    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...

    Is growing 30 Hopi Turquoise Corns ($5) seeds or 75 Mini Blue Popcorn ($4.75) seeds a better plan?

    I want to grow some blue corn in the future and these two varieties caught my eye. I was originally planning to do the Hopi Turquoise but was shocked at the price ($5 for 30 seeds). I plan to buy only one pack of seeds from one of these so I'm trying to decide which one makes the most sense. How...

    Patio/container trees in Ohio?

    Yesterday while at TSC I saw container patio trees for sale in the varieties of olive, citrus, and kumquat. The label said that you could bring them in during the winter due to their very small size ~6 ft - 10ft. Has anyone had success with patio trees? Thank you.

    Has anyone grown strawberries and bachelor's buttons together? And what about carrots?

    I am considering growing my experimental strawberries in a separate area than our main garden. These strawberries are from store bought strawberry seeds I harvested so they are most likely a mystery hybrid. I was wondering if anyone grew strawberries and bachelor's buttons together along with...
