Well folks, looks like old man winter is inhibiting both growth at the community garden and threads on this list! :-( Oh well...other folks silence never...
Turkey manure is great and I used to have a very plentiful source. ;) My parents raised turkeys commercially for many years. They retired from that several...
I haven't ever used turkey manure, but I know a lady in my hometown who swears by chicken manure. I think that may be a little easier to find commercially. I...
I had bought some turkey manure last year - a small bag of about 1 lb or so - from a local nursery, I believe it is the one on Lamar Blvd near Kramer. I am...
Hey there Laurie et al... I just got back from another trip to Phoenix...boy do I hate that city! I lived there for over 20 years so I think I earned the...
Wow...I'm sorry to hear about the child. There are those of us adults who have probably earned a little suffering, but children shouldn't have to experience...
Hey there Pradeep...I hope the rain and WIND were kind to your plots. They gentlemen you were referring to that is interested in a plot is Pat. Let me know if...
I haven't had a chance to visit the gardens for a week now; I hope all is well out there. No, I haven't met Pat or his friends in a long time. Pradeep Ray Cone...
Well, be thankful you live in Austin, TX. Pittsburgh, PA might as well be the North Pole in comparison!!! I was there the latter part of last week and they...
The wind is really making my gardening a little more difficult than necessary. I had black plastic down to solarize one of my plots, and the wind kicked it...
Hello, Everybody! I've just finished reading all of the posts and must say that this sounds like a most informative group. I live in San Marcos, so I can't...
Greetings Camille...certainly you are welcome to join, post and jump in on any threads. I love gardening and we have a great group at our community garden,...
Something that I have found interesting and very useful is the weekly newsletter mailed by the folks at Natural Gardner. You can subscribe to it when you...
This is what I was talking about in the earlier mail. This mail comes in every week and there is info like: TIP OF THE WEEK; HERB OF THE WEEK; WHAT TO DO IN...
Welcome, Camille! We can always use a new member. I have a few links that might be able to help you. The first is a list from the Aggie Horticulture site...
I knew I'd find the chart as soon as I posted the last message. From what I can tell the Aggies think, Austin and San Marcos both average a last frost around...
Thank you to everyone for making me feel so welcome. I've looked at a few of the links you sent and they have been most helpful. I've actually been on the...
I've started using black plastic in the past year or so, and I like it. I get the 6 mil weight. My parents tried the 4 mil, but with the winds, it ripped...
Have any of you decided what you're planting this year? I've got some lettuces in the ground that I'll keep cutting for several months, but I'm already...
I am sticking with my variety! I intend to put in a bunch of Indian vegetables just like last year, along with the tomatoes, eggplants and okra and more. Now...
My tomatoes didn't do well last year at all. I think I got too late of a start with planting my seeds. I had a lot of hope for one called Mexico that is...
Pradeep, What variety do you use? I'm looking for a good, basic variety I can use every year. I haven't yet found one that I'm happy with. Rhonda ... year,...
Mine didn't do well at all, either. That's why I was hoping someone had better results. Maybe it wasn't me, it was the conditions. Celebrity is supposed to...
I mean, I will plant a variety of vegetables (tomato, cucumber, bell pepper, chillies, long beans, squashes, etc.), and in each kind I had several varieties...
Well Rhonda...asking a tomato question is much like opening Pandora's box!!! ... I'm a bit of a nut about heirloom varieties, but they do not produce as much ...
Hello Pradeep- My cucumbers where a 50% success...the green slicer grew like a weed, but my new variety of white cucumber hardly produced at all. The only...
