    Am I the only nutbag who does this?

    I just spent a good three, three and a half hours examining my Sunset Western Garden book, cutting pictures out of magazines and taping them inside a garden journal. And of course, I wrote notes next to each picture (what variety it is, where I should plant it, etc). I see all these great ideas...

    Sustainable Growing Project

    Cool! No, actually you don't. Not for a little tractor like ours, anyway. I'd imagine if it were oversized, you would need a Class A, but this will fit on just a regular car trailer. It has to be a beefy car trailer, but nothing too long or wide. I think we spent $40 on a trailer when we had to...

    There are different types of gannons, but we have one sort of like this. It breaks up that hard dirt really well... makes it a lot easier to till!!

    Horse manure?

    I have horses and I will always push horse manure on people! :cool: It's always worked great for my mom (who has a greener thumb than anyone I know) and I. It really depends on what the horses are fed, though. Some people feed supplemental feeds, like grains or grasses, that will pass through...

    Sustainable Growing Project

    Wow! You guys got a lot done!! Still a lot of work to do, though. When we had 2k sq ft of sod put in our front yard, we had a local nursery deliver 5 yards of amendment. They aren't around anymore, but there has to be one out there that can get some out to you. You may even be able to contact...

    What are the best tomatoes for salsa?

    I'm doing tomatillos (not a tomato, I know, but flavorful nonetheless) and Heatwave tomatoes, which is a hybrid that does great out here. If you can get your hands on them, I would try Sun Gold, which is just like a cherry tomato but golden in color. They are delicious... very flavorful and very...

    Pat's right... I've found that my best information comes from many different places: books, other people, online. Do what you think is best and if it doesn't work out, better luck next year!
