I'd say that solves the identification issue...now just enjoy them while they are there!

Hasn't rained for weeks here until we decided to put up the new greenhouse...sigh. We got part of the frame up but we were getting soaked and my hands were freezing so we gave up. :(

Thanks Kellygirrl, I went and looked at these and they look great. I really want to get something....maybe 1 each of the Carmine and Hansen's to do a comparison. :)

I'd go ahead and put the new stuff on there. It will help that it out.

If you can plant your lettuce some place in a fairly shady area it will grow all summer. I had lettuce from May thru Nov. last year. Never bought a bit in all that time! We looked at gutter today and I am not convinced it's deep enough. I may try some just as an experiment though.... :)

Here is a list of things I found but be careful because a lot of things that kill aphids will kill the lady bugs too. I like the idea of squashing some and it scaring the rest off! Aphids: For aphid control we carry: 1600 X-Clude, Diatomaceous Earth, Garden Dust Insecticide/Fungicide, Ants...

Did you get rain today Kathyschix? It drizzled almost all day here in Altoona and rained all last night. We really needed it.

Oh, you are a sick sick person! :lol:

APHIDS! The lady bugs are good but that's a BAD infestation. A strong jet of water will help. Spray with a soap/oil mixture if the water alone doesn't do the job. Mix 1 tsp. insecticidal soap with 1/2 tsp. horticultural oil in 1 quart water in a spray bottle.

I was not familiar with this variety Green Thumb but when I checked it out it looks promising. Thank you.

We can always fire it back up any time we want to and if anyone wants anything special all they have to do is ask. :)

Who has more fun than we do???? :woot

That is AWESOME! Looks like something from National Geographic.

I have been saving all kinds of take out containers that have clear lids. Even the things the rotteiserie (sp) chickens come in from the store. Plastic salad containers...everything! lol I have quite a selection with seedlings in them now. I wait till they sprout and then vent the lid a little...

Pat, Is there more than 1 variety of Nanking or is it just the one? I thought I remembered someone talking about one that had a little larger fruit.

If you are going to a local nursery for the strawberries why not ask if they have some "Recycled" potting mix you might be able to get for free or cheap. You could mix it with your other dirt to "beef it up". lol Can't hurt to ask! That long pot looks like a great lettuce pot but not a great pea...

I asked DH to make mine 24".

Great minds think alike...My DH is out looking for 6" gutter. lol

First...I am no flower expert...that beingsaid, I don't see why it wouldn't be ok tp lant them now. Being in an inheated garage should be the same as being dormant in the ground.

Some where on here we discussed these...I was thinking about ordering some but it sounds like they are really only good for juice or jam. Too small to deal with for pies and stuff.
