Our local food pantry was donated a LOT of cukes, zuchinni and potatoes this week. I happened to be at town hall yesterday when the pantry was open, and they were accosting everyone who came by -- needed to move the cukes.. How I ended up with 3 banana boxes full of them.. I dont' know-- All I...

Birds, wind,other animals can move your seed- and you could have had one or two that blew onto your clothing-- Id' say this is what it is!

I compost it all. I know the seeds are just adding to the weeds the next year, but we are just never going to be without a ton of them. So much grass and so many hayfields in the area, and a lot of breezy wind year round send everything right back into my garden. I do let the chickens clean...

From www.ohioline.osu.edu Dig a furrow no deeper than 5 to 6 inches. Research has shown that the deeper asparagus crowns are planted, the more the total yield is reduced. Apply about 1 lb. of 0-46-0 (triple superphosphate) or 2 lbs. of 0-20-0 (superphosphate) fertilizer per 50 feet of row in...

He's beautiful!! Happy Birthday to him!

Well, I guess I'll figure the secret out on my own, lol.... As much as I'm curious, I can't see paying for them to say something silly, LOL

I've been reading a lot about them today, and found that #1-- they are the same as a "wonderberry" ( which my friend grew last year, but I never saw them since she lives distant from me), and that #2- cooking and sweetening them is the "secret" that makes them good. I guess they don't taste...

It looks like I'll have a good bunch to pick in a few days, with a lot more growing. I'm probably going to freeze the berries til I have them all picked, then make juice, then jelly... or jam-- not sure how they'll cook down, but I'll decide when I get there. They're supposed to make great...

If they molded, then there was probably not enough acid content ( ie lemon juice) or they didn't seal right, or reach the right temp internally.. I've never done pears, myself- but had applesauce mold a couple years back..

To be honest, I never thought they'd grow, but thought the Garden Huckelberry picture in the SSE catalog was fun looking. Well, I've got 7 or 8 plants in the garden, with large blueberry-sized fruits growing, and turning blue/purple-- so I guess I should find out when to pick them!!!! Also--...

Last year we had a TON of volunteer cherry tomato plants. We had to pull or till most of them because we had plans for that garden- but transplanted half a dozen or so into pots on the deck, thankfully-- they were the only tomato plants that didn't get blight last year!!! There are a few coming...

You want a well dug spot, that you can easily keep weeds out of ( raised beds are good, even if only slightly, to keep the grass from creeping in). LOTS of organic material. LOTS! They like very deep soil-- so dig and loosen deeply before planting. I've never seen plants for sale, only...

Oh so pretty!! I don't "do" flowers- not yet, but I'm working on a perennial herb garden. The birds like it more than the herbs though, LOL! It's only year 2 of the herb garden bed- last year we just tilled it due to time constraints, but this year amended it with compost, but again, due to...

Super-- I'll add it to the list. I think I'll be digging plants and giving as gifts to people-- most of my friends "never thought to plant sage", so I might spread the joy around while there's still time to get them back in the ground, or in pots on windowsills.

Well, you must take a pic of the half!!! I just found this thread and I need to see a picture-- I really do :)

Since my herbs don't usually do well, and it's so cold here for most to be perennial, I scattered many sage seeds, as I do all my other herbs, hoping for "some" to use with my fresh turkeys.. Well, I have a TON of plants. I think that literally every seed I planted has come up and is growing to...

Wow!!! Do you know, I was thinking about this very subject on the way to work today? I was curious how many dried beans a plant produces on average- because I want to plant some for drying!! So glad you posted this!

I"m so jealous! I have no mint, and can't find any seeds-- and I WANT your mints!! :)

The bogus collection agency scams are rampant right now. I have no idea how they get away with it, except I'm sure they figure that lots of folks have some sort of debt now, and enough fall for them to send money, or give their bank account numbers away. I've talked to a few of them, and...
