organic edible home garden estate and square foot gardening
nova may know how to plant and pick this stuff but she obviously is pretty lame when it comes to official names of the greens and veggies! it is not that she learns them and forgets them, it is that she never reads the labels in the first place and then identifies them by physical attributes noted in her head and names that she makes up in her own brain according to personal logic…..as if that makes it any better ! sorry guys, love ,me
Planting the Grow A Row Demonstration Garden at Anderson Farm. Dr. Courtin explains the special mix of composts, vermiculite and peat moss, and the proper density to plant your seeds. Mel Bartholemew’s book Square Foot Gardening explains it is detail, and is available to borrow at your public library.
The New $50 Raised Bed Vegetable Garden “How I built a square foot garden” 2011
I read Mel Bartholomew’s book “All New Square Foot Gardening” So I built this raised bed out of recycled lumber. If you were to build this your self It can be done for fifty dollars give or take. I prefer using reclaimed lumber when ever possible. This project can be done on a weekend or in 8 hours worth of time if you have all the materials when you begin. It took me a few days working on it a little at a time. My future plans are to add one more raised bed besides the current new bed and grow, grow, grow……..This season I plan on doing a few rows in the dirt next to the new bed and try growing a bunch of corn for my birds. They love corn on the cob……. Your soil will cost more then the estimated budget. That can be another bucks depending what you want to do. Read Mel’s book…….

I would like to know why my purple Angel Trumpet is flowering instead of leafing out as it should.?
It is one foot high. It does not seem to be growing. It keeps flowering instead of producing leaves.
Why aren’t my home grown chillie plants producing flowers?
I planted them late February/early March. They look really healthy and are now about 2 /12 foot tall. Can’t seem to find an answer on the gardening websites.

I need help identifying a flower.?
It is very bright orangish-yellow. It looks like a daisy only with all yellow. The stems grow about a foot high with one flower on top of each one. It comes up every year.
Any ideas? I can send you a picture via email but I have no link to one.
Thank you for any help you can offer!
It’s not a gerber daisy. The whole flower including the middle is bright yellow. And the whole flower is probably 2 inches in diameter.
When do I replant asiatic lilies???
Several years ago I planted about 30 asiatic lily bulbs in a 3 foot x 3 foot flower bed . This year they grew and bloomed well but seem to be over crowded . Several large flowers in center and lots of smaller around edge . My question is should I dig up and give more room to grow ?? If so when ??? I live in Central Illinois And if I relocate should I get smaller ones from edge or move larger from center .

What is this plant? Would it be good for lotions etc.? Is it edible?
This plant grows in Georgia. I found it growing in gravel and in the open fields in poor soil-mostly clay and over limestone. I didn’t see any flowers. It is fragrant, smells like an herb: kind of sweet, almost pine like. The leaves are slinder and pointed with a soft fuzzy underside. The roots are thick and kind of like wood, seems to root somewhat shallow. There is a main stalk which branches off and the branches (also fuzzy) are covered in leaves. Looks a lot like a bushy version of fleabane. Leaves hands sticky! Grows to a foot/foot and a half tall, grows in groups and individually.
