I honestly like bindweed.
It's easy to identify and easy to hand pull even in dry soil.
It creates a lot of lightweight biomass you can put back right where you just pulled it.
Shades roots well.
One of the first spring growth getting a fast groundcover.
It let's lazy gardeners know its time to weed with pretty flowers.
It surprising doesn't smother cultivars when overgrown.
Its better than thistle, mallow, or whatever nastier weed might grow there instead.
I want to grow vegetables over winter and was wondering what would be the best way to go about it. I do not have a green house. Have any of you grown vegetables over winter? What was your experience? What vegetables did best? Did you have to provide some form of protection?
The title please.
Sunday July 12, 1-8pm. at the corner of N lidgerwood and E crown.
will have summer planting starts- okra, squash, herbs, cukes, beans, and greens.
will have some propagated trees in tree pots you can baby through the summer and plant in the fall.
some potted plants to be outside all summer then go indoors for the winter.
also: strip lighting, irrigation items, grow bags, and other gardening or growing things both used and new.
I'll have things pretty cheap, since we got this Great Depression going on.
will be doing one more this year for fall crops, in late August. if there's things you'd like for then, let me know.
Hello!!
Im 16 years old, in Highschool as a now Junior and I have a question regarding my future career. I’m really fixated when it comes to Greenhouse work and gardening, though I have no experience with actually working with flowers or landscaping work, unfortunately only housework(which I haven’t even done since 3 years ago besides taking care of my two plants I do have). I’m also not too smart in the science department but I do honestly want to try botany, or atleast something in that department, and I even have started on my resume so I can get a job at a bookstore since they do have a bouquet section that they tend to, and grow themselves. I’ve even have an extra curricular class, agriculture, and ive changed my science class to Meteorology(I believe) so I can learn the evolution of the earth and how it grew from then-on. Sure it’s not completely how plants grow and such, but either way I am quite fascinated in the earth itself.
Now the actual question, how do I grow my career to actually getting into botanical work? Is there any specific things that would make my resume basically glow, look more eye-catching, etc? I’m sure I can try to do charity work to help grow my experience, but what I’m not sure is if my legal guardian could take me from and back everytime, since I’m also planning on joining a sport, roller derby in the meantime, plus my mother takes my sister to her job during weekends. I genuinely really want to work on horticulture, maybe more around the floriculture department but either way I’d still love it, and I really do wanna pursue my career in it. I might also move to Europe eventually, so I’m also not quite sure the payment in euros someone would normally get, or even if there’s many greenhouses around that get good pay, even around Oklahoma. Is there anyway someone could inform me of what steps I should take, how I should move forward, maybe even what college classes I could take in the future and just any advice at all?
I’m genuinely really curious about this, I really want to work in this industry a lot. Thank you !!
(End of June/early July. In containers)
I'm a little concerned for my peppers... 🥲 I just transplanted them last week!
I've had success with lots of veggies but what would you all recommend starting from scratch with onions and garlic?
20% off at the Bi-Mart in Cheney! They already have some of the lowest prices. Main supplier is Creach greenhouse in the Valley.
emerald okra, bush beans, summer squash, nz spinach, orach, marjoram, and a few small "herb garden in a pot" setups.
I'll have a lot left over to sell if anyone needs any. i always start too many things, starting from seed is my favorite thing.
