kurlyq2g said:I would love to see a general gardening forum here at ICmag.
I have
14 types of tomato this year (+ some "volunteers" that sprouted on thier
own, from tomatos that got burried last year.)
21 squash/zuchini/cucumber plants
3 jalapeno plants
12 green bean plants
8 sunflowers
2 lemon trees
1 loquat tree
a freaking gigantic pomagranet grove.
and the 4 concorde grape vines are making grapes for the first time. (it
takes a few years for them to mature enough to fruit)
I would love to have a place to show my progress, ask for advice, and talk about what we all get at the end of the season.
I have been feeding most of my plants with Fox Farm "Grow Big" and they respond well to it. It really helps them fill in nice and bushy.
any questions will gladly be answered if you just ask me.

Nikijad4210 said:Just for clarification, Doc & Dubz, I live in an apartment, so the compost at the bottom on the hole dug---Not gonna work, lol. They're in small windowsill containers, so they're not going to be huge plants.Just been needing to know how often to feed potted herbs.
Nikijad4210 said:I agree, a General Growing forum would be an excellent asset.
I've been growing Lemon Basil, have 4 plants. Still run arcoss questions an internet search doesn't turn up answers for (like how often to feed) Would be nice to be able to confer with other cooking herb growers once in a while when needed.
