Hey Thanks for the help. I was thinking of buying sume rubber made or some type of glass containers to store the plant food in. I plan on keeping them in a dark area so no light will hit them.

thank you very much for the help.

haha rape seed soil. now thats funny.
thanks for the info on what you use,

It's called Promanal-R by ECOstyle the product.

It has Rape Seed Oil and Pyrethrinen in it. Rape Seed is a massive crop in Europe (big yellow fields, I am sure you have it in the US as well.) Used for many different types of applications.

Looking very good MacPurple. can't wait to see an update.

Sub

rape seed = canola doesn't it? they look awfully similar. (imagine my surprise when i asked my hosts "what's that yellow stuff?" "fields of rape, honey, fields of rape")

I believe that is correct mellokitty.

"And that there field is good old Pillage, dear".

Looking good all around everyone

oh is THAT what the periwinkle blue stuff is called? lol (j/k, but srsly, what is *that stuff called?)

Possibly Borage (which I have never heard off until today I will admit) Another oil producer...

Here's what I have to offer.

Dead corn starting to come back but fresh seedlings are on pace.

Also some cucumber coming up.


Peppers tomato bean seedling coming through and basil babies.



Compost attempt.


Sunflowers


and cantaloupe with watermelon staring to come through.

Sorting out my tomatoes...



So there you have it.

looking good whodat, glad the garden is coming through for you. the corn that was dead and now coming back looks like it has a new shoot coming out of the ground to be the main stock, if it is i would cut off the bigger almost dead ones once they get a bit bigger

First of the tomatoe "Tasty Tom" flowers.




nice tom trichomes. should be a decent little harvest from this lot i would say. can't wait.

peace

So quick question, my garden I planted outside, I guess I didn't dig up the grass well enough and its coming back in some spots*damn*.

is there anything i can put down in the winter time to kill all the grass but then plant veggies in that same spot in the spring, something organic possibly,?

thanks

Dst are you from the netherlands?

You could cover it in a tarpaulan or just some black sheeting. That will stop anything growing over the winter I would guess. If you continue to have issues then keep the tarp down and just cut holes where you want to plant and only the plants in those cut holes will grow. As a suggestion.

And yes I am in the Netherlands.

I have been three times, twice to amsterdamn and then went to alkmar once a couple years ago. Beautiful country ya'll have over there. Luckily the coffee shops were still serving out of towners

Thanks chronic, I think it'll be a long time before the coffeeshops stop selling to out of towners (well in Amsterdam anyway) To implement it will be a nightmare, it leads toyet more grey areas in how things are run. hopefully the christian democratic part will not make it back into power.

nice flowers D. mine are starting to flower as well, looks like they are only a few days behind yours.
i had to stake them up last night cuz they are getting so big now.

i also have been noticing a lot of bird shit on my tom leafs. i was gonna wash it off cuz it looks nasty, but then i thought to my self, if its not harming the plants than it should be helping. i figure once it dries and breaks down on the leaf it kinda becomes a small foiler feed pile of shit. i dont know if it works but im leaving it alone, they dont seem to mind it at all.

and chronic i would do what dst suggested, also pull any grass you see and be sure to get the roots. how ever if you are gona be watering from above and not from a drip line of some sort then watering will be hard, as the only soil showing is where the plant stock is, i would get the.
i would get landscapers fabric, it is easy to use and can be buried under neath a few inches of soil so it doesn't show, it doesn't let weeds grow up, but plants above it roots will grow through it, and it allows water and air to move through the fabric as well

i hear ya on the grass, i have about 25 x 50 that was lawn until 2 weeks ago, holy weeding nightmare batman! i was working on it last night and i was pulling up a whole black cloning tray *overflowing* with grass roots every other row. and now my seedlings are starting to come through so i can only pull the ones i know *for *sure are weeds.... *sigh*
i remember reading somewhere that peas and beans are good groundcover for overwintering your garden, i'm gonna try planting an army of kale and radicchio once my summer/fall crops are done.

Beans and peas are vine plants, how would they make good ground cover?
