Oh OK I thought that was strange. I just read too fast I think. I reread the reply and understand exactly what you are saying now. We have discussed among neighbors about the whitefly problem. What you suggested about going to our county to resolve it would be like a kitty cat trying to bury...

I'm in Islamorada. Where do I start? It's on every plant that I care about growing the most. It's on my Marigolds, tomatoes, peppers of all sorts, hibiscus, and okra. It's not on my beans, dill, or basil though. I've changed soil all year, I've changed seeds out, I've tried chemical...

I am just going to give up on gardening until I relocate I guess! I've tried everything on this planet to get rid of them for the past year. Name it, I've tried it. This whole island is infested with it I think. Uggh. My plants are my passion but I have been defeated. Whitefly prevailed.

Found this neato idea on stubmle today. Just thought it was great. Homemade seedling pot.

ok thanks guys. :)

Is this whitefly?

Here is where I found out about the seeds. This backyard gardner is in the same zone as myself. She has 3 parts to the "well traveled tomato" seeds. Take a peek. http://www.daniellecopeland.com/2008/02/well-travelled-tomato-part-1.html?showComment=1202050020000

The "Well Traveled Tomato" was given out for free. You have to do logs and report back etc. A blogger had tried them with great success. So this is why I was curious. To see if anyone else has gotten their hands on them or anything like that etc. I see most everyone thinks it's a big No No...

Has anyone here tried these types of tomato seeds? Apparently they don't get diseases or leaf curl and the such? Curious!

Cabbage rolls sound good, but I don't eat meat yet. Plus my freezers are...well they are 10 months pregnant. :)

The only thing I have is a pressure canner. One of them Prestos. I started canning about a year ago actually. I love it. I'm going to see if I can find that Ball Blue Book online. I'm making that soup as I type. I'll post pics in a bit and give you a heads up on the taste. As for canning...

Here is a simple recipe for cabbage soup. Can someone help me out with how to properly preserve this? Or is it not a good idea? 1 tablespoon olive oil 1 large onion, chopped 1/2 head of cabbage (a whole head weighs about 2 1/2 pounds), chopped Salt to taste 15 ounce can diced tomatoes (save...

I have about 12 heads of cabbage here. I really don't want to make sour kraut, well i do, but it's way too time consuming plus it's too hot down here. Is there other ways besides freezing the cabbage to preserve it? Maybe a cabbage tomato soup recipe for canning anyone can help me out with...

I live in the keys. I can't believe I didn't think of caramalizing the onions and popping them in the freeze. What about canning caramalized onions? Do you think I could do that? And for the peppers, I've froze bells many times and when i reuse them they are not crispy. Kind of a mooshy...

I have at least 50 bell peppers and about 20 lbs. of spanish onions. I hate to see them go to waste. I gave as many as I could away but this is what I have left. What can I do with them? I've never heard of canning onions, and I know peppers turn to mush after freezing. Any suggestions...
