Everything is in raised beds with organic soil. I will try watering more. They do say that raised beds require more watering..... I just thought I was watering enough.

Is it the wrong time of year to grow cabbage and lettuce? I have some planted but it is not growing. Its not dying either, but it is not growing. could it be too hot? I am in north carolina.

the plants look great. the leaves are nice and green, no stripes. They are just really short. the tallest one is about 2.5 feet. the rest are way smaller and they are tassling out also. The stalks are nice and sturdy. And I was worried about them shadowing other plants!! Who knows, maybe they...

They are in a raised bed. They are maybe 5 inches tall. It just seems strange... my cucumber plants are small, but they are starting to produce...so are my zuccini. And everywhere I read said tha zuccini takes over! And then there is the corn that is tassling out and most of them are less than 2...

How tall is okra suppose to get, and when do you harvest? I got seeds with no instructions. they are growing, and I think they are starting to develop....but they seem small to me. In fact, everything I am growing so far seems to be smaller than it should be....maybe I bought mutant shrinking...

:/ my potato plants are starting to yellow , and they look like they are dying. Only one plant flowered, the rest did nothing. Do you think that they have produced anything?? When do I pull up and start to look? They have been growing since around end of April. :idunno

Thanks for the great advice. I was wondering what to do when the melons get heavy. I will be trying this with cantalope, watermelon, casaba melon, ans cucumbers. I am excited to see how it turns out! That hoop idea sounds good too... I am guessing the idea would be that once the vines are...

Has anyone else tried doing this with melons? I would like to try this with my melons. Pictures would be great if you have them. Thanks!

Thanks. :( I will look into repellents....but I really want to stay away from as many "chemicals" as I can. My cat was always an indoor cat until I moved here. Then for what ever reason he would do what ever possible to escape. On one of those occasions was when this happened. He must of been...

:bun :bun: bun I am concerned about bunnies.....last year, what little flowers I had were consumed by bunnies. I had a cat that would escape outside, and that took care of the bunnies in the back, but he rarely hung out in the front yard so they went to town there. Now I don't even have him...

I am also concerned about bunnies.....last year, what little flowers I had were consumed by bunnies. I had a cat that would escape outside, and that took care of the bunnies in the back, but he rarely hung out in the front yard so they went to town there. Now I don't even have him for protection...

Hey I joined!! Now if I get even half of the good advice I got on BYC then I am already off to a good start!! I am actively looking to see if I can find a green thumb. I am trying my hand at gardening this year. My dad used to garden, so there must be a gene in there somewhere...its just a...
