That sounds like a good recipe to me. Sugar, salt, vinegar. How can you go wrong with that? All good preservatives. Do the beans taste pickled or regular?

I used my sweet banana peppers to make "Sweet Banana Pepper Mustard" from a recipe I found online. I did use 105 sweet banana peppers instead of 40, but I think they're delicious! It is delicious, and everyone that tries it loves it. Here is the recipe in case you would like to try it. It's easy...

That is very interesting about the color. I'm in Virginia and I have four 20 foot rows of direct seeded corn and it is like a lime green instead of the dark corn green that you think of. Makes me think of GMO contamination possibilities where the seed corn was grown, which is I don't know where.

We live in Hampton Roads in Virginia and my tomatoes look like the ones in the pictures. I hate to say it, but I think it's tomato blight. There is no cure, and you have to be very careful touching the plants that are infected. You can spread it to the other plants after touching infected ones...

First of all, I want to thank everyone for their time in helping me try to figure this out. Second, I said I wasn't a mechanic, but knew enough to get in trouble. Third, I think I got it figured out. There is no rust in the gas tank because it is a heavy rubbery plastic. Apparently that is a...

It has new gas and oil in it (even though the old oil wasn't really dirty looking) and the "fan" that is inside the housing at the top of the engine is spinning with the rpm's. It's like a giant push lawn mower engine. You know, you can see it spinning under the protective shield with little...

The Model Number is 4-36508 and the date of manufacture is March 1983. This one cylinder, air cooled, electric start 11 h.p. lawn tractor was purchased from a Roses Department Store in 1984. I have the Owner's Handbook, but that is useless for this problem. The lawn tractor was well maintained...

I used one as a kid and what people are saying about keeping them sharp is absolutely correct. You also have to keep the cutting edge adjusted. When using one, you also have to pick up any sticks or twigs because they will either cut them and dull the blades fast, or jam it. The lawn also has to...

I only have six grape vines, so "watering grapes" is probably a more suitable subject title. These questions are for the grape growers out there: How often do you irrigate/water your grapes? Have you ever suffered the consequences of overwatering? What were those consequences specifically...

Sorry, but I'm not sure, but I would like to share my thoughts on it. One thing that catches my attention is the 300 feet from the stream. That's a long way to maintain suction without air leaks. You would have to install piping, probably 1 1/4" PVC, and put a screen or well point on the end to...

Looks very good. It gives you a feeling of accomplishment, doesn't it. You should be able to install brackets (conduit holders) on the outside, bend some 1/2 inch pvc pipe, cover it in plastic, and there you have a hothouse for when it gets cold. Maybe you can extend your harvest time.

shadetech, I hope it all recovers. I went through that earlier in the year with the wind whipping my planted vegetables around.

I agree with thistlebloom. mow them up thoroughly. At least the corn husks and peanut shells. What quantity of lemon rinds are we talking about? Home use quantities? If so, I would mow them as well, although it will be difficult for the mower blades to suck them up due to their weight. They will...

You're correct about those people having a growing influence on our laws and processes.

I absolutely cannot stand the strings in many of the other types of green beans I have eaten. May I suggest Fortex Pole beans from Johnny's Selected Seeds in Maine? You can see them online at Johnnyseeds.com. I've been growing those for a few years now and they are absolutely stringless and...

I have raspberries and I would. If the plant is distressed anyway, what do you have to lose? If the plant doesn't have to send nutrients trying to support that cane, it might make/let the rest of the plant grow even better.

Grapes are reputed to grow well even in poor soil like clay. I planted mine in a lawn area with regular soil and all I do for them is put four ounces of dried blood in a four foot ring around the vine and just water it in once in the springtime. I've done that for four years now. All my fruits...
