    Wasp bites....what do you use?

    I have been bitten several times by small wasps while I am out and about in my garden or working with my chickens. About 24 hours after the bite, quite a large area around the bite area will swell, redden, feel very hot and itch like crazy. This can go on for more than a week. What do you use...

    Storing Receipes in Binders

    I have two 3" binders for receipes that I have torn out of magazines, printed off the internet or photocopied from cookbooks. I used to have these arranged by salads, vegetable dishes, main course, desserts, etc. I always found it difficult (and time consuming) to locate receipes that matched...

    Hi garlic lovers, I just bought some garlic at my feed store to plant. This will be my first garlic as I have never grown before. They told me to separate the cloves, plant them about 2 inches in the soil, about 4 inches apart, cover with dirt and water. Is this your recommendation too? Can...

    Your Pride and Joy Of The Season

    Carol, I looked this up and it is a beautiful sunflower. I think I will order some as it looks like it will be a good choice to cut and bring indoors. Thanks for the tip. Anne

    What did you like about your garden this Year?

    I particularily liked all my tomatoes, several heirloom varieties that were new for me. I had a very abundant crop and am still harvesting. I loved planting...and eating my potatos, again first time I have ever grown them. What a fun venture. I had great success with corn and a huge and...

    What would you like to do differently in next year's garden?

    Several things I would do differently next year. I will not plant painted corn in with the regular corn. I will also stagger the corn plantings. Add lots of soil amendments to my squash and cucumber area and stagger the plantings. They did not do as well as I had hoped. Search the internet...

    [b]How do you clean your carrots?[b]

    Well, I have discovered something that I want to pass along. I bought a pair of rough shower gloves/mitts, (the kind that you can use to slough off dead skin while you are in the shower with a gel or soap) I bought them at a Bed and Bath outlet, but I believe I have seen them in Walmart and...
