I've not grown wheat myself but my friend does. She grew it to till back in while it's still green. I haven't tried wheat in my own garden....
A couple of gardening friends and I grow cover crops in our in-ground beds and raised beds. So far it's been whatever seeds we have on hand like...
My extra tomato plants all got homes this year. I planted 11 plants, gave four to my son and five to a neighbor. Usually my extra plants end...
I'm growing Stupice tomatoes this year. My hope was to get them in early and out early. They were slow to germinate. They looked rather...
Thank you everyone. I learned something from this question. I've never transplanted dill. I've grow it from seed in the Spring and again in late...
Okay, I misunderstood your original post. Your plants are in buckets--not transplanted into garden soil. Keep on with bringing them in and out....
When my tomato plants go in the ground it's in the 60's or warmer in the daytime but in the 50's or lower at night. I cover the plants with old...
My heavens! I have 11 tomato plants and that feels like a lot to me when I start harvesting. Sixty-seven tomato plants in the "small" garden....

There was a time I'd make myself crazy trying to assure companion planting. The reality here is that some has a basis in science and some is old...
I live in the Southwestern desert. I think of myself as in Zone 8 in the winter and 9 in the summer. We get some frost and light freezes in the...
I cage my tomato plants rather than stake them or limit them to a main branch. Here in the desert it helps to have all the foliage I can to...
I don't have central heating in my mobile home. I don't really need it for people in this climate. But, apparently I do for plants. I set the...
I'm not knowledgeable about the weather or growing season in Montreal. I'm responding to the question because I've learned something important...
I grew tomatillos last year. I had two plants and I just let them sprawl. The salsa I made was disappointing at first. Not the terrific...
There was a time I couldn't get a decent tomato to grow in this desert. Cherry tomatoes did well, but have you ever tried to eat a sandwich with...
Boy do I envy all of you that can grow apple trees. Not enough child factor where I live. Boo Hoo.
Well, garden toad, I hope this all works out. This is an experiment. I got a chuckle out of your post just now because the last note I made about...
I plant them deep because I want a nice large root system and a thick, sturdy stem. Roots will start to grow from the stem that's under the soil....
