No, ground cherries are Not the same as tomatillos. The crew at Mid American Gardener recommend growing ground cherries bc they are easy to grow and taste very sweet. You grab and eat as you work in the garden. I grew tomatillos once and they are more bitter and better for Mexican dishes.

Wild onions are only really edible right now. When they get bigger throughout the summer they become tough and inedible. I know. I have tried this.

It is interesting what you learn from what people put out there, although I question the "remarkable vegetable that SAVED Americans during the Great Depression." :confused: My maternal GF was laid off in the early 30's in Cleveland. He was a journeyman. He and other neighbors hunted rabbits...

Sunday, I dug out about 6 red (or yellow) tulips that had jumped the border, and dug out the clump of purple tulips in another location. I put them in 2 buckets and they sat practically in the dark on the basement counter until today. My whiskey barrel planter is wooden, the pot is plastic...

:welcome from Central Illinois. Be sure to put your general location, like E Co, or Co Rockies, with your avatar. Visited CO about 40 times--always land in Georgetown, where DH's GM grew up--and the climates are different. Mountains get a lot more rain. I really won't remember where you live...

I would do Dahlias, too, but the digging out and winterizing won't justify my energy right now. I will satisfy my Dahlia itch for Your photos! :hugs

MORE turkey broth canning. I started the (last) in the freezer turkey Saturday with 2 quarts of my really rich turkey broth. Before I made 1/2 gallon of gravy :eek: I siphoned off 2 quarts of juice, cooled them down, put them on my porch (refrigerator temperature at night in March), placed...

I talked to the electricians in 2022 when I was babysitting DD's house rewire, about rewiring my trailer. They said they couldn't do it bc they make the housing for the wiring so small (and out of steel) that an electrician cannot fish wires in to repair. I would pretty much have to get a...

I intend to harvest seeds from the two types of peas and from the sweet peas, whose seeds are 1/2 the diameter of the peas and black. Since last year was such a nothing for me in planting, I have Lots of old seeds that I intend to plant pretty much everywhere, really with NO purpose to harvest...

Yep. We are a go for early cool weather crops IN THE GROUND...Only if you trust the varmints to not eat the seeds!!

I swear every marigold flower produces about 50 seeds. WAY more productive than a burdock! It only makes 7.

This is a repeat on the thread, What have you planted today? This morning I planted a 2nd row of 62 sugar snap peas, 25 Mammoth Salmon Cream Sweet Peas, and a package of turnip greens, probably 100 or so seeds. I lightly covered the peas, then sprinkled the turnip green seeds on top, in...

I planted a 2nd row of 62 sugar snap peas, 25 Mammoth Salmon Cream Sweet Peas, and a package of turnip greens, probably 100 or so seeds. I lightly covered the peas, then sprinkled the turnip green seeds on top, in anticipation of today's rain.

"I filled the gap with 3 feed sacks stuffed with other feed sacks, or else lambs will just run under the trailer and hitchhike to another town, never to be heard from again." :gig:gig:gig SO SORRY about your fuel leak!!! :hugs I have plenty of truck and trailer problems-while-travelling...

@Phaedra and @secuono are the robot gardeners that never sleep! :hugs

Yesterday I put both the 50 ft red heated hose (didn't use it this winter,) And the 100 ft blue heated hose into storage. My old burn barrel (that is a plastic trash can) that got cracks on the bottom, but has wheels, is a great place to store them until next winter. It lives in the Carriage...
