Cucumber, cherry tomato's, eggplant, beans and peaches.

Thanks! good post Rosalind makes sense.

I have found 3 tomato worms this year after noticing leaves being eaten I fed them to my chickens, have others been affected by these worms?

I was under the inpression that you do very little pruning on your apple and cherry trees, on the other hand you prune the plums and peaches back by 2/3's to keep producing fruit, I had made the mistake of cutting my apple tree back and it produce very few apples but when I pruned a little I got...

We picked pole bean leaves and had them for dinner last night, they were cooked a frying pan with a little soy sauce and garlic, my wife tells me they are good to eat when it is hot and they cleanse the stomach and are good for reducing? our chickens can't get enough of the leaves from our pole...

Has anyone else ever eaten bean leaves? They turned out a little like spinach the stem needs to be removed, we had them with a little soy sauce and garlic, cooked in a fry pan. Our chickens love the pole and bush bean leaves along with our corn stalk leaves.

Were still picking blackberries, had our first apples yesterday, zucinni, cucumbers, pole peans, onions, peaches soon, figs are looking good, pole beans are now flowering, and lots of tomatoes.

Squash, tomato's, bush beans, blackberries, soon cucumbers, and maybe peaches and apples then the figs are doing fine, it getting to be harvest time almost.

I also started on BYC

Our mint grows along our creek and it has spread, probally because we let it go to seed, I will weed eat it and it bounces right back.

I agree do some weeding daily, by hand or hoe.

What kind of rooster is that in your picture?
