    I checked that out too. Only thing, this plant is tall. 2 1/2 - 3 ft tall. Do cresses grow that tall?

    help identifying plant

    I left this seedling grow this spring. I thought at first it was a cardinal flower. It DEFINITELY is not . It has these tiny, tiny flowers in clusters at the tips of the stems. It must be a wildflower, but what is it?

    Confused about garlic

    I'm in zone 6b. I grow garlic, and have never covered it with anything. It has always survived. It has always sprouted before spring, and it's never been a problem. Forgot to add that mine's in a raised bed also, but this is the first year there. I'm thinking one good thing about that is that it...

    Vanilla Extract...

    I make vanilla all the time. I used to use vodka, but I have found I like rum better. Not the spiced, of course!

    If you like horseradish...

    I absolutely :love horseradish, and planted some this spring in an old (free!!) galvanized washtub. My question is can I use prepared horseradish from the store? I don't know if mine is ready or not, or when do you harvest it? Here is a recipe that was in Allyou magazine for horseradish...

    liriope

    Hi, All! About a month and a half ago I planted small liriope plants on either side of my driveway. I want them to grow together to form an accent bed. Anyway, I haven't mowed between them, because they are 18 in. apart, and I was afraid it would kill them. This past Sunday I spent quite a bit...

    NE MN wildflowers, ID please

    Not asclepias tuberosa. The leaves are all wrong, IMHO. Not sure what it is, though.

    any tropical plant experts?

    I had brought these seeds back from a cruise with my mother a couple of years ago. I finally got around to planting them. I believe they came from somewhere along the coast of Mexico. The name escapes me. Anyway, the one with the single leaves came from a seed that was crescent shaped, very big...

    Am I a good buggie or a bad buggie?

    I had read somewhere that they are attracted to the color yellow(the moths that turn into the squash bugs) and that you should put out a yellow container filled with water. The moths are attracted to the yellow color, and then drown. I put a container out that I spray painted yellow and stuck it...

    I'm SO excited!

    That's how I'm going to grow it. last week I was sitting on my front porch swing, and looked across the street at my neighbor's garbage. He had one of those galvanized wash tubs out. I walked over and asked him if he minded if I took it. He said no, that it leaked. I said I was going to use it...

    I went to Wal-Mart yesterday

    Here's what I take to the store with me. I have one in blue, just like the pink one, and I have one in red, with a white leghorn roo and hen, with a farm scene across the top. That one is a Walmart bag that had chicken feed in. Some nice lady in Virginia from BYC sent me that bag. Anyway, my...
