Silver Queen, Silver Queen, and Silver Queen.

Well, It did rain on the first so it is going to come. That is if you are the farmer almanac superstitious type.

I planted icle around my squash and zukes so hopefully I will get the same outcome! DONT PULL OUT THE RADISHES YET!!! wait until they form the seed pods (looks like a soybean). They are the BEST in salads or just eating them straight. I have almost started growing the radishes for them more...

What ever kind of Cuke you planted last year.

Welcome and come on in. Most of us here are chicken -a -holics too. For no larger than your bed is you I would just build a hoop cover out of 1/2 pvc pipe and cover it with chicken wire. Drive some 1 in pipes in the corners and maybe the middle on the edge and then leave 6-8 inches of the...

I just bought a book called the backyard homestead. It works off the same thought track but a little larger scale. The main theme in it so far seems to be veggies and fruits (trees and bushes) as your landscape. No point in growing what you cant eat according to them.. It even tells you what...

BACON, BACON, Where is the Lettuce and BACON! :barnie So jealous, mine dont even have blooms yet.

I have an issue. My Strawberry patch is going on 4 years old, and I will admit that I am not the best at weed control. BUT, I have several plants there but there is not any berries? I did see blooms but there are not any berries following? I know others in the area are producing right now so...

Jack That info is just amazing. You are quite the inventor! I work a lot on the same basis - why be the couple spending $200 when you can build it yourself for $30? I have just started reading through your blog. Hopefully there is detailed enough stuff for a guy like me to build / work some...

Ok you made me look. I am ASSUMING (which usually means I screw up) that the hydro means you are growing it in water? I think I am looking at the ones from miron correctly to say they are growing in a sponge? I am again assuming that there is a pump pushing water through the pipes? If there...

I know it was a copy Ducks and I completely agree with you. I would a whole lot more get info here with all you experienced garden experts that have "been there done that" then I would read and assume it is correct. I think Grandpa is far wiser than the world books ever dreamed of!! :D

My thought too. I wonder if that is the reason for most of the foes?

Where can you get Neem Oil? What is Bt?

Ducks, I am not sure I agree with cabbage broccoli and cauliflower not getting along? What is the issues there, any idea? I have always planted mine side by side and I guess never noticed a problem. I realize you are just copying, but what is your thought there? Is it because one attracts...

Well I am going to try it and see how well it works. Bid, Those seed pods are the BEST in a good salad or just eating the straight off the plant ( i always plant mine close enough to not have to get off the mower to get a handful for munching! :D) Hobby

Has anyone ever tried the radishes under zucks/squash? Does it really work to get rid of borers?

My mind is going in my old age. I have looked all over here and I am starting to think I saw it in a book instead. SOMEWHERE there is information that tells plants that you can combine to help ward off the enemy insects. Seems to me it had things like planting radishes under zuck and squash...

Since all you are really using is the heads, I freeze all mine. I keep a gallon bag in the freezer and just pull out what ever I need when I am ready to use it.

You people are a bad influence!!! I saw that HF 10x12 greenhouse and I think I NEED one. I have a 12x18 "hoop" house that is one like you would see put up for just the season and covered in plastic. The grocery store where I grew up always had one to sell veg plants from. I have always...

Are these thornless rasberries? I wouldnt touch them until early next spring. If you already have leaves one them you might risk killing them during the transplant if you are not very careful. Mine are in a hedge row with plants side by side but only about 6 inches thick. These rows run for...
