Sorry-- have so many questions!!! I planted a bit of everything to see what grows here--- having just bought our house in March and having NOT gardened in 20+ years...... First--- I've got swiss chard growiing like crazy---- what can I do with it? Time has gotten away from me, and I have no...

Organicmama--- care to share the recipe??? I need to find some strawberries around here-- I don't have any in the garden (will have to shoot for next year) and haven't seen any "pick your own" places around-- but then again-- I'm new here!

Ooh.. peeled with salt, I might like that! Thanks!

Thanks Cassandra! Silkiechicken-- I know what you mean-- commercially, you can find anything frozen well..... but at home... I am just not sure how it will go.

I haven't grown any before ( and may be a bit late in getting any in for this year- but we only bought our place in March and have had only so much time to work with it:) but the people in the area here all hand pick the potato bugs and drop them in soapy water. Might be a fun thing for my...

These sound good. We don't have strawberries here, I may need to wait til next year to do anything with it... I think we've got wild strawberries at the back of our property, but I don't think they get big enough to harvest enough to actually preserve-- but we'll see... I'll have to see if...

Well, maybe I'll just have to settle on lots of zuchinni bread over the winter, and have a little farm stand and try to sell some of it! :)

I haven't had rhubarb since I was a kid, and not even sure how I ate it... What on earth does one use it for? Anyone have a good recipe to try out? I'd love to make use of what I've got growing and not let it go to waste!

I KNOW I've got way too many Zuke and Summer Squash plants going in, but I love the stuff. I'm sure I'll have a LOT left over after I fill myself with it-- so my question is, does anyone have any success freezing or otherwise preserving it to save for later use? I picture it ending up very...

Well, I didn't plant today (yet) but yesterday ( I think it was yesterday, anyhow..) I planted carrots, lettuces, beets, pickling cukes and spaghetti squash. Yesterday I went to the greenhouse run by an Amish family and bought a few plants ( since we just moved here in March, I didn't get as...

MsMagnolia-- thanks for the great advice!! We've got a propane gas stove, so no glass to worry about!!!! I'll be checking out yard sales, flea markets, etc all summer too, and price shopping!

Super!!! I have a WalMart trip to be made tomorrow or Saturday-- I'll put it on my list :)

Hi there- It's been years since I've grown a garden or canned- but we're working diligently on planting to see what we can grow well, and want to can as much as I can. In the past, I've only canned tomatoes and pickles, so I only needed a water bath canner. I know I need something else ( steam...

Thanks for the info--- I'll keep looking!!!

I know hops is grown with either roots or started cuttings- is anyone growing any, and would you be willing to ship some?

Animal, Do you know if these will grow in colder zones? (not sure where you're from). We just moved to Northern Maine and I haven't had a garden in more years than I can think of. I'd like to try as many flowers and veggies as I can on a small scale to see what might grow. Thanks!
