Nevermind, i looked it up on Google Pictures. Figured it out!!

After talking to my DH, who thinks I always over-complicate things, I have decided to try it on top of the mulch. It is really dry here, and I have to mulch it anyway. And this manure is all I have to use. I dont have much so it wont be thick on there. It is a first year garden and I am...

I have had my potatoes and jerusalem artichokes planted for about ten days, and I was wondering when I can expect to see sprouts, and what they will look like. Thanks!

I have my chicken manure mixed in with a LOT of straw, and I have some fresh and some about a month old. So, I know I cant put it in my garden. But, can I put it on top, not to close to the plants? I would put it under or on top of my sawdust mulch. I figure it would compost slowly, and it...

Ok. So, if I let the pellets completely dry out, (they are jiffy pellets) and then let them sit in the sun for several days, can I use them over again? I really hate to throw them away, but I dont want to just spread it.

I feel for you all!!!! I never minded the stuff till I started to garden. My dad HATES it when people plants morning glories, cause he says "thats a noxious weed!" He knows it is different, but he hates the sight of it! I just planted potatoes in our old drainage ditch, (to capture rain...

My seeds said 100 days. We easily have a 100 day growing season. Why would they not be ready till next spring?

It is windy and cool here today, but I am outsied anyway, trying to get a lot done. It is supposed to rain tomorrow and Saturday all day, so I want those little seedies in! I am doing peas, beets, Swiss chard, lettuce, bunching onions and carrots today. That is the goal, anyway! :D

Hmmm I read the title and I just had to say..................... WHAT A NICE PROBLEM TO HAVE!!!! :lol: I want daylilies SOOO bad, I love them. Right now we are spending all our gardening money on our vegetable garden. So I am dreaming... If any one wants to get rid of some, I would LOVE...

It really depends on whether you are going to be planting in the old row style, or the newer intensive style beds. It is really easy to go overboard with the intensive panting, as you fit so much in a small space. It also depends on what you will be growing. The first thing you need to do...

Thank you! I am sure it was because I over watered them. I am always afraid they are too dry. I will do what I read and let them get to the almost wilting stage first. Thanks guys!

So you are saying I could use a regular fixture to start my seedlings???? I dont have them under light because I dont have a flourescent fixture, but I have a lot of those CFLs, they are what we use! *thinking*

I am SO not good at starting seeds inside!! I have them in pellets, and about half of them are dying. I am keeping them inside till most of the seeds have sprouted and then moving them outside to the cold frame. I had them all out there, but they were taking forever to germinate. Anyway...

I am sorry I jsut now got back on here and looked again. I have been so busy with BYC I havnt been over here. Are you still interested??

I planted 50 strawberry crowns and about 50 garlic bulbs too, i diddnt count them all. I diddnt have anywhere to put them yet, so I hand dug two 4 x 12' beds about 10 inches deep. I planted the Garlic in between the strawberries, i read that they like each other, so heres hoping. I had to...

I would love to try it So far I have spent too much already on the garden, but maybe in a few months I can get one. I heard you can re-use the spores, something about after the mushrooms are gone, you take the spider-web looking stuff and put it in new dirt..... or something like that. I...

Hmmm the wire thing sounds promising also. With wire, rocks and a small fence, and a nice place somewhere else to lay, maybe I will break them of the habit...

Oh, and they just came in a plasitc bag, no directions. I soaked them in warm water for an hour or so.

I thought they were cheap anyway. :) I got them from Henry Fields or Gurneys, cant remember which. (Same thing, anyway..) I bought just over $50 worth of stuff from each, so it was half off with the coupon. I bought 195 pellets, for $24. So it would have been $12. So far I have only used...

Mine have been soaking while I dug the bed, and I am going out right now to plant them! Everyone of my kids is sleeping.... :weee
