I live in a zone 8/9 & we can grow grapes like crazy here. Wonder what the difference is for you? Anyhoo, melons like cantaloupe & honeydew would work, as would cukes, pole beans or sweet peas. That is if you are not looking at a one time planting.

We own 40 acres up inn the high desert of Az & we were at the local farmers market one day & I was asking all kids of questions as to what grows there & I was told everything but citrus(too cold in winter). Where our place is it is zone 7, so you should be able to grow anything where you are...

All my sprouts came up a yellow color too & have since turned green.

My brother had one & the wind whipped it to death. So hang them in an area where they will not get much wind.

Didn't read the whole thread but if no one posted the link yet www.starkbro.com has them for all different zones for less than $15 ea.

Very pretty!

Thinning out my seedlings this week as more than one came up in a few cups(I recycled our yogurt cups to start in). And getting my broccoli, cauliflower & cabbage started this week too(inside still).

I just dump them into my compost bin or the garden itself.

The worms eat the compost & poo them out which helps make better compost, along with the shedding of their skins too. And they also keep your compost looser in the pile so it can break down better. Any worm will work well for this, night crawlers, etc.

I live in a zone 8/9 area & I plant mine in mid to late Feb., after all danger of frost is supposedly past.

Obsessed, I grow it in the desert of Az & so far the plants have done great! The heat has not hurt them at all, I do have mine in a raised bed too. I have to water a lot anyway for everything else, so it does not make any difference. I use the straw from the nesting boxes to mulch with. We...

I look at gardening every yr as a experiment. Lets see what will work this yr, did what worked well last yr going to work again this yr?

I grow okra here in the desert & it is not sold here in the stores except for in the frozen section of some stores. This yr I got seeds for a charentais melon(never heard of it before) & we will see if it is any good, the package says they are sweet, thin skinned & fragile so they do not make...

Yesterday I planted watermelon, cantaloupe, jack o lantern & pie pumpkins & charentais melon seeds in starter pots. They will go in the ground in a couple of weeks most likely. Rebbetzin, they are either gophers or the desert prairie dogs & are a huge pain which ever they are!! I have to...

Even if plants are cool weather ones if the nights are still really cool it affects the growth too. Be patient as the nights warm up & you get more daylight they will do better.
