One thing I've learned about maters is that for me they do best when they don't get FULL sun especially at the height of the summer. I plant them in the backyard so they get most of the early morning and afternoon sun, but not much of the evening.
As for peppers, they can tolerate full sun. You can either prepare a large area of soil, or you can prepare just the hole for each plant. Remove the soil where the plant will go, mix some of the soil with fertilizer, potting soil and then use that new soil to back fill.
I like to start from seeds with most everything. But you could start off with seedlings too.
Mixed bag. I've had some problems with predation. Curse those rabbits!how's yall's gardens doin this year so far?
I'm with you. I put bigger gauge wheels on my deck to add some height. I also never put any chemicals on the lawn, neither herbicides nor fertilizers. Spreading toxins in the environment just to select grasses over broadleaf plants just rubs me the wrong way. As far as fertilizer and water... I have what I call a Darwinian lawn. Survival of the fittest! We have Creeping Charlie and purple violets and later in the summer some dandelions.Besides the garden, out here in Az we REALLY appreciate a healthy lawn. I started following this site last year, and it's made a world of difference! http://www.richsoil.com/lawn-care.jsp
Try it out, you've got nothing to lose, except poisoning your family with herbicides and pesticides.
I never gardened before, I live in the city so I thought I would try the square foot garden method in a raised planter (5'x3')and 3 tomato buckets. It is going gang busters crazy, way ahead of my neighbors. They want to know my secret!
My magical secret, go up to the guy at my local garden center and say I am growing a garden this year and don't know jack sh*t about it, I need everything from dirt on up, what do I do? How do I maintain......The 1 thing I bought at Home Depot is the only thing that is doing marginal.
My secret is for brethren only!:tape:
