Garden Struggles We All Face: A Q&A with Courtney Hale Revia 7 Oaks Event Garden
Q: What are the main weed challenges right now at 7 Oaks?
The primary issues are nut grass and dollar weed, with moisture and drainage being major drivers of their growth; proper preemergent timing and physical removal of roots are key.
Growing Eggplant & Cucumbers in Zone 9a | When to Plant, Common Mistakes & Tips with Paul Lemoine
Q: Do you recommend direct seeding or transplanting cucumbers, and why?
Direct seeding is generally preferred because cucumbers hate transplant shock and germinate quickly when conditions are right; starting indoors can help in cooler climates but transplanting cucumbers often leads to poorer establishment.
Growing Eggplant & Cucumbers in Zone 9a | When to Plant, Common Mistakes & Tips with Paul Lemoine
Q: What are the main challenges you see with cucumbers, and how do you address them?
Pollination issues are common; you may need to hand-pollinate with a small brush if bees are scarce, and maintain consistent moisture to prevent yellow, misshapen fruit. Wind and cool nights can also stress seedlings, so timing and climate control are key.
Growing Eggplant & Cucumbers in Zone 9a | When to Plant, Common Mistakes & Tips with Paul Lemoine
Q: When do you plant eggplants and cucumbers in a home garden?
We aim for a warm window in spring, typically delaying planting until soil and air temperatures are consistently warm; cucumbers especially benefit from a stable warm period and can be transplanted if started indoors, while cucumbers often perform better direct-seeded and then trellised.
Growing Tomatoes in Zone 9a: Planning, Varieties & Early Planting Tips with Paul Lemoine
Q: When do you start tomatoes for the season and what is your transplant timeline?
I start seeds in January, move them up as true leaves appear, and target transplant to the garden in the third to fourth week of February, using up-potting to build sturdy plants and protect them from cold snaps with lightweight plastic cage protection.
