I’ve tried growing eggplant about 3 years in a row now but every single year I lose them to flea beetles. Is there anything I can do other than keeping them under high tunnels all summer? Last year the flea beetles were so bad that the plants were completely destroyed in less than 48 hours after...

This years garden will be much smaller than last years. The annual vegetable patch should only be about 30x25 compared to last year which was something like 50x200. This is for two reasons #1 I will have less time this spring. Work and school will likely take up a lot more time than last...

Baymule mentioning cougars made me think about this. Supposedly we haven’t had a confirmed cougar siting in the state since the 1960s. However, there are many unconfirmed sitings. Tennessee has had several over the past few years that were confirmed. The fish and wildlife department claimed...

Keep getting this error when I try to open it

I have a pumpkin that is just about ready to pick but we may be getting a bunch of rain tomorrow on already saturated soil. Does anyone know if they split like watermelons or am I worried for no reason.

The neighbors here started setting off fireworks last weekend and will probably start up again tonight or tomorrow depending on weather and will probably set them off for a few more weekends. New Years is often worse since people are off for work for longer. Some start setting off fireworks a...

I’m having a problem with worms in my plums and I want to spray the fruits that don’t already have any. What do I need to use?

It’s a tree the tallest are around 15-20 foot range. I think it produces some kind of berries near the top of the tree but it hasn’t bloomed yet this year. I’ll try to get some better pictures when I go back out later.

So last fall I collected some pecans from a pecan tree on my grandparents property. Some I planted in pots outside but those didn’t make do to something digging in my pots. But I put the rest in the freezer. Can I pull out the ones in the freezer and sprout them? It’s a pretty big deal to me...

I’ve noticed this for years. Green grapes are always twice the price of the red ones at the store. I’ve tried google but haven’t been able to find out why. It’s frustrating because I prefer green grapes but not enough to constantly pay twice as much for them.

Found it growing in a blackberry thicket on the edge of a clearing in the pine trees. Seems to be a small tree or tall shrub the tallest was around 10-15ft. Fruit contains a pit. The last photo includes an caterpillar that was eating the immature fruit. I’m assuming it’s a native.

Normally I don’t bother with this since I plant everything in blocks Tomatoes, cucumbers, squash and I just go down the rows until it’s all planted. This year I’m doing rows though so I need to know how many rows I’ll need.

I’ve tried several kinds of fencing to keep out the local rabbit population. I feel like I should have given up after one found a way around chicken wire buried at foot deep and 4 tall and decided to raise babies in the garden. This year I ddI an experiment and planted some in the fence and some...

I set 33 eggs! This will be my first time incubating anything. I’m excited but nervous. I don’t think I’ll calm down until I candle in 8 days. Honestly I’ll probably be a wreck until they are all 4 weeks old lol.

I’m curious about growing peanuts and was wondering if anyone on her grows them.

Decided to make a thread for my garden. I’d been debating on it since I joined a few months ago but decided to try. Last years garden was in a 100x100 bed(field?) in front of the house. We used most of the space. This year we are planning on expanding in several ways. We are turning part of the...

I’m looking at purchasing a small relatively cheap greenhouse. Most likely with plastic sides. 10x10 or smaller But I need a way to heat it. I’ll need to keep it 60-70 degrees. Could I use one of the heat lamps I used for my chicks to keep it warm at night? I’m starting my transplants in it so...
