Q:What do you grow?

I have a room that I grandly call my plant room (it's my 2nd bedroom); I grow African violets, episcias, dwarf gardenias, miniature roses, orchids, jade plants, night-blooming cereus, aloe vera, and just about anything else that comes my way! I keep the room at a temperature of about 72F/22C, with a humidity of 65-70%. Most of my plants sit under ordinary fluorescent fixtures that I got at Home Depot, which I plug into power strips (the kind you use for computers) and which are in turn plugged into ordinary mechanical appliance timers. My small plants are kept on stands that I built from ordinary PVC pipe and pipe fittings, likewise purchased at Home Depot. Everything in there seems to be happy and I win a fair number of ribbons on my violets (I don't show my other plants) so I guess I'm doing *something* right!

Q:Looking for good prices as well. Thank You so much in advance!

Stuff from The Pier used to be fantastic…

Q:I'm planting a good sized garden this summer, including squash, tomatoes, zucchini, radishs, green beans, cucumbers, bell peppers, jalepenos, canteloupes and watermelons. But I was hoping to add some more fruit. Does anybody have and ideas for some fruit that grows well in southeastern Oklahoma? Thanks.

Check out this web site for some ideas. I personally planted Strawberries, they are doing very well, and come back nicely every year. I also planted a couple of blueberry bushes. I planted these last year and it was recommended to not allow them to bear fruit the first year. So the verdict is out on them. However, I have high hopes.

Q:why is it that there are more people interested on home gardening now adays?

People just want to get back to earth. There are more books, magazines and newspaper articles then every before. They show step by step instructions. What and what no to plant. It gets people out doors, and gives them new ideas how to come up with ideas they would like to see in their back yards or in front of their homes and do it themselves. It's very satisfactory to see the fruits of there labor. Vegitable or flower garden ..... takes your choice.

Can the aquifer run completely out of water? What would you do then? P.S: I posted this in HomeGarden, 1 person answered, not much info...didn't know where else to post. sorry...

I answered your other question (in HomeGarden), but thought that you might be interested in a recent news article as well. Althought the Bush Administration is reporting $800 million to help drought stricken farmers, this is money already earmarked for such projects and does nothing to help the individual families in these same areas.
