A month and a half or so ago, I created a thread asking what all of your favorite heirloom tomato varieties were. Since then I've gotten lots of great information on growing tomatoes, and you all have influenced us to purchase seeds for several more promising tomato varieties (such as Black...
I saw both of these varieties on rareseeds.com but am unsure which to choose. I've never grown micro dwarf tomatoes before, but I might experiment with a plant on a windowsill. Not sure if I'll even try this, but I'm curious which you all like best.
Recently I've been having a septoria leaf spot issue with my tomato plants. For most of the growing season I've had no trouble with it, but in this last month or so most of my tomato plants have caught it. I've been trying to trim off all or most of the diseased foliage, but this is quite the...
I'm getting into pot gardening this year! I've gardened in beds and raised house plants and mint in pots but this will be my first time raising tomatoes, cucumbers, squash, etc. in containers.
Please give advice, share your experiences and what you're trying this year, and simply chat about...
Hello!! I am a relatively new plant mom, I've been getting serious about this since about January and have a nice little collection now. They just brighten up a space!
I have a Bird of Paradise I bought from Home Depot 2-3 months ago, I just finished treating it for spider mites (my first time...
I’ve been trying on and off to grow cacao seed with the same issue every time. They always develop some kind of fungus or mold. It gets to their center and kills off the taproot- rotting it off.
I’ve never had this problem with other plants and I grew these as I’ve grown any other.
In fact I...
Y'all... My husband is a magician!!! Last fall my husband and son were able to do some salvage work on a building that was going to be demo'd. They pulled studs, and plywood and screws and nails. There was some steal siding and peak caps laying behind the building. I put some ideas down on...
Thought id post of my glass gem corn harvest!
I wanted to plant corn in my garden for about 7 years and FINALLY got around to it this year.
Some of them ended up as sweet corn hybrids so instead of saving those I just cooked and ate them after harvest, pretty good meal I'd say!
I harvested...
Hey mates 🖐
I have a few random threads I update time to time, but thought it'd be nice to have a catch-all thread with no specific focus. I find myself checking BYC at work each morning.. so Good Morning BYC and welcome to my cup of joe ☕☕☕
With a lot of help from Back Yard Chickens in the last two years, our flock is happily thriving. With your design help, we submitted plans for our coop and received extensive direction redesigning. Here is a video of the process and build, safety measures as well as an update on my little...
Hi guys. I’m 3 months into having chickens & I was wondering how to use their dirty poo bedding. Does anybody add the used bedding to their garden in the fall and then till it in when spring arrives? I use pine shavings. How long should it compost before adding to the garden? Thanks in advance!

We have a garden that had produced very well this year. In fact, it's our best garden in 6 years and two homes. I have a real passion for growing food we can eat. It's always great to have a salad fresh picked form the garden or cook a meal with fruit and vegetables, and even meat, harvested...
