That looks absolutely perfect and what I want to do. It's nearing the Winter though (Winter is coming lol), so would it be a good time to pick up the hobby now?

2017-10-03 16:40:29 UTC  

Or wait until the Spring?

2017-10-03 16:40:43 UTC  

What zone are you in?

2017-10-03 16:40:58 UTC  

I live in Harrisonburg, Virginia

2017-10-03 16:41:18 UTC  

Eastern Time Zone is that is what you're looking for

2017-10-03 16:44:29 UTC  

No hardiness zone. So you're in zone 6 which isn't good for winter planting without a greenhouse. You can look around for supplies now and start your seeds in late winter/early spring indoors.

2017-10-03 16:46:08 UTC  

That would be fantastic! Would you mind in I reached out to you again at the end of winter for some questions?

Not at all. Here's a pic of a pallet being used as a mini garden. Since pallets are free and everywhere it's a cheap easy way to do these gardens:

2017-10-03 16:50:36 UTC  

I really dig that! Awesome job!

2017-10-03 16:51:19 UTC  

That's not mine but I plan to do these mixed in with my garden to save space.

2017-10-03 17:11:39 UTC  

Very pretty

2017-10-03 17:14:58 UTC  

We love the pallet planters at my house. Be sure to use pallets that are not chemically treated. They have stamps on them with different designations.

2017-10-03 17:30:04 UTC  

^^^Yes. Whenever using wood to make a garden container make sure it's not chemically treated.

2017-10-03 19:54:18 UTC  

@Deleted User O wouldn't use pallets for gardening, fam. It's usually made from pressure treated lumber

Oops, didn't read all the way down

Does anyone have any suggestions for what to plant in a fall garden? I’m limited to an area that has practically full shade, so I’m restricted in what could successfully grow there.

2017-10-08 22:32:13 UTC  

If nothing is suitable for that spot, I could always purchase pots for my porch.

2017-10-09 01:01:26 UTC  

You could try some root vegetables like beets, carrots, or potatoes or some leafy greens. I know they don’t really need full sun but I’m sure they’d want at least a little bit still can’t hurt to try

2017-10-09 03:43:00 UTC  

Ok, I’ll see what I can do. 👍🏻 Thanks

Nice. Now bread it and fry to make is sufficiently not healthy 😃

2017-10-22 01:58:08 UTC  

Yes!

2017-10-23 02:19:15 UTC  

Great eggplant!

2017-10-23 02:29:34 UTC  

Thanks!

So this seems like the best place to ask but does anyone have tips for treating pink eye in cows?

2017-12-18 11:40:21 UTC  

antibiotics and eye patches, keep as much sun off of them as possible. That's what the eye patches are for. Back on the farm we'd have some cows get it so bad the vet would stitch the eye shut until it cleared up. But it's been about 10 years since I've messed with cattle so there could be some updated way to treat pinkeye. @varjack WA

2017-12-18 11:45:55 UTC  

You probably need to get the vet out there to check out the situation. They can also give you tips on how to control it, flies help spread it. But that's probably not a problem this time of year.

For some reason whenever we try to grow strawberries they don't do to well here

2018-01-30 23:23:57 UTC  

Is it because of our climate/environment

2018-01-30 23:24:09 UTC  

Can I improve it somehow

2018-01-31 20:04:26 UTC  

Strawberries are usually like weeds. What state are you in?

2018-02-17 00:17:37 UTC  

Anyone have any experience with edible/medicinal mushroom cultivation?

2018-02-17 00:35:51 UTC  

I've helped my mom grow some in logs before. I think they where morales?

2018-02-24 05:14:08 UTC  

Not sure if anyone has posted this guy's videos before, even as an urban farmer in Canada he does quite well and has some great tips. My husband and I have been enjoying them.... https://youtu.be/neqT2bruHwI
