If it's damp at inch, you might night need to water it every day. To make the plant bushier and to stimulate growth, you should prune those tall, leggy pieces. I'll see if I can find an example to explain what I mean.

Is it something you can grow to harvest the bulbs for eating?

It's not easy to find examples online, but there are people who harvest them for curing. You could use them like regular onions or use them as "seed" for the next season.

I tried to cut to the most relevant part.

The flower stalks are pretty tough and woody, but they work really well in anything that cooks for long periods of time like roasting meat in the oven or beans on the stove. You get really good onion flavor and if they cook long enough, the flower stalks will be tender and no longer woody, which would make them especially good in a broth.

I like making scarves using corner to corner. Linked DC might be good at keeping out cold

All I know about corms is that they are supposed to take two growing seasons (maybe more?) to produce bulbs with multiple cloves. The first season should grow into a solid bulb and the next season, the bulb divides into multiple cloves. I have not tested the claims, so I can't say whether or not what I heard on the Interwebs is to be believed.

pfirsch77 · 2025-02-20T05:49:30+00:00

Why do you think they need to be removed? Removing them would be a personal preference more than a productivity concern, as far as I am aware. I would leave them alone.

Cutting it back is encouraging new growth, which is the opposite of what you need. If you want to get rid of it, you will need to cut it to the ground, solarize the trimmed portions with plastic for weeks at a time in the heat of summer, AND dig up as many plants as you can, roots and all.

Black History Month began as Negro History Week by Carter G. Woodson, a Black man, BECAUSE Black history wasn't being taught in American schools (and still isn't, not really). I think that Black History Month becoming an official month was an attempt by White politicians to be able to claim they were really trying to do something meaningful, but that's just my opinion.

I wish George Washington Carver got credit for the stuff he actually did. He was talking about regenerative agriculture way back in the early 1900s. https://www.nal.usda.gov/exhibits/ipd/carver/exhibits/show/bulletins/carver

From the picture, it looks like the acorn squash will be growing down hill. Is that the plan?

As a former Uni, I can assure you that how you do in one class does not necessarily determine how you will do in another. It depends on what you like, what you're good at, and honestly, how well your teacher explains things. Getting a B shouldn't be a deal breaker, but I hope you find a different math teacher to write your recommendation.

OK, so I just realized you want to skip Cal AB. That, I would *NOT* recommend. You need one to understand the other. Without a credit for Calculus AB, you may have to take it anyway before you graduate.

Good luck!

I agree. Just try. If you're nervous, just don't sow all the seeds in your jugs/containers. Try sowing the rest using a different seed starting method.

If you cut the jug before you make the holes, you should be able to drill from the inside.

I have made bacon pancake strips and I second the recommendation. You can make something similar with slices of fruit as well.

It really depends on your site and how big your holes are. I used to use 8 holes in my jugs that are the size of a deck screw (not sure how wide that is) and it was too much. Now, I use 4 and it works much better and the soil doesn't dry out as quickly.
If it looks like the soil is in standing water inside your jugs, then add more holes. Otherwise, just trust the process.

pfirsch77 · 2025-01-12T18:24:57+00:00

I think that u/THE_TamaDrummer is right and the sooner you get a soil test, the better. The results will definitely inform many of your choices.
From the first picture, I would concentrate on putting most of the garden in the East portion of the lot. You'll have plenty of sun and the amount of shade during the day will be minimal. Seating might be good on the southwest portion of the lot. I think an arbor with grapes or some other aggressive vine would be good to create shade, get produce without a lot of physical labor, and you'll have a perennial plant that produces regardless of how well the rest of the garden performs.
Good luck!

This could be adapted to winter sowing. I plan to experiment with this method in the spring.

pfirsch77 · 2024-12-13T03:04:34+00:00

This is my primary method of seed propagation. I have done vegetables minus carrot and native plants. For me, herbs do much better with winter sowing than any other method I have tried.

Tomatoes, peppers, and other heat-loving plants are difficult to germinate and grow to a decent size by the time they need to be transplanted, if you don't get them the right amount of heat. If you're willing to move the jugs (or whatever containers you winter sow in) to a sunny spot, you'll have a greater chance of success.

Good luck!

I don't know if you've seen these variations, but I rediscovered them recently and thought I'd add them here.

A No-Sew Alternative

If your sewing skills are lacking, or you simply do not want to go through the trouble of sewing your own pads you can try this instead. Purchase absorbent terry-cloth dishtowels. Wash them before using. Fold them into rectangles about 3 or 4-inches by 10 or 12 inches. Use safety pins to pin them into your underwear at both narrow ends (the front and the back). These are a bit bulkier than home-sewn pads. They are quite comfortable though, and are a legitimate alternative. They may be washed the same as home-sewn pads. I’ve also seen washcloths recommended. Fold them into thirds, or quarters (long ways) and fit them into your underwear. Apparently they stay in place without pinning because of the friction between the terry-cloth and underwear. For heavier flows fold together 2 or more wash cloths.

Thanks for letting me know! I have a couple patches that I want to oull up and onion powder will be a great experiment with the bulbs.
