Those damn squash bugs!!! Sure would be nice to tell us how to fight the squash bugs… No matter what I did last year I couldn't get rid of them!!! I Iive in Owasso, Ok. Also it would have been nice to tell us when to be planting the seeds???
Lol I have 900990putt
Ok, props to the lo-tec Bluebell container to keep the seed in (You a REAL one), but a plastic photo box looks good and allows you to an "at a glance" look with your seed. Also, 2006 and 2009??? Bruh, more than 3 years and good germination is doubtful. Thanks for all the tips though.
Thank you. I learned alot.
Is it safe to grow Datura in your garden??
Winter sowing is all the rage now on YouTube and this is my first year to try it here in OK. I think this would make a great show! I appreciate it when people give actual dates when they start things and when they transplant them, rather than “this week.”
