I purchased the latest Wallace DVD and I found that I was not burying my heating cables deep enough. It appears like all of the time that I spent laying them out probably didn't do too much good. I really hate laying those cables out. Now I really ate laying them out! :}

Farming- a bunch of catastrophies that result in a lifestyle

That gypsum only releases calcium for a short period. When to and when not to fertilize during baby set. Without mother nature raining on pumpkin leaves or distributing bugs everywhere- pumpkin leaves remain beautiful for the whole growing period. A regular 70 watt light bulb can give a leaf a sunburn! Pumpkins drink from the stump first, when that runs out they go to town getting water from the vines. Having your greenhouse filled w that beautiful perfume smell of pumpkin blossoms in the ditch of winter is a great thing....though it does lead to an early case of spring fever!!

That the " kitchen sink " is not a good way of thinking.
