The condemned beetle ate a hearty meal! like it
that doesn’t sound nice they get rid of the slugs then you feed them to birds who in turn eat all your seeds

Organic Vegetable Gardening – The Truly Natural Way
People who have tasted organically grown vegetables swear by its taste and find it extremely difficult to revert back to old eating habits. They often comment that one can taste the sweetness of the sun in the organically produced vegetables. So if it is the first batch of peppers during summers, the juice filled tomatoes, the first lettuce of the spring season or the pumpkins and squashes reaped in the season of autumn, the vegetables never tasted as better as they do when organically produced.
There are several other facts besides pleasing taste buds that justify the gradual movement of today’s society towards organically grown vegetables. Reliable scientific data testifies to the ill effects of fertilizers and chemical pesticides used in the orthodox cultivation methods. There is a clearly defined connection between diseases like cancer, neurological damages, hormonal imbalances and the chemicals that are used in non-organic cultivation. Organic vegetable farming is the need of the hour if we want to protect our children from the disastrous consequences of chemically produced vegetables. We all are aware that kids due to their lower tolerance levels are much more vulnerable to chemical residues as compared to adults.
Following are some important points that you must keep in mind during a transition to organic farming. These points will help you in maintaining the correct natural balance among the plants, animals, soil and the insects:
1. You must stop using all kinds of herbicides, synthetic fertilizers or pesticides. These chemicals do a lot of harm to human bodies in the long run.
2. You must develop the habit of not throwing the kitchen scraps into the garbage box. Instead, start turning that scrap into organically rich nutrient for your garden by making compost heaps.
3. Don’t go about killing the caterpillars and bugs in your garden. A lot of them actually help you in protecting your vegetable garden. There are books you can refer to obtain more knowledge about such good pests and bugs.
To get along successfully with the organic farming, you will have to learn to stop compacting your garden soil. Compacting normally done to get rid of the air gaps in soil bed. You must rather develop the habit of making pathways between the rows of planted crops, thus enabling you to reach and tend to each plant with ease. It is recommended to till the soil only once each in the season of spring and the fall.
Organic farming and water sprinklers don’t go together. The water sprinklers deliver water too fast for the soil to absorb effectively. Hence, it is a good idea to rather use a hose and use it slowly to wet the soil bed comprehensively. You can also try rotating the locations of crop cultivation year on year. This helps in effectively preventing pests and crop diseases.
In the organic method of vegetable cultivation, you will need to keep the garden bed regularly covered in organic mulch like grass clippings, straws or the chopped leaves. Such regularity will curb the weed growth and help the ground absorb water more effectively. This is one of the best methods to achieve optimum results for the organic vegetable garden.

Vegetables can be bought in supermarkets. These vegetables appear fresh and delicious to eat. But have you thought of how these vegetables were raised? Are they grown in a way that is healthy for your body? For you to be convinced that the vegetables that you are taking in are fresh and chemical free, you can try organic gardening vegetables.
The good thing about growing organic vegetables is that it is a desirable hobby you can do while you are dwelling at your house. Another reason why you need to grow your own organic vegetable is that you can be assured that you are taking in vegetables that are grown without making use of chemicals that will surely stick on the vegetable parts. Vegetables, which are propagated with the aid of commercially prepared pesticides and fertlizers, are not good for the body. These vegetables even if properly washed with water will still have chemical traces all over them.
Thus, it is very helpful if you have your own organic gardening vegetables. You can grow your own organic vegetable as long as you have information how to start and upkeep these organic garden. Like any other plants, you have to nourish it well because you will soon get these nutrients when these organic vegetables are ready to be harvested and eaten. It is not difficult to grow your own organic vegetables because you just have to supply all the growth requirements they need for their proper growth and development.
Here are some of the leading tips on how you can start and develop your own organic garden vegetables:
1) You have to select a vegetable variety that you want to grow as an organic vegetable. Knowing the vegetable variety that you are growing will help you what are their specific growth requirements, which will aid you in thew proper growing of your organic vegetable.
2) Preapre a soil that contains sufficient amounts of nutrients because these nutrients are very crucial in the proper growth and development of organic vegetables. You can make your soil full of essential nutrients if you give organic matter to the garden soil. Organic matter will supply the nutrients that the soil needs, and the soil will supply it to the growing organic vegetables.
3) You have to get rid of weeds that are growing in your organic garden. As you grow organic vegetables, make sure that the garden soil has already been cleared out from weeds. These weeds will take up the nourishment that you have prepared in your soil, which is supposed to be for your growing organic vegetables. Your organic vegetables will not grow healthily because the nutrients in the soil have been absorbed by the weeds.
4) You have to control or manage the number of pests in your organic garden. Pests will do no good to your growing organic garden because they will damage or destroy the parts of your plant. You can successfully control and manage the number of these pests by attracting beneficial insects to your organic garden. Beneficial insects will keep your growing organic vegetables healthy and free from damages.

Will I be able to re-seed my Thai dragon peppers from the plants I grow?
I am planting a garden next year. In it, I will have Thai dragon peppers, Pumpkins, and other types of things. The question is whether I will be able to re plant a garden the following year from the seeds collected from the initial plants. The seeds are non treated, organic. I know that most commercial seeds are sterile, meaning that their offspring won’t have viable seeds. Do pumpkin and pepper seed producers do this as well?
I have yet to find a reputable pepper farm that even bothers to go through the effort of creating sterile pepper seeds. There simply is no point, since most species seeds are available from any number of sources.
In general, the smaller farms don’t feel the need to dominate the market. They are mostly mom and pop type places who want to help spread some great stocks and maybe make a few bucks on the side.
Occasionally, you’ll find a place that even gives seeds away for free. Regal Peppers (www.regalpeppers.com) in St Augustine Florida, does that. Click the link, send your name and address, and they’ll have seeds to you the next shipping day, for the price of the postage.
Peppers will cross pollinate with other peppers unless you keep them separated either with distance or some “mechanical means like cheese cloth. And by distance, it is generally accepted that peppers can cross pollinate if they are within a mile of each other!! Totally unrealistic for most home gardens. But, even though they cross, the seeds should still be viable, just maybe not as pure a strain anymore.
