Your Questions About Gardening

Lisa asks…

Living @ Wal-Mart What Do You Think?

During the summer I see retired folks parking their RV’s in the back 40. I understand it’s a courtesy and the store benifits from extra security and purchase made. I thought what if I was retired and wanted to live inside Wal-Mart. First you get a P.O. box that some store provide to get mail. There is usually a fast food restaurant or snack bar or both. In the evening the night crew could care less if you goto lawn and garden and sleep on the lawn furniture. You can spounge bath in the restrooms and if you need clothes you have an endless supply. Plenty of company too. It’s easy to strike up conversations with others. Wonder how long before management caught on and if they would even care as long as you weren’t a nusiance.

There is actually a book which may have been turned into a movie about a girl who was pregnant and later gave birth to a child she named America who lived in a Walmart store. Mr. Walmart found the story intriguing and ended up paying her hospital bills and giving her a job.

It was a good read/movie. Sorry I can’t remember the name of it.

Richard asks…

What to start germinating for a veggie/herb garden?

Since its almost Feb. I was hoping to start germinating inside some seeds to be transplanted outside once it starts to warm up. Looking for ideas of edible produce that will grow (preferable well and easy) in a northern climate (Maine/NE states….. I’m actually from Canada but these states mimic my climate).

So far my plans include lettuce, carrots, green peppers, chamomile, stevia, some type of mint.

What do you guys have in your gardens and any tips on planting times/techniques, tips/trick you may know (terracotta pots over top of seedlings, or plastic, etc.). Im a rookie farmer and would love the satisfaction of a successful harvest this year. Is it possible to grow a grain in this northern climate? something that could be made into flour? Are any of these plants complementary to each other? (like carrots and onions….they repel each others enemies)

FYI, my latitude is approx. 45 degrees North.

Thanks for all your help.

GardenersCardiff answers:

I respectfully have to disagree with the other posting who said that germination is harder than it seems, it is actually quite simple. There are tons of great vegetables that you can grow in your climate. A few of the ones you didn’t mention that will work gret for you are: peas, beets, radish, tomatos, chard, broccoli, beans, zucchini. I realize that you have a shorter growing season than I do (here in pennsylvania) however, especially when started early all of these vegetables will work fine for you and should give you a great crop. I have actually put together a free planting guide for most of your average garden veggies, it includes: when to start indoors, when to transplant to garden, planting depth and spacing, row spacing, companion plants, how long to harvest, and preferred temps. This list comes in handy to me every year when planning and planting my garden and I think it will work for you. It can be found at: http://getready2garden.com/page7.html (you will need the pop up blocker off to view it, alternatively you can download a free pdf of it there). You mentioned grains however they can be a bit harder to grow, especially depending on how much room you have. Corn may be the easiest of the grains and I would suggest going with a corn that is a sweet
hybrid with a shorter growing season. Good luck to you!

Laura asks…

The Bible Speaks of Man and the death of Man-GOD did not say Animals and Plants?

Would live forever…If Animals were living with Adam and Eve in the Garden they were still in the form of how they were created for instance:
A lion still had teeth that were made for eating meat they were not made for eating plants so that would tells us that Lions would of killed animals for meat..
Animals killed before they were in the Garden with Adam so that would be pretty easy to see how Dinasours existed..

Bible speaks of MAN… GOD never said creation of Man started with Animals and Plants as well, so right there is evidence that earth has been in exsistence for quite along time like millions of years..
Thoughts?

GardenersCardiff answers:

Actually, you can’t be sure of anything by that logic. Because according to God’s word the firmament is shaken, the earth has experienced a catastrophic world-wide flood. And that would have dramatic effects on the plant-life, human-life, animal-life… Everything.

In fact this is the explanation as to why people lived for hundreds of years in their lives before the flood. I also read somewhere that people were taller, could run miles without tiring due to the higher amount of pure oxygen in the air.

Certainly adaptation to a degree has had a major role on earth’s life-forms. For all we know the big cats might have even been bigger without fangs or claws. What else is interesting is snake venom and other venomous creatures… Did God create them to harm? Not according to the Bible. The only explanation that makes sense other than what empiricism can offer is that earth has suffered a great change in the flood of Noah.

And yes, i agree the earth could have been in existence for billions of years prior to life roaming on it. The Bible says the earth was void… And that at least confirms that it was indeed earth before men.
