Nathan green bay: When is the best time to plant asparagus and strawberry crowns? before or after first frost date?
A: Right now is the best time to plant crowns it will give them time to sprout and photosynthesize during the warm summer months. Once planted the asparagus roots will spread both vertically and horizontally underground You may not get any berries this year.

I live in an apartment and I have a small patio. I would love to grow some veggies there. The problem is there is not a lot of sun there. Are there any veggies that don't need a lot of sun?

I normally plant my indeterminate tomatoes horizontally in garden bed.
i have some determinants, and was wondering if u can plant them horizontal? i was reading u shouldnt trim much off the bottom of them. so thought maybe no i shouldn't plant horizontal, cuz horizontal i trim all off but very top..

PLEASE I NEEDS HELP I have a compost pile of heats up but it smells like ammonia why?

A: If your compost smells sour like ammonia, the most common reason is too much green material and/or a lack of brown material. You should use 2 to 3 times as much browns as greens. ..
