Thank you so much. ;)

Hi everyone, How should I freeze carrots for stews that I will make this fall? Par-boil first? For how long? or ????? Thank you. Anne

Is this as simple as puting some leaves in a jar and just letting them dry out, crushing and then I have dried basil? My basil crop is beautiful this year and I would love to preserve some. Anne

I have grown broccoli for years and this is the first time it is bitter. I picked heads, did not wash, bagged it, and put in the fridge (as I have done many times) until ready to cook. Usually within a few days. It is so bitter that I have had to throw it away. Even the chickens won't eat it...

Thank you Tinychicken and Pat, Great information and just what I needed to know. I just love this forum. Anne

I planted garlic for the first time several months ago. How do I tell when it is ready to harvest? And do I have to dry it out before I use it? The thin greenery above ground is about 12" tall. Thanks for your help. Anne

very nice. Anne

Mine are growing tall, thick and flowering. I am very excited as this is the 2nd year I have grown potatos and oh my, they are fabulous. Anne

Invisable fence. I have installed one around our property and a ring around my garden. Keeps my dogs on my property and out of my garden. Works extremely well.

Thank you for your service. And welcome home (almost) Anne

Interesting, what are the differences among those 3 varieties? I have 2 varieties of thornless blackberry vines that produce a tremendous quantity every other year. I wonder if the difference is annual production? I would be interested to know what you have discovered. Anne
