    One Alaskans greenhouse

    It will be no consolation to you to know it is world wide, not just your neighbors. And no one cares. I have customers who are a huge bee keeping company in Florida.Every summer they visit Massachusetts with their bees, release them at the farms, collect them, and return to Florida. They said if...

    Bell Peppers in flowering stage

    I would not do that on all. I plant a lot of plants. How many tomatoes and peppers do really need. Though I still have a few bright colored peppers in the freezer.

    Bell Peppers in flowering stage

    Remove the flower at the upper most crotch of the plant. I have read leaving that one reduces flowering. I always do it, I don't know its it really works. It probably got from Organic Gardening.

    Can you clone tulips?

    I just read one way is to take cuttings and use routing hormone. I find that hard to believe. You can grow the seeds, but they will not come true. Tulips produce bulblets but I have never seen a bulb do other than reproduce itself. Obviously there must be a way that the pros do it.

    Seems like there should be an easier way. No one better ever call you lazy.

    Amaryllis

    I am going to guess you kill them with kindness. Too much water. Perhaps poor drainage.

    Amaryllis

    I cannot imagine that you killed them. If the bulbs are hard they should be just fine.They seem to regrow when they feel like it but do like when the spring gives them a bit of warmth.

    Amaryllis

    Yes. With their shoulders above the soil. I love them in pots and put them out for the summer. I rarely repot unless the soil shrinks.

    Seed starting-Tiny Marigolds and Zucchinis trying to grow flowers?

    I no longer buy much in the way of plants- I grow my own. One thing I did learn was to never buy plants in bloom. They seemed always to be weak and stunted in the garden.

    Amaryllis

    You may remember from an old post that I hybridized Amaryllis bulbs many years ago. I had potted them all up together and left them that way for any years. Last summer I repotted the whole lot of them, giving some of the small lingering bulbs more room and a better chance to bloom. Some bulbs...

    Winter indoor tomatoes

    Another note. The tomatoes were not any sweeter than grocery store tomatoes. A quick google told me Epson salts in water would improve their sweetness. It could be that we were too anxious to pick them and they were not red enough. A professional expert I know from a local forum said ES was...

    Winter indoor tomatoes

    I think that I forgot to show you these. I have 3 toddlers that are often with me or stopping by for a quick tomato. I grew potted Veranda tomatoes by Burpee the last few years. It is just to get a head start on my garden crop. Well the little ones love to pick them and pop them in their mouths...
