2012Portal - Mayan Beyond 2012 User ID: 15022013 Netherlands 03/29/2021 03:26 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I regrew carrots and celery last year for my garden. Worked great because we have a very short growing season. Quoting: LaGata I tell you, that celery was the last to die. It was a robust looking plant, and yielded so much delicious celery! Good luck w/ yours, hope it does great :) I've been thinking of growing some celery. Interesting how hardy it is. Celery in the supermarket is often half rotted and bad quality, at least here in The Netherlands.

They are doing well. Quoting: Crunch62 I also have a bed with perennial potatoes growing. They don't get very big. Would like to learn more about growing potatoes. I come from a family of farmers. You can also take a potato, find each eye, cut the potato so that each eye has some of the inside attached to each one, then either put in water suspended with a few toothpicks to keep it just above the water in a container, glass is the best for this, or if you want to plant just make sure that the eye is facing upwards. The one eye will grow into a full grown potato plant producing many. |

You can get multiple plants from one potato. |

I wonder (I'm not really a gardener) if that would protect it from birds, squirrels etc as well. Last year my cat protected my plants from predators as he was a mighty hunter, but alas, he perished on Christmas Eve (of all nights). So I'm on my own with the plants this year. Quoting: PresidentElect BlueStateRebel I’m very sorry about your kitty! Yeah, I think they really grow faster than seedlings. I keep mine in the kitchen... they’re growing... https://imgur.com/a/OimNI4o |

Quoting: Turd Ferguson, Jr. Most anything of the genus Allium is indestructable south of actual tundra zones. That's onion, garlic, and most anything else that grows from a bulb and stinks. Chives make quite attractive ornamental plants that you can eat. They produce numerous blue flower heads. They also propagate very well from seeds. Oh, my... I saw chives seeds and didn’t get them... would love to have those blue flowers in my kitchen. Thank you for mentioning this... They can be blue or more of a pinkish lavender. I think it depends on soil acidity or something like that. Here's a link to some pictures. [link to www.almanac.com (secure)] https://imgur.com/a/RDJa6RZ Oh my gosh!!! The flowers are so beautiful and edible!!! And they are perennials... I’m definitely getting them! I love pulling apart the flowers into separate little flowers and sprinkling them over salads. So pretty! JTR |

User ID: 77682635 United States 04/01/2021 06:26 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I live in central Fl and last year I constructed a garden plot using 8 4' diameter 2' high galvanized steel drainage pipes. At the end of last year we planted collard greens, red cabbage, white cabbage, Brussel sprouts, Carrots, Leeks, Swiss Chard, cauliflower, Red Romaine lettuce, Spinach and Celery. My wife has done some replanting of things in the past, mainly garlic and onions and it has done okay, but not outstanding. The garden exploded with stuff, we had so much we had to give a bunch away. Our freezer was full of Beef we bought for the ranchers we back up to on our property so didn't have a lot of room to add stuff. Gardening is fun, but it is a lot of work as well, especially when we have so many other things to take care of. Crazy thing is where we live there is a chance of frost tomorrow night, if the wind is still. Never before in April have I seen it get as cold as they are saying. Anyway just my 2 cents.

Well, LM, it came from the Depression era, I'm thinking. Folks then had very little, so they didn't WASTE anything! They repaired, resewed, and didn't throw away something that could be fixed back up, so then you didn't WANT for things.... Hope that explains it. |

User ID: 79436619 United States 04/01/2021 06:52 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | By the way, for your experiment try putting a few celery and lettuce directly into water (like in a bowl or glass). Quoting: LaGata I have tried the dirt route, and the really good ones I grew last year were water-started and when they got about 5 inches tall I planted them. If you try please let me know which ones turned out better for you! But then you have to move them. Maybe you don't have to if you add hydroponic food to the water. We just ordered some of that from Amazon. But for now we're moving them to a mix of dirt and compost we made in previous years (don't use new compost, it still has a fungus in it). If you wait too long to move them out of the water, the base can rot. The trouble with growing oniongrass is that every time you cut it, it regrows smaller. Just the inner layers grow up. .

Just stick it in water and it will grow roots, for new plants. I share a lot of my plants with friends by rooting cuttings. For the perennial growers, have you ever heard of a thing called Nine Star perennial broccoli? I am growing it for the first time and was curious if anyone had any feedback. Hoping for success in Texas! Last Edited by Madroot on 04/01/2021 06:56 PM |
