@beutifullady Glad to see that covering the ground with plastic worked so well i did mine that way this year because it is cooler here at night and the weeds were so bad last year.Do you have trouble with the plastis getting so hot that it effects the plants? thanks so much and nice garden.
@kellyhose4 I used landscape fabric which allows water to go through it unlike plastic I tried plastic and it was very hard to get water to the plants unless you had put a soaker hose under it first.
@kokonutbaby1 Last time i added fertilizer was about 3 years ago now. I need to add some this year and lime. I ussually put compost in every year but only in the isles.
how much lime do u add and do u put it directly on the soil you are about to plant in or just on the sides? Whatever ur doing its working..nice garden!
@kokonutbaby1 i ussually put one bag of 50 pound pulverized lime and one 50 pound bag of 10-10-10 at the begining of the year before planting tilll it in
This all depends on the variety of tomato or peppers you are planting. Best thing to do is look up the variety you have and how many days to harvest. I have tried the colored peppers and tomatoes, my family prefers red tomatoes so I dont plant the yellow ones no more. The ppers I tried never really changed color so I just ate them green.
I could get alot more if i did not grow so many pumpkins and gourds. I first planted the cabbage on 4-30-2007 and this vid was taken on 8-27-2007 when i picked the cabbage.
I'd watched the whole video,Thanks for your sharing ,and your kindness. I just didn't see how you made the mix soil. I want to learn more ,and you help a lot of novice on gar..Like me, I app. your effort
Those cabbages are huge! Do you sell them at local grocery stores or farmer's market on the roadside?
