Cotton Rohrscheib ·

2026/04/10

I’ve had a lot of people reach out to me for advice on what they should use to fill their raised beds. I’ve used different techniques over the years but this is pretty much my standard plan moving forward based on everything that I’ve learned through the years… Raised beds can make epic harvests… but […]

Getting a Late Start in the Garden

Cotton Rohrscheib ·

2026/03/31

The other day I was on Facebook and noticed that one year ago my garden was already planted and I had a pretty impressive stand of celery, spinach, lettuce, and a few other things. What’s crazy is that as of today I haven’t even started on my raised beds. It wasn’t that long ago we […]The post Getting a Late Start in the Garden first appeared on Cotton Rohrscheib.

2026/01/22

I was actually working on a checklist of things to do in preparation for the winter storm we have coming in this weekend when I noticed one of my co-workers shared a document in our slack channel that was much more comprehensive than my list, so I’m stealing his… credit goes to Will Scott. Emergency […]

Check Your Cucumber Plants for Anthracnose

Cotton Rohrscheib ·

2025/06/12

I was just out looking at my cucumber plants this morning at my home in central Arkansas after being gone for a few days and found signs of anthracnose on the leaves. This is a pretty nasty disease that is kinda common w/ cucumbers (especially in the mid-south). This disease can really cut yields if […]

Invasive and Toxic Predatory Hammerhead Worms...

Cotton Rohrscheib ·

2022/05/11

This past weekend I shared on my social channels that I had discovered a hammerhead worm in one of our landscape beds at our residence in Central Arkansas. I was sort of surprised at first because I had never actually seen one in person before, only pictures online warning these predatory worms were making their […]

Cotton Rohrscheib ·

2022/01/16

My role at Farmers Business Network has given me the opportunity to work with multiple growers in the mid-south that have implemented cover crops into their farming practices and their results have been quite impressive. Since my raised beds were completely new this past season I have several issues to contend with during the off-season […]

My 2022 Raised Bed Garden Design & Layout

Cotton Rohrscheib ·

2022/01/06

One of my big takeaways after using my new raised beds for the first time last season was that everything seemed pretty crowded from mid-season on. This season I’ve carefully planned the layout to make sure that doesn’t happen again when plants really start adding mass and foliage mid-season. Last season I had 4 tomato […]

The other day I shared the new layout for the new raised bed gardens at our Central Arkansas residence along w/ some bullet points of things that I learned last season in our first season in these new beds. It’s always good to take notes in-season so you don’t forget to review and make changes […]

2020/07/27

This past weekend I enlisted the help of a few relatives to assist in catching, holding, and tagging our backyard birds while Donna and I clipped their wings. This poultry rodeo was quite comical but we managed to get the job done a lot faster than I thought we would. We came up w/ some […]

Pruning Tomato Plants for Maximum Yield and Extended...

Cotton Rohrscheib ·

2020/07/20

Late last season when my tomato plants had almost played out for the season due to some fungus issues that I wasn’t able to control, someone told me about aggressively pruning tomato plants (indeterminate varieties) to maximize yields and extend the growing season by keeping plants healthy and productive. This was something new to me, […]

Why I Grow Indeterminate Tomato Varieties in my...

Cotton Rohrscheib ·

2020/07/20

I like to plant indeterminate tomato varieties because they start growing the minute I transport them outside and do not stop until we have our first frost. Some varieties can grow to become 6′ to 20′ feet tall and will continue to produce fruit the entire growing season. In central Arkansas I’ve had really good […]

My Second Attempt at Growing Sugar Kiss and Honey...

Cotton Rohrscheib ·

2020/06/22

A couple of years ago my mom turned me onto the “sugar kiss” and “honey kiss” melons that would occasionally show up in our local wal-mart and sams club produce sections. These melons strongly resemble a canteloupe –however, they are 10x sweeter than you can imagine and their texture is completely different. I sat down […]

Our 2020 Raised Bed Garden

2020/06/22

This was our second year to plant a raised bed garden at our place in Conway. What I lacked last season in production was balanced out with a tremendous amount of education when it comes to “square foot gardening.” Last season I ran into some issues w/ my tomatoes, cucumbers, and melons because of disease.

2020/06/01

I guess if you have to pick one positive thing about the whole COVID-19 thing and the subsequent “shelter in place thing”, for me it would have to be the ability to get caught up on thousands of household projects that I had been putting off or thinking about that were still unchecked on my […]

2019/09/01

Once my 2019 raised bed garden was pretty well finished I cleaned and tilled my beds and placed all of the remaining materials into compost and began researching cover crops.
