I have 2 praying mantis sacks in my garden. How do I store them through the winter for hatching next spring?
Posted by Milly in Garden & Landscape on 01 30th, 2009They are attached to a Thai Basil plant which will die off with the first real frost, leaving the sacks exposed to birds etc. I have a very cold room in my apartment, should the sacks be kept there in a paper bag or paper container?

My spring garden still has a small, sunny unused space. I’d like to plant 1 pumpkin & 1 w-melon hill.Bad idea?
Posted by Milly in Garden & Landscape on 01 18th, 2009I know that these plants need lots of room, and good drainage. The space in question does not meet the 6ft row spacing x 4ft hill spacing; however, can they be grown using some sort of caging or containment method? The available space has about 3-4ft of spacing from the main garden area (just enough worked up soil for 2 hills). I thought it would be a fun project for me and my 5 yr old daughter to try and grow a jack-o-latern for use in October, and also some watermelon for summer enjoyment. Both of the plants to be used are “med-large fruit with trailing vines” varieties-which I prefer to have (not the miniatures). Can I grow these sprawling plants with success (using some containment method)? Thanks.
