@RubberDuck I get all kinds of crap from folks who believe that all chemicals are bad, as I use more in a week (lawns, etc) than most gardeners use in their entire lifetime.
Sometimes you have to live with the fact that some freinds are idealists.
@J.Musser I do tend to stay away from raw chemicals if I can, but I don't judge. If you're cool with eating it, it doesn't bother me. Besides, we all get worse at the local grocery store.
Our issue actually had to do with row planting. I come from an "intensive" gardening culture.
To them it looks too crowded, but in reality I'm planting companions that like to be close to each other.
@LoneWolf I didn't this past year, other than 2000 sq. ft. of specialty sweet corn. I'm downsizing because of how well the landscaping and lawn care is growing.
If you want to draw attention to a question, or attract better answers, you can put one up. You can also award bounties to exceptionally good answers you think are worthy of a bonus.
@LoneWolf When were they planted, and what are they?
@LoneWolf Not really anything will grow if the ground is frozen. Kale can often withstand freezing, and is often left out and harvested through the winter. Otherwise, you generally have to go with the seasons, or use a greenhouse.
@LoneWolf Have you seen any of the other Sytack Exchange sites?
@J.Musser I remember asking a technical computer question a few years ago on a site that was called something else but was associated with stack exchange.
