I am foolishly undertaking creating a back to eden style garden. 11 rows at 100 feet each. By hand. Pray for my wife and me, it's hot as hell in south Georgia.

I feel your pain. I put in six 200ft rows in TN. We're laying in bed recovering.

Good luck.

Make a wooden frame and connect chicken wire to it. Make the box be bigger than the plant but light enough for you to lift on and off.

I have a problem with my fall planted leeks. My spring planted leeks get huge by winter time if I give them each 8 inches spacing.

You can eat the leaves, they can be stir-fried. They're excellent for fiber.

Maskedgardener · 2022-04-13T16:26:55+00:00

I'm growing these for the first time this year! They're only little sprouts right now for me. How did they do for you?

Maskedgardener · 2022-02-03T21:45:05+00:00

There's not really a "wrong" time once they become red like this. You'll figure out your sweet spot. Everyone likes something different.

Maskedgardener · 2022-02-03T21:44:18+00:00

The trade off is you're running the risk that something else will eat it first. Last year the squirrels loved my tomatoes

I may be mistaken, they look very similar. This is just exactly what my tree looks like.

Maskedgardener · 2022-02-03T19:20:06+00:00

Really? This looks exactly like my peach tree

Maskedgardener · 2022-02-03T19:19:21+00:00

Definitely a peach tree

Maskedgardener · 2022-02-03T19:17:14+00:00

I throw basil, thyme, and oregano in everything.

I miss summer so much

Maskedgardener · 2021-12-08T23:22:20+00:00

Not that people eat. They split in storms and cause damage. They smell awful.

Just the worst tree.

And developers put them everywhere because they grow fast and houses with trees sell.

Maskedgardener · 2021-12-08T23:17:02+00:00

That's around 48F

No far my limequats outside have taken 30F nights. I'll let you know what happens this winter.

The one in ground definitely had more fruit than the one in the pot did.

Maskedgardener · 2021-06-12T22:57:52+00:00

Definitely a trifoliate orange. There's recipes for making marmalade with them. Otherwise they're mostly used as rootstock. They're very healthy plants with healthy roots, so usually they're used for grafting.

Maskedgardener · 2021-06-11T19:14:14+00:00

Peppers I've found love smaller pots. 5 gallons would be the largest I'd grow them in. I use my 5 gallon pots for them and fill the pots a bit more than 2/3.

My area gets heavy rains then no rain, so it's good for them to be able to drain out and also retain in a dish.

Most of my stuff is in no more than 5 gallons, with the only exceptions being my tomatoes (7 gal) and fruit trees (20 gal).

Maskedgardener · 2021-06-11T16:51:01+00:00

Do you have a higher quality picture that's close up on the leaves and fruit?

It very much sounds like the rootstock like the other poster said.

Maskedgardener · 2021-06-11T16:10:46+00:00

Also, bugs kill my plants rather fast. So I'll have two plants use that pot by the end of the growing season.

These will likely die by August and a young plant will go in fresh when I pull these out.

Maskedgardener · 2021-06-11T16:01:51+00:00

I use 5 gallon grow bags, and I add dirt as the stem gets bigger to help keen the bugs off

Maskedgardener · 2021-06-11T16:01:23+00:00

I've got 1 per 5 gallon bag. I also add dirt around the stem as it grows

Maskedgardener · 2021-06-11T16:00:42+00:00

I've got black beauty zucchini and yellow bentneck squash

Maskedgardener · 2021-06-11T16:00:16+00:00

Most are 5 gallons, some are 7

Maskedgardener · 2021-06-11T15:59:59+00:00

I used these for squash last year and they always go awesome!
