Growfood.com » Q. I have celery transplants which I have grown, and need to know when they should be put out. Can they go out with the cool season crops, which I have already transplanted, or should I wait until our frost date is past? A. The Garden Master and Garden Wizard CD’s both have a section called Preview Plants in the Garden Designer. This is a terrific resource for learning when to plant almost all common vegetables. Some of you may even have one or the other of these CD’s and perhaps haven’t noticed this large illustrated database of helpful information. I highly recommend everyone consider owning one of these. The Garden Wizard has the complete Garden Designer Software, and is less than $10. When added to the Mittleider Gardening Library, you have a very valuable and comprehensive library of vegetable production knowledge that many Agriculture Universities and County Extension Agents around the USA, as well as in other countries, own and use. Both are available in The Store. In Preview Plants, there are 5 categories for every plant, including Planting, Fertilizing, Watering, Weeding, and Other Notes. Here is a part of what the Garden Designer says in Preview Plants for Celery – Planting: “Celery is a cool-season plant that is frost tolerant. Transplant seedlings 3 to 4 weeks before the last frost of spring, 2 rows per bed, 6″ apart”.

Q. Have planted a row of green beans in my small garden. They aren’t coming up very well. I followed the package directions. I Have two plants that are looking fairly good (leaves). The others are coming up looking like sticks and the leaves are just barely starting to show on one or two. What have I done wrong?

A. Here’s how we plant bean seeds:
1) Make a straight SHALLOW furrow along the sides of your soil-bed with the end of the HANDLE of your rake or hoe.
2) Place bean seeds 2″ apart in the furrows.
3) Cover with 1/8-1/4″ of SAND.
4) Water carefully, so as not to uncover the seeds.
5) Keep the soil MOIST – watering every day.

These procedures give your seeds the very best chance to germinate and make it into the light of day.

Beyond the actual planting, you should make sure that you apply a Pre-Plant mix of lime, magnesium (Epsom Salt), and boron (20 Mule Team Borax) in a ratio of 80-4-1, at the rate of one ounce per running foot of soil-bed, mixed into the soil before planting. In addition apply the complete mineral nutrient mix called Weekly Feed at the rate of 1/2 ounce per foot, also mixed with the soil. Then, after your plants are up, apply the Weekly Feed mix every 7 days until 3 weeks before maturity.
