I think that box template is on this site. There is about every shape and size box you can imagine.
Lots for using as favors.
I didn't look through the whole site for the carrot box, it may be called something else here.
Hope this helps.

Who buys radish or carrot transplants?!

Even at a good nursery they sell brands that are ridiculous now. $2.99 for one container, one cell. One brand I see is Chef Jeff. Another is Homegrown Gourmet which is not as expensive. Bonnie Plants is at least not quite as exploitive. They sell things that are absolutely absurd. Plants being sold in the last week of May that have no chance of doing well, like Bok Choi, one plant for $2.99. One plant of a Green Bean plant for $2.99. Beans... one bush plant that are lousy at transplanting for $2.99. One Pea plant for $2.99. One Brassica plant for $2.99, too late in season for many. One Corn plant for $2.99. 3 or 4 carrots growing in one little pot together or $2.99.This is just exploitation of ignorance, and you won't really get much of anything for your efforts, so it is discouraging. I do waste money by many of your standards. I buy single Pepper plants to get the varieties I want, I want many different weirder varieties. I buy 3 or 4 packs of Lettuce, I hope to get them earlier before the heat of summer, and I don't want a whole row full of the same type, I don't eat that much. I've had success buying 4 packs of Sugar Snap Peas, 2 plants per cell. Easier than dealing with the inconsistencies of early spring planting of seeds. One other thing that annoys me is the separate selling of Green Bell Peppers and Red Bell Peppers... now the ignorant are reinforced in their belief that Green and Red Bells are completely different types of Peppers, Bonnie Plants wouldn't sell them like that otherwise. It would be funny if the Green and Red Peppers being sold are actually the same cultivar. This post was edited by noki on Mon, May 26, 14 at 1:41

Danver's half long carrots
Q
Comments (14)
- my question is, could I get away with Danver's half long carrots in the conventional 6-inch box? (raised a foot off the ground) - I assume you mean your beds have a solid bottom rather than being directly on top of soil? If so, yes, you can grow Danver's half long, but not much else carrot wise without raising the profile. Of course that really depends on whether you want only perfectly straight carrots! ;-) You can grow any carrot in 6 inches of loose mix, you just have to accept that any carrot growing longer than 6" is going to look funny. Please don't be put off by building a frame to go on top of the bed though, it is really, really easy. I built mine out of cedar 1x8" lumber. I just cut the board to size and nailed it together. There is no need to worry about structural integrity as there is next to no force exerted against the top frame when filled with Mel's mix or any other lightweight medium. If you wanted you could just take an old rubber maid type tote and cut the bottom out and use that. Just set it on top of your bed, fill with Mel's mix (or simply any potting mix with compost added to it) and plant away any carrot you like.

..What are your temps. today please?

Thank you, Nik. I, too, have been a Leonard Cohen fan of many decades, and interesting to hear of connections to Greece and the fate of Marianne. His songs are so good that they provide endless great material for singers. Today it was officially 101 but my thermometer said 104. Back to normal here in Livermore, been this way all week...everything starting to look a little "peaked" (pronounced as two syllables) out there, as my grandmother used to say.

Anyone else here worried about early bud break due to extreme temps?

Alana, I'm colder than your zone so some of my experience might not apply, but once the roses (and bulbs) start growing, there's nothing I can do to convince them to stop. They might get a bit frost nipped here and there, but unless you get weather returning to the 20's for several days in a row (and that's all day, not just a brief tip in the night), you should be fine. Apparently roses when they first start growing in spring have nature's equivalent of "antifreeze" in their canes and they're more insulated against cold snaps than they are later in the season. Roses like the rest of the garden are reading a multitude of factors that you may not be aware of (e.g. day length, soil temperature, moisture), and they usually know what they're doing or can recover from it if not. As for pruning, I prune off obviously dead wood as soon as the crocus and such come up, which is before the official forsythia blooming start to pruning season. Dead wood is dead, and the rose doesn't know you've cut it until you get into live cane. If you're worried that it's too early to prune, leave an inch or so of probably dead wood on the tips, and it'll just be a haircut to the rose, not a stimulus to start growing more cane. Once you can tell that the rose has indeed given up on that cane, and you feel better about stimulating growth, you can do a second round of pruning to get rid of those stubs. In my zone, we always have to do 2 or 3 rounds of pruning to get rid of cane that was only temporarily alive in the spring, so this isn't unusual for us. Bottom line for me is I prune off dead wood as soon as I feel like being out in the garden, and then do a more detailed prune once the leaves are definitely emerging. I figure if it has leaves it's going to be subject to weather variations with or without my pruning, and I want to get it done before planting season starts. Cynthia

Also, I was making favors for a baby shower this week. We made little baby shoes out of sytrofoam cups. They are so cute.

Following are the directions I'm finding on the internet. We didn't poke any holes and lace them up, though. We just overlapped the sides over the "tounge" and hot glued in place. Then we hot glued bows on the front. I'll get one from my friend tomorrow and I'll post a pic for you. They were easy to make.

"For my shower we made baby booties out of styrofoam cups. We cut off the top of the cups and cut two slits on one side of what was left to make it look like it had a shoe's tongue. Then we poked tiny holes on either side of the tongue and used thin pink or blue ribbon in the holes to "lace" it up. Then I put pink or blue tissue inside and filled them with pink and blue M&Ms. Everyone loved them."

WOW!!! I ask and boy did I receive! I like the idea of the baby shoes even though the cake box's are larger then what I want I think IÂll use them....

But with that being said, I had to take my Mother ut of town today and spotted a new $ Tree.... and I hit the Mother load.. I found box's like I want, in the size I want and they were 12 TO A BOX!!!!! AND FOR A BUCK! but the were out of the wedding part and they are cream in color with rose/flower like designs on them . They really donÂt look that bad but I think I'll still decorate them in baby stuff.

Also, I was surfing Ebay after dinner and I came upon the 'item' I seen at the baby shower a while back. This is what Im trying to do. On Ebay they want $50.00 for it. I would post the picture 1] if I knew how 2] If I knew I wouldnÂt get in trouble
..so here is the ebay number/link so you can take a look
