I burned a few tomato plants with bunny poop. New leaves were born yellow, and dried up and died. then the plant took to growing normal again. i think what happened was that there may have been bunny pee on the bunny poo. At any rate, i have taken to grinding my bunny pellets down into fine...

I culled a plant a couple of days ago. the flowers shriveled and died on one side without producing fruit, the other side has two lil tomatoes, who are only slightly bigger than cherry tomatoes. and dont seem to be growing very much or very fast. I am optimistic though that one plant will grow...

my garden is suffering something horrible. I went down the local Extension Office and found out that half of the things I have planted are "out of season". Since we have no frost, and 4 perfectly good growing seasons in which the only things that change are the amount of daylight, rainfall...

if your harvest is healthy and attractive, weigh um out, bag um up and try selling them off to local restaurants and cafeterias. Don't bother with any corporate chain. Also mom and pop grocers might be willing to by a few lbs. No sense in not making a little cash.

Its starts off with grayish splotches on the plants leaves, which eventually consumes the whole leaf. The leaf then turns yellow and dies. My best efforts to contain this sickness, has been regular and vigorous trimming and careful disposal of any infected leaves and entire branches in some...

i'll look into this bittermelon.

has anyone tried this? I made on earlier, with a bit of honey, a splash of milk, a medium sized cucumber, and two very small, very ripe bananas. Oh yeah, i added like two table spoons of oatmeal to improve consistency. yeah, I'm a guy. no, I'm not gay. At any rate, its not for me, well, I'll...

I like to use the tools at www.cooltext.com to help design logos for the various projects i've worked on. But I'm an amateur.

Both of the tomato plants that I put in the same single gallon have flowered, and one already has two tomatoes. However the flowers and fruit have both developed considerably smaller than the same variety grown on the ground. I put one of those fertilizer sticks for houseplants in the soil, and...

I've been thinking about getting a tiller lately myself. the suns got a way of turning the soil here into bedrock, I often have to create mud puddles in order to dig past the top 2-3 inches. Prepping beds would be much easier with an engine and some blades. But then what isn't easier with an...

I've started harvesting green bell peppers and the burpless cucumbers. I did not know that cucumbers would develop so fast. It took about a week and a half from the first female flower to the first fullsized fruit! Since them i've harvested 6 more! Funny thing is, i never enjoyed cukes in salad...

more information is needed to determine this. I have a two foot plant, that is about a year old. its growth has been stunted by the rocky soil and excessive wind of the location i chose for it. The others i planted at the same time but in more hospitable conditions are 12 tall and should be...

will it produce fruit afterword or should I try and snag whatever seed its gonna produce?

I took the stalk of a store bought head of cabbage and put it in a dish. It started growing leaves so I put it in a pot full of soil. Leaves began to originate from 5 different areas on this one stalk, so I cut it into 5 pieces and planted 4 in the ground and one remained in a 3 gallon pot...

LOL I love how they say you have to cook it properly,as if peeling it and boiling it was some kind of mad science experiment, or delicate procedure.

acorn squash, butternut squash and broccoli were transplanted out into the field today.

my mango trees are decades old and 30 feet or taller. I love them. Next month the fruit should be maturing to the point that i can start to enjoy them. Its not my experience that mangoes are hard to germinate. They tend to do it all on their own here. Whatever fallen fruit is collected and...

Good to know for next year. this year however, i get to go crazy because most of the land has not been planted in many years.
