Hi Luben,
Thank you for your comments, I would like to try the Neem oil, because it will not hurt Honeybees. I am more worred about harming bee with poisoning, then myself. The ppm are much less for a 200pound man, then a 10gram(?) honeybee.

Hi Luben,
I love gardening & I love working with children( I have two of my on).
You have both in you beautful pic's.
I am getting seed catologs in the mail, I found a insecticide called BioNeem, that use extracted from the seeds of the Neem tree. Do you use this extract as a insecticide? If so , how well does it work?
Thank you for your time.

Hi Luben,
Welcome to KGI.
Thanks for the photos we see so little of this wonderful world from South Carolina,U.S.A.
This is one of the many reasons I love K.G.I.
I am impressed with your beautiful photos: the lovely children, the gorgeous country, and the mission. I share your enthusiasm for teaching gardening, that most noble and practical of vocations, to children. The personal power and peace that comes from being able to grow your own food is priceless, not to mention good health, mentally and physically. My best wishes to you and welcome to this site for dedicated gardeners international.
Wow Sandra! You've asked for an awful lot of information! Start by checking for your "predicted" last frost date.
There are frost charts online, but the quickest way for you, I think, is to call your county extension agent. He'll be listed in the ph…
Hmmm... we are having lots of sacred snow these days in Baltimore... can't wait for some of it to melt down...
can't wait for spring to get my fingers back in the soil...
Oh gosh, that is rare to get humidity that far south! That is where all our moisture went - we havnt had any rain for over a week :) I started that gemsquash group as I discovered a new member (Margaret Flett) who had gemsquash as her favourite vege…
Yes it's hot but very humid which is unusual. We are having a spell of days in the low 30s but tropical air is being pushed south by the weather systems up north and we are getting rain and humidity. The rain we love - the humidity we are not used t…
yes - the pods are quite tough. We only ate the peas inside and we always ate them green although many Indian people dry them. They are known as toovar dhal in Gujerati or tuvaram in Tamil and there are lots of recipes for them dried. Just google to…
Mary,
so you always shell them? I am entirely in the dark with these, and no more flowers :(... Did you only cook the peas fresh or did you leave some to dry?
I posted a photo of the HUGE luffa I found, and there are lots more making an appearance -…
Hi i just wanted to ask, I know it is still cold and i want to know what i can grow in the garden that would be organic and as close to the original foods? How do i find seeds for these foods? When do i start growing? Can i start seed in the house?…

Hi, I'm starting to put together a few guidlines on using the discussion forum on here.
I would be happy to hear any comments you may have. This is very much a work in progress so plese feel free to ask me to add anything you think is needed.
I don't want to make our community hide bound by rules and regulations but I think that, as the community has grown, some explanation of what is expected is needed.
