    HR 875 Anyone else Freaked Out by this??

    1st it was NAIS (being voted on tomorrow - March 20th). Then it was the rush through bill for lead content that had everyone scared to death and basically put all the small business people sewing clothes for children, not to mentiong the little grandpaw at the flea market who sells wooden toys...

    Strawberries... had to cancel an order

    Just thought you would like to know. My strawberries from Gurney's arrived 2 weeks ago and are doing great. Only lost one plant. My bundle of 25 Everbearing contained about 28 plants so I am still ahead. On a side note: My husband was also thrilled about building another bed for me...

    Loofa Instructions

    Loofa Instructions

    yep - 20 ft. seems to be working for me so far to avoid cross pollination. It sure sounds better than having to lease. LOL

    Loofa Instructions

    I have done a little leg work this morning checking on the cross pollination issues. Everything I read says 1000 ft to 1/4 mile apart. I use my loofas for my own personal use and give them to anyone who wants one. Most just look good hanging on the vine and go to the garbage before the seed...

    Loofa Instructions

    smom1976 - do an internet search for loofa soap. There are tons of instructions out there for different processes. Most of what I have looked at have been melt and pour but there are probably some cold process instructions as well.

    Started a couple seeds today

    Watch those seeds close. They will probably sprout quicker than that. As soon as they break ground be sure to give them air or they will get leggy and/or mold. Both of which can kill them. Picture the sad face of someone who used that method for the first time and killed all her seedlings...

    Loofa Instructions

    Cheryl, We have had loofa for years - so many years in fact that they pop up all over our yard. For the last several years we have let them grow about 20 ft from our squash, cucumbers and zucks. Never had a problem with cross pollination at that distance. I have no clue what the professional...

    Best way to freeze butterbeans/lima beans?

    I have never grown that particular varitity but I just shell, and freeze my peas and beans. I do vaccum seal them though. I wash them before I use them but not before I freeze them. On the rare occasion I do wash before freezing I make sure that I get as much water as I can off of them...

    Ready? On your mark...get set...

    I am as ready as I will ever be. I have all my seed here or on the way, well all my seed unless I decided at the last minute to plant something else. LOL And that is a very real possibility knowing me. DH started breaking up the garden a few weeks ago. This is a new garden spot so lots of...

    Garlic plants

    I am really happy to have it in the ground. Now, keeping my fingers crossed that it will come up. Guess I will know then. I don't know if this is hardneck or softneck but at least its garlic in the ground. Hope your tomato seeds are good. When will you be home?
