I tried the cover crop idea one time. I got my butt kicked. Cover crop grew well, but I couldn't get it established quick enough to beat out the kochia. I still catch hell about that idea. I never tried Winter Cereal Rye. That might do it. I'd probably need to hit it with Dicamba in Febrary or March to make it work, and that scares the bejesus out of me in a Garden. Kochia |

My neighbor has a really nice fig tree that is on the backside of my garden. Beautiful looking trees when they are producing fruit.

Yeah, my SIL got me started on the fig trees and they love this soil. I have three really large ones now and hope for it to be six by next fall. |

Dicamba has way too long a life in soil, never use in a garden...They tell me the key to cereal rye is let the plant head and bloom then weed eat and it will not comeback. Kochia is the shit....we have bindweed in two beds thanks to wife going to a Kansas Nursery that had it in potted plants...

Bindweed is a bitch. When it pokes through get yourself a tip and some undiluted glyphosate and paint the leaves. I just pick up the vine and play it like a guitar. Bindweed is the bane of my existence. |

You ought to give the straight glyphosate painted on the leaves a shot. We've had good luck here. |

Most tomato plants will stay alive until a frost hits, which then kills the plant. Indeterminate plants will continue to grow and grow, like a cherry tomato which gives me multiple harvests of tomatoes during it's life (honestly had 200+ tomatoes from it last year). While determinate tomato plants will grow to a certain size and stop. Would love to see some pictures of your fig trees if you get a chance.

Another ass backwards thing here is the pepper plants. My jalapeno plant gave me 50+ peppers during December and January. Along with another 50+ from my Sante Fe Pepper plant which is just planted in the hard ass ground here and love it. I've made tons of batches of homemade salsa this winter with all these pepper.

Pulled the trigger today. Bought 15 pounds of seed potatoes and got them all planted. Put in 100 feet of row of onion sets. Hopefully sone of the garden centers will be getting in the cold tolerant plants this week. Crazy stuff!! Soil worked like perfection. The cover crop Rye is greening up fast, deer keep hitting it. Never ever thought Id plant any garden in February.

WTF is this on my new starter pods?
I planted several different things in my Aerogarden starter pods. They’re starting to sprout, but now this is on probably 3/4 of the pods. |

Our tulips and daffodils are already coming up. This is way too early. We just had ice and somehow they are sprouting.

It looks like mold, either too damp or not enough air circulating are the most likely culprits. It shouldn't hurt your seedlings, you can pull it off with the tip of a pencil or something like that.

This is an Aerogarden, and they told me it’s a natural mold in hydroponics and is harmless. They said the sprouts will actually co duke it and get some added nutrition. |
