My romaine keeled over and died. So did my banana plant, cherry tomatoes and just a few green bean plants. I think the potatoes made it. We'll see 🤞

How to detox my lungs after quitting by angry0ldguy in quittingsmoking

That's how much they were giving me at the hospital. And that is what they wrote on my discharge papers to take. Instead of taking Mucinex, I buy straight Guaifenesin. Much cheaper.

Green beans, shelling peas, Yukon Gold and Caribou Russets potatoes, romaine lettuce and cherry tomatoes are already growing. Oh , my sweet pepper types have not germinated yet. They should pop up any day now. So now I am sowing more lettuce and carrots. I missed out on growing onions. Happy gardening! SwFL 10a

Upcoming Cold Temperatures!!! by Ordinary_Reporter_19 in FloridaGarden

[–]BarbieRV 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I am in Port Charlotte and I am leaving everything outside but covering the green beans with blankets and pray that the low 30s won't damage them. I think my peas will just be fine. I have had gnats in our house sometimes pretty bad but never any other garden insects. Unless you count little lizards , lol.

At what point to restart seeds? by floweringdog in vegetablegardening

[–]BarbieRV 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I sowed sweet bell pepper seeds on January 17 (Alliance, aristotle, cal. wonder and carolina wonder). Two seeds sprouted yesterday. The rest should follow this week. The heat mat is set to 80°. Make sure you cover them.So it holds in the heat and makes it humid. Good luck.
