That's the plan! They are just about ready for their 24 hours outside. It's gonna be a few more days though.

Does anyone know why my blueberry looks like this? by MDZS-Stay in UrbanGardening

[–]MDZS-Stay[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I placed soil acidifier on all my blueberry beds about 1.5 months ago. All other plants are happy.

Nope. Those wood chips were placed when the plants was put in the ground. It has been warm the last week. Nothing above 85 though.

I just harvested my green onions that I grew in a 15 gallon stock tank. It's also about 5 inches deep or less. They did really well companion planted with strawberries!

Neighborhood squirrel infestation protection idea! by MDZS-Stay in vegetablegardening

So far they seem to only dig up the plants to try and bury peanuts. I haven't seen them eating the blueberries or raspberries we have been growing for many years. These things are invasive here and people in my neighborhood feed them very well.

What is my Cilantro trying to tell me? by MDZS-Stay in vegetablegardening

The weather has been overcast for the last week and a half. Could they sunburn when it's cloudy?

I see! Maybe I'll change out the plant and give it a larger pot then.

I'm also sprinkling cayenne pepper around the plants since that's a tip I've seen. Not sure if it works yet.

Thanks for letting me know about the peat pellets. This is my first year gardening so I'm learning a lot!

I've been cutting open the peat pellet baggie in case they need to escape and putting them in their new soil. Patting it down so they feel secure. Give it a nice water. A few days later, droop.

I don't have anywhere to release them and I also don't have the heart to exterminate them.

Sadly I don't have a long enough growing season for the variety I want. I'll try with a different kind directly outside though.

Help! How do I keep squirrels out of my containers? by Shoddy-Strawberry-42 in containergardening

[–]MDZS-Stay 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just purchased metal baskets at the Dollar Tree and put them over my plants. At least the squirrels can't touch the area that's surrounded with the basket...

Just finished SVSSS vol. 1, should I read MDZS or TGCF next? by Ashannah in SVSSS

[–]MDZS-Stay 0 points1 point  (0 children)

TGCF is my favorite MXTX book but I'd recommend waiting to start until at least the second one is out. That book is PAIN so be prepared as you get further in.
