Don't give up yet. Maybe she's just a little trailer shy. ;)

Along that same theme...Traveler. Of course the first one I thought of was... Forever... ala journey to forever. :P

I have become a fan of fermenting the seeds the last few years. Cut the tomato in half and squeeze seeds into a glass jar, plastic container, something and add a little water. I take a piece of plastic ( have been cutting off bread wrappers) secure on top with a rubber band and poke some holes...

You can make a chewing gum out of the resin from sweet gum trees. However, it's rather nasty tasting as I remember, it has been many moons since I tried that one. The older folks always talked about it when I was a kid, so I tried it. Bazooka was MUCH better! :lau

This may be a stupid question, but are you sure it's a maple? Looks a lot like a sweet gum to me. :)

Eastern red cedar? I have thought of doing the same thing myself to use as boundary trees. Slow growing and drought tolerant once established. The smaller the seedling the shorter the tap root will be and they grow a tap root rapidly. Depending on the size of the trees, I would think next spring...

That could be a "prospective" alternative!

:welcome Amending "clay hard enough to break a shovel". There's a subject a lot of us on here are familar with. Add and keep adding organic materials. Grass clippings, chopped up leaves, compost, etc. It can be a slow process, but it does work over time. Iron plant is an evergreen that does...

I have no idea 'zilla sorry. The shapes of the pears and the coloring is so varied. I first thought bosc at the coloring of some of the pears. I think some do look like a bosc both color and shape, but then others look so dis-similar. :idunno

Refrigerating slows the ripening process. So, you can store them until you are ready to do something with them. I generally stick them in the fridge for a day or 2 or 5 , depending on how busy or lazy I am and then seperate out the ripe from the green, depending on what I going to attempt to...

This may be wayyyyy off, but it kind of looks like a magnolia seed pod.

Yes, a kind of a sucker. Suckers on grapes are cut out to increase the size of what fruit is produced. It depends on how much pruning the vines are getting. The easiest way to root a scuppernong is to layer it. They do it naturally just by "suckers" that fall over into contact with the soil and...

Looks a lot like a muscadine to me. :)

Hmmmmm.....only 2? I vote for apple. Something suitable for your area, which the nursery should carry and can tell you quite a bit about. Apple trees produce a lot longer than peach trees, as a general rule, so get the apple in and get some peach trees later. For the scuppernongs, look around...

Leather Britches aka Shucky Beans This is from The Progressive Farmer: Southern Country Cookbook circa 1972 Old Time foods section You snap off the ends and string the pods, then with a needle and thread, pierce the center bean of each pod. Hang and dry away from dampness until the pods...

If it wasn't there before you cleared the garden spot, I suspect the non composted horse manure or the duck and chicken manure or maybe both. Have you seen it anywhere else on the property? It kind of hard to tell in the photo, but it brings to mind barnyard grass or johnson grass, although both...

Hi RD! :welcome Sugar Babies take about 80 days, give or take a few days, so sounds like yours should be ready pretty soon now. Press a fingernail against the rind and see if it leaves a little indentation or not. If not, then it is a likely candidate for being ready. Also, the bottom where it...

Sorry Sparkles, I haven't ever seen any thing like this on my squash. If you have had a lot of rain/humid conditions lately, that could be a cause. I associate moisture/humidity with mold growth. However, if the fruits seem to be fine...well maybe it's not really a problem? Is it possible that...

The usual suspects that will eat the leaves off are going to be horn worms and army worms. I just inspect (with a cup of coffee in hand early morning)and hand pick the worms when I can find them. The earlier you can find them, the less damage they will do. Conversely the larger they get, the...

Yes you can! No danger of tearing the fence up either. Just expect a couple hard to harvest cukes, as they will insist on forming in between the holes in the fence... not all, just a few :)
