    What are you spring plans?

    Wow! You guys are all busy already! We have planted some tomatoes and corn. Every time we decide to plant more, a cold front moves through. This has really been an unusual Spring here in South Carolina. Normally the vegetables would be planted and half way to maturity. Hubby and I hope to be...

    What are you spring plans?

    A couple years ago I had sciatica and back problems so bad I was in a wheel chair for most of that Spring and Summer. I'm just getting to the point I can get down and dig in the dirt again and looking forward to it. I've just started cleaning up the past years of mess from weather and neglect. I...

    Hello to old members

    I contacted a few members from the past, I hope to see them all here again soon. I got so involved I contacted some that I thought were old members but seems they were from my sewing contacts..LOL. Maybe they also garden and will find the site useful and fun. :)

    What's the weather in your area? 2022 Edition

    70 degrees at 9:20 am. High for today is 76 with a chance of thunderstorms later today. Slight chance of severe storms. I hate these Spring storms, they can get pretty wild these days.

    Shiitake mushrooms

    It would be my luck that a bad stray mushroom would grow in there. There was a news article a week ago about dogs eating mushrooms that was growing in the yard and got sick. As much as I love mushrooms, I think I need to leave the growing to people like you that know which is what with them. :)

    Hello to old members

    I know, missing a few and it's bittersweet. Good to be back but missing those like Curbie, Mariposa, and Rosie. Not sure if the last 2 came here with us but they were the first I met in gardening forums and became close with. They will never be forgotten.

    Greens and Brassicas

    Good information! I didn't know the "tops" of radishes and beets were eaten! I'll have to try those.

    knockout roses

    I've moved and planted roses all during the summer and as long as I kept them watered well, had no problems. Good luck with yours.

    Mildew, rust, etc.

    I don't have much to add and this little tid bit probably won't help much with all your problems but it would be worth a try on some things. I had a problem with a mildew/mold type fungus on tomato plants and an elderly farmer suggested that I spray the plants with a mixture of 1 teaspoon of...

    tomato plants drying out??

    WOW...all purpose 34% NITROGEN!!! No wonder your plants looked burned. If you use fertilizer, 5% nitrogen is enough. It's usually labeled 5-10-10 which means 5% nitrogen, 10% phosphorus and 10% potasium. Fertilizer can be purchased with higher amounts of these ingredients but for tomatoes I've...

    tomato plants drying out??

    PS..are you using any type of fertilizer or going organic?

    tomato plants drying out??

    If you're watering the plants..do it only in the early morning or very late afternoon. If you water during the mid-day and while the sun is baking down, getting water on the leaves tends to burn leaves. If you're only planting a small garden, it's better to use a soaker hose.

    tomato plants drying out??

    It's not unusual for tomatoes to droop when transplanted. Are they in direct sun? How warm is it? If this is in a bed, you might try shading them a bit till they get over the shock. I break a bushy branch of some sort and stick in the ground beside the plant. If in a pot, move to an area where...

    Iris

    This is a long shot but my curiousity is in high gear..Irises bloom in early Spring so what if you dig up the bulb and fridgerate for a few weeks and replant. Do you think it would grow and bloom again?? Any thoughts anyone??

    Iris

    Spider, I'm so sorry about your Irises. I know how disappointed you must be. Mine are just now beginning to bloom, the white ones are always first to show off. I'll try and get some pics up soon.

    Plants taking too long to grow

    Okra requires very warm soil for growth. I'm your neighbor..in SC and find that planting okra around May works best for good growth. Still a little cool here for most plants although, we have transplanted a few tomato plants and so far they're doing good.
