I'm still watching this film (amid several interruptions), and I can't believe that I've buried my head in the sand for these past years. This movie could have been based on my paper. I really did have it figured out back then, but the adults that I shared it with did not share my concern. I was...

Hahaha! that might just be the ticket! I will definately give that a shot!:lol:

That's bizarre. I logged out but I can still see the paper, but for some reason I can't download them:(. Anyways, I've transferred the paper to my photobucket account so you can read it you want. Page1 Page2 Page3 Page4 Page5 Page6 better graph of population Out curiosity, is it...

I will look into getting some sunflowers, that's a good idea. Maybe will get her more interested. The thing is, she's a "prissy" girl and I don't know if she is ever going to warm up to the idea of getting dirt on her hands. It's pretty extreme too, like she won't walk across the grass in...

Ok, I just sat down and started watching Prophets of Doom here . I get 5 minutes into it, and I must pause and come back here to show you something. It's a paper I wrote in High School, and I've uploaded it to another forum, here . Pretty much sums up the first 5 min of the movie. ok, well...

I had been wanting to start a garden for a long time, but been procrastinating because of time constraints, the fact that I don't know what I'm doing, lack of space, and several more excuses. It wasn't until my 6 y/o daughter came to me and said "I want to make a garden! Daddy, can we make a...

Me, my wife, and our 2 daughters:

I've just now heard of blossom end rot, from this thread. I will be sure to watch out for it. I'm curious though, how do large scale farms combat the issue? I doubt they go bury fish heads, epsom salts, and eggshells all across hundreds of acres of farmland. I suppose they probably use some...

I didn't know that gardening was so ...what's the word... marvelous, in the literal sense that I marvel at the cycle. I had never planted a seed before 2 months ago. When I planted my seeds, I didn't know what I was getting into. Then when they started actually growing out of the ground, I think...

I'm pretty sure I've eaten horse before. I was on a boat that stopped in Panama and picked up some "steaks." They looked awesome; about an inch thick and big enough to fill a plate. They didn't smell quite right while cooking, and while I was eating it, I the flavor made me think I must be...

Sounds good, will do. Yes that's right. Around the bases there used to be lots of lush green leaves so that you couldn't even see into the pot. Out around the ends though, the leaves still look healthy. I'l inspect real close and see if I can find any little bugs there. Ok cool. Thank you for...

yes, I reached 10 last night but didn't have time to post the pics. So, without further ado... Here's the planter we made. it has holes in the bottom to allow water to drain. it, as well as my plastic planters, is full of potting soil only. the above picture is from 5/27/12. all the seeds...

I don't know because I've never successfully grown a single tomato, but a guy from my electronics forum was encouraging me to grow some Tasti-lee tomatoes. he said they were the best ever. I never tasted them.

For some reason I can see whoever is doing the voiceover, sitting in a dimly lit small room with his shoes off, and making wisecracks between recordings about "how awesome the tomato man is" and complaining about the fact that the only reason he isn't a radio personality is because the local...

Oh good, well that's good to know. Other forums I'm a member of are mostly electronics/engineering forums, and they're a more rigid bunch. They discourage "off topic" posts in threads, some to the point where if you aren't spouting technical jargon then they direct you to the forum corner...

Well I find myself at an impasse. I really want to get some knowledgeable eyes on my plants and my setup so that potential failures might be pointed out, but I need 10 posts to include pics. If I were to comment on anybody else's threads, it would only be non value added comments as I'm a total...

Yes I fully expect it to be. This small "garden-ish" thing is just a little chance to learn from failure before investing time and money in a big garden. I am anticipating moving to a small acreage, possibly over this winter, and I want to try to grow as much of my own food there as possible.

The beans are actually going to be a bit of a surprise. I don't know whether to expect something like a green bean or a pinto bean. The packet just said "garden beans" and I've never heard any beans called that before. I'll taste one and see. Looks like green beans, but I suspect that pinto...

each day about 2pm I give about 2 gal of stored rain water to the watermelons, 1 gal to the tomatoes, and 2 gal to the 4ft planter with beans, cilantro, bell peppers, and jalapenos. Does that seem like enough water? I actually think it might be too much, but I figure it's ok since it can drain...

Oh! Very good to know! I had plans to hack down half of my big shade tree to have room for a bigger garden next year. I guess I might just need to move all these guys under that very tree. Yes, I remember now, reading the seed packet it said to plant it early, but I went ahead and planted it...
