Q:They started blooming again growing baby yellow crooked-neck squash, so I let it be, added more compost, soil... fertilizer. Now the leaves are already turning (been about 3 weeks) only 1 squash is loooking big enough (the rest are still tiny). I touched it this morning it's not even fully hard! It's a little squishy. =( Do I dig the whole thing out? Is it bad? Or cut off the top? Cause from my summer bloom (which was huge), I cut back the leaves fruit, it kept growing from the top. I left it so now they are like long stalks with leaves at the end.Any input ( gardening tips!) are appreciated!! =)

Yellow okorder some crops really enjoy cool weather; just some do not. stuff like this does really well>broccolli, lettuce, spinach, brussel sprouts, cabbage, sweet green peas. also some herbs but not all.

Q:Are tiny homes really just garden sheds on a trailer ?

Yes, just fitted out better than a garden shed

Q:I am doing a traveling boutique featuring children's and a few womens clothing and accessories some of which I make and some I buy. What I am trying to figure out is my sales are pretty good at the shows I've done so far but I was hoping to get outside of my friends to hold shows and have not been successful in booking new shows. What kind of incentives should I do? I offered a tiered plan based on sales some free some discounted based on $ volumn. Should I make something that is for hosts only? Any advise related to this would be helpful. Is it okay to ask the host to help? Keep in mind that I do not do a presentation--it is an open house for a couple of hours and set up like a boutique in someones living room.

Offer host only benefits, such as a discount, and a precentage of the sales (to go towards their own purchase). For instance, if the party earns $200, and you offer a 10% bonus, then the hostess gets $20 to use towards her own purchase. Offer benefits such as a discount for bringing a friend, a further discount to the hostess if she has 2 more people book parties, etc. You might want to get a catalouge printed up professionally, though, and allow outside sales, or book parties.

Q:I want to grow a garden this year and I know bugs/insects will most likely attack my fruits and vegetables. What are some natural products that I can spray on my fruits and veggies to protect them? I don't really want to use any harmful chemicals. I'm already planning to buy granules that keep ants away that I will set around the garden but I have more than just ants to worry about so anything natural/organic to repel all these unwanted pests would be great if you guys can help. Thank you.

LOL! You're new. There is NOTHING. You fight your battles when they start, no way before. And ants don't hurt a thing. If anything, they help aerate the soil

Q:I am a believer in providing my own food for myself, but i am worried that in the future the pollen of GMO's will contaminate the crops i am growing at home? Is this a possibility?

yes but only of you are growing soy and corn. And if you are growing sweet corn you have always had to plant either ahead or behind the field corn as any corn that crosses with sweet corn ruins it (other than other sweet corn). So if you are growing produce and herbs in your garden and not corn or soy you should not have to worry about G<O's pollinating with your crops. Also if you are not surrounded by farm fields don't worry. I have been growing a sustainable, GMO free market garden in rural SW Ohio for 17 years and they only time I had crossing was when I was growing edamame within 50 feet of a field growing GMO soy (I knew because the flower color was the same as the GMO soy and should have been another color). So i destroyed the crop. Don't worry about GMO corn pollinating your melons or lettuce, it will not happen as that sort of thing can happen only in a lab and not through natural sexual breeding.

Q:Suggested category: Home and Garden - Haha

I have and it went over everyone's head. Nobody has a sense of humor anymore thanks to lack of interaction with each other and total reliance on those damned hand held gadgets. On the news after the deadly tornado in Oklahoma the lady who was sorting through the rubble used the term, that's life in the big city. Nobody got the little bit of light humor she offered amongst the devastation. I did.

Q:What are the main points i should remember when i design a home garden on my own?

I hope you mean flower garden...because vegetable gardens are another story altogether. First, find plants good for your hardiness zone. If they aren't hardy in your area, they won' t survive the first winter. Second, find plants that are appropriate for the amount of sunlight you get in the area you're planting. Full sun plants will not thrive if they only get one hour of direct sunlight a day. Shade plants may get leaf burn in full sun. Third, select plants which will mature to the size you want in each area. Don't pick plants based on the size when you purchase them. If so, they will become overgrown and look bad. Fourth, choose colors that go well together and complement each other. Fifth, choose some evergreen, some perennial, and some annuals. Evergreens keep their leaves all year. Perennials die off in the fall but come back every year. Annuals last only one season and usually are planted to give a large amount of seasonal color--things like petunias and impatiens. For vegetable gardens, it's important to improve your soil, make sure the garden gets plenty of sunlight (most vegetables need full sun), keep out the critters who think it's a salad bar, keep out the bugs who will destroy your plants, plant at the right time, and choose plants and space them appropriately. I also recommend composting your yard and kitchen waste so that you have a free source of soil improver for next year. Gardening is really satisfying once you get going. Good luck to you!
