Thanks for the advice. I have a lot of extra tubing left. This is my first attempt. I figure with the weed barrier, and watering at the roots will keep the weeds at bay.
I've got several that are starting to color now just in the couple of days I've been home. Won't be long now.
Good question and I don't know the answer. Here at home we have a good, deep well. Water is full of minerals and taste great. Has to be beneficial to the plants. At the camp, in the middle of nowhere, I actually have township water, even though there are no real towns anywhere close. It's convenient and taste ok, but it's still cloronated and not nearly as good for vegetables.
I would think there is plenty enough minerals in the ground. I would use it.
Same here. We eat them a couple times a day as long as they're producing. Usually have plenty to freeze for soup and sauces. The only store bought tomatoes my Wife buys in the off season are some of the cherry tomatoes they import and not many of them.
That is true, it's not like the ground is mineral deficit or anything. Especially with the supplements like manure and such. I've been tilling in everything from sheet rock to banana peels.
I can send you a good zucchini bread recipe. It cans nicely and is good with a drop or 2 or 10 of honey. You can enjoy it all year.
A zucchini bread recipe that cans nicely? That’s a new one on me…
Sounds like you got a pretty good sized garden.Yeah cute kids would have an advantage in selling over us "not-so-cute-guys".
It does. Same recipe she always uses. Instead of freezing the loaves, we tried canning a few. You have to use wide mouth jars obviously, but they tasted fine.
I'm going to let some of you more experienced gardeners take that one. I haven't grown bush beans in many years.
Need to try and identify the culprit.
