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.

2018-03-04 21:11:38 UTC  

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.

2018-03-04 22:03:30 UTC  

Push...pull back...push...pull back. Kinda like mopping, for that first cut 😛

2018-03-04 22:04:11 UTC  

It's a lot of work, good exercise. You learn fast why gas mowers became so popular lol

2018-03-05 13:47:36 UTC  

Ug. Twice a week? How about twice a month? Mabye I'll I give it another chance. @Phillip Wiglesworth - FL

Our potatoes are popping up! Grabbed a few for dinner! Exciting!

2018-03-13 21:13:14 UTC  

@Olivia M#0852 I grew a quarter acre of reds and blues once!

2018-03-13 23:43:49 UTC  

Nice! I’m just amped that I was able to do it in FL of all places

2018-03-14 10:50:31 UTC  

Is the soil not conducive to it down there?

2018-03-14 17:32:01 UTC  

The heat is more so the issue I think. But sweet potatoes do great - they love the heat.

What are you guys growing now? I got blueberry bushes for my birthday!

2018-04-26 02:16:28 UTC  

What kind of climate do you live in?

2018-04-26 02:16:36 UTC  

Zone 7ish.

2018-04-26 02:16:44 UTC  

Lol

2018-04-26 02:16:54 UTC  

Ahh im dumb MD

2018-04-26 02:17:06 UTC  

Oof

2018-04-26 02:17:17 UTC  

Well, if you have a fence along your property, jasmine is always a great choice

2018-04-26 02:17:19 UTC  

Gravy.

2018-04-26 02:17:51 UTC  

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.

2018-04-27 19:40:14 UTC  

Does anyone need help planting their garden?

2018-04-27 19:40:54 UTC  

I need tricks for keeping seedlings from wilting over

2018-04-27 19:41:35 UTC  

What kind of plant?

2018-04-27 19:42:22 UTC  

Well cucumber seeds but also growing pine trees. The pine tree seedlings seem to get wilt over quite quickly

2018-04-27 19:46:53 UTC  

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.

2018-04-27 19:47:25 UTC  

Yea they wilt over after a week of sprouting

2018-04-27 19:47:43 UTC  

I bought a grow light and it worked better

2018-04-27 19:47:55 UTC  

But now they get fried too. Maybe I shouldn’t use the heat matte

2018-04-27 19:48:07 UTC  

The needles get fried

2018-04-27 19:48:46 UTC  

Cinnamon helped with wilt over to an extent

2018-04-27 19:49:37 UTC  

One per pot. Water frequently and make sure your soil pH isn't messed up. You can buy test strips at any garden store.

2018-04-27 19:51:31 UTC  

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

2018-04-27 19:51:46 UTC  

It should be 5.5 to 7 unless your trees call for something else.

2018-04-27 19:52:02 UTC  

Ah ok
