I'm sure you'll do fine. :) I'd send you a couple of seed potatoes if you don't think it's too late!

I too am waiting for a break in the cold/rain/snow flurries to plant my potatoes. I think I am zone 5B. We're the only county I know of that has 3 officizl USDA zones in it. lol I waited too long to get blue potatoes this year VFM. I could have gotten some but it would have cost over $10 for a...

Remove any dead canes BELOW ground level if possible to discourage disease. Then trim the tips on any canes that are growing to about 36". During the season you can trim the tips of the growing canes to encourage lateral growth.

We are expecting some flurries here too and I am not covering anything. If it gets really cold the tips of the iris may turn brown but they will be fine.

You should be ready any time now. Just make sure you dont have a long cold/wet spell coming when you plant.

No matter how many times I see them they are still a thrill for me. :)

Look into Bacillus thuringiensis (BT).

My step-son just sent me some seeds and one of them was the Mizuna greens. What are they like> I have never tried them...

AWESOME!

Our new renters! lol Lots of bluebirds and nuthatches around this year.

I have Russian banana fingerlings sitting here right now growing "eyes" and waiting for a break in the weather. This is my first year for these so I hope they are as great as you all say they are! My Yukon Golds and Pontiac Reds are sitting here too...<sigh>...more cold rain/snow showers in the...

Not a day to be in the garden here in Altoona today! That darn wind is awful and is supposed to continue till this evening. Looks like it's going to be cold/rainy here till Thursday so I am hoping to get potatoes out later this week....:fl

Oh BOO! That was bad! :lau

Lay them out in a single layer at room temp. and allow them to green up and sprout "eyes. Cut them up a couple of days before you want to plant them.

I've always been told you should move everything every year and don't replant in the same spot again for 3 years. That goes for any plants in the same families also. I won't lie and say I do that EVERY year. lol I never heard tomatoes were an exception to the rule either.

:welcome Glad to have you here!

Most sweet corn will produce 2 ears per stalk but you need to plant more than 2 stalks. Corn is wind pollinated and needs to be planted at LEAST 2 rows of 6 or so and even that is pressing your luck. I'd do at least 6 rows of 6 plants. Also corn doesn't really do well as transplants. It should...

I'm gonna' go with Penn Sate and hold mine for a couple weeks before I put them out. I'm afraid if I lose them I won't be able to get more in time for this year....call me chicken.

My first year trying celery too. Mine is about an inch tall right now. I guess we will all learn together. lol

I think I must miss the point with this upside down thing. If you are going to use a pot why not just plant it in the pot normally and allow it to trail over the side? :hu
