Thank you for being part of our community, sharing how gardens and nature heal and grow our lives.Shagbark hickory produces Juglone, a natural herbicide, but in far less concentration than the Eastern Black Walnut, famous for being allelopathic – a fancy word for emitting chemicals that harm other plants. Thankfully many plants will thrive around Juglone. I share a story of Elisabeth who bought an 1800's farmhouse graced with Black Walnut trees and her desire for fruit trees and a vegetable garden. https://askmarystone.com/juglone-companion-plants/ https://askmarystone.com/fruits-and-veggies-near-black-walnut/ Then we chat about an artful, slightly freaky, and fun anomaly most don't know about. Dorrie sent photos of her Black-eyed Susan and Coneflowers with extended centers, concerned it was a disease. It turns out to be the fascinating anomaly of fasciation. Mother Nature can be so clever. https://askmarystone.com/fascinating-anomaly-of-fasciation/ https://askmarystone.com/deformed-flowers-on-black-eyed-susan/ Thank you for sharing the garden of life,Mary Stone, Columnist & Garden DesignerGarden Dilemmas?

When it bolts, it becomes tough and bitter. Four to six weeks before the last spring frost, begin sowing spinach seeds every one or two weeks. Six to eight weeks before the first frost of autumn, go back to the cool-season spinach varieties. Try planting spinach cultivars described as “long standing,” or slower to bolt in hot weather. Several of these are open-pollinated so you can save seeds from Long Standing Hybrids Some long-standing spinach cultivars are commercially bred hybrids, or crosses between varieties. Some gardeners prefer them because they often have mild flavors that particularly suit them for raw salads. 1.Swiss chard 2. Beet green 3.Kale 4. Malabar spinach a fast-growing, heat-loving vine, includes two species. Basella ruba, labeled for USDA zones 7b through 11, has red stems, and Basella alba, found in USDA zones 10a through 11, has green stems. New Zealand spinach (Tetragonia tetragonioides) tolerates heat, drought, and high-saline soils and resists pests and diseases well. 5. Sow New Zealand spinach in the garden about the date of the average last frost in spring or later. It can be started indoors 2 to 3 weeks before the last frost in spring for later transplanting. New Zealand spinach is not frost hardy like true spinach. New Zealand spinach is a bushy, fast-growing perennial with fuzzy, triangular leaves. Because of the succulent-like nature of the leaves, New Zealand spinach is occasionally referred to as 'ice plant'. Its flavor is very similar to common spinach when young, but becomes bitter and acrid when fully mature Relying on only one kind of spinach, no matter how heat-tolerant, may not give you a continuous supply throughout your growing season 6.Collard greens 7. Turnip greens 8. Watercress delicate, peppery green 9. Dandelion Greens 10. Broccoli Rabe This hearty, bitter green (which we sometimes call rapini) is more closely related to turnips than it is to broccoli, although their family resemblance seems totally undeniable. Italian cuisine has mastered the pairing of rabe with chilies, garlic and sausage. Is segment 3 Joey and Holly welcome their guest this week Joel Karsten author of Growing in straw bales. https://strawbalegardens.com/ Joel Karsten 1.How did you come up with the straw bale garden method? 2.How is the method unique to regular ground gardening? 3.There is a lot you can grow in the straw bales, what are some things you shouldn’t grow? 4.Can you grow in hay? Is there a type of straw that is best or worst? 5.What is in your most recent book? 6.How can people find out more? In segment 4 Joey and Answer garden questions problem Growing onions and brussel sprouts Q:We have a slope in our little backyard where I want to improve it for gardening. My husband says we need a tiller to till it up. The previous owner planted hostas and wintergreen ground cover. The ground cover is the problem. A neighbor gave me ground up leaves and grass clippings to start a compost pile 2 yrs ago. It's not enough. Area 40× 20. Its @ a 30 degree angle. A:We think tilling would cause erosion. We would turn it over with a garden fork or shovel and garden there in the specific area where you want to plant. Tilling would cause the soil to erode down. Q James asked what was the company you talked about for seed trays and what the coupon code again thank you . A: Rootmaker coupon code TWVG to save 10% at checkout Q: Brandon from Philadlpha says have a question I hope you can help me out with. I started some tomatoes perhaps too soon here and I've already had to move from a 4 inch to a 6 inch pot. The plants are getting too big and I'm 6 weeks away from putting it into the ground. How can I slow down the plant a bit? A: To start with no matter what you do you are going to have very large tomato seedlings. The best advice I can give is keep the plants cool. if you put them somewhere where it is not cold but cool this should slow their growth as we see this in the spring we plant them out early it cool days and cold nights and they do not grow much.
