Haha! Awesome.

Okay so....a friend of mine has a rather large Trumpet and, (I know, I know....you all are running the theme song from Psycho in your heads going "Don't do it!!") But, what can I say, I have always admired it. Now I knooow Trumpets are terribly invasive....I saw how the runners came up in the...

Well! It's been a while since I've posted, but I would like to brag that both my arti plants are happy, healthy, quite large and putting out buds! There is one large central bud on each and 3 or 4 others coming out the sides! Hooray for beginner artichoke success! Now....about how big should I...

Transplanted them today....hope that helps...

This is an interesting thread, I am nterested in canning, my grandma has done jelly/jams, salsa, tomatoes and pickles before and they were great. I would eventually love to do Tomato sauce, salsa, and pickles....don't have much time for anything else and not a big enough garden yet...

Oooh, yeah when to pick them is a good point...thanks majorcatfish!

So...a related question...I know broccoli will bolt if you wait too long to cut it but is it bad for you if you eat it after it blooms? Or does it just taste bad?

Yup, chickens are wonderful compost turners as long as you don't mind them flinging it around :pop Love to watch them work
