    Marianna's Peace Tomatoes

    Here it is: http://heirloomtomatoplants.com/ And, I did a typo in my previous post, Marianna's Peace is not 38" (that was last week). Marianna is now 47"!!!

    Marianna's Peace Tomatoes

    It's true, isn't it?! In our weather, tomatoes can be quite an efficient little plant. I found a website recently for a company that sells heirloom tomatoes and they actually recommend planting some late season tomatoes and over-wintering them. If you're interested, I'll see if I can dig that...

    Eating Healthy

    Good! I'm glad that the transition from the hijacked thread to this one worked out OK. :) Nubsmum - I think it's great that the self-sufficient thing and the bigger garden is working out well for you and your family. Yes, in some ways it is more work, but in other ways, I find that it isn't...

    Marianna's Peace Tomatoes

    My Monday report has come and gone (mostly gone) largely because there was little to report. Marianna's Peace is doing awesome! It's great to know that a little weakling can be nursed back to health by using a few tricks and tips! As of Monday, the plant is now 38" tall and is filled with...

    What did you pick today?

    Just wanted to say. . . This is a great idea for a thread! With our various climate zones, it'll be interesting to see who is harvesting what and when. I've subscribed to this and, while I have a small garden compared with the rest of you folks, I look forward to seeing what is growing in...

    Playing tag with the sun

    I think that's great Reinbeau! I would love that amount of space here, but a lot that is .45 acres with an 80 year old 2 bedroom tear down is nearly 1.5 million, and that's in this down market! While I may have perfect weather year round, 'cept for a few annoying days of the year, I live on a...

    I think there's a little sasquatch in my garden

    Did it strike during the day or at night? I've had similar problems and I'm pretty certain that it's roof rats. See my previous post: http://www.theeasygarden.com/forum/viewtopic.php?id=23462 Last year they pretty much cleaned me out. I think I got fewer than 10 tomatoes all season. But...

    How To Tell When Garlic is Ready

    I might just do that, Reinbeau! I haven't fully looked it over, but I'm going to guess that it's only one clove, two at the most. If it's one clove, it's a HUGE one and should have lots of energy for next year! :D I tried to knock some of the dirt off and I hung it up to dry. Anything else...

    What did you pick today?

    I hate when that happens Simple Life. I grow a tomato plant outside my garden just for the girls. :) I picked a couple of tomatoes and some basil to serve over angel hair pasta. Yum! Oh, and I accidentally picked a garlic that I thought hadn't made it (it had only been in the ground 4...

    How To Tell When Garlic is Ready

    Maybe there is hope after all!!! When I planted the garlic from my cousin, I stuck in a few bigger cloves from the grocery store, just to see what would happen. Most of those died, but there was one that I thought that was still going. It was a puny, shrimpy thing with a very thin stalk. For...

    This ought to be a good one.....who is from BYC??

    :frow Me too! I started at BYC1 in March 2006, then moved over to BYC2 in Jan. 2007. You'd think that I'd have a zillion posts by now, but I've only recently become "overrun with chickens." Same user name.

    Striped Corn Update. *NEW PICS*

    Well, Jordan, that stripey looking corn plant shore is purty. :rainbow-sun When you harvest, make sure you take pictures of the regular corn in comparison to the striped corn. This ought to be interesting. :pop
