    Vertical Gardening: A recent new interest of mine.....!

    It is an interesting concept, and I have read about it before. What I saw was mainly pushing it for big sky scrapers in large cities. How would the plants be harvested? It would be kind of neat to have an entire side of your house covered in flowers though. I am a big fan of roof top...

    I don't know what that is.... "Garden Bean/Silver Line Melon"

    I give up!

    It is hard to describe, I have been weeding, both the weeds and carrot seedlings are small, but the weeds are growing faster, and it is getting hard to tell what is carrot and what is weeds. I might try the carrots somewhere else. I am definitely looking for a green bean type where you just eat...

    I give up!

    ... With carrots. The carrots grow so slowly and stay so low to the ground that they are getting over taken by weeds. I think I will put bush beans in their place. Do you have a recommended variety?

    seeds or plants?

    Everything in my vegetable garden (as well as in my flower gardens) was started from seed. Some was direct sown and others I started inside first. I like growing from seed because it lets me know Exactly what goes into the plants from which I will eat.

    What does "Savoy" mean?

    Thanks for the responses! I'm glad that it is hardy, because I planted this batch later in the year, and I wanted it to be able to stand the heat.

    What causes red leaves on Strawberries?

    Well, I just spent a while researching this, and the only thing that I could find about it is that it is caused by cooler weather. Has the weather been noticeably colder lately?
