Who has the greenhouse running for veggie starts? AND if you do - 1. What do you have started 2. When did you start it 3. How did you start it (timing based or what) 4. What is in the future seedling plans?

I am just trying to figure out why you would ever dream of planting morning glories. I would love to figure out how to get rid of them!! They take over my garden and try to take down my tomatoes. I am thinking of doing a good burn down before I do any soil prep to try and get rid of any seeds...

Not sure, however I like straigh as opposed to crook neck. They don't seem (to me) to get as tough of a skin which leaves them a little more tender. BUT this is just my opinion. Hobby

We actually planned ahead enought to put strawberry freezer jam in fancy jars to give away for xmas presents. Good - Cheap - Everyone loves it!

CSA? We harvest cabbage, broc, peas, strawberries, and a few other things by late April here in 7 so I would think you could get them by mid-late may where you are? Hobby

I am not sure I would take the tube out at all? I did a similar thing when I planted trees that have been around for about 8 years now and they are doing fine. I coiled a peice of 4 inch corrigated pipe and set the root ball right on top of it and then brought one end above ground. This gave...

Time for Hunting and Football!!!

I do the same thing that Kate does for the same reason.

There won't be wasted space on brussel sprouts. 3 years, not sprout, to HECK WITH THEM!!!!!. I have never figured out what I am doing wrong and I am tired of wasted time on them. Without a doubt there will be LOADS more peppers, hot and not. Do a little more harvest managment on the corn...

I agree, however there are a lot of canners that tell you not to use a burner like that while actually canning. Not sure why.

Is the cat up there hideing from the chickens? Hobby

If they are orange, pick'em. Let them sit out in the sun for a while as it will help them cure out a little before selling, decorating, storing, or whatever you plan to do with them. Or you can always just wait until the plant dies and then harvest, either works fine.

Yes you can go to farmers market and plant those cloves. You need to be planting it now if not sooner as garlic is a wintering plant.

The ball caning book makes some pretty good pear jelly. I just made 17 quarts by the directions that came out very well.
