I think this variety is also an early one. I'm glad this is a good thing!!!!<BR/><BR/>Dawn--I will definitely remove the yellow leaves. I hope I have at least one ear to eat!<BR/><BR/>Skeeter-Haha that would have been funny if I had done that. I guess I'm so new at this that I don't know what kind of minerals are sold to add to your soil. <BR/><BR/>Tina- I know I am so new at this!!! It's funny because to all gardeners (except for me), it's the same thing as me saying that the grass is blue. lol.<BR/><BR/>Frances-I had no idea that carrots take so long to grow! I hope I get a fall harvest too! Yum! Your vegetables sound delicious.<BR/><BR/>Tina and Skeeter- you are too funny!!!DP Nguyenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13729511776841579464noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4411587390928773196.post-15280579996659762152008-07-01T11:52:00.000-05:002008-07-01T11:52:00.000-05:00Skeeter, for DP's sake-Yes, that is so true.

Someone says put lime in the ground. Well, if the only lime you are familiar with is the fruit, then I could see one interpreting that as to put a lime in the ground.Skeeterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08222522533934405029noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4411587390928773196.post-59129854494515879092008-07-01T07:55:00.000-05:002008-07-01T07:55:00.000-05:00Hi DP, your veggies look good, don't know anything...Hi DP, your veggies look good, don't know anything about corn though. Seed tape is paper tape with seeds imbedded in it at the proper spacing that gets planted as is. You don't need to do as much thinning that way, although you still need to do some. My carrots are far from being ready even though the tops are lush, I'm thinking into the fall for harvest. We like our zuchinni and cucumbers and beans smaller, crunchier and tastier.Frances,https://www.blogger.com/profile/03616568389165362993noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4411587390928773196.post-59628837826411553762008-07-01T00:09:00.001-05:002008-07-01T00:09:00.001-05:00Skeeter, No I don't think it is a mistake anyone c...Skeeter, No I don't think it is a mistake anyone could make.

I am stumped as you! <BR/><BR/>Dont feel silly about the mistake. It was a mistake anyone could have made. The real kicker would have been if you did put an actually lime into the ground and everything flourished from the acid! Now that would be funny....Skeeterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08222522533934405029noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4411587390928773196.post-32963505233145382412008-06-30T21:21:00.000-05:002008-06-30T21:21:00.000-05:00I was going to ask what kind of variety?

First of...Hey again...my corn did a similar thing. First off, it was quite short. I was then told that it was just the type of corn I'd planted - very short and early. Also, it got all yellowish and I thought it was dying. However, I left it alone and now there is that little silky stuff that corn starts out with. You may be in luck yet! =) Here's hoping... About the lime, I'm glad someone else besides me makes those kinds of mistakes!Aimeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18082893055963242245noreply@blogger.com
