My friend gave me a squash, I don't like to eat them but I don't want to waste the seeds, I am keeping some to plant next year, can I roast the rest like you roast pumpkin seeds?

The hose could be used 24 hours a day, but i am thinking of months, rather than weeks. You need to work out the capacity of the pool, then the rate water would flow per day/week, i guess. Rather a silly question, because i know this scenario is unlikely to develop.

Would it be better to mulch my leaves in my yard to feed the grass, what ever kind it may be, or to bag them up?

As some people may recall, I pinched some Baptisia seed pods and planted them in the the soil of an established Brugmansia [Angle Trumpet]. Most of the seeds have sprouted, and I'm enjoying their growth.

I normally water by adding smidgeon amount of H20 to the bottom dish the original Brugmansia (and now Baptisia) is growing in every day or so.

Last night I decided to water from the top. To my surprise, I noticed tons of super tiny bugs scurrying around like ants who just had their hill kicked over. I really had to squint to see them, and they move very quickly.

When the soil is dry I don't see these creatures. During the scramble, I thought I could see what looked like wings, but there is nothing flying around, just a lot of leg work.

Their color blends in with the soil color, they are real tiny, and they only get excited when the top soil is wet.

I suspect these guys are good for my soil.

I love microcosms! Any ideas on who they are and what they are doing? Thanks

At first I thought I had 2 lemon trees and 1 lime tree. Now it looks as if the lemon trees turned out to be orange trees and the lime turned into a grapefruit tree. Now they are almost ripe and one of the orange trees, the fruit is orange, the other fruit on the other tree is still really dark green and little more tart than the other trees fruit. I am just really confused as to what are these trees and what kind of fruit are they producing? I am very new to any citrus fruit growing. I come from Michigan and we grow Apples up there. If any know a site to go to, to indentify these fruits, or if this sounds familur to anyone i would appreciate any and all help. THANKS!!

I live in Chicago and would love to be a master gardener, signed up for classes, but my parents say there is no "real"future in this. Is it true? What happened to doing what makes one happy? LOL!
