    Can i plant pop corn near eating corn?

    I think all problems relating to corn are appropriate. We will need the information eventually. There were crows watching me plant my corn and beans... I expected to come back to nothing. I did buy a huge case of Irish spring soap to chop up and put into the vole trench that I dug all...

    Got the garden all planted....

    It has to be above 84 for me to even think about allowing them to turn on air conditioning. I guess it is what you are used to. It is 66 here now, and I am cold. My son wants to go to college up north. I hope he can handle the cold. He doesn't even wear a jacket down here. Young metabolisms...

    Got the garden all planted....

    come on down. I had the best gardens in south Florida, They have muck that can grow anything. You have a garden from September through may, then you don't bother, you go to the beach. But the trick is finding a yard big enough for a garden and the mango trees, and might as well have an avocado...

    I have nice dark soil for the first foot then it is yellow sand. There are patches of sugar sand around and about, but you can usually tell where it is by the trees that are growing there. Hardwoods have nice soil, scrubs have white sugar sand. And the pinewood flat lands have dark soil with...

    Unexpected Popcorn

    Mine is called "mimi colored popcorn'. i got it from Pinetree garden seeds. The small white pop corn was delicious, small but very flavorful. I can not find it anymore, and can not remember the name. )Which makes finding it even harder.) http://www.superseeds.com/seeds/mini-colored-popcorn.html

    Can i plant pop corn near eating corn?

    Yes. It affects flavor. The books say plant sweet with sweet and non sweet with non sweet. The luffa watermelon looked just like water melon but was very tough with thick fibers. Chicken food...but they had a difficult time with it. It is 'mini colored popping corn' I wanted some for decoration...

    Can i plant pop corn near eating corn?

    I think the cucumber watermelon cross is a legitimate thing, and I have had luffa and watermelon give me tough watermelon. I have never understood how the pollen can affect the ovary, but it does. I think I will do bantam in the spring, and pop corn in the fall. My problem is I do not get two...

    Moles. Grrrr. Other than blasting the ground with a semiautomatic weapon...

    I know people love cats. And I even love some people who love cats... I have even met a cat I liked because it thought it was a dog, but in general, I'd rather just wage war on rodents than have a cat. I'm not a hater, just an avoid-er.

    :( I am starting to feel badly for the little things. Maybe I just need to seed the tunnels with vole birth control and let them die out.
