Guest guest Posted April 17, 2012 Report Share Posted April 17, 2012 Good for you Marie!! My veggies are coming along, but it's been cooler up here, so no crop yet... My t'mater plants are getting big though and very healthy looking... I think the temp is just now getting into the 80's and will finally remain there.. We've had some 80' but a lot of 70's still and nights in the 40's and 50's, so things are still growing pretty slow... Oh, an my watermelon seeds have sprouted!! Organic watermelons, can't wait! I've built four 30 gallon garden boxes and have two 18 gallon ones to build yet.. I sure wish I built them before planting time as I could not get my garden boxes built fast enough once planting season started here.

Guest guest Posted April 17, 2012 Report Share Posted April 17, 2012 Hi Marie, South Florida certainly has different problems than Michigan! But my cousin in Tallahassee has ideal gardening conditions. Now that it's truly spring in Michigan, I'm contemplating gardening in earnest this summer. I seem to have a little more energy than I had last summer, and that's where I want to use it.

Guest guest Posted April 17, 2012 Report Share Posted April 17, 2012 khaya,i'm so envious of your spring. even in my greenhouse i can't put out tomatoes and peppers before june. just too cold for them to take up the nutrients. and then they often succumb to fungus from the moisture. our autums are nice though, because the wind starts coming off the land from the east instead of off the ocean on the west. last yr it stayed nice into early oct. and this winter we have had more sun than normal. i am doing something so i can maybe do a little gardening this yr. when i put in my raised bed garden i only had access to aged horse manure, which i discovered has viable seeds of alfalfa, oats and other aggressive growing grasses. so my garden soon turned to solid grass, as i couldn't keep a head of it. so i am having all the cinder block beds (wood rots here) moved, the ground leveled and landscape fabric put down to eliminate the grass and seeds. then the rebuilt deeper beds will be filled with bagged compost (no seeds) mixed with sand for drainage and will then have a garden i can use. anyway, hopefully this will give me a garden that will have almost no maintenance so i can enjoy some fruit from my work. i already have 2 rows of blueberries (that need tlc) new strawberries coming, blackberries and huckleberries growing wild all over. these 4 do very well here, and that's about it. some cool crops can grow here if i put some work into it, will see. but would love the organic greens. so enjoy the wonderful mich. weather for your garden. it's a beautiful place. been there many times as my mom's family is from grand rapids.barbara You're right about that, Marie!

Guest guest Posted April 18, 2012 Report Share Posted April 18, 2012 Thanks for the advice CR, Do you know anything about using chicken poop for fertilizer? One of our neighbors gets it when he goes up north, and that is all he uses on his lawn. We hardly ever fertilize our garden beds, other than mulch and natural compost (unfortunately, our compost pile does not get hot enough to kill all the weed seeds, and we cannot really keep up with the weeds and grass in our beds). Marie, I know juicing greens is supposed to be really good for you, but I am not fond of green juice! I know a lot of people put some of their " weeds " in their salads, but we just add herbs from our garden. Barbara, I thought the weather in northwest Washington would be a lot like Vancouver, BC, which I had heard had ideal gardening conditions. When you move further south, will the gardening be any better? Sorry--I skipped quite a few emails this morning, but I'll get to them eventually--my new windows look wonderful! And they open and close quite easily. Khaya > > >> > > > >> > Hi Jim , > > >> >  > > >> > I have suppernb concomber plants from the first vegetable bucket I made like the you tube you posted here  .

Guest guest Posted April 20, 2012 Report Share Posted April 20, 2012 I bought a load of topsoil once, to fill in a low area of our lawn. It was full of weed seeds--different weeds than were in the other parts of our lawn, so I know they came from that topsoil. You never know where that topsoil is coming from or how it has been handled before you get it! Of course, that's also true of packaged soil, unless it is labeled seed-free.

Guest guest Posted April 20, 2012 Report Share Posted April 20, 2012 good advice on adding mag to the soil.  blossom end rot, seen a lot on tomatoes, is cause by low mag--and they don't even have lyme dis.  if you have tomatoes that are showing this, for a quick fix while waiting for the mag to be taken up by the roots, you can spray them with e.salts and water.  best to always add mag when you plant and avoid the problem. barbara  I bought a load of topsoil once, to fill in a low area of our lawn.
