Heya - good to see you on here! Can't wait to get back into your garden (or soon-to-be-garden) next weekend and get things really rolling. We'll finish getting that grass up (if you guys don't finish this week), break up some dirt,…

Charlie - Try Yellow Squash Bread. It's just almost exactly like Zucchini Bread, and is a PERFECT use for those overgrown yellow squashes. Made some last week - yummy!

Connie - Yuppers! Glad to be back out here, but sad at the same time to be SO far from Denton. LOL! Amazing what a difference a 10 minute drive makes...

AWESOME TRACY!!! Thank you, so much! Knew there had to be a yellow squash variety of zucchini bread... :-D

Connie - for a first try those are just adorable! I tried to grow pumpkins once many years ago and just ended up with moldy green ping-pong balls (I was very young, so don't know if it was some kind of pest or infection, but they never got any…

Thanks for the feedback, Charlie! Also, I harvested 3 GIANT zucchini this weekend and 2 huge yellow squash (all were WELL over 12 inches). They had gone unnoticed in the Zucchini/Squash Jungle that the garden at my old place has become. Anyways, I…

I spent this weekend moving - again. The best part is that I moved back into a house I had already started a garden at, so had plenty of clean-up gardening to do! Snagged some perennial herbs from the house I moved out of and transplanted them into…

Connie - AWESOME looking pumpkins! You've inspired me - I think I might get some pumpkin seed started now for Fall plants. Do you think that they'll do well this time of year?

Skye - Sounds like allergies to me. I'd try Echinacea. Or, if it is more like a cold, I would go with a tea made from one clove of sliced garlic, a pinch of fennel seed, and some sage. You might not think it is too tasty (I love it personally),…

Enjoy, I think it will do well as it is such a hardy plant and has tolerated all manner of abuse when I priviously transplanted it. I dug it in the summer, left it is a heap for about a week or so (in the shade, but still) then planted. It was…

Barbara - the Ginger arrived today! Thank you so much! I couldn't resist opening it here at the office - and am pleased to say that it is in great shape. I was a little concerned since it stayed with UPS over the weekend, but it look wonderful.…

Caleb J. Creel Z8 TX replied to Luci-Ann Landreth's discussion 'sweet basil' in the group Herbs

I just harvested literally pounds and pounds of it - filled a white trashbag full. Have the stems sitting in water now - hoping a few friends will come by and take some! :-) The rest I'm hoping to let root and get back in the ground here in a…

We've had everything from 85-88 to 98 and humid with a heat index of 115 her. Mostly low to mid 90's I think. It has come from an area with partial shade (dappled below some high pines). but it receives mostly sunlight. It should be…

Barbara - I can't thank you enough! Hopefully it will get here today so I can get it in the ground this weekend! What are the temperatures like where you are right now? If it is a bit cooler there than it is here, I might put it in a pot for a…

Angry Green Chiles and Bell Peppers - HELP!

Posted on June 8, 2009 at 9:20am 1 Comment 0 Likes

Hi all,

I was hoping someone out there might be able to give me some advice on my Green Chiles and Bell Peppers. I live in North Texas (Zone 8) and put in some Green Chiles and Bell Peppers about three weeks ago before we got all that rain. They started developing yellowed leaves with brown spots from the bottom of the plant up, then started dropping their fruits before they set. I thought it was a fungal issue brought on by all the rain (especially because it started at the bottom… Continue

I found some really neat plans for low-cost, build-it-yourself greenhouses I wanted to share with you guys!

Geodesic Dome Greenhouse

Greenhouse from Old Windows

Thought these might be fun projects. If I run across some old windows I am going to give second one a try. The geodesic dome is a FOR SURE.

It has come from an area with partial shade (dappled below some high pines). but it receives mostly sunlight. It should be alright with anything you do with it. If you plant it late in the day and water in well and mulch, I would foresee no problems.

Thanks for the info for the link to the old window greenhouse. It's funny, that you also include a geodesic greenhouse. 14 years ago, my wife and I were looking to put a 60' dia dome on our lot. We couldn't get the financing locally, so, we went traditional. The ironic part about going geodesic is that whatever source Microsoft used for their earthview program, they took a shoot when my 5 acres were totally barren, except for where I took the tractor and scalped the land for the shape of the dome. It was real easy to spot.
Will keep everyone in the loop when I start the greenhouse project. I am getting 17 interior and 17 storm windows from my inlaws, as they are redoing their house in VA Beach.
I am sure that this project will generate some wonderful horror stories.
Later - Ken
