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.

Growing Celery From Kitchen Scraps - celery growing the garden

Growing Celery From Kitchen ScrapsWhen you are finished with the bunch of celery, put it in a glass of water to root. Then put it in a pot with potting soil. When it gets bigger plant in the ground. Water it regularly and you will have celery.

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.

DIY Green Onion Garden - large green onion tops

DIY Green Onion GardenI love having a never-ending green onion garden, especially on the cheap. I recently got a huge bag of green onions at the shop for 50 cents. Some of them were starting to wilt at the tips. I used the dark green parts in some recipes, and soaked the roots in some water overnight. I then planted them.

Questions

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?

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?

Easy to Make Trellises for Pole BeansI want to make an easy trellis for pole beans. Does anyone have any ideas on how to do that? Also, I need to make supports for zucchini squash. I have heard that you can use tomato cages for this. Will this work?

Growing BeetsHow do I grow beets in Georgia?

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.

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?
