Onion 02 Apr, Debbie h. (USA - Zone 9b climate): Can you plant onions that already have a green stem coming from it? Like ones in fridge if not used fast enough .

Onion 22 Jun, Jayne Matzkin (USA - Zone 9b climate): I've done it. You take the outside layers off until you reach the layers the green stem is attached to and plug it in your garden. They become a bigger version of themselves. I see this a way of not wasting that onion and tossing it.

Cucumber 13 Mar, Peter Cyr (USA - Zone 8b climate): I plan to plant them in a spot with a bag of composted chicken manure in Zone 8b. Any suggestions? Last year my cuke plants were glorious and were started from a packet of seeds. Unfortunately I did not get one cuke. Lots of flowers but I think they turned out to be all males.

Cucumber 02 Oct, Tera in El Paso (USA - Zone 8b climate): Same problem here this year; beautiful leaves, taking over the area on my balcony....but all male flowers!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I know with tomatoes you have to get the temperature to drop low enough to get them to fruit, maybe same with cucumbers?
Reply
Cucumber 15 Mar, Anonymous (USA - Zone 4b climate): Mix in well composted manure with some good friable soil - about 1 part manure to 3 parts soil. Too much manure and the soil will have too much nitrogen. The female flowers have little cucumbers behind the flower. You need bees to pollinate the flowers. Check between 7 and 11am to see if bees are active. You can hand pollinate, read how to do it.

Tomato 06 Mar, Abby (USA - Zone 10a climate): My tomato plants are ready to go into raised bed. But the temperature drops to mid 40s at night. Is it okay to plant them out yet. Thanks
Reply
Tomato 09 Mar, Anonymous (USA - Zone 10b climate): Tomato plants can handle night temps in the mid 40s but you should harden them off a bit if they're used to a hothouse. If you want to baby them so they'll grow a bit faster, consider covering them at night with horticultural fleece, though you shouldn't actually *need* to unless frost threatens or the night is forecast to be very windy.
Reply
Tomato 08 Mar, (USA - Zone 4b climate): I would wait until it warms up more - more like in the 50's

Brussels sprouts 04 Mar, Holly Ann Blanton (USA - Zone 8b climate): I was just curious, i live i the Valdosta Georgia area and I wanted to know something. I have he Catskill Brussel Sprouts and It tells me for my region for where I live is very close to North Florida border. Approzimately 10 min away. So I am located exactly in the middle of the georgia map. At the bottom. If you see. As for the Burpee seeds that I got today at my local walmart store it states for the climate that I do not need to plant until September-November ... now for the northern tip of the border of Georgia it states that the Catskill Brussel Sprouts can plant in April-May. Any suggestions..
Reply
Brussels sprouts 05 Mar, Liz (New Zealand - temperate climate): Brussel sprouts do better in cool weather, so choose your planting time when you know the hot summer days are finished.
