Re: Gardening by the Moon
from zackey on 04/02/2015 06:28 AMI've gotta try harder to plant by the moon. I plant whenever I get motivated. That doesn't always work.
ReplyRe: Gardening by the Moon
from zackey on 04/02/2015 02:30 AMI always wondered if that was worth doing. My parents are one generation off of the farm. They grew a big garden, but I wasn't allowed to go in it. It was my mom's sanctuary. I could only be in it when my dad had hoed up the potatoes and I got to dig them out. I always regretted the knowledge and experience I could have learned from them. I have learned on my own, but it's not the same as passed on knowledge.
Re: Wash With White Vinegar After Handling Hot Peppers to Stop Burning
from zackey on 04/01/2015 09:34 PMThat's good to know! I touched my face after handling a Habanero pepper. It burnt for about 8 hours.

from zackey on 03/31/2015 11:55 PMI try to come here once a day. Too much bashing and negative comments on GW for me to stay on there for long.
Re: Starting cukes/squash inside
from zackey on 03/31/2015 11:53 PMI always planted my seeds right in the ground for cukes. Squash I start outside in pots. You could try. The only way I know what works for me in my zone is to experiment. Everyone has different results. I watch people buy them in the garden centers already started.

Re: Growing National Pickling Cucumbers
from zackey on 03/29/2015 07:50 PMI know what you used. I pinned a 12' by 5' landscape cloth with them all by myself when we started the nursery. I can't get down on my knees now to do it. I got rid of al of my wire hangers too. I found out the hard way that wire hangers are a no-no in the south. I had clothes with rust marks on the shoulders because of the dampness here. They are called squash borerers. They bore into the base of the squash and it kills the plant. I read a post recently on GW about stink bugs. The person had a bucket of soapy water next to her tomato plants. It had rotten or bug eaten tomatoes in it. She forgot to empty it. The next day she looked in it and it had lots of dead stink bugs in it. They were attracted to the bad tomatoes. I'm gonna try it this year!
Re: WANTED: Cotton Seeds
from zackey on 03/29/2015 07:17 AMThe farm about a mile away from our house grows cotton and the cotton bolls blow all around. If they grow some this year I'll send you some. It won't be until the fall. He's only grown it for two years. Last year he grew peanuts.
