    The only thing I have had to fight are hornworms. I live in OK. However, last year I planted basil and marigolds in grow bags with sweet cherry 100’s and never had any problems. My husband hated the tomatoes growing up and falling over so this year I’m experimenting with a single stem or two and a long wooden stake that I continue to wrap the vines with velcro tape. I have covered them with 40% shade cloth. Crossing my fingers!

      She does, I just saw her this morning. We have found lots of rabbit nests over the years. Mother rabbits only come to the nest once or twice a day. They stay away, so that predators don't notice the nest. Their milk is very rich, so once or twice a day is enough for the baby bunnies. Unfortunately, my husband has also accidentally hit some nests with the lawn mower.

    • @ChristasGarden
      @ChristasGarden 15 днів тому

      The question that can't be answered by me, lol. It depends on your temperatures, rainfall, humidity, how quick your soil drains, mulch or no mulch, container size, age of your plant, etc. Just don't let your soil get bone dry and don't let your plants wilt too much. Knowing when and how much to water is something you will get better at with time.

I have squash plants that are producing tons of male flowers & (so far) very few females. I've been taking the males, putting them in a sandwich bag, & refrigerating them. Will they be viable for a few days or hopefully even weeks?
