    OK to plant tomatoes here?

    We recently took our 2 pigs to the market, and I was planning on putting the tomatoes in that area. It should get the 8 hours of sunlight, but it might be a bit less. Does this seem like a good plan?

    What a day!!! Where do I begin?!

    One of my favorite things to do when we go to Cold Sone Creamery is to pay for the people behind me. Then quick get out the door before they can be all gushy and say thanks. What's better than a surprise free ice cream???

    What Are You Planting Today, This Week, This Month?

    I am planting the idea of 2 piglets to grow through next winter into my DH's subconscious (sp?). That way, in the fall, he'll think it was his idea to grow our own bacon!

    Interesting Potato Growing Kit

    I saw one where they wrapped chicken wire around 4 or 5 of those green metal posts, then they kept adding layers of dirt and straw. My question is when it's done that way, do you harvest the potatoes all at once? And, if so, how do you do it? Do you just pull off the chicken wire and it all...

    fastest bearing fruit...?

    I'd like that Olive Bread recipe, please. I've never made truly homemade bread. I bought the active yeast a week or two ago, and I'm looking for a plain bread recipe that is a known success before I try it.

    dogs vs lawn

    Somewhere I heard that giving your dog tomato juice to drink would help with the yellow spots in the lawn..... I think it was on one of those morning news shows. If I remember correctly, it was like 8 oz a day. You could probably google it to check.

    Just getting started

    The pools are the little round ones. They can't be but 4 feet across at best. I planned on putting the watermelon along the edge and letting it drape over. I had planned on putting all the tomatoes into one pool, but I like the idea of a hanging basket, and I have 3 of those already. I...

    Just getting started

    Hi everyone, We are just doing 2 small raised beds for a garden this year. Actually, they're not even really raised beds, I'm using 2 small baby pools! : ) It's been along time since I gardened, and all I really did was put out a few of tomato plants. So, with all that being said, I'm...
