HAVE: growing seeds and gardening helps.my mental illness

11 years ago

I had a post on here about myself which I thought I was supposed to do. Explain why I like gardening and I couldn't figure out how to putwhat seeds I did have which are few. But I thought by being able to get some seeds I would be able to grow and have lots of seeds to trade when they started flowering. I did not mean to offend anyone at all. I have tried offering here and there things that I do have which is basically a bunch of merigolds. I was going to collect seeds and grow them and put all seeds I get from them back on here. I wasn't asking for charity just if anyone had extra or out dated seeds they did not no longer want that I would be willing to take them instead of them going into the garbage. I just started gardening and it really does help me. Those who responded I am grateful for our new found friendships. I do have marigolds if you would like to trade and a few clematis seeds given to me by my neighbor. Thanks

Go outside right now and turn on the water. You should have been watering three times per day and not missing a day. Breakfast, lunch, and dinner are good times to water. Water for 15 minutes each time. Once the grass has been mowed at your mower's highest setting, start to back off on watering. Ultimately you want to water only once a week in the heat of summer. To do that you will need to water for an hour or so to get enough water deep into the soil. In the summer I water once a week for 1-3 hours per zone. The rest of the time I water every other week. Did you roll the seed down? If not go out and walk on every seed you can see. Don't jump up and down on them, just step on them. They need to have good seed-to-surface contact. Walking on them provides the perfect pressure.

Vegetable gardeners! What do you have growing this fall?
Q

People say keepIng it simple this year, and I laugh. Keeping it simple is when you garden outside of AZ. Anything here takes a tender hand and a watchful eye. I LOVE hearing about all of these varieties!! This is awesome! I have jalapeÃ¯Â¿Â½os and serranos, lots of swiss chard, romaine, and butter lettuce. I started up another zucchini, and an acorn squash, along with several varieties of cucumber. Oh, and bell peppers of course, from spring plants - those are finally coming into their own, along with about half dozen eggplants. LOTS of eggplants!! Interestingly, my concord grape is fruiting this fall. It already produced this spring, and I didn't realize that it would re-fruit for me now...!

Well, I don't think I'll be growing white pumpkins again...
Q
Comments (6)
We grow a couple different varieties of white pumpkins each season and have grown Lumina....they can be a little touchy some seasons and we stopped growing them and moved onto better. Some of my favorite...Cotton Candy...they are nice round basketball sized pumpkins that grow on semi bush vines. We have grown these each year for past 6 yrs and always get good production. Also last year we began growing a white pumpkin called Valenciano...they are nice creamy white pumpkin that will get to be about 10 -12 pounds. They have quickly become my favorite and are pretty easy to grow and you get quite a few pumpkins off each vine. So don't give up on the white pumpkins...there are some better varieties out there. One thing also we have found that growing them next to corn or tall grass gives them the protection they need from the sun scorching them. Can find seeds thru Johnny's Seeds, Rupps Seeds or Reimer Seeds...

Have: SASE seeds for small scale garden
Q
Comments (20)
Hi. I know this post is closed but you do sound like you can help me. My kids (7, 5, and 2) are trying to start a small garden in South Tampa, Florida. If you have any suggestions on what plants we should grow and when to plant that would be great. I'm just looking for some guidance since I know Lowe's and Home Depot don't really know what they are talking about (I worked for both at one point or another.) Thank you for any assistance.

Got to; http://www.gardenhoard.com/
Click on Free seeds, the Free SASE Seeds. you can sign up for the free newsletter, but you can select 8 different seeds, they will send you 6 and you can order again after a month. The instructions ask for a SASE with 2 stamp. They usually have about 5 pages of 15 selections to chose from. The other nice thing is they send them in those little plastic envelopes that are so handy when you share with others. I just put a slip of paper inside when I use them to send to others so they will know what they are getting.

I found one more website http://wintersown.org/wseo1/Six_Pack_SASE.html
It does require you to print out the page to send with your request. But they will select your seeds that they will send you.
