    Strawberry Question

    Hi Dan and welcome to GF. My strawberry plants have turned brown and there's not much left to even think there's a plant but they will send out new growth and produce again next Spring. I'm in the southeast, zone 8 and our winters are mild, no snow or frozen ground so my info may not apply to...

    Adenium Obesum seedlings

    Wow Ron, that was fast..if only they grew to maturity that fast. I didn't find any seeds on the one that bloomed for me..could have been because I didn't know where to look?? I need to look again with my glasses on.

    hogweed

    I've never heard of it, so I googled hogweed. I would agree, it seems to be a very dangerous plant. What I found was that it's a federally listed noxious weed. Its sap can cause severe skin and eye irritation, painful blistering, permanent scarring and blindness. Your brother is risking a lot...

    Recipe Canning Season

    I ordered my B-book from Amazon. I don't remember the price but it wasn't very much. You can find the older versions as well as new additions there and on ebay.

    What a deal?? Free animals

    You are so lucky!!! Free animals..how cool is that? I enjoy my chickens too Kya. They're good insect gitters and will clean out a flower bed a lot cleaner than I can! If I want a spot cleaned I'll take a hoe and hit a lick or two in that spot and when I come back it's all scratched and cleaned...

    Hi from Oklahoma

    Well Josh, I've learned more about Bamboo from you than from any other source! I didn't know much about it except that it makes for a great fabric for garments! The one thing I don't like about Bamboo fabric is that it grabs water and takes twice the time to dry. It's worth the extra drying time...

    Over Wintering Pond Plants

    Treva, I'd gladly give up all the water plants and fish for the return of a Hyacinth free pond. I could always restock and start over and with the things that's non-invasive. Thanks for the suggestion. I am going to look into it.

    Hi from Oklahoma

    That good that you don't have the mouse problem. I saw something on an educational channel about bamboo and the infestation of rats because of the attraction they have to the fruits. I googled to see if I could find an article on it..here's a link http://www.projectmaje.org/mautam.htm

    Over Wintering Pond Plants

    I've heard about the ducks and I'll do more research, it can't hurt. So you know it wasn't always this bad..here's a pic when we first added the Hyacinth. I liked my back yard and pond..now it's awful. I've moved most all the flowers because snakes will hide under them and I just don't care to...

    Over Wintering Pond Plants

    Sorry that this pic is so blurry, I'll remove it later. It's so humid here that my lens fogs up and I can't get a good pic right now. But here is a glimps of my problem. RJ and I have decided that as soon as possible, we'll hire the track-hoe man again and dig it out. Sure hate that cause we'll...

    Huge unknown spider ??

    I always find a few of the Orbs in my gardens in the latter part of the summer. I don't care for spiders so they bite the dust fast! We have the widows too, they like damp, dark places and its not unusual to find one under anything left lying on the ground very long..even watermelons in the...

    Fig

    Spider, I can't believe you're letting ALL the figs fall!! I love figs and finally got a small bush last year but it seems to be in shock, no growth and no fruit. I guess I need to pamper it till next year and maybe it'll liven up and produce. My Mom would make jam with figs that was real good...

    Over Wintering Pond Plants

    I have a hyacinth problem..Hubby and I had a pond dug a few years ago. I'm not talking the cute little gold fish pond..we dug a 35 ftX 65 ft pond! I wanted a natural pond with catfish, brem, bass and a load of ducks swimming around. RJ brought home a small bag of hyacinth from a friends pond and...

    Tomato & Cuke Plants

    It doesn't take much to pull tomato plants over and the tomatoes will be weight enough on the bush. We've grown cucs on a fence, it works good but as Kya said, I'd watch as the cucs develope, making sure they're not stuck growing inside a hole. A fence makes for easier finding and picking and...

    Hi from Oklahoma

    Wow Josh, we have a little something in common..I work at a sewing factory (Bamboosa) that sews garments made from bamboo fiber. We started off making mostly baby clothing but have expanded to yoga clothing now. The fabric is soooo soft, it's unbelievable. Then we have some garments made with a...

    Fall/Winter Garden

    If you're planting soon, you should do ok with those Kallie. I'm planting cucs and squash in the next few days and later in the early fall I'll plant mustards, turnips and collards. You have plenty of time for beets and radish, they grow fast. I think this is the only good thing about having hot...

    Feeding Watermelon plants

    I'm in the southeast and our sandy soil and weather has an effect too so 5-10-10 works well for us. We use this with all our veggies and have used 10-10-10 and that worked well too. We plant as much as 2 acres..more or less, just depends. Usually a half acre is melons. Good luck with yours Garry.
