Wow, the broccoli looks great!
What's your average daytime high temperature? I tried to grow broccoli once, and it just all flowered out in no time.
Like jelly beans
Hi, James. I like your post here. I have a question that I hope you can answer. I am taking a earth science class right now and it has me so interested. This winter, I want to try to grow a pepper plant inside my dorm room. Is this possible? It is just for fun and would like to see it take off over the winter if it would work. What do you think? Thank you
Any suggestions for planting in pots? All I have is a slender Florida room that gets sun in the afternoon. I haven't had much success with anything except these hearty plants that I just haven't found a way to kill. >.<
Thank you! I'll give it a try!
No radiator under or near my Florida room, btw. ^_^

NOTE: The sweet potato was grown in the compost pile I made back in July. That is in the pile of crap I covered with sand. No other fertilizer.
Very good!
With your carrots...Do you suffer carrot fly at all? I have to grow garlic and spring onions near my rows to deter them. I'm not big on using pesticides if I can arrange it so constantly looking to find ways to deal with them otherwise.
Are you leaving your Calabrese in the ground still or did you pull it already?
I don't have a carrot fly problem.
I expect to harvest broccoli (calabrese) in about one week. The florets expand about 1/2 inch per day. I usually harvest at 9 inches.
This thread is pretty amazing. ^_^ I will definitely be stopping in more.
JAMESBJOHNSON, how big do the carrots get?
Not sure how big the squares are on your lovely table cloth. I'm curious because I've noticed that the grocery stores around here have these bags of pathetic carrots that you have to use two or three to make a meal.
My local produce market (I shop there mostly) has these great big carrots that you could beat somebody to death with. They look like they should be the same type of carrot, so I wonder if it's how they're grown or if they are just pulled at different stages.
At some point, I'd like a garden of my own. For now I'll just read about having a garden.
Did you plant in stages or will you crop all of them and store them (Here in the UK its a pain to store them.)
