I know its late , Is it to late for me to plant anything to get started --- Be nice It's not late...I'll be planting tomatoes for the fall garden in the next couple of weeks...Now would be a good time to start preparing to plant squash, tomatoes, peppers, cucumbers, etc. There are two times to plant/harvest, spring and fall...You usually plant a couple of weeks before spring and a couple of months before fall...

2- grand marconi peppers 8 sweet banana peppers 2 japs 3 okra 3 anaheim 2 small maters squash bugs are getting bad, but I am still getting 1-2 every other day or so. I'm going to try to bust their arse with liquid sevin once it quits raining. I'm also attempting to clone a tomato plant.. We'll see how that goes, but I am expecting failure. Time to start thinking about the fall garden and how and what I want for it.

I tried the cloning just like in the video that was posted here , and even with no root hormone I have been able to do two different plants...those little swell up when you water them peat pots work great...hope yours works well...Thanks for the help on the peppers LSS, I have decided it wasnt as big as I thought and I will give it a few more days...just put out Zuccini, Yellow straight neck , some more Broccoli and another 19 tomatoes that should have been out before now, but they should do good. Have some okra seed on the way too...

I need some help trying to find out what is doing this: My Mom in New England planted some pole lima and pole green beans. These have been in the ground for about 3 months. Something is cutting the plants 3-4 inches from the ground. What can cut the plants just like someone is cutting them with a knife. Any ideas? The stock is about the size of a pencil.

Thanks for the info. She went to a local farm in the area and they told her cutworms are active only in the spring. I think it's the cutworms no matter what they say. She ended up wrapping the bottom 6" of the plant stem and no more cutting. Thanks again

Question to all the gardening Gurus --- To keep cost down , I would like to plant from seeds if possible what do you recommend I'd probably stay away from growing peppers and tomatoes from seeds...I'd plant squash, cucumbers, watermelon or cantaloupe seeds...I'd get pepper and tomato plants from a local nursery or small hardware store...Most sell 4 packs for $1.50 or less...

Hey everyone.. I have been trying to find some plants to put outside of my apartment in a plant box I'm going to attach to the balcony railing.. It will get a LOT of sun, and I'm very forgetful at times when it comes to watering regularly.
Any advice on something that wont die, wont grow all over the place, and does not need a lot of love?

Something with a woody stem will be a hardy plant and might do better . With a little love and care most anything will do.

It's a polymer that absorbs water then releases it as the plant's needs dictate. Don't use too much. It'll swell up and push your plants out of the ground.  You're gonna have to water until the plants get established but portulaca (rose moss) , cacti and succulents like "hen and chicks" will all do well with minimal watering.

Go ahead and till some good manure into your soil and get the soil tested.
