Casey,
You should just go with the palm tree seedlings. Pot them up after they grow
a little bit and start selling them. You never know maybe you could get a
nursery to take them off you hands. Good luck!

"Carrots Love Tomatoes" is the classic companion garden bible.  Just
remember that many of the concepts and specific combinations have never been
studied scientifically in a controlled environment.  It doesn't hurt
anything though, and might help.

I used to get them from Home Depot. Haven't look recently but I'm sure 
they're still selling them.

Reply-To: sqft-l@xena.pkiclue.com

Hi all!

I love the list. You are all so helpful. I have a few questions. This is my
3rd or 4th year of sqft gardening. It is great. This year we built raised
beds. As to the question of peat, I broke pieces off the bale, opened/broke
it down in a wheelbarrow, then mixed in vermiculite, compost and dirt, in
approximate equal amounts. I used the peat dry, but the post was right,
don't do it on a windy day!

My problem is that the "dirt" that my husband obtained for me was our
Redlands citrus clay. AND it came from our park strip, where there are 3
palm trees. Everything is growing great in my 3 raised beds, but now I am
also raising HUNDREDS to thousands of palm trees as well, I spent hours this
weekend picking them out of the squares! Luckily, it has yet to disrupt the
growth as far as I can tell. I am wondering about the best way to address
this. I am now watering the unplanted squares, to start the palm tree
germination process so I can unearth a square to pick out the seedlings, w/o
destroying my plants. In the preplanted squares, should I weed them as I am,
one tree at a time; cut them off w/scissors and eventually weaken the
seedling w/o disrupting my roots? Any thoughts are appreciated.

And my melons. There is an animal that is eating one of my melon species
(Jenny Lind heirloom). It is leaving the rest alone, but I had the same
damage last year on a honeydew and cantaloupe. It eats most of the leaves,
"leaving" scraps of leaves in the beds. It eats the flowers. Last year, it
was eating them up the trellis (along a wall). It is almost like I would
suspect w/a deer, but we don't have deer. We have suspected rats, but do
they eat leaves? Any thoughts on my culprit?

Thanks scores!

Reply-To: sqft-l@xena.pkiclue.com

Hello from upstate NY, zone 5, where the arrival of spring is late and
chilly.

I planted Bok Choi (sp?) seedlings about a month ago - never grew them
before.

The seedlings have grown an inch or so, but they're producing flowers
already - surely that can't be right?

Any comments?  Why are they bolting already?  I snipped the flowers
off.  Will that cause them to grow to a better harvesting size?

Thanks for any responses.

Valerie

Your Bok Choi isn't planted outside, are they?  Usually early bolting is a 
sign of too much warmth.  Margaret L

Yes, it is planted outside, where it's quite cool right now.
Good Bok Choi climate, I thought.
We have had some atypical weather - cold, with a brief heatwave awhile back.
Maybe that prompted the blooming.
