To give you can idea, these are bush beans, capsicum, carrots, eggplant, lettuce, onions, peas, radishes, spinach and tomatoes.<br /><br />Makes sense because my bush beans are doing great even though they are not in a very big pot. I'm not so sure I agree about the radishes. I think they take up quite a bit of space. I finally ended up moving those out of their container and into the ground.Cami Pelozahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11978102879776008502noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4674325956647353401.post-34993334452058084352009-06-06T10:38:06.525-07:002009-06-06T10:38:06.525-07:00I just read this on another blog.

I'm no expert but I'd say that over-crowding was maybe an issue - much as you hate to do it, you gotta thin. Same deal probably goes for pots as in the ground, the plants just need more space to develop roots and be happy.

Not necessarily the best time for a garden, but gardeners never really have a "best" time do they? It's more than 310 urban gardens located in a roughly 4-square mile area. It's free, no tickets required, self guided–start & end where you choose. Maps of the gardens are free, as are shuttles around the area. Many of the gardens have appeared in national gardening magazines - from Garden Gate magazine to upcoming features in Better Homes & Gardens. <br /><br />Visit www.GardenWalkBuffalo.comJim/ArtofGardeninghttp://artofgardeningbuffalo.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4674325956647353401.post-1283590119139054552009-05-27T11:16:37.542-07:002009-05-27T11:16:37.542-07:00Wow, how exciting.

I know Matt's sister uses straight vinegar on the hard to pull weeds (like the ones in between pavement and in gravel). She seemed to think it did work. If you test out different solutions please post a comment and let me know what concoction you think is best. I'd love to find an alternative.Cami Pelozahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11978102879776008502noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4674325956647353401.post-82507130030140901742009-05-27T11:02:13.069-07:002009-05-27T11:02:13.069-07:00Definitely worth a try but I'm not sure how effect...Definitely worth a try but I'm not sure how effective it really is. Maybe do a small test spot and see how it works. I think Preen is easier and works better but I've never tried the cardboard myself. A friend of mine tried it and felt it disintegrated too quickly and wasn't worth the effort. He taped the cardboard pieces together and said he's still pulling tape out of the garden when he weeds so I wouldn't try that! Also, I think you might still run into the 'show through' problem.Cami Pelozahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11978102879776008502noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4674325956647353401.post-43284168666203451222009-05-27T10:56:20.308-07:002009-05-27T10:56:20.308-07:00I've also read some things on natural weed killer ...I've also read some things on natural weed killer solutions, the main ingredient being vinegar and supplemented with other things like: dish detergent (to help solution adhere), salt, bleach, hot water, even gin.

Have you heard of laying down cardboard, newspaper or shredded paper instead and then mulch on top of that?

I am a hand puller too. I think it was all the weeding I did as a kid. It's just in my blood. Good to know about the timing on the mulch. We just put some down last weekend. What kind of mulch do you like? We did a 50/50 mix of compost and bark. It's a nice dark brown color and looks great around the beds and isn't so splitery when you're weeding and planting. <br /><br />Blue star creeper is great. It spreads fast but definitely doesn't get out of control and is really easy to pull up if it goes somewhere you don't want it. <br /><br />Thanks for letting me know about the gluten.Cami Pelozahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11978102879776008502noreply@blogger.com
