All garlic. Cooked garlic is probably worse.

Alright - entirely new reason to make this recipe: After COVID, my wife has a parosmia that makes garlic taste horrible to her. Unfortunately this recipe uses enough garlic that removing it will offset the flavors and reduce the mass of the recipe. Is there anything I can add in for filler or...

Only problem I had was that a few were too close, so some were robbing space from others. Two of my plants got really stunted, so I'm going to give them more space and make the beds a bit deeper.   I didn't think about using it for shade cloth, that would be handy in July & July. It's really...

Alright. So, as expected, didn't work out well. Inexperienced as I am, while I don't know for certain that these plants aren't coming back next year, being able to bend the stems and having them feel weak and hollow makes me think I'm starting over from ground-zero. Also, those spots look like...

 The material is just regular old visqueen from home depot, or polyurethane basically. Nothing I want to use long-term because it will break down eventually, but it'll last a couple of months until things stop being so cold. I painted the PVC because apparently bare PVC and poly sheeting don't...

So I started my first raised bed garden earlier this year. Multiple mistakes were made and my plants didn't get as big as they could have, but I got enough peppers for a few hot sauces. Now I need to overwinter them. I should have posted this and started more a while back, but work has been...

So glad I thought to look at this before another attempt! Didn't realize I needed to de-seed half the peppers. This time around, doing a lot more peppers (180g) all from my garden... which I realize I haven't posted up here since I had the planets in solo-cups.

I now have my first peppers as well, a few Tabasco and Dragon Cayenne.   Most are tiny, but some are an inch or two or three long. Is now the proper time to pick them to increase yield, or should I wait a bit longer? I have a couple dragon cayenne that are turning into decently sized bright...

Transplanted them all today in this mix, we will see how they do. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Long question made short: What grow media should I be putting in my Solo cups? A lot of the guides are nearing a decade old and pic & links are often broken.   I already have a bunch of plants in solo-cups with the Kellogg Raised Bed mix, but they've been like that for over a month and are still...

I was curious as well so I started looking things up for it, too. There wasn't a lot that was too definite from what I saw, but some people suggested it might be overwatering, if you aren't letting the soil dry before rewatering that might be it. Some said too much light, some said too little...

Getting read to start a raised-bed setup, but I have a problem: The hardware stores nearby seem to be all sold out of raised-bed mix. I was planning on using the Kellogg Raised Bed Mix, but they're out nearby. What they have a lot of is Kellogg Container Mix and various raised bed soil. From...

Okay, I was starting out real light with the fertilizer, but I wanted to give them something because a couple looked to have a calcium deficiency (including this pictured).

So, some of my little guys are doing real well and starting to show their second pair of leaves, so I'm doing something right... ... but I'm still doing something wrong. Some of them are still curling quite a bit; watering them once every two days (waiting for the soil to be dry before...

I did notice that it seems to dry out quickly, even when I didn't have enough drainage, but I might just not have watered it enough, initially.   My overnight arrangement to keep them out of 40 degree weather and to give them a few more hours of light posted below: Question, is it better for...
