Need Help From Gardener About Planting | |
Archaic Mason User ID: 1468378 United States 08/10/2012 05:52 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I'm new to growing plants, and I just bought seeds for Italian Parsley, Thyme, Cilantro, Sweet Basil, Dill Bouquet, Oregano, Sweet Marjoram, Chives, Summer Savory, Garlic Chives, Mustard and Culinary Sage. I'm in zone 7, so I'm able to plant this during the fall right? I also bought a seed starter. I may buy a small greenhouse for these plants. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 21141413 Where exactly is zone 7? I know gardening, but am unfamiliar with the zonage terminology. -- Archaic Mason 2B1ASK1 "Meet on the level, part on the square."

You could put them in the ground right now, like TODAY, and POSSIBLY get a harvest before October 1st. -- Archaic Mason 2B1ASK1 "Meet on the level, part on the square."

Just make sure you get them the nutrients they need. Also - make sure they have enough dirt for root systems to grow. The less you move them around, the more successful they will be.

The seeds are good for another 3 years. Anything that will grow during the winter? |

Archaic Mason User ID: 1468378 United States 08/10/2012 06:15 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Is it too late to start seed? Pumpkin, butternut, acorn, spaghetti squash, etc... What about greens, ie: collard, chard, spinach? Perhaps cruciferous veggies (cabbage, broccoli)? No, you can seed everything you just listed right there and you should be fine... the flowers will be out by then, and hopefully by October you'll be looking at some nice squashes... All the greens you listed are good too, because the have a fast grow rate. -- Archaic Mason 2B1ASK1 "Meet on the level, part on the square."

The cucurbits will be cutting it close but winter type squashes will be fine. Mustard family will go on till the snows. Sweet peas, lettuce, etc also like it cool. |

One of the most important aspects of conspiracy theories is being able to discern when there isn't one. Oh yeah, like you'd understand anyway. Where are we going and why am I in this handbasket?. . .J. Handy |
