think Christmas gifts ;)

my dad used chicken manure on his fields, 900 acres. He gets it dried or fresh, doesnt matter. Puts it on when he tills and thats it.

correct me if im wrong but I know that in my garden a flower doesnt mean pumpkin all the time. I dont know if they are male or female.

ive had pear pie and pear crisp that was excellent. just slice them off around the core. I just remembered, my gram chopps them up and makes a pear relish, so good! but I havent a clue how she does it. you wouldnt believe it, great on burgers and steak. this sounds like it might be close...

the other reason to control weeds is so you dont step on the fruit :mow

i transplanted my watermelon last year and got so many seeds i couldnt eat them. they were 75%seeds and 25%flesh. Someone told me that could happen if they were tramatized which I contribute to the transplanting.

just got blueberries, my son had such success drying apples last fall we wanted to try some blueberries. we'll try them tonight.

i usually try to get out as early as i can, evenings dont work for me because my kids are home. This year I was going to try laying a couple layers or newspaper in between rows to stop weeds but didnt even get much planted. with some things like my corn and pumpkins I just didnt worry about...

i love love love them in mashed potatoes, i also roast them with a venison roast.

maybe there are variables, on that list it says you cant grow apple trees and lilys near the black walnut and we have them right now. the walnut tree is bigger around than 2 of us can reach and the apple tree has been there at least 40 years.

i never heard of this before i came on here. All I can say is under our walnut tree we grow ivy, day lilly, iris, tulips and some kind of trailing vine i cant identify, wild raspberry and alyssium (sp?) Its a huge tree on the edge of the bank.

oh...thats gonna be some good watermelon :D

once they turn black they can be peeled but DO NOT do it by hand. It stains everything it touches. Most people lay them out in the drive way or grass and walk or drive over them for a few days to get them off. Then you have to let the black stuff left on them dry up, maybe a couple weeks...

we've always called them tiger lillys but they are wild. they grow all over here, if you have an area you want to fill up use them. they will take a year or 2 to flower after you transplant them.

if i remember correctly, early fall they will fall off and the green will turn black . but we let them lay in the driveway for a few weeks to get the yucky stuff off and dry out. And you do need a heavy hammer and a brick to crack them.

I just wanted to add, keep an eye on it, it may turn out to be an old standard apple tree like I have. They are small and green right now with just a couple with some red spots. But my yellows are still green.

i dont know the name but they sound like the wild ones ive seen around here, come back every year along the roadside.

even if it all doesnt produce, like you said, they are learning from it and probably very proud they grew it. I learned nearly everything I know about growing crops from having a garden when we were young and thru osmosis from living on a farm most of my life. Kids love to grow things and I...

like corn they like the daytime heat and night time cool. They can grow several feet in one night. I got mine in very late and I doubt I will get anything from them Its only going to be in the mid 80's here today, but feeling like 100 because of 80+ % humidity. :th
