Wrap the whole beet root in foil and roast in the oven until soft. Remove the skin and cut up into pieces. Add some finely chopped shallots, sprinkle on a little balsamic vinegar, and enjoy.

We sell at the Farmers' Market and grow "Gotta Have It" and Ambrosia. Seems like everyone around here likes Peaches and Cream, but we've steered them away. Now we have customers coming back asking for the "Gotta Want it" corn. :lau

Those glass flowers are awesome. Those would sell for way more than $10 in some craft shows I've attended.

The difference? 1 A :lau

Mimosa blooms will bring on the hummingbirds also. I love them.

I have a large clump of lemon balm planted by the side of my house. It does spread but not as badly as mint. Mine gets the hottest afternoon sun and seems to thrive. It has survived 2 winters and still looks great. Cut the plant back almost to the ground and it will just grow back looking...

Hattie - not only are they good for you, but I've read they are great for your chickens, giving them richer darker yolks. And, cows that eat them will give more milk.

Thanks for the great information everyone. Hubby has decided we can make a row of raspberries down the driveway between our and our neighbor's house. We'll have to build a trellis system for them, but we had to for blackberries, too. Anyway, they'll be away from the potatoes and the...

I have one plant out of a row of 20 that has 2 tomatoes on it about the size of a golf ball or a little smaller. That 'mater look just delicious. More pics when you slice it and we'll all turn green with envy.

Hi Dawn - I've seen you over on BYC. A few of us from East TN. got together in April for a meet and greet at Crackerbarrell in Alcoa which also included a clandestine rooster transaction in the back parking lot. We had so much fun that we're going to have a picnic in June at one member's home...

You do know they're good pollinators don't you? Many suggest putting chunks of wood up on poles near or in your garden to attract them. In other words, give them their own housing and hope they move out of yours. :hide

Beekissed - I love that book. I use it faithfully. Simplelife - that link is great, too.

Maybe your neighbor would like some. :hide

OMG, I'm going into a diabetic coma just reading these. They sound just wonderful. :drool

Oooo! I love orange flowers too. My Flame azalea was covered in blooms this year and stupid didn't get a picture. :idunno

I think I read somewhere that as soon as you know you've exposed yourself to poison ivy, wash exposed areas in cold (not hot) water using dishwashing liquid that cuts grease and oil. Also, don't try to burn the stuff - you'll breathe it in and have blisters in your nose, mouth, etc.

Hey Bee. Looks like there are some old friends over here. Don't know how I missed this place. :watering

Rabbit poop can go directly into the hole - chicken poop is too hot. I did, however, make a lasagna garden up the side of my house using litter from chicken run - composted leaves, poop, straw. I've planted in it and haven't lost anything yet. Time will tell.

The best kind! Someone else does the work and you reap the benefit. We plant green beans down the fence between our garden and the neighbor's yard. I've offered them all they want to pick from their side. Lazy bums (I'm kidding - I love them) would rather buy them from me already picked. I...
