Hi how do I grow strawberry from seed what kind of fertilizer do I used for strawberry
Please dont put urself next to a bunch of AI people its so scary
Wow
When to single stem? Do we wait for the flowers?
Do you direct sow tiny tim in the pot or start it in the seeds starting tray and then transplant it?
Sounds awesome Kim I well definitely be planting everything you Mentioned
YES!!! I LOVE the SunGold and keep it trimmed like you said. Wow, that’s a great tip about growing the peppers close to each other to keep them protected from the heat. Makes sense… good tip! Your nasturtium is looking gorgeous! 💙💚💛🧡💜Liz
I planted a second sun gold to try the single stem method. 🙂
Thank you !!!
My buddy has some extensive gardens and he had some Sun Gold tomatoes last year that No Body could stay away from! Addictive variety if you like pop em in your mouth goodness!
Love all this garden talk and can’t wait to get into my garden this weekend. 💚💚💚
