Good morning ma'am, I'm from the Philippines, if I plant a saffron seed ma'am, does it produce crocus bulbs?

@GreenLove1 10 сағат бұрын
I have never heard of saffron seeds, in fact I don't believe saffron produces seeds...sorry I do not know the answer. Saffron is a specific type of crocus called Crocus sativus

Perhaps a solution to mixing plants with different watering needs on a single Tower would be to plant strawberries 🍓 in the top 2 rows, and other more demanding plants below them. You could manually water the lower plants 🪴 more frequently. 🤔

good info, this is my second year at growing from seed, i used the Texas Early Grano from Baker Creek Seeds, i live in northern AZ and i grow these seeds outside in pots all winter, they are very hardy and survived being buried in snow and many days of rain. you are right about many not growing even though i planted about 160 seeds, i currently have about 100 that are growing, next year i will try to plant them closer together, right now they're about 1" apart, and also i will take your advice and fertilize more. last year's onions turned out absolutely delicious and grew very big. it was also my first attempt at curing the onions which worked out great. I'm also planning to save a couple onions and let them go to seed for next year. Thanks for all the info

Check out the Black Friday sale at GreenStalkGarden.com Of all the things in my garden, my GreenStalks have probably brought me the most joy. As I always say, "Everything grows better in the GreenStalk!' And and the thing that I love most about this Black Friday sale is that shipping is free with no minimum purchase necessary. This is huge because I have been meaning to buy spinner bases, which don't usually meet their $150 minimum for free shipping to the lower 48 states. Also everything is 25% off on the website! Here's a neat trick. If you need to get to spinner bases with wheels, just buy one for $45 (25% off the original $60 price). Then buy just a set of wheels for $15 which is $25% of the original $20 price. Then use the code on page 27 of the digital download magazine had to check out, and it will add a free spinner base. So now you get 2 spinner bases with wheels for the original price of one($60). I needed 4, so I did two separate orders, you can use the magazine code multiple times as long as it's in different orders. Isn't that cool! By the way I think the spinner base is a required accessory for the GreenStalk. Check out my video on the most important GreenStalk accessory: kzbin.info/www/bejne/hl65no2oataGicksi=rSp7MXKBZNMT7pUr (also linked in the video above) As of now, I am not even an affiliate - just a HUGE fan, so I gain nothibg other than the feeling that I am supporting an All-American family business, run by some of the nicest people!

I planted green beans last year in my entire tower but then it rained, rained…. and rained and was hot and humid here in Texas. My beans got ‘rust’ and I ended up having to pull them all out. I read up on it and rust affects beans that are higher off the ground like you find with the climbing beans. I’m going to try it again this year because a tower of beans would be awesome. This year I planted a whole of dwarf okras that turned out awesome. So my towers this next year will be one tower of okra, one tower of green beans, and one tower of stevia, and the fourth tower will be a mixture of chard, celery, lettuce, and a few herbs.

Squirrels have wreaked HAVOC on my garden this year. Fortunately, they are easy to exclude if you really set your mind to it. I have created several planters that are now squirrel-proof, and my Fall garden is thriving. Rats are still a menace tho, and they are so much harder to control. I am sure this trick will work for you. Make sure to plant the seedlings as soon as you see the tiniest little tails emerging! Good luck! And btw, you can skip the freezer step, may take a day longer just on your kitchen counter. They should germinate in 4 days flat!
