I want to buy some yellow and orange tomato seeds (heirloom variety only please, no hybrids). Size of the fruit isn't important. If anyone has any they'd like to sell, please let me know! :D

My boys pee on my compost pile all the time. If I catch they peeing somewhere else they are directed back to the pile. People raise a brow when they see it but I don't care.

I am SO ready for spring! :D

I'm wondering what everyone else uses to frame their raised beds. I have a surplus of railroad ties but am having a really bad feeling about using them. I was told red wood can't be used if you want your garden to be certified organic. I have pine logs that we cut from the mountains but those...

hahaha! nothing to be jealous of! If you come help plant you'll never be jealous of my garden! LOL :gig

I did a test a few years ago. I planted from seed and also planted the same plants from transplants bought from the store to see which produced better. The seeded plants out grew and out produced the transplanted plants by 400%. I will and have only planted by seed ever since that trial. I love...

I also am growing mine in straw and am quite the newbie at growing potatoes. This is so fun. I wonder if yams would grow well in straw........hmm....
