When can Romaine be picked -- do you take outer leaves or whole plant?

Pick at any size but only from the outside of the plant if you want it to keep growing

They're supposed to be good to eat raw or to pickle; however, ours never did grow at all. We planted them mainly as a vine to cover a trellis at a preschool, hoping that the kids could also pick the fruits. But, like I said, they didn't grow at all--and our tomatoes, cabbages, blackberries, sunflowers and other plants are thriving, so it wasn't bad weather/bad gardening. Maybe just not suited to our area?

I will not plant this until Spring. Ah deer...... Try cheep perfume. They have very powerful noses. Otherwise they seem to eat about anything or they simply pull the plants out. There is a ground cover called Corsica moss that reeks when disturbed. They may not bother that.

I recommend Sernade. Copper did not work for me. Sernade is organic, safe and we use it on pears and peonies. Also safe to eat the fruit the next day.

Berry fertilizer and water: I live in Texas so it stays outside March-November. I just brought it in and it's in a container behind my sofa by a large window.

Mine has only blossoms right now. I don't see any reason why you couldn't eat the fruit. I have miniature citrus trees in the same sun room that produce the best lemons, limes, and oranges. I'm going to eat the fruit unless it tastes really bad. Just have not got that far yet.

Whole leaf is used by those with "irregularity" (frequent constipation). The bottom, yellowish part of the leaf is a diuretic. Unless you are trying to become "regular," use the inner fillet.

I use the recommended amount of liquid I de-core the lettuce, rinse it, and shake it dry. It basically stays fresh and green for several weeks. Never cut it with a metal knife. The edges of the coarser pieces may show some brown after a week or so. Break off the brown pieces. The rest of the leaf is still good.

A question always deserves an answer? I know nothing about chamomile flowers. This picker seems too wide for any sort of maneuvering amongst twigs, so consider that aspect.

If the caterpillars become numerous enough to threaten the vine's existence (as they do mine every year), you can simply use BT to kill them off. I love the butterflies so I allow them the caterpillars to enjoy the vine until they become too large in number. BT is organic and OMRI approved and I don't hesitate to use it when it becomes absolutely necessary...which is usually not until late summer. The rest of the time I love having all those butterflies in my garden.

The TriVac should pick up the dead leaves depending on how big the pots are. The open end of the TriVac is a little bigger than a closed fist and that may be too big to get close enough to suck up the leaves. I have some potted plants with the same issue and I usually pick the leaves out to the ground where the TriVac can pick them up with no problem.

It is best to use on your plants as soon as you see a bug harboring around your plant. If you don't use right-away and the soil becomes infested, you may not be able to reserve your plant. It only takes a little.

If I see plants already having a problem I'll do it every 4-5 days. For some reason, San Marzano and other cherry and plum varieties have low resistance to blight so they need thorough treatment.

Follow the almanac as to when to plant. I do small alternating trays for juicing.

It is used to root cuttings. Since a cutting may go for as long as 5 months, from cutting to flowering, fruiting or vegatitive state, the rooting hormones are long gone.

No just spray it, with in the week it will be dead including the roots. Be careful of drift, it will kill other plants. Sooner or later you will have to cut the plant, but it is easier to cut them after the leaves fall.

Look up "Advanced Nutrients Feed Chart" and it will give directions. This is used only in flowering, specifically during mid flower.
