    TheEasyGarden?

    Hello gardeners! I see that there is a site called TheEasyGarden, and I'm intrigued by it. Since it is considered a sister site to BackYardChickens, does that mean it is run by the same people that manage this site? Do the forums and threads work the same way? Thank you for your time,

    Protecting the garden during a heat wave?

    As I'm sure many of you are already well aware, there is a major heat wave across much of the US for the next week or so. So my question is, are there any good ways to protect a garden from being damaged by the excessive heat (foliage damage, dehydration, etc), or should you just water it as...

    Is this an Aphid, Spider Mite, or other Garden Pest on this Tomato Plant Leaf?

    When we were in the garden today we found this tiny white bug on one of our tomato plants. Does anyone know what it is? My best guesses are an aphid or spider mite. These were the best photos I was able to take with my camera (the bug was very small). P.S. There does appear to be a green aphid...

    When is it too late to plant Peas in Zone 6 for Spring Harvest?

    I was wondering until what date is it OK to direct sow peas in Zone 6 for a spring harvest? We're running a little late on our pea planting, so I was wondering if anyone in Zone 6 (or a similar zone) could share when they would say is the latest you can plant them for a springtime harvest? Thanks,

    Companion Planting

    Hey everyone. With the gardening season quickly coming upon us, I was thinking about companion planting. We did a little bit of this last year, but I didn't apply it very thoroughly in our garden layout. We planted our tomatoes and peppers close together, as I heard nightshade plants do fine...

    Gray Tree Frog

    Hey everyone! We recently got a Gray Tree Frog, and I just want to clear up a few things about caring for her. I posted this on the "Reptile Lovers Thread!!", but thought I'd start a thread on it, as well. We currently have her in a 10 gallon glass aquarium with a screen lid, but we plan on...

    My friend was telling me a few days ago that her chickens at some point had knocked over a wooden board. When she lifted it, she found it had crushed one of her chickens to death (she's moved the board at this point). 🙁 Yesterday she noticed one of her chickens looked injured, which she...

    South, East, or West?

    As some of you know, I'm interested in growing various (fruit bearing) plants indoors. I've been reading up on locating them near a sunny window.

    I saw both of these varieties on rareseeds.com but am unsure which to choose. I've never grown micro dwarf tomatoes before, but I might experiment with a plant on a windowsill. Not sure if I'll even try this, but I'm curious which you all like best.
