I just got my fenugreek seeds, and they dont say if they are annual or perrenial, and I am not sure where to plant them. ANyone ever grow it?

I think I planted mine in the first or second week on April and I am just now seeing them today. And they havnt all come up yet.

I have potatoes coming up! I am very excited, this is my first time growing potatoes. I am also growing peas for the first time. I was outside planting onion sets and some flowers, but it is SO hot today, I thought I would go back out tonight and try it when it is cooler. I am also going to...

I have heard you can eat it fresh. I thought it was kind of bitter, but they were big leaves. Maybe if you pick them small they would be better. I cooked it like spinach. It was SOOO good! And it turns a emerald green color, very dark and rich, not ugly and brown like spinach. I also...

Great Idea Wifezilla! I am planting poppies, globe thistle, blanket flower.... DH says I am planting WEEDS. I say, maybe that way they will survive me!! :lol:

I also found a lot of books about it in our library. I am in Southeast CO, And I know exacly what you mean. In fact my Mom says it is impossible to have flowers here. I am setting out to prove her wrong, but so far, havenot been able to. :)

I am hoping to set out my tomatoes, peppers and zucchinis ( I know that is not spelled right...brain fart....) today. It is overcast and cool. But I may not get around to it, it is so much nicer to stay inside, :lol:

AAAHHHHH Tha makes more sense..... I read that and have always thought that sounded like a lot. I read it when I was reading about saving rain water from your roof.

Becasue corn is a CROP not a veggie, so you plant it outside in LONG rows, and then you harvest it with a combine..... lol I have a farming hubby too, and he always asks why I over-think this stuff so much.

The problem with watering every day is the roots will not grow deep. You want to water deeply, and then wait, and then water deeply again. Especially with corn, which tends to have shallow roots anyway, and is so tall, you want to encourage those roots to go as deeply as possible to anchor...

I am going to try zinnias, cosmos, marigolds and mexican sunflowers. I am SOOOOO hoping I can do it... i tend to over-think things, so I am trying not to think about it. :lol:
