    Salad on the Grass (PIX)

    I havent ever so it is not really fair to say, but I would be a little unsure about munchin on those flowers. I am not disagreeing that they are edible - just seems a little weird. Kind of like the first thought of escargo.

    For .20 - Plant them, what do you have to lose? Non heading means it will be loose leaf just like Black Simpson Lettuce (just wont make a head but will grow individually)

    What kind of beans do you plant for beansprouts?

    I am not having luck either but will keep looking. I can remember it well because I can see the pictures of the sprouts laying on the paper towels.

    Egg shells to add calcium?

    Going the egg shell direction would work - slower but works. My problem there is finding egg shells for 50 tomato plants.

    Egg shells to add calcium?

    Pelletized lime works as fast and is cheaper than the milk. Most is natural, just been processed if it is "chemical free" you are looking for.

    Making Maple Syrup

    This is awesome! I have been looking into this. I can remember going to a syrup festival as a kid with my grandparents and wanted to show mine how it works (since we don't live there anymore). Time to start hunting trees.:weee

    Lettuce and Spinach went in

    That is pretty low but I dont think it would kill it, just slow it a little. The getting to 70 during the day will help turn that around though. I planted some in my indoor grow light greenhouse just to see if it will work.

    Broccoli flowering

    I still eat it when it is that way. I dont think it changes the flavor at all. If you just give it a quick blanch and then serve so the flowers are still visible I think it even looks better. IMO Enjoy!

    Growing potatoes in straw or hay instead of planting

    I like the fence idea ... makes more room. I do mine in a hay feeder for cattle. Start with about a foot and a half of straw and wet it REALLY well. Add the seed cuttings and then add another foot and wet it too. Then as the others said just keep adding as they grow. Make sure you keep it...
