Which garlic variety should I grow?
Comments (2)Before I move to Seattle, I lived in North Atl. suburb(N.Fulton) and grew garlic 3 seasons. The last season I had over 100 plants. Believe it or not, I planted store bought (Asiatic Artichoke ). And I got pretty good results too. I bought some hardnecks fro Kroger, some sofnecks from Asian Markets.. I am sure , if you find a local grower, and buy seeds from him, that'll even better. Anyway, I used to plant early to mid October....See Morewhich dwarf peach variety should I grow?
Comments (10)How dwarf is dwarf? Most peaches are rather small trees - somewhere in the 10-15' range with maturity. 'Frost' and Oregon Curl Free' are rated highly for this area as they do not require a lot of heat to produce good crops and both tend to be very disease resistant. The true dwarfs - selections like 'Bonanza', 'Honey Babe' and 'Pix Zee' (5-6') - are grown more as ornamentals here. Unlikely to develop good crops and subject to the typical peach disease issues. Lovely floral display, however....See MoreWhat variety of edible ornimental peppers grow best in 9b FL?
Comments (9)Ok. Seeing this thread has convinced me to try a couple of Ornamental Peppers as well to keep over winter next year. Looks like Masquerade, Chilly Chili and Medusa are good ones from PanAmerican and NuMex Twilight, Tri-Fetti, Starburst and Bolivian Rainbow are some of the best from Tomato Growers Supply. Window-sill and 6'in pots would be fine for these? Maybe even bring one or two to work?...See MoreHot Hot Peppers not growing
Comments (4)I would say they are hotter than is optimal. Being on the floor which is even hotter could be pushing them too far. Getting them raised off the floor sounds like a good idea. I just looked at your weather forecast (Bend, OR) and it looks like a great stretch of weather for peppers with lots of sun and low 80's to upper 70's for highs although it is going to be pretty cool nights in the mid to upper 40's. I think maybe they will start to take off in the next few weeks. My super hots have been doing really well the last few weeks and we have been mid 80's and some 90's. But our nights don't seem to cool of nearly as much as yours. We typically stay in the lower 60's at night this time of year. Bruce...See Morewestes Zone 9b California SF Bay
