    Pepper Seeds I have on hand

    Actually, the Bhut Jolokia is the current record holder for World's Hottest Pepper. The Naga Morich is a closely related variety that is as hot if not hotter. The Dorset Naga is a strain of Naga Morich. The Trinidad Scorpion and a few other peppers out of Trinidad are also in that mega hot...

    Topsy Turvy

    I think the 5 gallon buckets would work better than the actual commercial bag. And I think I'd go for dwarfs, determinants or at the very least, varieties that aren't as sprawling.

    Welcome Dublinah! I'm enjoying a beautiful sunny day outside. Finally! A weekend day with no cold, gray clouds, and no rain. Spring might just finally be here.

    New... New... New... Everything

    I lived in eastern NC for a few years, I worked at East Carolina. Peas and probably onions should be considered cool season crops in zone 7. Someone who knows more about growing onions can speak up, but I know around here they're put in in the fall or early spring. Peas, peas should go in...

    Design with Your Personality

    Randy, with all your critters, have you ever considered getting one of the flock guardian breeds of dog, like a Great Pyrenees or Anatolian Shepherd? I was looking at some Great Pyrenees crosses when I was thinking about getting another dog. I wanted a dog that will protect the homestead without...

    soooo pretty

    My mother saw some Sedona coleus on a garden tour a few years back, and she has wanted some ever since. I've tried and tried and I can't ever find seeds of it, and none of the nurseries around here have been able to get it in as a plant. http://www.rosydawngardens.com/sedona-207.html I'm...

    Tomato Favs

    Gloria, I can't remember what part of Sc you're in, but my experience with Brandywine is that in cool to normal summers they produce well...for a Brandywine. They're not the most productive tomatoes, but boy are they tasty! If it's a hot summer, though, they don't do so well. For taste and...

    Tomato Favs

    My sister gave me some wonderful tomato books that talk about some of the delicious heirlooms that are still available for Christmas this year. One of the books, the one by Amy Goldman, had a whole section on the Mortagage Lifter tomato. There is apparently more than one, in fact there are half...

    Honesty

    You can really grow honesty? See, I thought this was going to be some sort of satirical meta discussion on the need for more honestly and truth in our world.

    The Bluegrass Bunch

    We got my mother one for Christmas this year. She'll be eighty soon, and still takes off with her Traveling Girls for road trips. We felt like it was a safety precaution as much as anything. She loves it! She knows how to program in where she wants to go, and she loves that it tells her the...

    Fertilisers 'reducing diversity'

    I think in a cultivated setting like a garden it's the goal to have some plants out compete others, and that as gardeners we stack the deck in the favor of the plants we want. I believe what the article was referencing was less formally cultivated settings, and even wild areas. The amount of...

    Whitefly dilemma

    Ha! Have you ever tried to snatch a handful of whiteflies out of the air? I'd have more luck waving my sundew plant back and forth and letting the nasty little #$%@ get stuck.

    Shasta Daisy - Alaska

    Sometimes perennials don't bloom the first year. taht being said, I would make sure they were getting plenty of sunlight and don't fertilize them with a high nitrogen fertilizer like Miracle Grow.

    Earth Box

    You can build your own version, too. http://earthtainer.tomatofest.com/pdfs/EarthTainer-Construction-Guide.pdf I'm going to give this a try.

    Robin's

    Me too, Palmettogal! Now if the mud pit formerly known as my backyard would just dry out a bit, I might be able to do something about it.

    my amaryllis bulb

    I wouldn't cut the leaves, the bulb needs the leaves to produce energy to grow. What are your growing conditions? As in, how much light is it getting, what are the temperatures, how often do you water it, is it getting any fertilizer and what kind of fertilizer...stuff like that.
