This weekend begins my hydropon...

re: Pine needles, hay, or cypress mulch?

It is always better to keep as much as possible off the ground to keep pests and ground borne diseases at bay. As far as heavy fruit, the vines will bear the weight. They are pretty tough. But t...

re: Tips on cutting back rose bushes
Posted by convertedtiger on 1/31/24 at 3:24 pm
All good suggestions. I would add that you need to make the cuts about 1/4" above a 5 leaf branch or a leaf bud and cut at a 45 degree angle. Also cut off dead canes. ...

I had a feeling that the lights on these were not going to be nearly close enough to the plants. I plan on using mine as a humid environment to just get them to germinate then pop the top and add a better light source. I usually have even my high powered light set up just a couple inches from the ...

I have been told that they are just like tomatoes and will continue to ripen after picked, if they have begun to color up.
