Yeah the plastic I used in the spring fell apart when I went to put it on this fall. I love that you could nap in yours in January. I biggest problem I have is also sun light not because our sunlight is so much less as Steve because I am a little farther south but in Ohio, we have a lot of...

I have always heard that mint spreads so I have never planted that because of that, but I have also heard that about oregano and I have never had a problem with that. I think it will only spread as much as it is allowed. I have dug up extra oregano in the spring and potted it a couple of times...

:thumbsup This is sooooo true.

OK I put in an awesome herb garden and I loved it. Now we have frost hinting here and I am thinking of bringing in some of my herbs. I want to dry some of the sage (I have a ton of it), I want to pot my thyme and maybe some of the chives. I want to maybe transplant my parsley into a hoop...

OK I went with the small hoop houses over my raised beds last spring.... but I am really considered going with this type of a structure. How long do you use it into the fall and winter? What I am really thinking about doing is using this over two raised beds then using a cold frame into the...

I have started using some hoop houses this year. Easy to build and very effective. I used 10' PVC pipe covered in 4mil plastic and it worked great. I used clamps to help secure the plastic to the poles. I put them in the ground I with with a larger PVC pipe cut them into 2' pieces and...

I am a big whimp about hot peppers. I put a little bit of hungarian hots into something and think they are on fire. I don't even use the H- word in my garden just from fear. I take my hat off to you hot pepper folks.

Tha's exactly what I told my daughter it was. "A garden Breakfast" Today I made zucchini pickles and a squash gratin. Very yummy.

I have been looking for a really good recipe for peppers if you'ld like to share :) :drool

I made a frittata for breakfast this morning that was soooo good. I have an abundance of squash so I wanted to use some in breakfast. Any way, I browned a pound of sausage (could have gone with 1/2 that) in a large skillet, then added a grated onion and a grated squash and cook that until...

I disagree with this completely. I send my daughter to Catholic school because the public school are no longer fit for raising children. Our teacher's make much less have less benefits, work a longer school day then the public school teacher's because our school day is longer and the kids do...

:yuckyuck

The rabbits are everywhere this year. My German Sheppard is making the most of them. We have a fence and the rabbits go through it like it's not there.

I am having a lot of vine borers also. It is very sad

I like salty but you could try taking them out of the juice re-rinsing them and adding them to a less salty brine. Only problem is .... will the less salty brine be safe to keep the pickles all winter. Make sure you use enough to keep the bacteria in check or you could loose the whole batch...

Welcome and I am planting green onions, carrots, peas, broccoli, several types of lettuces and greens. I have my second batch of green beans in already. This is my first year of planting a fall garden. I have planted garlic in the fall but this is the first I am going to eat all fall and...

I have some too. Soft neck garlic typically do not form them unless they are under stress (like this year) and then they form in the stem because they don't flower on the tops.

They are bulbils, I am guessing that they are soft neck garlic. Soft neck garlic do not produce bulbils unless they are under stress. This year weather is very stressful because of the heat and dry weather. I have a couple of mine that did that as well. You can use them like garlic... eat...

My herb garden is really the only thing that is doing well. I put in all new beds this year and had such high hopes. It is so hot and dry, I send hours water and it is making little difference. But on the good side we have had 3 soaking rains this week and everything is starting to perk up...

She didn't peel them, then she used one of the sbumersion hand blenders to pureer it so she could turn it into soup. I really like homemade tomatoe soup so I was really intrigued
