Use Zip Ties to Support PlantsZip ties are inexpensive and come in a variety of lengths. I use them to attach my plants to my chain link fence, tomato cage, or pole support. It keeps the fruit from rotting and also stakes them so they don't steal the sun from other plants.

Easy Way To String Tomatoes, Cucumbers, or Green Beans

Easy Way To String Tomatoes,...One of the most difficult parts about gardening and growing your own vegetable is stringing them up to keep them off the ground. A lot of people will use a garden trellis or pole to keep their green beans, cucumbers, and tomatoes off the ground. However, I find that making an open A-frame enclosure works best.

How to Grow Gorgeous Bell PeppersBell peppers are easy to grow, nearly pest and disease-free, and they produce a lot of yield in a small amount of space. You can either buy transplants locally, or start seeds yourself. Here are the basics of what you need to know to get started.

A trellis with wood poles and rope, for training beans.

Simple Pole Bean TrellisOur kids planted pole beans this year and we needed a simple trellis for the beans to grow on. My husband found some pieces of 2x2 wood, leftover from another project, and cut 3 pieces to the same length.

A plate and bottle

Protecting Tomato SeedlingsI used to place each plant into a paper cup that had the bottom cut out. I now use the red plastic disposable dinner plates. I cut a round hole in the center with a slit cut to the edge of the plate. Then I make 4 cross cuts around the circle for the round trellis to poke through into the dirt.

Questions

Picking Zucchini

Picking ZucchiniI am probably being stingy about wanting as much zucchini as possible from one that I pick and I let it get large, but not yellowed or wrinkled.

Male Flowers on Zucchini Plant Not BloomingMy zucchini plant female flowers are blooming great, but my male flowers haven't bloomed yet. I know the males need to bloom so the females can be pollinated. Any reasons why the males might not be blooming yet?

Growing Green Peppers - two potted plants on brick wall

Growing Green PeppersI think these are green pepper plants, am I too late in the year to get peppers and shouldn't I have yellow flowers first?

Zucchini Plants Growing SlowlyI planted new seeds in the middle of May and for some reason the leaves on some of the plants are thick. I got my first flower on one of them today. I have never had this problem. I rotated, bought good seeds, added horse manure, fish emulsion, and milk, but nothing seems to get them to sprout up more.

Planting Potatoes in a Cardboard BoxSeems I recall reading in ThriftyFun years ago that any kind of seed potato sets could be planted in a cardboard box filled with dirt, watered, and later in the season harvested by tearing the cardboard box away. Does anyone remember just how that was done?

Growing Collard GreensDo I need to cut collard greens at the top with flowers growing in the middle or leave them.
