I am ashamed to call myself a gardener. I can't grow beets. Beets of all things. What am I doing wrong? I get beautiful tops and non existent roots. I need to solve this problem because I have beet seeds on the way. I didn't even attempt last year.

I just put my BCS order in yesterday. 56 different seeds. I'll keep you posted.

Just being silly. :lol: I wish it was in the 80's here

Maybe I can get some wind turbines and blow the sub zero temps back across the country for ya. :D

Some times if there is not adequate water thru the growing season then tomatoes can be bitter. When I am cooking my sauce after canning I always throw a whole unpeeled carrot in. It absorbs the extra acid. It also reduces heartburn. Also I never met a tomato sauce that didn't like a little...

I don't see why you couldn't as long as the pot is free draining.

Isn't it a great feeling. We did the same thing including the turkey. YUMM!!!

Cool, thanks Havi. Maybe I will use it to plan the gardens for the garden tour.

Offer is still available. I have a few small chokes to share. http://homecooking.about.com/od/foodhistory/a/sunchokehistory.htm Here is a link for info on Jerusalem artichokes.

The bill has been delayed. http://blogs.desmoinesregister.com/dmr/index.php/2010/11/19/food-safety-bill-delayed/ Yay. Correct me if I am wrong. But just the motion to proceed with the bill passed not the bill it's self. Even then it would have to still go to the house and then the Pres.

I figure if it is organic certified then it is not GMO. Stay with organic and you will be OK.

Just got High Mowing and Pinetree. I'll be busy for a while..............

Silly, I was talking about your actual cat's tails in the last pic. :D

Any seeds for those cattails?? :lol:

What a bummer. :hugs

Nope, no one else has chickens. August 17, 2011. I have already thought about what to plant and where. Now I need to try and snag some more seeds on the seed train. Knowing me though nothing is set in stone till planted.

So I said yes. Every year the library has a "theme" tour. This year it is Kitchen Gardens. They want recipes to put in a book, educational fliers on how I do things and most of all they want people to learn something new at each garden site. There is a whole committee to help with every...

Oh I forgot to tell that the chickens are a big hit too. Someone mentioned wanting to see the chickens on the tour. Gardens and Chickens tour is more my speed. :lol: I am the one on the car rides that spots all the chickens. DD#1 says I have ADDOC. Attention Deficit Disorder Ooo Chickens.
