I got tired of not knowing what did good and when. In Florida and maybe Ga a bit the books don't realy help except for companion and rotating and such. But I have to adjust my growing patern to work for my area. Like Sept. is a great time for all my cool veggies. I keep a rough diagram of my...

What about that black weed preventer cloth? Or is that hardwear cloth? Just around the sides?

Hi Dennis I am in your area. Hint...plant heavy in Sept/October cool season veggies and the kids love sugar snap peas!

Hi from Orlando!! Just remember most of the books are oppisite from Florida growing. Unless it's a florida book lol. I love the fall planting. And if you have kids plant lots of sugar snap peas in containers where the kids play for a quick fun snack! I put my seeds in about Sept. October. Then...

Thank you I knew there was something about red ground coverings or something in one of my books. Will keep you posted.:D

I was looking for a bunch of cheap buckets that had no bad Chemicals in it. So my friend told me they sell them at the sub shop for $2.00. And they are red. How cool? So I have 10 and I have roma tomato plants and cukes in them so far. Behind them on the fence is 4 by 4 wire that I had DH run...

So it's the seeds in the fruit that are funny and not the fruit itself? Cool!

Those would be good for keeping cutworms and such out!! Good Job on everything! I had such a bad crop of tomato last year that I went and got 5 gallon buckets from Firehouse Subs for $2. They are from the pickles they use. They are red too. I just put a drip in each of them today. The only one...

Do those vine type plants cross pollinate? I read somewhere about a cuke and something polinating and getting a yucky fruit? I could be wrong though. Good luck. I will research and come back if I find it. But if the book says okay then go for it! BB Robin

I had cukes last year on a tomato vine I got 2 and then it died. Not sure why but this year I put up wire 4 by 4 squares across my fence and hope to have more. And have more spots for other vines and plants that need staking. Good luck. I wrapped my sugar snapo peas around and around a tomato...

I think I may have a nest in composter. Should I just leave it and mix as usual? Chickens having a field day eatting them. Is the too much dry you think? I put in a lot of coffee grounds from starbucks recently. Any ideas/ It maybe just that time of year. My hot composter is near my cold compost...

I am from Florida so thing are now coming to harvest. As I pull I put in my summer stock...I have carrots broccili, cabbage, sugar snaps all getting ready to harvest. Then I put in some squash by where carrots will be gone soon. And pole beans are climbing high. I started cukes but they died so...

We have a 8" and 16" raised bed. The 16" was filled with straw and compost and didn't even reach 8" but I plan on just filling it with compost as much as possible. I just put the 6" to rest due to no sun on that side of house this time of year and play in the other till spring. The 16" raised...

I agree we had a pool party and I had a potted 100 cherry that was doing really good. Then about a week later plopped on me. Looked like a blight or tabacco mosaic. Then the ones by the pool pump where hubby smokes had same thing. I just went out today<florida> and found a new tomato on a plant...

I looked at a tomato book that had a picture.........they were biege and had only front legs and the were fat and short...Wish I got a picture. I might get in the composter and look for more to feed the chickens and get rid of them....

A quick fix I have heard of is stringing christmas lights around plants. Just be careful of fire and all!!
