This is great! Originally I was just trying to find something purdy to cover up the fence with, and now, I can actually grow something productive on there!?!
I'm Excited! I'd kind of like to try pole beans, is there any certain good variety? (I was thinking Blue Lake or Kentucky Wonder)
Would...
Growing season is starting up around the country, I would love to see more people on here.
I think one of the easiest things to do would be to put a link to this site on your signature over on BYC, if you are over there too.
Any other ideas?
:D
I looked into both Hops and Malabar Spinach, Hops sounded good until I found out that they can be poisonous to dogs, which I definitely don't need.
I might look back into Malabar Spinach, it said that it can be invasive, but I don't think that would be too much of an issue.
Does anyone else...
Does anyone have any good recommendations for a vine that would grow well on a chain link fence? It would be nice if it could cover the fence fairly well, and it would be really nice if it would look nice by flowering or fruiting.
:woot :clap
Congrats! Are you the highest poster here?
I just checked, you aren't. Yet. Give it a couple of days, you will make it there soon. :lau
:celebrate
We are supposed to get cold/snowy weather here too, (in Ohio), I had some bush cherries and some small peach trees that were just starting to bud out, so I wrapped them in newspaper. It is supposed to warm up after tomorrow, so I will probably take it off then.
I just did some quick research on this. It says that the seeds can be kind of hard to germinate, and the trees won't bear fruit for 7-8 years. :th
A quick Google search may be able to help you grow the seed.
I started some seeds (tomato, eggplant and ground cherry) and they are now starting to sprout. I planted 3-5 seeds in each Jiffy Pellet. How do I thin them? Just pick out the weaker plants and toss them, and keep the strongest plant in the pellet? How big should they be when I do this?
Thanks!!
That is a really interesting idea, I wonder what plants you could or couldn't grow in it.
You could probably grow leafy greens, flowers, carrots?,
Do you think it would be big enough to grow tomatoes in?
