@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
My bounty, from a 4x4 plot of soil
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.
If nothing is suitable for that spot, I could always purchase pots for my porch.
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
Ok, I’ll see what I can do. 👍🏻 Thanks
My Japanese eggplants still going strong
Nice. Now bread it and fry to make is sufficiently not healthy 😃
Yes!
Great eggplant!
Thanks!
So this seems like the best place to ask but does anyone have tips for treating pink eye in cows?
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
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
Is it because of our climate/environment
Strawberries are usually like weeds. What state are you in?
Anyone have any experience with edible/medicinal mushroom cultivation?
I've helped my mom grow some in logs before. I think they where morales?
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
First lil red potato of this crop!! It’s so cute I had to share!
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
