My compost bin has 4 seperate "chambers" to turn the pile into. When the freeze comes I start a new pile and then in the spring I will turn the old pile over on top of the new stuff. Don't want to keep it in the house lid or no. By the time you open it to put it on the pile in the spring you...

Thanks JoJo. Greenthumb... You are absloutely correct. None of the crops I mentioned come in at the same time so I freeze the fruit as I harvest it. The grapes are the last to harvest so when they come in I thaw it all and start playing "mad scientist". Everything I brew is from fresh fruit...

I dispose of all my catalogs once my seeds and plants are ordered Except territorial's their information on growing, diseases, insects, and harvesting is better than what you find in some gardening books. Edited to add... My Abundant Life catalog also has an excellent growth section for every...

It is a lot of fun. Every year I look for ways to "mix & match" a new combination. One year I made a Blueberry/Grape that was more like a cordial than a wine. very sweet and quite delicious. Needless to say none of that went into long term storage. :drool

I have two grapevines on my property and I could only eat so many grapes and I got tired of feeding the birds so I started about 4 years ago with a simple wine making kit. Cost me about 70 bucks then. Now they are up over $110. Imagine that. Bought a couple of instructional books from simple to...

That is amazing. I have done numerous searches for michigan nurseries and never found them. They are only about an hour from here and their phone is in my area code. Go figger. Thank you very much. I will call them monday. :th

Thanks I was concerned with them being all the way up in Washington. These will be expensive trees after adding up cost and shipping charges.

Hi lesa. Thanks for the welcome. I have what I call grumbly ground (heavy clay) so everything I plant has to go in raised boxes. I put two new beds in last summer(my camera is charging right now) and one is specifically for the cherries. They may be a little cramped in there but at least they...

Hi all as you can see I finally took the plunge and registered here instead of just lurking. I am considering putting in two dwarf cherry trees this spring. Specifically using the Gisela 5 rootstock from raintree nursery. I am curious if anyone here has had any experience with this variety of...
