Does anyone know what causes this? On some of my annuals, marigolds, dianthus & lobelia are the worst, when I transplant them outside, no matter how long I have hardened them off, the leaves will turn a dark burgundy color. The plants seem to go into shock and will not… More

Deadheading Annual Salvia

What's your favorite annual fruit/veggie to grow?
I voted for zucchini/yellow squash. It's so easy to grow, fast to set fruit, and produces in such abundance for a relatively small space. My second favorite is probably green beans for the same reasons. My pole beans last year kept producing well into late summer, maybe early fall. I've… More
