Spuds! 😀
Ok. Really excited about this. Not gardening related per say, but anyone use one? Our yard only ironically for Florida needs mowing 5 times a month. Bought some corn seeds while there. Have had some decent success with that.
@Olivia M and I will soon be pulling Winter crops. Back before citrus became king, Central FL did grow cotton, corn, tobacco even etc. Tried cotton, seeds came from Oregon and think were duds. I like to keep garden natural and how it would have been for a settler minus watering. Just no farmland around here anymore and enjoy growing crops you see further North of here.
Corn is hit or miss.
I tried one of those. I never figured it out. In show's about the 50s they always show dads pushing them around like they are going for a stroll. I tried and tried but it either didn't cut, or it jammed up.
I see people in our historic districts use them all the time, grass always looks good, but every one I see isn't painted. So different brand for sure and they are bigger.
@Algrin "Bailey" Bagley - PA You just set it high, and go slow. And then lower it a little bit and cut again to the length you like. Then you best make sure to cut twice a week to keep it that way.
Push...pull back...push...pull back. Kinda like mopping, for that first cut 😛
It's a lot of work, good exercise. You learn fast why gas mowers became so popular lol
Ug. Twice a week? How about twice a month? Mabye I'll I give it another chance. @Phillip Wiglesworth - FL
Wednesday’s and Saturdays...welcome to living old school 😂
Our potatoes are popping up! Grabbed a few for dinner! Exciting!
@Olivia M#0852 I grew a quarter acre of reds and blues once!
Nice! I’m just amped that I was able to do it in FL of all places
Is the soil not conducive to it down there?
The heat is more so the issue I think. But sweet potatoes do great - they love the heat.
What kind of climate do you live in?
Zone 7ish.
Lol
Ahh im dumb MD
Oof
Well, if you have a fence along your property, jasmine is always a great choice
Gravy.
I don’t own it. These are going in large box planters and relocating when we move. We’re hoping to buy a property in the next year.
Does anyone need help planting their garden?
I need tricks for keeping seedlings from wilting over
What kind of plant?
Well cucumber seeds but also growing pine trees. The pine tree seedlings seem to get wilt over quite quickly
I'm not sure about cucumber but you need to grow the pine tree seedlings indoors until they are between 6 and 12 inches tall.
Yea they wilt over after a week of sprouting
I bought a grow light and it worked better
But now they get fried too. Maybe I shouldn’t use the heat matte
The needles get fried
Cinnamon helped with wilt over to an extent
One per pot. Water frequently and make sure your soil pH isn't messed up. You can buy test strips at any garden store.
It has to be very acidic I’m assuming. I have one per a pot. I don’t let them dry out so I don’t think it’s an underwatering issue.

I’ve done this for a couple of years but only managed to get a handful out of hundreds.

I’m thinking maybe I should use a different soil type even though they recommend vermiculite and peatmoss
