanks for the advice.
