I'm planting a blueberry plant in the morning. Anybody grow blueberries before? Any tips.

How large a plant? Blueberry is a pretty easy shrub to tend. Lots of sun and keep the roots moist and prune regularly.

Right now it's in a 1 gallon pot.

Spinach is looking good, too. Anyone ever grown spinach before?

Yes, and it will grow like a weed if you ignore the rooting. Your's controlled and looks good so far. Just keep an eye out.

Question: When can I start harvesting? Is this the type of plant that I can pick when the size is 'right' (like in the foreground of the picture) and it will continue to replenish?

Pick from the outside in. You can eat everything you see in that picture.

Thanks, That's what I thought.

Another question (why do I always think of you when I need info on...pretty much anything?)... the leaves turning yellow...chuck 'em? more water? test lime/soil?

Because I give straight answers as much as possible? :shrug:

You can still eat the yellow leaves. It's when spinach is brown, they are rotted and lost most of its mineral value. If you don't want to waste the yellow and you're not interested in eating them as is, you can even cook it or compost it with lawn clippings. But yeah, I would just chuck them and not really get too picky about the soil, mainly because it's a cheap and easy crop to begin with. Save the effort for higher maintenance plants, and when you need to split and pull the roots from your master plants to prevent uncontrollable spreading.

Wife and kids added strawberries, carrots, watermelons, pumpkins, lettuce, and I think cucumbers to the garden. Already have some tomato's coming in and one green pepper.

For the spinach, pluck away. Once the height of summer has passed, plant again for a 2nd crop.

Decided to dig up all my plants and put them a box to raise them up. Lots of standing water from recent storms. Hope it work. Remember I have a broken arm. That was some freaking hard work.

We've got some camomile, chives, parsley, shallots and mint growing though. I didn't realize mint was so invasive. Should have potted it.

Got the summer stuff in today. Now have broccoli, cauliflower, spinach, two types of onions, 4 type of tomatoes, 5 types of peppers, squash and zucchini.

Thinking of planting a garden again this year (if the fence I put up can keep my dog from getting in the garden), I typically grow tomatoes and cucumbers but I am thinking of doing some zucchini and tomatoes instead. Has anyone grown zucchini before? Any advice and is really any different then growing cucumbers?

Nah...not really. They're pretty similar to grow. Weed early and often so the plant gets the majority of the water...
