There are no bizarre temp zones in my garden.  It is very safe to assume that no micro-climate exists here that would perennially kill one group only 10 feet away from another group of same-kind that perennially survives.  I doubt that this theory applies within 10 miles of each garden around...

Grow more sweet peppers.  You can eat them non-stop.

History is filled with tragedies of failed crops.  The potato famine was caused by a fungus.  We read many instances of locusts/grasshoppers destroying entire nation's crops throughout antiquity.  The Boll Weevil nearly destroyed the entire cotton industry word wide.    In the early days of this...

Whenever plants are "wilting", that is an indication that they are transpiring (sweating) faster than the roots are keeping them hydrated.  There is absolutely nothing wrong with giving your plants a "foliar drink" when they show this stress.  Much like a cool drink or wipe-down for us, during...

Robisburning;  That would be great information!  It would be great if folks would list their success with plants that survived temps down to say, 35 degrees and list the ones that didn't survive the same temps.    Gnslngr, a member here, lives at almost the exact same latitude as me.  He wrote...

Hey Mike Most of your dragonflies have much thicker tails and many different color patterns than the ones we have here. I live right next to a large canal. On the other side of the canal is a levee that keeps the marsh/Gulf of Mexico from re-entering our homes (hurricane Katrina 12 feet in my...
