Q&A

How do I start hardening off my fall seedlings?

To start hardening off fall seedlings, you can place them outside in a shaded area, like behind or between herbs, so they don't get a lot of sun and are protected by the shade of the herb plants. Begin this process by gradually exposing them to outdoor conditions, starting with just a few hours each day.

Should I cover my plants to protect them from pests?

Yes, to protect your plants from pests like the cabbage white moth, you can throw some tulle over the top of the plants. Covering the beds with tulle after planting out is a standard practice that helps in keeping pests away from the plants.

Why are my peppers much bigger this year compared to last year?

An improvement in the soil mix that you used can impact the size of your peppers. If you changed to a mix containing Kellogg soil, black cow, and added perlite, this could have resulted in larger peppers as it may improve soil quality and plant growth conditions.

When should I harvest amaranth seeds?

To determine the right time to harvest amaranth seeds, you will need to research or check when the seeds are mature. This typically happens once the flowers have bloomed and dried, and seeds are visible and seem to fall easily from the flower heads.

Can sweet potato leaves be eaten if there are no sweet potatoes?

Yes, sweet potato leaves are edible and can be a good harvest if the plant does not produce any actual sweet potatoes. These leaves can be cooked and prepared in various ways as a part of a nutritious meal.

How do you deal with garden pests like squash vine borers and squash bugs?

While many gardeners may opt for pest control measures, some prefer letting their plants grow without intervention. If you're like the latter and avoid pesticides and excessive control measures, accepting some damage and focusing on the produce you do get is an approach. Those who prefer to take action may leave comments with tips for others seeking pest control methods.

What are some of the best tasting sweet cherry tomato varieties?

Sungold tomatoes are repeatedly mentioned as being particularly sweet and delicious. Other varieties like sun peach are also sweet but not quite as sugary as Sungold. Super Sweet 100 is another variety that is sweet, though not as sweet as either Sungold or Sun Peach.
