I have actually been to Comstock Ferre. How exciting they are being reopened. I haven't ordered seeds yet this year. I'll have to check out what they've got. Thanks for posting the info!!
I am considering this collection from John Scheepers Kitchen Garden Seeds:
#9100 The Essential Tomato Garden
Since we have such a large collection of wonderful tomato varieties, we developed this special Collection with our core, top-picks for the complete tomato garden to meet all of your...
Thanks! The cherries here would just be for snacking. I've wanted to try the Russian types. The climbing type sound interesting too. Sounds like I've got a couple of new ones to try!
I'd love to find one variety that was good for both sauce and salsa. Not a lot of room here! I usually have a couple of big salad type and a cherry in pots on the deck, but I think I've got a new spot to fence in, in the sunniest spot in the yard, to do a little raised bed gardening for...
A quick search did not net me any easily found answers....
What are your favorites? I don't have a ton of space to try lots of different varieties the same year to see what works best here. Thanks!
Found some locally AND found a pick your own farm not too far from here with berries right now! I won't even have to wait until next year to try a few recipes. :D
It really wasn't too hard. I had made cow's milk mozz recently with a friend using a kit from New England Cheese Making Co. Used the same kit with the goat's milk and it worked just as well. :)
We had planned on getting two kids this spring which we did, then an opportunity came up to also...
Nothing too exciting. Salad greens with fresh peas and homemade goat's milk mozzarella from our goat. Dressing flavored with some basil. Simple but delicious!
I found Miller Nursery in Canandaigua NY. I think I will contact them about planting times etc and order some. After I measure from my tree to see if 900 ft falls in a decent location to grow them!
Decided to look into this again after seeing some at Old Sturbridge Village. I contacted the Extension Agent here in CT. It is legal to grow red currants in CT. It is recommended to plant them 900 feet from any white pine. (White Pine blister rust is the disease currants caused a problem with)...
That's what my DH does too. He's got a long pair of thick black "linesman's gloves". He pulls it out then immediately comes in and strips. He takes a shower with naphtha soap then washes his clothes in hot water. The vinegar rinse is a great idea too.
Can you borrow some goats?
My peas survived the torential rains we got last week! I've got two sprouting today. Of course, they're in pots which helped them dry out a bit. I put in Red Fire lettuce today.
Okay, here's what it says:
"Currants are a novelty item in certain sections of the United States where the bushes were uprooted because they harbored a fungus destructive to the white pine. If you are fortunate enough to have some, by all means maked jelly with them."
