I get that sometimes too... not with all of them, usually just 1 or 2 in my patch. I also have ants... but I also have a bunch of other bugs too. I've always thought it was a combo of pests. However, I have noticed there is usually a pincher bug (earwig) problem somewhere near the affected...

Malva Sylvestris 'Zebrina' I bought the seeds with only a close up picture of the flower, not realizing what shape the entire plant would grow into... We have weeds in this neighborhood that look almost identical (same family?) but never get more than a foot tall and certainly don't flower...

I think the biggest thing you need to worry about is planting an indeterminate tomato too close to another plant and having it run right over it... attack of the killer tomato! :lau I had serious control issues with a Black Prince tomato that was trying to strangle plants that were planted quite...

Has anyone ever grown a Dracaena Draco from seed before? This little guy sprouted up faster than the others in the next tray over. I had put him by himself with some caper seeds in the other cells. He surprised me by sprouting so fast and now I'm wondering at what point I should transplant...

I've been growing sage for a few years now... although I have a hotter climate than you I've notice that these plants are the hardiest when you let them do there own thing. I had one that I was growing in a pot that I thought that I had killed. I planted it in my herb bed with the other sages...

digitS'- Oh, I don't know what I'm doing with those leeks... truthfully, a gopher is eating a path right through my onion patch. I overwintered the onions so every one of them was precious to me. I'm pretty sure that whatever I plant there is going to become gopher food. So I planted leeks...

purple broccoli french leeks dragon carrots The seeds got here this afternoon and so of course I had to run out and plant them right away. That was today.... Oh, I almost forgot! My husband is out there right now. He is locked out of the house until he gets the Boone County corn in the...

It's just outside of my garden area... but it is starting to grow in my garden area... If it was normal weeds I probably wouldn't care as much... but I seem to get stung by this stuff at least once a day. Those sprouts just came up in one week. As far as roundup... I don't know if that's...

Has anyone ever fought off stinging nettle? As soon as I get rid of the first batch (pulling out and sometimes hula hoe - then throwing away) a million baby stinging nettles pop right up behind. I feel like I must be going about this the wrong way and helping it multiply somehow. :( This stuff...

The soap will work fine and is fairly safe for your plants. Last year spider mites completely wiped out me beans... I didn't know what was going on until the things were completely covered in tiny tiny spiderwebs. After trying several things to save the rest of my garden, the soap solution...

I bought Dollar Tree crook neck squash last year and was surprised to hear my husband point out that 2 of the plants were growing zuchinis! My guess is that the seeds had been cross pollinated... But I was soooo happy because I had wanted zuchini too! The plants put out squash like crazy...

Voyage - 3 Green Sausage - 2 San Marzano - 12 Martinos Roma - 10 Micro Tom - 3 Black Cherry - 5 Red Cherry - 5 Black From Tula - 5 Black Sea Man - 3 Cherokee Purple - 5 Goliath - 3 I went on vacation and accidentally killed my Schimmeig Stripped Hollow seedlings!:(

I found that a squirt bottle with warmish water is the best way to water until you get about an inch of growth... then switch over to bottom watering. Also, as strange as this sounds, you need to exercise your little plants so that they are strong and will harden off more easily. You can use...

Oh, the trick to getting the right thickness and to get it that tall is that you have to break off the leaves as it grows... I had another one make it to about 4 feet but was too thick and couldn't support itself properly before I figured out to break the leaves off. Thanks everyone for the...

I tried to insert a picture here... but this is the first time I've tried that, so if it doesn't come up sorry. I planted 50 more of these this spring and they are starting to come up. I don't know why I'm so obsessed with them so except that they kind of remind me of my polish chickens. I was...

I planted 5 jersey walking stick cabbage seeds last year... only one made it. It is now 7 feet tall and flowering! Does anyone know if they are self pollinating? I would love to save the seeds if they are, but there is not a lot of info on these things so I don't know. Anyone out there know?
