Kalie(9 - Jacksonville, Florida)Updated The string trellis works really well in Florida. Our summer humidity is coupled with daily afternoon showers, which makes for a less than ideal environment. Being able to spread things out allows for much better airflow. Also it m...

jojomojo(6b)Updated Thanks for the resources, I hadn't seen those yet. So it looks like Blondkopfchen, Black Plum, Black Krim, Tula & Cherokee are good ones to try along the fence. I'll try an Italian Paste there too (the seeds were a freebie fro...

hoosier40 6a Southern INUpdated More than likely just a little bit of shock. They look like they will be fine. Mine that I put out 10 days ago look worse than that. Of course they went from 34 degrees to 88 in 2 days.

digdirt2Updated Or just cap off the one head. No point in losing the plants just because of one sprinkler head. Treat the problem, not the problems it causes. Especially when treating the created problems only makes them worse. In addition to the...

BigN_187(9)Updated Good to know. I knew that care for container plants is different, but I didn't realize it was that different. I looked at that link. I'm familiar with Alaska fertilizers (that's what my current 5-1-1 is), so I'm kind of leaning to...

dickiefickle(5B Dousman,Wi.)Updated "Yes, undrained pots will rot roots. But I don't think there would be root rot in this situation. After all, roots don't rot in a hydroponic set-up or in earth boxes. " The roots don't rot because ....they get Oxygen
