So what would you recommend? I live in zone 7 and it get gets really hot in the summer.

I haven't gotten any yet. I didn't know pintos were bush types.

I just built a chainlink fence around my yard. For privacy I was wondering if I could grow pinto beans on it? Would they be too heavy for the fence?

Sweet pics! I think i am for sure gonna do this. Thanks for all the advice!

Awesome! Thanks for the replies everyone!

I'm wanting to build a pond in my backyard, but looking at how much a fiberglass pond shell cost is making me think there is a cheaper way. I saw a plastic stock water tank at the feed store and I bet it would work. Has anyone ever tried this? I see some people use them for above ponds, but I...

That site greyduckgarlic is cool. The reason I'm so interested in growing garlic is because I started getting sick with a cold. Long story short I got over it really fast because I was taking raw garlic cloves like pills. I mean I started feeling lot better really fast! Usually when I get sick I...

Thanks for the replies! Very helpful advice. I think it's good for me to wait and plan. Around spring I usually start gardening on impulse and I usually make a big mess and have more plants than I need. So this year I've been planning early and getting everything ready before I start seeds. So...

I've been googling and can't get a straight answer! I live in north Tx in zone 7. What month do I plant garlic? Am I too late?

Thanks for the replies! I can't wait to try getting some seedling started. I've been thinking of getting some lights going for it instead of it being outside. I just don't know how many lumens I will need or anything. The heat here in the Texas panhandle will be my main enemy. It also changes...

I've never used a greenhouse to start seeds. I bought this 5ft tall, 27" wide, 19" deep greenhouse from tractor supply. Any advice on getting started? Pros, cons ect. I was thinking of keeping the doorway open during the day facing away from the sun. Any advice would be welcome. If you think the...

I just bought a small 4 tier green house from tractor supply. My shelves are 27" wide 19" deep. I'm going to make my own grow lights from an old alum vent pipe. How many bulbs per shelf you think? Could I get away with 1 bulb? I'm wanting to start seeds this year.

Ok I got it on! I had to work it around. I want to test it out. Maybe I can boil some water and see if it keeps pressure. I can't wait to start canning. This will be the first time. I have a book on canning and I may try a recipe soon. Ty for the replies. Mike

I bought a canning pot from a yard sell for 5.00. The old lady told me to put a new seal on it. I ordered one and got it today. I tried putting in on and it seems like the seal may be a little big. I know I ordered the right one. Any suggestions? It's a Presto 16 qt Model7-B Mike

Oh Man thanks Alot!!!! They are some awesome flowers. Ive been trying to find a site so I can buy some other colored one's. I really like these flowers though, cause I don't have to worry about them dying or turning brown if I forget to water them. They Love the heat. I may end up planting a...

Update on the stump. I guess that stuff does work. I was digging around the stump and I have a baby sledge. And when I get to a root I would hit it with it and it would shatter it. I can tell it has been rotting it out. But outside of the stump is still hard. I didn't get to water it down like I...
