We drink mostly soymilk right now, but we also drink regular cow's milk and goat milk on occasion. (We want to have a goat farm one day)
I, alone, can go through almost 32oz of soymilk a day if given the chance. I love the stuff. If I can grow my own soybeans, making my own could be cheaper...
We purchased spearmint, rosemary, chamomile, and lemon balm for use in cooking and teas. The spearmint plant already has huge leaves on it so I went ahead and picked a few. How would I go about drying them for use in tea? We do not have a dehydrator. I rinsed them well with water and then patted...
Got some new plants today. I decided to go ahead and get some already grown plants or plants that had been started so that I wouldn't have to sprout them this season. I'll try that next year maybe.
This is what I bought....
4 small tomato plants
Society Garlic
Blue Spire Rosemary

Thanks for the advice. I have a few old fish tank lights that I'm not using anymore. I believe the lights are florescent. Would these work? I can get the wattage if that matters. I could possibly rig up either of these lights to sit 2" from the seedlings.
I've looked up how to make soymilk and it doesn't seem to difficult. I'll be looking for some different things to start growing this year instead of our original three. I'll be picking up a planter box today and a container for the corn.
I was wondering if you can grow soybeans in Zone 7. I think I'm zone 7. I'm in Virginia. Well we drink a lot of soy milk and I was wanting to grow some soybeans so we can start making our own soymilk. Is this a possibility?
I put a hydrometer in there the other day to measure the humidity and after a good water and putting it in the sun, the humidity reaches around 73-75%. Humidity in the house is around 40%, sometimes going up to 50%.
We will go to the garden store tomorrow to look for the plant box as well as...
That would be quite the drive. I forgot to put my location in my profile. I'm in Virginia. Mmm, peaches. I love a good fresh peach. I was raised on canned peaches and once I tasted a fresh peach, I have never gone back to canned peaches.
Thanks for the information about transplanting them. If growing them in a container, what size should it be?
We also plan on growing carrots and cucumbers. If we succeed at growing these this year, we will attempt others next year. We have not planted the cucumber seeds or the carrot seeds...
Well I got curious and decided to check on the corn. I uncovered one of the corn "seeds" and sure enough, there was a little sprout on its way up to the surface. I then checked another and it has a nice root growing.
I'm worried though that the egg carton will be too small for them after they...
Wow, that garden is looking great! I wish there were things like this around where I am. I would love to participate in a community garden. I can't wait to see updated pictures and posts about this garden.
I live in a 2bdr townhome with a very small backyard. So I would like to grow vegetables in pots if at all possible. I have tried growing things in the past but I seem to have a black thumb. Herbs die on me. I started some a few months back indoors and they sprouted. Great sprouts but after...
