I agree with BamaChicken 100%. I also live in good ol' Bammy, and I'd almost pay someone to eradicate the things from my property. They are a tremendous pain if they ever get a hold in a vegetable garden too. (Like they did in mine while I was away for a few months last year)

I find that a Q-Beam and a .22LR works pretty good... The only problem I have is not being able to shoot bloom end rot... :lol:

Yellowing would make me think 2 things... 1) Lack of nitrogen or 2) Over watering Peppers like good drainage. If they set in saturated soil a lot it isn't real good for them. They use a decent bit of water, but having too much water will also make the fruits of hot peppers be milder than...

I know these are about as rare as hen teeth, but I am trying to locate a used 11.2-28 4-ply (or more) tractor tire in the Mobile, AL area or anywhere in the areas north of mobile up to 150 miles north of Mobile, AL. :tools

Sad as it sounds, I am really not sure what zone I am in... I live about an hour north of Mobile Bay... When I plant the carrots, I build up a row, my grandmother calls them hills, but it is just a raised pile of dirt that runs the entire length of the row. When I sow, I scratch a trench in...

Depends on how rich the compost was and if you want more than one harvest. With my tomatos for example, I fertilize them when I set them out and let them grow for 6 to 8 weeks depending on rain, then I lightly refertilize every two weeks after that on a different side of each plant each time...

You didn't mention this before, ... One thing you want to consider is drainage if you have a pretty good yearly rain fall so it will not drown your plants or flow over and wash them out. A few holes in the bottom of the pool or in the sides very close to the bottom should be ok. (you probably...

I find that a .22 rifle works wonders for blackbirds... Of course who has time to watch a corn patch all day?? Oh yeah, I remember now,... I do! :D

It varies by the type of herb and the moisture content, but usually no more than a few days to a week.

You can container grow sweet potatos, but you will need a large container. Also as the plant vine grows I would add more soil around it to provide more area for new roots (and taters) to grow as the plant grows. I have grown red potatos in tire stacks quite well many times. I start with one...

It is definately not tobasco. I grow those every year and the leaves are different in the picture as well as the development of the blooms. Also tobasco friuts are very small and very light green when they first grow in on the plant... What it actually is.... In a case like this, I'd call it...

That is a good point... Plants that haven't been hardened off properly would struggle upon transplantaition....

Depending on how much time you have... Spread tarps over the area to cut off the light. Every thing will die under there (except crickets and such ;) ) if you leave it there long enough.

If you have loose leaves spread them out on a paper towel and put it on a shelf in a high cabinet. Try to keep it kinda dark, but leave it cracked a bit to try to keep as much airflow as possible as it helps the drying process. If the leaves are on the stem, then bunch the ends of the stems...

Even compost can be too hot for the plants... (by hot I mean too much nitrogen mainly) The only other things I have seen that curled my leaves was nematodes once, and another time I got some kind of bugs in the ground that fed on the roots of the plant and the leaves curled and it just seemed...

This is a blueberry bush so it is a perrenial. It is used for agricultural blueberry production, so it must make a lot of berries. Prune it every year and it will produce more berries! :)

I noticed several typos in my previous post... I am a reely good speler, jus not a vury gud tiper... :D

My carrots germinated with outdoor temps in the 50's. All I do is sow them directly into an open bed, (it helps if the soil is already most from prior rains or watering several hours before, but not wet) then I take my hoe and use the top flat side and simply tamp the seeds lightly into the...

I am new here an unfamiliar with your methods, but it sounds like over fertilization to me.

It's hard to tell without an idea of how long the pods are in the picture, but those look like a variety of hot bannana peppers I grew a few years back... can't quite remember the name of the variety they were though...
