I am far from an expert gardener but I always plant carrots and beets and radishes and root stuff in the fall and it does good in winter. Surely ya aughta be seeing lil green shoots by now. Are ya watering? root stuff like damp soil, not wet. not dry. Is it possible your seeds were old or dead? Dont give up yet water it down with miricle grow or something and keep an eye on them. Gardening is alot like fishing and it aint all roses thATS WHAT MAKES SUCCESS all the better

Well I took a picture a few days ago with the intentions of uploading it on here to show what little growth I've had, but like most things it slipped my mind. I'm glad I took the picture though. After the rain today I came home and noticed that the plants were looking a lot better. I didn't realize how much better until I compared it to the picture I took a few days ago. I'm getting excited now.

Thats a heck of a difference Matt. A little bit of rain can really boost things.

Only bad thing about the rain here yesterday were the squalls that came w/ it. Wind wreaked havoc on my tomato plants as they are taking off and getting tall. Even though I tied em up, the high winds did some damage to some of the branches.

This isn't a garden, but it's amazing what a little rain will do. This is the same field pictures taken one week apart a few years ago during a drought.

2014 Garden
1 tbsp. miracle gro, 3 tbsp. Epsom salt to a gallon of water.
Doesn't get the sun it used too since the nearby tree's increased in size. Micro soaker hose aids in water during hot weather. |

AUBREY,,,,,I used to get blossom end rot and since i started covering my row with 3 to 4 inches of leaves after i plant i haven't had it in nearly 20 years....coincidence maybe but it sure ain't hurting......And i don't rake leaves . Just wait for people to bag them for garbage to pick up and throw in back my truck. They do all the work.....

Right there with ya bubbba, I jsut opened 4 big lawn and leaf bags of oak leaves and mixed them with some horse manure(partialy composted) and filled our new 4x6 raised bed. I added half a wheel barrow full of n ight crawler infested compost and hope to check back this fall when it should be ready to recieve some fall salad greens etc. True the 2x12 lumber cost me a few bucks but it will last for years, and was free to fill. We also use the leaves someone else was nice enough to bag for us as mulch in other places

Cappy, or any garden guru's, I think the spot in my garden were I plant my cucumbers is infected with photothium(sp) fungus or bacterial wilt. I do plant them in the same spot every year, lost 6 plants so far planted 3 plants twice, all wilted and died within a few days. Without moving spots, is there anything I can do to treat the soil to prevent this.

Not that kind of medicinal herb.lol.
This bed has fever few, cat nip, echinacea, vervain, comfry, and lemon balm. I think there's one more but I cant remember the name. That's my wifes department. I just move the dirt and dig the holes where she tells me to. |
