But let me explain. I start many of my seedlings off in pots, which are then transferred into plug trays very soon after germinating. The seedlings are still very small at this stage but seem to settle into their new homes just fine nonetheless. This means that the seed starting mix in...
add water and place it near a sunny window. Note that lemongrass might need a little more sun than the vegetables mentioned above. After approximately seven days, you should see new growth. As soon as this happens, you have to move the plant into another pot, and add soil...
We do have a hypothesis, however, about why this cheap and easy deer fencing simple really does seem to work. We believe the deer graze along in our grass, and when their sensitive muzzles brush against the (invisible) fishing line, it startles them, so they strike out in a different ...
This nice people atGlobal Garden Friendswere nice enough to send me a few of their product to try out with my garden this year and given today I was bringing out my cucumbers, tomatoes, zucchini, and pumpkins from thegrow boxit seemed like a great time to put them to the test. The f...

It takes a truly dedicated progressive, or a truly remarkable idiot (please excuse me for being repetitious) to turn a blind eye to that glaringly obvious truth. � Given the fact that it�s damned-near impossible to compete with China in commodity markets and given the fact that there ...
but all I could do was hold onto Lawrence and drag him back into the snow-slicked grass off the sidewalk. There were only about twelve empty feet before the forest closed in, and it wasn’t anywhere near enough to get him below threshold. I grit my teeth and hauled him, slipping and...
My seed collection from my Winter Luxury Pie pumpkin I purchased a few years back finally paid off and I was able to produce a couple of decent sized pumpkins which should provide me enough pumpkin goo (canned pumpkin) to make plenty of baked goods this fall. For those who have not made...
