    Do I thin out Cilantro?

    Mmmmm...this sounds yummy :) I have a nut allergy and never can eat pesto. I can't wait to try and omit the nuts, but still have the seeds for the substance of the pesto...Thanks!

    To much green no vegetables?

    Pretty sure I read something about too much nitrogen. I guess its common if you use Miracle-Grow too much. Lots of green, full leaves but no veggies. Not sure about the "not enough" blank.... :hu

    Any Master Gardeners out there?

    :lol: I don't even feel like I'm the master of my own garden! I know what you mean about the children thing. Mine are 6 (almost 7) and 2 (almost 3). I also work full-time, so it would be a bit of a sacrifice in regards to my evenings with my kids. Hmmmm....I still don't know :hu

    What I learned in canning class...

    I signed up for a canning class sponsored by Purdue University. I learned so much! It was great; only $10, I received a Ball Blue Book and learned a lot. The number one thing the instructor kept repeating was Safety. I used to think I could just can anything I wanted canned. Using all my...
