Those things are really cool. They remind me of the gazing balls you see. Ive always harbored a secret love for them, although Lori thinks they are silly. Your totems and glass flowers are beauty.

Yeah you know how them pumpkins are. It looks like your garden doesn't know the meaning of the words 'mildew' or 'blight.'

I was gonna really try and make it inconspicuous, Ron. But I also wanted to keep it uncomplicated. What I did was google the quiz questions themselves. Next time Ill try something different.

Hey, that is really nice... and concise. Sweet!

Good answers, good questions. SO, as I make it, since you've moved to LA, you see less production - for living in near subtropic conditions, right? I'm guessing it is mostly about water and cultivar choice. Your soil isn't all that bad. Well, nothing that enrichment with organic matter and...

THE RESULTS ARE IN! The winner is....... drum roll please........ "Chills", aka, Holly from from Sacramento, CA She was the 4th respondent with all the correct answers. Interestingly, she had never PM'd before and was unsure if her message got through. Well, Holly, it certainly did -...

I built something similar. Mine is specifically recommended as a greenhouse OR chicken coop. SO yes, certainly "something" will grow in it if you do your part. What did you have in mind to grow? Some plants are bound to do better than others. The light is less intense in winter and obviously...

Steve's advice sounds pretty good. The entire spectrum is shifted up, so I'd avoid keying on one thing and look to dilute everything as Steve suggests. I'm wondering, though, why you are having this test done and by whom? The problem with something like this is once we have the results, we...

Unlike where I live in zone 8, the winter in zone 4 is a killing one. There are no garden vegetables I can think of that can be planted out of doors and withstand the hard freezes found way north. We're talking freezes that turn water to ice, and so destroy the tissues of the plants. The ground...

When you said 'gardening with bats,' I thought maybe your shovel had broken. Now I see what you meant...

You may wish to consider cutting back the long growing vine sections somewhat. The more you let the branches grow, the less energy the plant will devote to the fruit. Once the fruit does set and starts to gain size, those long tips will begin to suffer for nutrients, which are now devoted to...

Im not far from you here in SC and Ive noted that most melons give a big rush of fruit and a later few stragglers. So you are seeing what is normal. The latecomers never really get much going, though, usually coming in about half to two thirds as full as the first. It is a usual recommendation...

Hey thanks, that looks super........

LSU .pdf? Where dat is?...

:lau

Thats pretty much what I do, too. I made a wooden "poker downer" like yours, with a cross piece, so it wont get closer than an inch to the whirling blades. It works good for the small size, although it doesn't like large branches. My wife came out back recently and there I was, shredding up...

And I pee on my compost pile, which I'm sure applies to this topic, somehow... :lol:

Oh goody, another tomato variety to try! I gotta get some.... Do a google search they's plenny of 'um...

Aint it the truth. Im excited about collecting manure from my friends cows, so I can relate.

I tried the origami folded paper pots and found them to be way too fussy. I just use the roll-and-tape method, with one refinement: I use a piece of lumber sanded smooth as a mandril to wrap the newsprint. Mine is about 2" x 1.5" and was rescued from the scrap bin next to the saw. I sanded it...
