This might sound weird, but I wish I could grow a vegetable garden. Let me explain real quick. Our well water is horrible for plants (alkali and sodium) and kills most things. Soooo, we pump water out of our reserviours (which hold runoff for our cattle, etc.) into a tank on our pickup...then...

I'm not sure about the stunted growth issue, but I have to say I LOVE the kitchen window shelf and lights! You are all inspiring me with your pictures here to get out my grow lights and get planting! It's about the right time for zone 3...well, at least this is when I usually get it done :)...

Bringing flowers indoors to enjoy is one of my favorite things in the world...sounds like we all are is this way!:throw Starting as early in the spring as we can here in zone 3, we pick whatever we can find to make bouquets out of. Lilacs are the first from the garden, but we find many native...

We live in north central Montana~about 60 miles north of Lewistown. We...

hello~can anyone recommend a sunflower variety that would grow will in a large container? We are planning a 'ranch hoedown' reception for our daughter's wedding and would like to do a sunflower theme. My husband has built some large container boxes (about 2'X2'X2') out of old barn wood. I...

Thank You for the nice welcome! I'm glad you'll be visiting the website! BTW~I LOVE Biscotti!! That is so cool and I am bookmarking that too!;)
