i've got cantaloupe vines climbing up my soccer net style trellis. it'd be nice if i could grow them vertically so i don't have to worry about bugs, but i'm not sure the trellis can handle the weight. any tips or ideas?

yeah if it was that long ago it could be cannibalizing the nitrogen in its lower leaves to put out new green ones. throw a dead fish in the pot or get some miracle gro or w/e

can i plant so many beans around my other stuff that they get too much nitrogen and slow down fruiting to focus on leaves?

Paradoxish posted:probably not. living legumes don't return a ton of nitrogen to the soil, and afaik it's up for debate if much at all makes it to neighbors. the big benefit with companion planting beans is that they basically don't take any nitrogen away from nearby plants. nice, thanks. i'm also using a 2-1-1, so maybe i'll toss some phosphorus in there and see what happens

Star Me Kitten posted:I haven't. But I do know they are relatively easy to grow; however, if you intend to harvest it for the spice, it takes 150 blossoms to make a single gram of saffron and tens of thousands to make an ounce. some quick math says I only need about a hundred individual flowers to eat biryani for a year

if you're planting for next spring, mulch is cheap and now's a good time to start it decomposing

thinking about planting poppies. our first weak frost is usually around thanksgiving. can i get a bloom out now before december? if so, would i put them in the freezer for a day or two, then wet in the fridge, then sown outside? i tried planting poppies years and years ago with no takers

if i was in a wetter area it'd be a giant mistake but my giant wall of morning glories two feet thick to block out the sun ruled last year. if i quit watering for 48 hours they die, but if i were in the southeast they'd take over everything

Organic Lube User posted:Yo check out Dollar Tree, they have seed packs for $.25 each. I just got $200+ worth of seeds for under $15. Sure I'll have to mimic Lysenkoism when I plant them, but it's still an insane deal. this just reminded me i was taught lamarckism at my christian elementary

i'm in austin where the real estate market is nuts and my landlord is making hints about selling and i'm so mad. i was going to make habanero jelly this year. the cold snap over valentine's killed a 5 year old serrano but my roses survived. i'm just bringing my friends to the local plant store and helping them out. one guy has a ditch in the back yard that gets lots of standing water and mosquitoes so i want to put in a couple bald cypress
