    garlic spears ??????

    I'm not quite certain what you mean by "spears." Do you mean the individual cloves from the garlic bulb? And are you trying to freeze the remaining cloves on the bulb or the individual cloves you've pulled from the bulb? I wouldn't try to freeze either. To preserve them indefinitely, I would...

    Tomatoes

    Hey Dor, where can I find this home made recipe? This is my first garden in YEARS and I've dedicated myself to doing it all organic (or as much as humanly possible anyway). This stuff sounds scrumptious!

    A problem with my Pepper Plants?

    Thanks Gloria.... This is my first garden since I was a kid living at home over THIRTY years ago. So I'm bound to make a few mistakes (like I did with my first plantings of green beans that everyone here helped me with). Thanks as well Dale.... Yeah, I figured that with the organics I...

    A problem with my Pepper Plants?

    And a follow up.... even with all of the rain, I don't see the plants doing any "wilting" during the day, getting any yellow leaves etc. Honestly, at one point I thought I was going to have to replace all of them. They were all stunted somehow due to my impatience and early planting (second week...

    A problem with my Pepper Plants?

    When I say "top dressed," all I really did was losen the top of the soil between rows or around the plants sprinkling with a little organic fertilizer (always staying about 2-3" away from the stems and then top dressing over the fertilizer. So no.... no "mounding" really. I mean, I haven't...

    A problem with my Pepper Plants?

    Well darn, after getting my green bean issue resolved (I have three plantings up and doing VERY well now with the first in full bloom, the second filling in nicely and the third just popping up with nice healthy looking seedlings and 100% germination). My pepper plants FINALLY started growing...

    Tomatoes

    A little off topic.... sorry for the thread jack.... I set my tomato plants out the last week of April this year. It was warm, sunny and we had had just the right amount of rain. I added peat, composted cow manure and organic top soil (in about a 1/3-1/3-1/3 ratio) to my planting bed and worked...

    Am I planting my green beans too deep?

    And, as a follow up.... I'm doing my part in the whole going GREEN thing and doing this totally organic. The fertilizer is organic: http://www.espoma.com/p_consumer/tones_overview.html so that shouldn't be a problem. And, no dusting with pesticides at all for this garden. If I end up with any...

    Am I planting my green beans too deep?

    Man.... I didn't even THINK of that. Although, the manure I added was already "composted" in that it was called "Composted Cow Manure." So, shouldn't that have been OK to work into the soil prior to planting? I've even used the peat/composted manure/organic top soil blend to top dress my onions...

    Am I planting my green beans too deep?

    Hello everyone.... This is my first garden since I was a kid living at home (and that was a LONG time ago ;)). It's just a small one with four tomato plants, a half dozen various pepper plants and some yellow onions. I decided to also plant some bush type Blue Lake green beans from seed as...
