You don't say where you're located or what zone you're in. That makes a

So what.

With annuals (which includes most all veggies) the growing zone rarely
makes much difference... veggie seed packets all say "sow when danger
of frost is past" (for most that leaves about half the year for
growing). Growing zone matters with perennials, for severity of
winter temps.

Your information is correct,

Shoulda stopped right there, that's all that matters.

Bu no, you gotta make an ASSHOLE of yourself, a complete asshole, like
I didn't already know you're an ignoranus ASSHOLE... they don't come
any dumber than you.


but the original poster asked for tips with
the implication that she was having trouble growing some vegetables. It
helps to know what you're dealing with when troubleshooting. It's a
little like the posters we sometimes get who ask what's going wrong with
a recipe-- without telling us the recipe. It was possible that the
problem had to do with too much water, too little water, too hot, too
cold, etc.

Blah, blah, blah... red herring city. STFU!

One thing for absolute certain... had not a whit to do with growing
zones, not even one teeny little iota. What could be the problem,
just off hand I can think of at least forty thousand pertinent
possibilities... but not anything to do with growing zone, not
anything whatsoever, NADA!

That's why people have problems, they haven't a clue, not even a hint
of a clue, but they like to toss out BS, like zones,
****ing z o n e s... sounds important, eh... tells me yer a no IQ
asshole. I got yer ****ing zones.

Moroon!

Janet, it is *so* nice to see you posting with regularity.

Thank you. I'm feeling fairly good generally these days. Still haven't
gotten into the bread baking thing again but I'm planning on taking it up
again.
Janet


Too damn hot anyway. I think all my cultures had croaked & molded
over. I'll have to resuscitate in the fall. My kitchen is no air
conditioned., It I proofed anything it'll blow up like a balloon in 15
minutes.

We have a store that makes killer onion rolls and bialys, We patronize
a lot.

I am happy you;re feeling better, too. That is the sweetest part.

How many RFCers grow seasonal gardens for fresh produce? What do you
try to grow? Any special tricks or hints (for whatevers)?

I'm trying to grow tomatoes this year again, but alas have not had much
luck.

Where are you at? It may not be you, but the weather. Beefeater
tomatoes (and any of those big juicy ones) cannot tolerate cool
evenings. They grow, but don't set fruit without some spray. I like
the cool evenings myself, but the tomatoes don't. Only early tomatoes
will do OK here. The others don't set fruit until very late, and they
are very cracked and ugly. Cherry tomatoes are generally early, so
that's why I posted this. We have good luck with Early Girls. They
produce tasty but small tomatoes for much of the season.

I've got plenty of fruit on my Early Girl and cherry tomato plants, but
they won't ripen, dammit! The herbs are doing nicely.

My tomatoes are very fine, but once I cut and used my cilantro and flat
leaf parsley it didn't grow any more...

The cilantro is no surprise, that's pretty much the way it works. The
parsley should have continued to produce -- did you cut just from the
outside of the plant? If you cut out the center, the growing area of the
parsley, the plant can't continue. Parsley grows from the center outward.

Ooops? Perhaps that was the problem? I dunno...? I need to start again.
My mother always kept a large bed of parsley going and I never paid any
attention to it other than to go out and cut some? I was growing it in a
large deck sized pot and hoped to keep it going much longer than I did.
Next time I'll remember your words when cutting. Thanks.
