summer bounty
|
| |
Hi All, I notice that in several plots the tomatoes and squash are ripening and cantelopes are about the size of a woman's hand.

Still interested but it seems someone's in my plot
|

Hi, hope you're enjoying the summer. I'm on campus again and finally

Does this mean the plot's been given to someone else?
Peace,

remedy for this is to put a but of aluminum foil around the base of
your plant. Make sure it goes a couple of inches above and below
the soil.
Here is a good site with a simple summery of what cutworms are and how
to control them. [link]... more »

Alright! The newest season is just getting started and many of you
have already planted or are doing so. Things are off to a good
though somewhat slow start. Lets take this year to make this garden

Hi All,
I've not been able to make the meetings or get to my plot recently,

I"m still working on those seedlings. I'll be in my plot this week and
wonder if there's anything in particular I need to be doing.
Enjoy spring break.... more »
