For what it is worth we had a raised bed when I was going up that contained our strawberry plants. I can remember many many many strawberry pie, shortcakes, and fresh cut on ice cream growing up. Still here, Still kicking. Heck I can remember getting in trouble for sitting in the middle of...
They are a honeysuckle but not actually the honeysuckle (which is what I thought you asked). I have read several things about them but I was looking for someone that actually has dealt with them to see what kind of first hand info there is out there.
I have started the madness

Pod peas

cabb
brussel sprouts
indian corn
sweet 100 cherry in hanging pots
onions

forgot the...
These are not honeysuckle. They are a berry that looks like a blueberry that has been stretched to be long. They grow in bushes like a blueberry does as well.
Ducks - Grandpa always says that if there is a bit of a frost all you need to do is wait 4-5 days and the poison that backed out of the leaves into the stems will go back where it came from.
If you have room, here is a quick fix that will heat a 12x18 (mine) for a cold night that is scareing you.
Get a metal coffee can in the 1lb size. Tear off any labels (dont disguard the lid). Get a full roll of toilet paper (thicker plusher is better). Pull out the cardboard roll in the...
Any one ever grow a honey berry? I just planted 6 of them (along with boysenberries) and was wondering if anyone has good luck with them or what they use them for or how much to expect out of a bush?
I am not buying into that stock just yet. I had frost twice last week so I might hold just a bit more (but it is killing me :barnie) I have about 90 plants to set out so I am not up for waiting much longer.
Got a grease gun or a can of WD-40? Shoot it in the hole that they are "drilling" in (I suppose you can make sure it is empty first) but they will not come back to it to work more and it is harmless to everything else.
I want to start making the diced tomatoes with basil and oregano they you can get in the store.
Also thought about trying to make rotel - tomatoes and chilies
They jus wilted down like they were dead . I put them on the covered deck next to the house hoping they will recover. I wont get rid of them until they are brown.
On an up note I did take 6-8 brussel sprout plants straight from the float tray and put them in the ground and they seem to be...
I am such a freakin idiot. I re potted all the well developed plants. Better Boys, San Marzono, Sweet 100 Cherry, and peppers. They have been in the hot room with a fan a heater and a grow light. I thought this would be a good time to start hardening them a little as well. I figured I would...
A "float" bed is a styrofoam tray that is used to grow tobacco plants. Mine have 1x1 inch squares that you fill with potting soil and place one seed in. Then you "float" them in a slightly larger tray filled with water. There in about an 1/8 inch hole in the bottom of the tray to soak up...
