    Couldnt wait any longer

    I know what you mean. I satisfy myself with some microgreens grown in my window until I can plant.

    Is this going to be for a garden plot or a container?

    Plant Care

    Sounds like your doing great with your garden. I like to mulch around the plants as well. It keeps them clean, holds in the moisture and adds organic matter to the soil as it breaks down. Take care digging around the plants as RickRS has pointed out. You don't want to damage any of the plants...

    Growing tomatoes year around

    Are the wet seasons hotter. Tomato flowers don't set well if the temps are above 90F. If it gets to warm the flowers can drop off.

    Temp Help

    I would bring them inside at night. If you a sunny window you can put them there during the days that get to cold out side. Most plants need 50 degrees F to grow, cooler and they slow down until it warms.

    beginner questions

    Young plants need to be kept moist until the roots develop. I keep the soil moist to the touch but not soggy. I like to use a spray bottle. I can spray the top of the soil with out flooding the new shoots.

    Watering & Lighting Question

    If you have a nice sunny window that is a great place for your plants. Water them when the the soil is dry but not too dry. You don't want the plants to wilt. Keep your soil moist to the touch but not soggy.

    my herb garden.

    It is nice to have your herbs come back from year to year. I am finding I need to keep the plants under control to keep them in their places. I will be dividing my oregano this spring.

    Advice on planting Mint

    You might try chives or parsley in the small pot. You'll probably replace the herb in the pot next year with something else if the chives or parsley out grow it.

    Sharing a trellis

    Your squash will out grow the cucumbers and probably over take them. I grow them on separate trellises. As the plants grow every few days tie the vines to the trellis with jute twine. If the squash is firmly attached to the trellis the plants will hold the squash. I grew grey hopi on fencing...

    Onion Trouble

    They are right about your onions. Onions are very hardy. Last summer I planted leeks and they didn't seem to be doing well all summer. I planted them a little late in the season. So in Aug. I gave up and tilled over the top of them and planted garlic along side where the leeks were. When the...

    Grow Sweet Corn for the Freezer

    I love sweet corn and have always thought I needed lots of room to grow it in backyard garden. Last year I grew 5 rows 20 feet long. I was careful to space them properly and did all the things I was told. Even though the spring was cool we managed to have a great harvest and we put 53 2cup...

    Pumpkins, Watermelons: Containers or directly in the ground?

    In the ground will give them more nutrients and moisture retention.

    Kitchen herbs

    I plant my mint in a container as well. I keep them trimmed as they like to escape from there planter. Keep something under the pot to discourage roots coming out the bottom. Plant the herbs you use first and then branch out. Nothing better than your own basil and oregano and sage when cooking...

    Tomato blossom end rot

    Blossom end rot is due to calcium deficiency and can be cause by planting your tomato to early in cool weather. Also if you cultivate to close to your tomato roots and damage the feeder roots, the plant can have a hard time up taking the nutrients it needs. I found a product at my garden store...

    The best way to grow herbs indoor !!

    Works Great I agree with your herb instructions. I do use a indoor potting mix and compost together. I use a time release fertilizer, the ones that come in little balls. This releases slowly each time you water. I have grown sweet basil all winter. I usually put my lights about 6 to 8...

    I require a little help

    I love to grow herbs inside and out. My husband brought some sweet basil home from the grocery store and it was in a wrapper with roots intact. I just couldn't stand to waste the root system and planted it in a pot. I used it during the winter and them planted it outside in the spring. It grew...
