:frow Hey Steve! Thanks for saying so. I am planning on being much more regular now that I'm back at the computer working again.

Milk is a quick turnaround here... 2.5 gallons per week. No need to sniff! that's organic cow's milk.

Not at all! I usually start planting next years garden in my head shortly after planting the current year! :D I always think, next year I'll do a neater job... already planning & moving things around to be ready for February & March planting!!! :)

I used to hate growing tomaotes, SPECIALLY FREE RANGE MATERS :lol: ;) :rolleyes: Here is my new tomato system for some gifted mater plants, and it worked so well I'm doing it again next year with a few improvements. What worked so well, is that birds could get their heads in, but not ruin the...

Your right about that. It was the turning all together that just didn't work for me. But the idea of walking the pile a foot to one side, and then back to the other ever couple of days is completely do-able. I will also be keeping my eyes out for a "hay fork" if I ever get the blessing of...

Labor Day weekend - we'll be planting the fall garden! Spinach, Lettuce, Potatoes & Radishes are planned so far. Will also be putting up my new experimental cold frame structure, a long narrow chain link dog run combined with an in the ground post and center ridge line system for pitching...

I have read and read and read, as you say the printed materials on the topic of composting. I began like you did, without your background, and soon gave up on walls for my compost, turning with a pitchfork and eventually after 2 years of failure, composing all together. I decided that the...

That was last week and yesterday's pickings. It seems that most of the local gardeners have picked their plants, tilled their gardens and given up for the year. I'm glad I haven't. It's frosted lightly twice here and my plants are so big & overgrown they offer their own protection! Actually...

I'm just trying to keep up and at least keep a record of what I've done so that I can come back later at a more slow point & tally. I haven't even updated my own websites and stuff I've been so busy gardening and being exhausted from the heat!

15 golden beets started in cups since it's too hot here for them to grow nicely outside. I'll be able to transplant in a few weeks to cooler outdoor temperatures... I hope.

Ok.. got my new "lot" disced again and I just started the following in cups & peat pots: 70 Sweet Corn - I planted 2 per cup and will transplant when they are just sprouted 9 sugar pumpkin/ pie pumpkins 8 salsa tomato vines (determinate) 5 large red cherry tomato 24 or so Black Beans, sown...

;) Yes, it truly is.

Thank you all so much!! Journey you are right, good neighbors are really GREAT to have! Funny thing is, this is the neighbor that is feared by all the OTHER neighbors ;) but really her bark is worse than her bite and so long as you don't do anything TO her or her horses/property, she's a...

I'm SO EXCITED! As you might know, I have a VERY small allotment for living on just over an acre.. there is only about 400sf plantable what with the geese, chickens, dogs and seasonal meatbirds or turkeys. Anyway.. my LOVELY LOVELY neighbor has tilled up part of her old garden space and...

here's a 5X something or another patch of them from last year... there is I think around 9 bushes here... they get tall & a little grabby toward the end traveling across the tops of eachother. I let them dry on the plant and then shell them... like so... So.. it's kinda like corn.. if...

I picked my first tomatoes from them this week! I ate a few of the yellow pears already this week but this is what I picked yesterday. I didn't mean to take the green one, but I was picking without scissors and OOOPS. I have a question for you experts... see how one of the yellow group is...

Dehydrate them and then grind into powder of course!! Use them for dips, dressing, sauces, soups etc etc etc!

Ninnymary your right!!! I've made the adjustments & added my market sales values and tabulated my herbs too while I was at it.... I recant my previous totals and exchange my harvest values as follows: 2010 Garden Expenses Running Total: $255.00 2010 Garden Harvest Value: $237.50... Values in...

My updated list which now includes lots of cucumbers & starting with sweet peppers. 2010 Garden Expenses Running Total: $245.00 2010 Garden Harvest Value: $163.25+ (includes market sales) Updated 6/17/10 Values in parenthesis reflect package types and organic values available at the local...

This particular one is a Yellow Pear so it has hundreds of teeny tiny tomatoes on it... they look like grape bunches. The brandywine next to it has probably a dozen tomatoes that I saw... I have no idea what is normal, this is my first time planting tomatoes really, other than a token Roma in...
