The root pieces were planted in mid-June and most emerged by early July. Turmeric is another member of the ginger family grown for its root, which makes a yellow spice popular in Indian dishes and used to make prepared mustard.

Then harvest them all. Pole bean seeds can be planted directly in the garden around a pole or trellis in May in the northern gardening zones, and they will be ready to harvest in about 60 to 70 days.

The new plant doesn't emerge from the ground until about one week after planting. Once the pod dries, it is likely to shatter during harvest, leading to seed loss. Harvest dates are determined by the crop conditions, since the maturity rate is affected...

Placing a light material such as cheesecloth over the seeds will establish enough of a barrier that they will be encouraged to grow unhindered outwards rather than upwards while still allowing light to reach them.

Without rooting hormone, the cuttings take about eight weeks to develop roots.Layering is another method used to propagate rosemary quickly, because the branch remains attached to the original plant and continues to receive nutrients from it.

Saguaro cacti, for example, grow only 1 inch in the first eight years of life. The plants grow during the spring and summer, followed by a dormant period in the fall and winter.To encourage reasonable growth, plant your cactus in a shallow pot with a...

Radishes will thrive in a seedbed with proper drainage. Radishes do best when grown in sandy, well-draining soils. Work the compost and fertilizer into the first 6 inches of the seedbed.

The male pumpkin flower will usually appear first, and are attached to a straight stem. Plant seeds 1 inch deep, placing four to six seeds in each hill. Before planting, add 1 to 2 tablespoons of 4-8-5 or 6-10-10 fertilizer to each hill.

Before planting, consider testing your soil's nutrients levels and texture. United States Forest Service employees have seen 27-year-old trees that are barely 5 feet tall due to this life-saving phenomenon.Height may not always indicate the tree's rate...

The best time for planting garlic is fall, and fall-planted garlic matures in about eight months. Spread a 2-inch layer of garden compost, well-rotted manure, leaf mold or other organic matter around the garlic plants, but don't allow the mulch to touch...

This allows the plant to put more energy into the roots of the plant, encouraging vigorous growth in future years. Plants from seeds commonly develop slowest and should be started in containers indoors about four weeks before the seedlings can be transplanted...

Habaneros have measured Scoville units of 350,000 to 550,000. They are a rich source of Vitamin C as well as capsaicin, the substance in hot peppers that is believed to exhibit antimicrobial properties.

It is also drought tolerant. When your indoor plant appears lackluster and leaves yellow or wilt then you may need to repot the plant or control its growth through both root and shoot pruning.

Another option is to lay black plastic over the soil two weeks before planting bean seeds. Wait until daytime temperatures are above 75 degrees Fahrenheit before planting bean seeds for fast germination.Many people soak bean seeds before planting, but...

If you want to maintain a smaller tree, you will need to prune it frequently. This tree thrives in hardiness zones 6 to 10.The amount of time it takes to grow your Leyland cypress 12 feet depends on the size you start with.

Pecan trees serve both as home landscaping trees and as food production. Some pecan trees may take 10 to 12 years to move beyond vegetative growth into fruiting maturity.The exact time to maturity for any given pecan tree depends on a number of factors.

Note differences in germination rates as well as visually watching the seed transform through the glass jar walls. Not tolerant of frost, lima bean seeds are sown in moist, fertile soil that is at least 65 degrees Fahrenheit.A general time frame for germination...

Use a well-draining potting mix, and place the bulb concave side up (so it looks like a bowl) on the surface of the soil. A tuberous begonia in bloom is a spectacular sight. The pot will wick the water up the soil, but water will not sit in the concave...

This is a very quick method of germinating cucumber seeds, although the cucumber seeds germinated in this manner may not be as hardy as those that have germinated in soil. In colder conditions, the germination time can be up to three weeks.You can germinate...

Either cover the seeds in water or wrap them in damp paper towels.Another way to increase the chances of germination is to freeze the seeds before planting, according to the Clemson University Extension.

Once lilies bloom, they stop growing and simply gather food for the next year's growth. American native tiger lilies are the latest bloomers, 100 to 120 days after spring growth starts.Gardeners may choose several varieties from two or more classes of...
