Squash is one of those fast-growing plants that can get out of control indoors, in a hurry. I certainly wouldn't advise starting it indoors or outside until the soil has warmed up and you don't expect any more frost. Maybe middle of May in your area. To keep animals or birds from getting to...

How old is your orange tree?

Now you all have got me wanting to try some again. I tried a few years ago, but the plants remained scrawny and kind of disappeared. Or maybe weed-whacked. Once I decided to sprout the seeds indoors, but then I forgot about them and the sprouted seeds dried up. :rolleyes: My mother used to...

I think it would be a problem. Whether you get a lot of rain, or just a little, that water trough is probably not going to be right. One thing you could do is fill it about 1/3 with filler of some kind, like rocks or Styrofoam or aluminum cans, then set big pots (with holes in the bottom) onto...

Hi, and Welcome from SE Missouri. Did you grow vegetables or flowers (or both) in last year's garden? Can you be more specific in your location? You can put it under your avatar, like zone 5b or whatever. There are several people here that live in the NW. Digit'S, Thistlebloom and Collector, to...

It seems like I always start seeds too early, and they end up way too big before I can get them set out. Besides, my lights only cover a finite space. Gotta keep them all in the light. But by the time the tomatoes and peppers and annual flowers are taking up all the room, the early crops can be...

I made the mistake years ago, of placing my compost pile near some vines that really went root wild in the nice compost. Now I can't turn it without getting in there with an axe to chop roots. :rolleyes:

I've got some I used to make a low hoop house a few years ago. It was only out in the elements one season. I may use it again. I want a tall hoop house. I want a green house, actually. May as well dream big, right?

I really liked his singing. I had an 8 track of his greatest hits. "By the Time I Get to Phoenix" was one of my faves.

Wow, many of those I haven't seen before. Does this chart tell what region or era those were used in?

Hey Smart Red, we all miss your wit and wisdom here. I hope you enjoy your birthday, where ever you are!

Hey! Happy Birthday to you! I hope you get to do something fun.

There's an old recipe for a cold remedy that is just chopped onions that has sat in honey for a day or two. A spoonful of that mixture will really help a sore throat, cough, etc. @seedcorn, I bet some of those fermented jalapenos mixed with honey and onions/garlic would really be a good cold...

Maybe you could fill in the gap on the canning while she is at work. Heh, who am I kidding? I don't have time or industry to can and I am fully retired.

It started out about 55 today, but when the sun came out, the west wind whipped up and the temps dropped. It was sunny but with brutal cold wind. Blew the chickens away. :p

Yep, it works!

Haha, I'm pretty sure that is supposed to be "cook on LOW" .

Me too. I like things spicy but not too hot. I could never understand the idea of making things so hot it hurts to eat it.

We just got rain rain rain, and wind wind wind. Now it turned cold. Love January in Missouri.

We're getting a very rainy weekend. Perhaps up to 6". Stormy, windy, but not cold.
