A Forum for Root Vegetables

14 years ago

I "suggest" a forum dedicated for discussions and such concerning root vegetables,tubers,rhizomes, and other such "Vegetables" whereas the root itself tends to be the "harvested" product rather than the bloom as in flowers.

Have you been to The Vegetable Forum? I know there are a lot of posts there about potatoes, beets, turnips, parsnips, etc.

Often when subjects are broken down into numerous forums, some of them don't seem to get much action.

Beets do better for me in the spring. Too hot for consistant staring in late summer and they need to be started in early September. Planted in February, they do nicely in spring. Beets are not demanding, they do dislike an acid soil, but tolerate widely varying levels of ferility. They do need full sunlight to develop. No shade.

George, I read about the resistance of the varieties you mention, but didnÂt imagine that would change so much per location. I have to have those seeds next year to try. Si, el cambio es muy grande, after the 6inches/14.8mm of rain yesterday, I had to wear my wooden shoes to go to see the vegetables LOL! ItÂs sooo strange to walk with them but they help in the mud, and you write so perfect Spanish. How come? Raisemybeds, we covered the tomatoes with that lightweight fabric, although not pretty, till now (cross my fingers) the tomatoes and pepper seem to like that protection. IÂve been earlier shaking the stems and was wondering if the pumpkin pollination would be so simpleÂ not so, as per what I read. Bill, yesterday I didnÂt turn the compost pile that I left to mature, since I saw there were some pumpkin seedlings showing up, and I thought, well, you never know maybe they grow nice. This morning guess what, they were gone, disappeared. IÂd eat Butternut Squash every day, casually found a grocer that sells it. Back in Argentina my mother had a piece ready for my arrival from the office nearly everydayÂ Now IÂve got some Butternut seeds popping up in a propagator. Violet, I know thereÂs lots of info. However, last year while I was "researching" what happened that time to the tomatoes raised by me from seed, my husband convinced me to check a bit less ugly bugÂs pictures and diseased plants on the internet, and just try again, strengthening precautions. Pumpkin is not so popular here for eating, but for Halloween, therefore availability of seeds for consume (ie. to grow without chemicals) is just starting. I didnÂt plant resistant varieties, because I simply could not find any offered for sale. Thank you all for such warm welcome! Carol.
