When planting flowering plants, make sure the rootball is wet and the ground is moist. Plant after a rain if possible. Give the plants a good drink to settle the soil around their roots to lessen the shock of being transplanted. Plants that have a good start will perform better than ones...
Tomato plants grown in containers need more water than garden tomatoes. Soil in containers heats up faster which leads to more water evaporation. A good rule of thumb for containers is to water until water runs freely from the bottom. Can you pick green tomatoes and will they turn red?
Plants grow from seeds. Inside each seed is an embryo, or a baby plant. All seeds have an outer layer (外层) called the seed coat, just like an eggshell! Once the baby plant grows out of its coat, it’s called a seedling. Then the roots form (出现) and the baby plant can get ...
Various natural compounds, ranging from cell wall components to metabolic enzymes have been reported to protect plants from infection by pathogens and hence provide specific resistance to hosts against pathogens, termed as induced resistance. It involves various biochemical components, that play an ...
And they look good alongside veggies and fruit--grow them with edibles in beds, borders, or pots.Just grow it "If something you grow dies, it doesn't mean you have a black thumb," Leslie says. There are lots of reasons that plants die--disease, bad weather--so don't give up. "...
and the vine type can reach to 6 feet in height.Trellis systemsor tomato cages can be used to support plants that are the vine type. Sow cucumber seeds every two to three weeks until three months before your area's first average annual frost date to have a continuous harvest of cucumber...
The idea of hydroponics gardening is simply to grow plants without soil. Basically, hydroponics is a part of Hydroculture. So the question is, how can a tree stand without soil? The answer is mineral nutrient solutions. Soil is a kind of mineral nutrient solution itself. So why not replace...
It seems strange to be launching into tomato recipes at the start of September, but the growing season here in Seattle is a little behind most areas – only recently have the tomato plants on my balcony begun to produce in full force: I’ll never complain about a surplus of tomatoes, reg...

Over the past two to three decades, molecular and genetic studies have helped to decipher the cellular events responsible for GA activities in some model plants such as A. thaliana and rice, and this has opened the door to GA research in other plant species. In A. thaliana, DELLA regulates...
