    Anyone know where I can buy couple of seedless watermelon seed?

    Old post, I know. You need seeds of the "seedless" strain of watermelon BUT you also need at least one plant of a pollinator variety growing nearby. That is why a pack of seedless watermelons always contains 2 kinds of seeds.

    Help Identify this ornamental Cabbage! Please!

    Yup, kale. Easy to start from seed. Edible too (if homegrown) even tho it's usually called ornamental. Commercially grown ones might have systemic insecticides etc, so don't eat them.

    I think MSG is soy-based.

    Some help from you oceanside folk

    Have you tried installing a vent in one area and an exhaust fan in another, so you get a cross-draft? That might be all you need if the outside air is dry.

    Gardening in 2012

    My camera just went down last nite :( Didn't realize all the things I used it for. I think/hope it's just the card, hoping to know more later today or maybe it's time for a new one. Digital stuff doesn't last like it should, what a bummer.

    My hot and mild peppers are UP this morning. Put them under their light. One more week or so and I will start the tomatoes. Oh happy day! Pics will follow.

    Random Flower

    They had possibly already bloomed and were mowed to make the yard look good for the sale. Daffs are not planted by birds. From the size of the clumps, they have been there several years. They are easy to move tho. Just wait till bloom is finished (they generally bloom all at once and only once)...

    Guess I'll jump in over here too

    Mr Yan, I am with you on the suburban legend of the potato tower. Many times I have read that is great, but few pictures are presented. To me, the reason for hilling up potatoes is to cover the tubers since in swelling they crack the ground surface and let in sunlight. Seldom have I had to hill...

    Recipe Sprouts

    Is anyone making sprouts indoors for salad/stir-fry/ sandwiches? Just curious. This is the perfect time for them if you have the seeds. Later will be so busy with all the seed-starting for plants... What are your favorite kinds. I like alfalfa, broccoli and basil sprouts.

    New but old cook book

    My Mom had an old thick cookbook that we all learned to cook from. Here's a link to some REALLY old cookbooks, lots of them... http://digital.lib.msu.edu/projects/cookbooks/html/browse.html

    A GOOD corn dog is a real treat. A bad one like I got at the fair last year can make a body ill.

    Time for indoor plant starts?

    Oh yes Mark, 6-8 weeks is about right for most things except as noted, cukes and family. Yep, I used to get "label scramble" frequently till I started to use permanent marker on light-colored seedling pots. I hate when a beefsteak turns out to be a cherry tomato, too late then to do much about it.

    A few berries

    The Problem With Traditional Gardening

    I think it's odd that the expression "Traditional gardening" is used for chemical gardening when it has only been around half a century or so. Traditional gardens have been grown for thousands of years, really. Why call that aberration that uses so many by-products and chems tradition?

    a different point of view

    Whenever I see plants for sale at the stores, they are usually growing in a tiny cell of dirt, yet the top is 8 inches high or better. Especially with tomatoes, if you pop those out and plant them deep the stem sends out more roots and all is well in a little while. So... Since I am now old and...

    Water filters

    I have a friend that has arsenic in their water. Not sure of the level but the EPA site says it has to be below 10 pp billion. He says he gets letters from the utility warning about "high levels". So, my question to you all is, have you dealt with this and if so what filter did you use? Links to...

    A daily bird then?

    Nice photo. My local birds are so skittish they fly away when I open the door, much less get close enough for them to eat out of my hand. Kudos for your patience.

    I heard...there is a tribe somewhere that puts a hot dog in the planting hole with the corn seed. Or was that a fish? LOL. Oops, time to take my medication :)

    Grape Pruning questions assistance (pictures)

    The longer the vines, the smaller the fruit. But you're growing these vines more for shade than for high fruit production anyway right? Notice commercial grape fields the vines are less than 3 ft high in winter.
