Due to increased activity of the MMMM Swap topic(s), members looking for information about the upcoming swap can now find that in one dedicated area. If there is a question...
So, I've read that doing foliar sprays with various acids can increase salt tolerance. I'm guessing that refers to the salt index. I just got the idea that maybe you could...
I went today to a local Lidl store, because I heard that they have now the Adora tomatoes. I do not buy a lot of tomatoes during winter and usually buy the local greenhouse...
Short PSA: I ordered this harvesting apron from Amazon two weeks ago and I really like it! It's inexpensive and a serious upgrade for me from previous years. The build...
Lilacs mean Spring, Peonies mean Summer, but there (IMO) ain't nothing that fills a garden, or a home, with an intoxicating fragrance quite like that of Oriental Lilies.
According to this article, it's going to be hot and a bad year to grow Brandywine's as well as many other tomatoes. A quick flip from El Niño to La Niña is coming soon and...
Yesterday, I was planting seeds to fill in the spots among my bean pole teepees, where prior seeds did not germinate. I was concentrating on the task at hand. After planting...
Hi all! I meant to do this last year and had the opportunity early in our trip this year. These are fully grown tomato plants in Jordan. These particular ones have some...

I have been assuming, perhaps incorrectly, that bone meal was high in not only phosphorus but also calcium. My Vigoro brand 3-18-0 bone meal pellets have no mention of...
The problem with growing vining things in buckets comes when they spill over the sides. Many times that can cause the vines to crease really hard where they bend over the...
Every once in a while, one of our planting holes seems to completely change its soil texture from a tough-to-dig clay loam into a very friable sandy soil that dries out...

Broke out the old tiller and got it ready to break up some new ground. I took off the tiller blades and broke out the 4inch grinder and got to work. Took about 20 minutes to...
