Definitely Creeping Charlie,I battled it for 3 Years before I finally got rid of it

Wow! that is quite a yield.Unfortunately my Vegetable plot is not that big and no room to expand so I only grow things I can definitely use and the Potato patch is as big as I can make it. I am also growing organically,so when I cut the Seed Potatoes I let them callous over before planting,I...

My 2 granddaughters can't wait to "help me" in the Garden:rolleyes:I am planning on putting in a larger Potato Patch this Year.I noticed that you plant your seed Potatoes whole, I have always chopped mine so that each piece has a couple of Eyes. My Dad was English and that's the way He always...

:( The Earwigs are out in full force,Leaves are being chomped to bits. I am going to try Neem Oil to see if that will stop them.Fingers crossed it works.

Mine are doing great in S.W Ontario :) but the Weather has been really hot for the past few Days,how does Celery fare in Heat.? I have 4 Plants going from this method, I hope they all make it.

:D Got all my Dahlias planted.today. I pre sprouted them and they got quite large so I bit the Bullet. The Weather forecast is great from here on ,so I think they will do really well.I can't wait to see those beautiful Blooms again,unfortunately neither can the Earwigs.:/

I have a quick question about planting the Celery after it has sprouted.Are there any Roots at this point,or do the Roots form after they are planted in the Ground?

: good thing I listened to the advice on this Forum re weather, back down to cool Temps here in S.W.Ontario :(

I was thinking the same thing. Now I have everyone I know keeping all their old Celery:)

I worked very hard Today and extended and widened my Veggie Patch,so it looks as though I might manage to rotate after all,if I have enough energy that is. We had 20% Temps Today,most unusual for Ontario at this time of Year. Thanks for the suggestions though.

Thanks for the confirmation.My Veggie Patch is not very big and I was hoping I could get another crop from the same location,but your explanations as to why not makes a lot of sense.

I have a Newish Vegetable Garden,planted for the 1st time last Year. A large area was used for planting Potatoes.My question is, do I have to rotate my Vegetables this Year? My Potatoes were fabulous last Year and I don't want to take any chances if I should be planting them in a different...

:( so far my Celery Seeds have done nothing, so I am excited to try this method,Fingers crossed it works for Me

oooh what a great idea, I sure am going .to try it

:)Thanks Rusty,do you have a catalogue or something where I can see what you have for sale?The weather here in Ontario was 16% yesterday and just beautiful,sure makes my planting fingers itchy,but I know it's waaaay too early.

I have this Dahlia and it is a beauty.I am very bad at labeling my Dahlias so I have to wait to see which ones I have have :rolleyes. I have moved House and my Garden is quite a bit smaller than before. I get a lot more Sun now,so I am looking foward to getting more Dahlias.Rusty do you have...

The inverted Coffee Can idea sounds great,I think I am going to give that one a try.Unfortunately I don't have any Chickens,but I am sure I will find a way to dispose of the pesky critters,they are such horrible looking things, YUK!

Haven't been on here for a while,but have a question for Rusty.First of all your Dahlia's are absolutely stunning,you've got me all fired up to get more. I pulled my Dahlias from storage and they are all looking very good,no rot or dried up Tubers. Should I start them in Pots now in zone 5...

WOW!! Your Lilies are beautiful.My favourite Flower by far. I moved House and thought I would add some lilies to my Garden this Year. So far so good although I did find a few Lily Beetles early on.I picked them off and have been treating the Plants with Neem Oil. So far so good, I haven't seen...
