How did you find out you were over watering? Is it recovering? I have found both sides: over water/under watering as answers to the problem. It's horrible confusing. I don't know if I should stop watering or give more water...

I will research how much water a zucchini plant needs.

I do not see anything that fits this description, thankfully.

I am having trouble with my container zucchini plant. Treated it for nitrogen deficiency, gave it a bigger pot with new soil, and now it looks like this:

I pull of the bottom yellowing, unhealthy leaves that do not have flowers on them. I heard pruning away the non producing branches will help the tomato plant bare more fruit. I do not know if you need to do it.

yum blueberry vinegerett, homemade horseradish, mango salsa. Thanks for the amazing link!

I went to a canning workshop and won a canning pot! I told my neighbor about it and am going to show her how to can on Friday. Any ideas, suggestions, easy recipes, for a first time caner? I kind of want to make salsa, but I can find fresh local zucchini, tomato, onions, jalapenos for $1 a pound...

Oops I already planted two in the box. Interested to see what will happen. I may have waited to long...

An evening transplanting is in order!

It's an experiment. I have a community garden I could put some slips in. Do you guys worry about the roots mingling with other vegetables?

Yummy. Jam or whole? I found a blackberry paradise at the park and have been wanting to pick to can.

I built a box that is 2 feet deep and 14 inches wide for some sweet potato slips I sprouted. I do not have any experience with sweet potatoes and am wondering how many slips should I plant in a box that size? Thanks!

The size of the fruit is most likely due to the size of of the container 1/2 gallon and amount of water. I water about once a day for about 10 seconds. It does not rain in the summer where I live. Virgin soil. I may have over watered once. I do not think I've fertilized this plant. I've been...

Hello Everyone. I REALLY appreciate your replies. Sorry for the delay, I've been out of town. Dave2000, the pepper on the left was pointing upside down. The other hanging normally. So I am guessing the left pepper suffered from sun scald and the other from root end root. Both due to lack of...

Thanks for the replies. Gardening and my garden would not be the same without the you guys. I live in Chico, California, Zone 9 gardening. These come from container plants, so the plant may have drained all the calcium out. Maybe I should add more?? Like you said, maybe it is just the first...

These are two bell peppers that I recently picked from two separate plants. The pepper on the left had some liquid come out of the bottom when I squeezed it. When opened, which I was hesitant to do, there were no insects inside. What is wrong with them? Have you experienced this before? What am...

Oh no! They stick... Off to buy BT and fish emulsion to save my plants.

Agreed. There is probably a variety of insects feasting on my veggies. I have not seen any of those small little beetles. I did find a grasshopper and small green worms. There are also small black dots clustered on many leaves. I read that it might be the caterpillar droppings..Anyone have...

So, how do you guys treat the beetles/crickets organically?

Thank you for your replies. I have seen a grasshopper hopping around. I thought it was helpful, but when consulting with a friend found out pray mantis are the helpful insects I was thinking of. I will search for more insects in the garden to find out exactly what they are and find that pesky...
