Mainly salsa. I will be having LOTS of tomatoes and LOTS of jalepenos! I've blanched and frozen my beans and peas, so no canning with those. I don't can meat...it doesn't appeal to me in the least and we don't purchase enough meat to can really.

Aw! Sorry about your flowers this year! I'm kind of excited! REALLY glad I got something that is nearly impossible to kill. I was feeling pretty pathetic..who kills a lily?! I'm gonna have to get one of those little fence things. Otherwise I can tell Marley is just itching to go and pee on them...

Wait! I do believe I may have zombie flowers! Look! The new things are growing in the exact spot where my old lilies were. I've since pruned the dead stalks to the ground...what do you think?!

I remember my dad would do his recipes, put the stuff in the cans and then put them into a giant thing of boiling water on the stove. Is that how it's done? The seal is activated in the hot water bath?? I'm also looking for a recipe for salsa. A recipe for a "small" amount of tomatoes, maybe...

I bought these lilies...they looked REALLY pretty. I planted them and got two gorgeous blooms. Now they are turning yellow. I watered every day for the first week while they took root and have started watering every 2 or 3 days, a really good soaking. Any ideas? They are in full sun with my...

Well...the Iris is the only thing living from that shot. Everything else died. Wonder why? Just browned up and died. I know 2 of them died because of my Lab. He just HAS to pee on them.

Yep! Really is my first garden! The previous owner dumped horse and cow manure into it for years intending to plant a garden. He never did. So...I get to plant in virgin soil! This winter once everything is done, I'll be putting chicken poo and shavings onto it and till it into the soil to get...

I was going to put into the ground if they would reseed that way. If not, was going to keep them in a container and bring them in under a grow light in the basement for the winter. Sorry....I'm in PA now. Haven't changed my account yet!

I just bought some gorgeous black petunias from Lowe's. This is my first run with an annual. Do I Have to keep buying new black petunias? Can I keep the plant alive inside all winter? Do they reseed before they die? Thanks for any help!

Will any type of container work?

I finally put in some flowers! Some Asian Daylilies, and my gorgeous Iris! You can't tell from the pic, but it's on a fairly steep slope. So drainage won't be an issue. The lilies were only $1 each bc they weren't in bloom. Should be gorgeous next year! :D

Hey all! Just wanted to give some pics of my garden! Please tell me if there is something I need to change! Onions, beans and sweet peas (made the trellis myself): Silver corn: Jalepeno: Mint (this thing was yellow when I got it!) : My tomato plants that look more like bushes...any idea...

So the one that I thought would attempt to make it was transplanted last week. Should it still be a bunch of sticks or should something be happening?

I did find out they will do well! The place I've picked for them is well drained and gets 8+ hours per day of light! I found one that is a dark purple! Gorgeous!

Thank you! I've lived in apartments for the past 7 years. We moved to PA and I planted stuff the fourth day here! I just hope we're able to reap what we sow before winter! This is my first time out of the south so getting used to lots of things at once!

This year is my first time to try a garden. I've got spinach, leaf lettuce, tomatoes (1 Celebrity, 1 Better Boy, 1 Early Girl and 1 Patio), 1 jalapeo, 1 mint and countless onion, peas and green beans! So far lots of sprouts from everything! Also have some silver corn! Yummy!!! Hope it makes...

I think it was...I only touched it with my fingers and the ring finger on my left hand had poison ivy....

Do I need to put some type of covering on the pruned areas or will they be ok with open air?

Well, the Tropicana was dusty wood all the way through. The Blue Boy on the other hand has a slight greenish tinge all the way through each sprig!!! It is now in a 5-gallon bucket of potting soil awaiting transplanting over the next two days! (don't know where we want it yet). Super excited!!!!

Gonna try to fertilize it every 2 weeks along with my vegetables. I use liquid Miracle Gro. It's got a new topping off of potting soil. Thank you! It was kind of sad being strangled by the weeds. I will prune off the stick stuff tomorrow!
