NRA POLICY ON SELF DEFENSE LAWS

wha dya think about growing onions near tomatoes?

We never had a problem with that. Why, what's wrong with that?

I think it makes sense, but planting strawberries with your onions is even better.

Im a bit worried whether there are " anti-companion" issues even though the charts dont seem to spell out antagonistic tendencies between allenaceous and solinaceous veggies.

Don't be.

We had long rows of onions running the length of the garden (half-acre, so really long rows) with the temater plants at the side on one end. We could not possibly have used all the termaters from a full row of them, so we had three plants, set about 18" apart, and the rest of that row was devoted to my prize-winning cukes.

I think its off-topic.
Other than that, I have no opinion. I 'm not much of a gardener.

I was gonna award Izzy the red star with set as a back-up. But then I discovered that this thread was about something else.

What . . . fruit?

I think the off-topic has become the on-topic, and you need to go with the flow. Have you ever considered viticulture? Contact with the soil is very good for one's wellbeing. I could do with someone to talk about my vine with. I've got my first lot of wine brewing from last year, and I'm going to be bottling it soon.

I've just planted some asparagus, so I won't be growing onions this year. I will try some peas though.

No. Alcohol does not play much of a part in my life.
Sometimes I drink in restaurants,
but it seldom occurs to me to keep any at home.


I 'm familiar with that turn of mind.
I 've had several relatives who felt that way.
I even had an uncle who, having professional gardiners,
he insisted on participating in gardening in the heat of Arizona.
I 'd rather keep my hands clean.



I enjoy conversing with u,
but my advice qua raising grapes 'd be devoid of merit.

Tell Dave that I think hes confusing viticulture with viniculture. Be that as it may, Ive planted my tomatoes . I had to start a new bed because of thieving chickens. SO I moved em next to my onions and then I planted basil around it all.

For me it's hard to tell the two apart. My vines are supposedly taken from cuttings from a famous vine at Hampton Court, so they should be suited to this climate, but all the grapes are sour. They're not much good for anything else.

I've got foxgloves growing in my strawberry patch, they should be slightly beneficial.



They grow wild round here.

Planting tomatoes this early, fm? Can you do that in your part of Penna.? When I lived in New Hampshire, I'd never dare plant toms until after Memorial Day. (Except for starters indoors, of course.) We'd still get the occasional killing frost in the month of May up there. And I was in the extreme southern part of NH, mind you. Different story where I am now, of course.

I'm in Hampshire, the old one, if that means anything.

we put our tomatoes into the garden around mothers day around here.Wewill get an occasional cold ight but no real frosts anymore.

No, farmer. I did not recognize the word
and therefore, I looked it up. Dictionary.com sets forth:

viticulture [vit-i-kuhl-cher]  
noun
1. the culture or cultivation of grapevines; grape-growing.
2. the study or science of grapes and their culture.

I accepted that definition and I was referring to that.






Thay can be dangerous; their seeds.
In 1986, I awoke 1 nite in pain. I suspected the possibility
of appendicitis. It turned out to be diverticulitis,
either of which can afflict u with lethal peritonitis.

My physician advised against ingesting any particulates, e.g. seeds,
because, as u age, u get progressively more diverticular sacs
in your intestines. An alien particle can cause inflamation,
worthy of being avoided. The moral of the story is:
the older u get, the farther u shud stay away from tomatos.

Decency requires u to WARN your chickons
of this menace to their contentment & well-being.

vegetables are able to defeat an assailant with a gun.
SO your garden should always have several defensive and offensive varietals
