Or Garden Masters. Other Ideas: Sprout Seedling In Bud In Bloom Gone to Seed

Wow, all the fruit looks perfect - which is so difficult with all the pests that love to nibble on luscious stuff like that! You've done a great job.

OaklandCityFarmer was too busy giving the rest of us advice on almost every thread on this forum. He/she is very knowledgable and writes well. (I see future Mod!)

I'm glad your mystery is solved. I learned something, because I thought powdery mildew only appeared on foliage. I've never seen it settle directly on woody material. When I saw the photo, I thought mealy bugs too, like Pat...

There is a ground-cover thyme that can withstand some traffic (not a lot though). It's fuzzy, not for eating, but still smells good and has a tiny white flower. It's called Woolly Thyme. I have ornamental grasses and daylilies on the side of my chicken run, but that's only because we built...

I would think you could start them now, even though I don't know if you live north or south. I'm in the north, and mine are just starting to grow roots under the soil (I had to check), and one or two have sent their pointed spears up. Go ahead, stick 'em in the ground (or pot, in my case).

Hey hey hey, this is a FAMILY forum. No breeding goin' on here!

Thanks, you guys, for your feedback and comments on hybrids vs. heirloom types. There's nothing like someone's personal experiences! You can't trust catalogs, that's for sure. It has been consistently warm enough these nights to warrant planting my warm-weather crops in the raised beds on...

Still waiting on my third attempt at sowing. One week has passed.... [taps toes impatiently] ! Bought two MORE packets of carrot seeds at lunchtime today. I'm going to get some sort of carrot out of that blasted dirt patch if it kills me!

Has anybody ever grown this? I got the seeds on a whim this year and have had successful germination indoors. Am wondering how much of the garden to devote to an unknown tomato.

Pat, as is your custom, you are always a source of good information. Your Richters quote sounds on the money. I suspected some systemic disease thing, and fusarium fits the bill. I did throw away the two recent failed pots (although it did go against my thrifty nature to throw away potting...

I've had this happen many times in the past few years. Perfectly healthy looking basil plants just all of a sudden developing a wilt. Not a "water me now" kind of wilt, a disease type wilt. It just happened this week to some "Pesto Perpetuo" basil plants that I hadn't even unpotted and put in...

I've seen it too but haven't used it. I imagine it would be good in Thai or Asian food?

I've only used regular drip irrigation systems from Dripworks, which I highly recommend. Hopefully someone else here will have knowledge of T-tape.

Scott, I think you had better change your screen name! (You're doing everything right, maybe you have some sort of bulb nematode...)

I don't know what a Sunshine Mimosa plant is, but it sure sounds like a great name for a cocktail!

My guess would be not enough sun, and/or infertile, poor soil...

I never knew that about sowing radishes next to carrots. My carrot seed packages say it takes 7 to 10 days for the sprouts to show. Or in my case, 2 years ! (pout, pout) Days-til-harvest time varies... Maybe I should take up bowling instead of gardening...

Territorial Seed Company is in the Pacific Northwest. They're very good, and they even offer a small catalog for cool weather gardening in addition to their giant summer seed catalog. Here's a link to their website: http://www.territorialseed.com/?gclid=CJSo8fu0uJMCFQyxGgodo0StDQ

Me too! Or I tried to blanch them and then freeze them. Not good. After thawing, they were limp and totally unappealing. Just eat 'em all when they're small. Remember all the starving children in France and eat your veggies when they're fresh!
