I bought a 5lb bag of Hard Red Spring Wheat from Pinetree to try. I would imagine this would qualify as a old style type of wheat. https://www.superseeds.com/products.php?cat=439

I have a friend that went out to her garden this morning to find that something had uprooted a few garlic plants. Any idea what may have done this?

We have a very large Honeysuckle plant that was at our house when we moved in. It is growing up a trellis on the house. In painting the house, I had to take the trellis off the house to paint behind it. This Honeysuckle is about 3' wide and 10' tall w/ nice green growth on the outside...

I have a friend who is convinced that some time in the future the whole country is going to go under and there will be no food, water, or whatever. I spoke to him this weekend and he was up on his soapbox telling me how he had sent away for this heirloom seed pack intended for using when this...

We like Amish Paste.

Anybody raise these? I have 5 plants and they are all loaded. This is my first year with them. Anyone have any recipies to use them up? I would think they would make some tasty jam.

I just started my second planting of cabbage, broccoli, cauliflower, and brussel sprouts. These are all good for Zone 5 Fall planting. Also, spinach, leaf lettuce, and carrots. The species listed first seem to do better for me in the Fall. I think the reason is that it's starting to cool off...

These are older than that. I started them in mid March. For the brocolli, I only put 1 seed per cell. In 2 of the cabbage cells I put 2 seeds, and they both grew. When she transferred them, she left the 2 in one cell, so I know those are cabbage. But like I said, they all look exactly alike...

To answer your question, no it's not too late to plant tomotoes and peppers. In my expiriences, they don't really start growing well until mid June in Ohio, when the soil really starts to heat up. Last year I put some out the end of June and still got some tomatoes, but they were smaller and...

We had a little mishap when transplanting our cabbage and brocolli into bigger containers. My wife didn't realize both where started and now they are all mixed up. I consider myself an expirienced gardener, but for the life of me, I can't figure out which is which. Anybody know of a way to...

Some books I've read say not to plow your garden. Reason being is that it is believed rain water creates a drainage path, and once it's established, you don't want to disrupt it. Others will say it is better to plow because it brings new dirt to the top, and along with it fresh nutrients...

I am going to put some permanent beds in my greenhouse and need something to fill them with. That is why I am wanting it. I would like to be able to start the seeds in the beds in the Spring and also be able to grow spinach, lettuce, ect in the Fall/early Winter.

Here is the covering I bought: http://www.teksupply.com/farm/supplies/prod1;ts1_greenhouses_accessories-ts1_greenhouse_accessories-ts1_greenhouse_covering-ts1_greenhouse_films_2;pg108632.html More about this angle of the roof. Can you give me any kind of general idea as what the pitch (or...

I am wanting to make my own germination/potting soil mix. I know I have seen a few recipes on here for it, but can't seem to find it after doing a search. If you have a recipe, please share it with me.

I am very pleased with them. This is our second year ordering from them. I just started my cabbage and brocolli. One $.95 pack of cabbage seeds had 30 seeds, and all 30 are growing nicely.

After several years of talking about it, we had decided to put up a greenhouse. The structure is going to be made of 2"x4" painted lumber, and we bought some covering from TEK Suppy. The greenhouse is going to be 8'wide and 12'-16' long. It is going to be a lean-to style connecting to a shed...

If I do it this Spring, I will want to pull all the blooms off the transplants when they appear, correct? They aren't the everbearing type.

Thank you so much for the advise. It was very helpful.

So you can just snip the vine that connects mother to daughter when I go to move them? You're right about them exploding. I couldn't believe how many daughters they produced the first year. If I had known this before, I would have planted my intial planting much thinner.

I have my strawberries in raised beds. A few of the beds are overcrowded, and a few of them are really thin. I am wanting to remove some daughters from the overcrowded bed and transplant to the less populated ones. When is the best time of year to do this Spring or Fall? And second, can I...
