Here is a picture of the green bean. I think its a green bean. It aint what the picture on the package looks like.

Really, 30 to 1? Wow, I am way off base. I have two piles of horse manure that I am keeping a little moist so that it will heat up. I may be doing this wrong. Dang it. Now I am more confused that when I started.

I have almost all of my tomatoes in the shaded area and they are doing greeaaaaat.

They are on a vine, I went out to take a picture this morning and the battery was dead. I do promise a picture in the morning when I wont sweat all over the Nikkon. I did have some in the cabbage/brauts meal tonight. Tasty, just not what was advertised on the package. I wish I could find that...

Que, SFG?

I am new at this but I learned a VALUABLE lesson about chicken manure. Make SURE you compost that stuff for a year (or better). They say the issue is to much nitrogen and that to much nitrogen can stunt the growth of your plants. I stunted the growth of almost all my peppers. My egg plants were...

I will take one in the morning.

My green beans do not look anything like the package. These are really long 12 to 16 inches and very thin. I am trying to find the package so that I can call/write and complain. I will take a picture on the morrow so that yall might be able to tell me what they are. They taste good though Mjd...

Ha, Thank You. You must be doin a lot of sympathasizing (sp?)

As yall know, I am new to gardening and this spring I had a lot of failures do to my own ignorance on the subject. One of the things doing real well in my garden are my tomato plants. I am starting to get lots of tomatos now. One of them I have been watching since it was a little bitty fellow...

I never ever even put my name on one of these forums. Bad bad bad. I know none of you (I hope not anyway) are predators but I takey no chancey

Well, I learned something today. Thanks

I need to be smart enough to plant stuff for the bees next year. Or I need to get me some bees

Thats what I am doing. I have two piles going right now. One is the spring 2010 pile and the other is the spring 2011 pile. Lots of horse manure, chicken manure and grass clippings. I turn it once a week with the tractor. I expect the 2011 pile to be really big or it may have to become two piles.

So, are you loosing nitrogen in the process?

Thank You. So as long as I am not trying to harvest seeds, there are no worries.

I can verify that chicken droppings must be composted first. I didnt do that and on my first garden bed I put the chicken poop directly in and burned a lot of plants. That section of garden is just now recovering and am going to ad dirt and till it a few times in order to make it healthy for...

cookiesdaddy, please forgive me the hijack patandchickens, I really dont understand what I am doing with the compost pile, I am just really following directions. I have two piles going. So, heating it up causes it to make nitrogen?

Sorry to hear about that. That does have to make you mad I imagine. So much for global warming.

I know there is a thread about this but I didnt want to hijack his thread (again). I understand that squash can and will cross with each other, but will it show up that year or does it show up in the seeds and then the next year you have something "weird'? Did that question even make sense? Mjd
