Might have been used as the graft tree? We are getting concord grapes this yr, maybe green & red too, but for now we are starting with concords fr jam & juice & maybe a little wine. I am starting with 2 vines & see how they go.

:welcome We are tilling & planting this weekend as it is in the 80's all of a sudden this past week. Last yr my zuchinni did so well I did not buy any potatoes all summer long we just used the zukes instead. Nothing beats the flavor of home grown. I really try to grow mothing but heirloom...

:yuckyuck Well I wouldn't mind a little bit of snow or colder weather to have at least 3 seasons then. I really miss spring & true fall.

Yes there is a tremendous amount to learn from the soil. We discuss the types of plants they each are & if they really are a fruit of vegie(by the seed method), where they came from & weather or not the pilgrams might have grown them.

I am just curious of how many homeschoolers use the garden as a lesson each yr? If you do how many subjects do you cover with it? I of course use it for science & math, plus a little history too.

Saving seeds from hybrids isn't really recommended as they lose their potency quicker & they also start losing genetic qualities too & do not produce as well. Heirlooms you can save seeds from again & again & never lose quality. The flavor is better in heirlooms too.

I planted spaghetti squash one yr & we did not care too much for it. Luckily there were some people in my church who did & I would take bags of it each week to church for people to take. It was very prolific for me. I have a massive seed collection that I just keep adding to when I find...

I did this for a preschool I used to work at. We started germinating the seeds so the students could see what that was about & then planted them in the garden area, the students helped with that & the watering too. When we started harvesting items we talked aobut the different ways to use the...
