Leaving a dead/dying yellow leaf on a plant serves no benefit to the plant, NONE. Either the plant struggles to keep the dying leaf alive or, the leaf is dead already and serves no benefit what-so-ever to the plant. My experience has been that even though production shuts down on many plants...

Phil; They are really large for a Serrano type. The thickness sure will help out with the sauce issue. I never grew Serranos before because they were always available and cheap at the supermarkets. The problem is, they don't always have them red/ripe. And, everyone here prefers them when ripe...

I just had about 90% of my stomach removed the week before Christmas. It has had the craziest effect on me. I CRAVE hot stuff now! Being of Cajun descent, I always liked it spicy. But now, compared to before, my tolerance has quadrupled. At first, my stomach protested with severe pain. Over...

I bought over a thousand ladybugs 15 years ago during a terrible aphid outbreak. By evening the next day there was not one ladybug to be found in my entire garden area. But, there were still millions of aphids. Two years ago, a friend-of-a-friend got his fall garden covered with aphids. I told...

Mycorrhizae penetrate into the root. The part that extends out into the soil is able to "digest" minerals that exist in your soil, that the roots cannot metabolize. The mycorrhizae then feed these minerals into the roots. This is not opinion, this is fact. However, if you don't believe that...
