    When can I pick my apples?

    My apples look just like yours. They make perfect baked treats. Oh, pick them when they stop growing. Thats how we do it.

    Urine as a liquid fertilizer....

    I read that human waste contains harmful bacteria to plants and composting micro-organizms. And...I don't think its right to store your own urine - ever. :sick

    watermelon failure

    Maybe you should try growing in a plastic container or in an old tire. Your seeds will love the warm soil and so will the roots. Also remember not to over-water and to keep in well drained soil. I'm sure you'll have success. Good luck!

    Cucumber leaves turned silver?

    My squash got those silver leaves once it started getting flowers. I thought it was a sign of maturity and production. I would just let them be. Have fun!

    To straw or not to straw, that is the question?

    Maybe you can use another type of mulch, like wood chips or shredded paper.

    Fallen over zuchhini plants?

    Give them time. If they don't pop back up, you can tie them to a dowel. Thats what I had to do with my squash.

    What type of trellis for cucumbers?

    I'm letting mine climb up our wire garden fence. But they'll have to work to get there (they're planted a foot from the fence).

    SO wilty! Do our vegetables need more water or something else?

    My entire garden goes through this every single day. If I don't water within an hour of them wilting, they fall over. I had to tie my squash to a dowel stuck in the ground so that the stem won't brake or injure itself. :rolleyes:

    My garden isn't growing like everyone else's here - fertilizer?

    My garden sometimes goes throught those tough phases too. It's usually a change in weather and everything kicks back in in a couple f weeks. Do you have a plant whoes roots are dominating other plants? Sometimes that can also be the case.

    Partial Shade Crops?

    I have a bunch of Full-sun plants that only get little sun each day. They always do fine. My squash gets only about 4-6 hours of direct sun each day, and it's looking like a champ!

    Pea plants are good for how long?

    I always let my peas in the soil after they die for a few days as their roots let out nitrogen wich is good for the soil. I do the same with my beans.

    That is a truly stunning garden! :rainbow-sun Great job! Its funny when you think of how many memories a garden can hold. My mom has an herb garden that has lots of mint. This mint was always special to her. She had brought it from Nogales, her home town in Mexico, and has had it for over...

    Three Sisters Garden

    My squash plants are large now, but my corn is 3-6 inches tall. When the corn is larger, I'll sow the beans. I'll have to snap some pics of how the two siblings are doing, pretty soon they'll have a little sister and they'll turn into a three sisters garden! :plbb
