I agree....we are loosey goosey here compared to other forums. You'll find a lot of good info gets lost in personal journals that could be more easily accessed on the appropriate forums, but folks get used to just talking in one place and so they continue to do so. I'm just as guilty, I...

Can't WAIT!!!! 😄 You need @majorcatfish....he too is somewhere in the middle, where life is sooooooo much better, according to him. :gigHe also grows some stunning gardens, so he's got those bragging rights honestly. So glad you are here!

:gig Now, Seedcorn, one person's revulsion can be another's art! My brothers used to attempt many drawings and quotes in the snow each winter, which they considered quite the masterpieces. :lol:

@YourRabbitGirl , Alex(NYboy) died last year, so this thread is a nonissue. Although I think he would love it that someone is trouncing him on this long after he has departed....I think it would tickle his funny bone to know that folks are still having a conversation with him. 😄

Around here second cut has tons of seed in it. So far I've not seen any weeds arising out of spreading these bales. But, since this is lawn and you'll be mowing it constantly, wouldn't the benefits outweigh the risks? It's not like any weeds will get big enough to make a stand and spread...

You could maybe halt the use of so many dishes by making them do all the dishes by hand. When my teen sons were burning through the homemade bread, I made it a rule that whoever ate the most bread that week had to make the next batch of bread. They all got quite proficient at making...

Hon, he's no longer alive, so trying to give him advice won't work at this stage. ;)

Now you've done it..... :smack:rant:somad Actual pic of my youngest son, exploring his roots with the help of some "billy bob teeth" ...... 😁

Red, I miss you and love you!!!! I hope you are having a happy birthday!!!

I buy local also....a garden center that sells organic seed potatoes and has the varieties I prefer. They perform well, so I give them repeat business.

Most likely we have similar weather patterns and climate to the origin of the Brandywine. We also get similar performance from most of the beefsteak varieties, as well as fair production from bush varieties. Just good soil for tomatoes, I figure....not so great for peppers and onions, I'm...

Even your cherry tomatoes?? My brother's cherry tomatoes will often grow 12-14 ft tall/long and he has to stretch them out long ways on a full length CP. Mine will usually get 10 ft. tall, so they go up and over the trellis and lop down on all sides. My Brandywines and other indeterminate...

Yep....just cover it with hay~not straw~in the fall and you'll have grass hay in the spring. The hay mulches the hay seed found naturally within the bale, holding in moisture and protecting the young sprouts until they are strong. I did that around the dog's run line and house last winter...

No worries....I plant cherry tomatoes on the trellis over my garden gates also....it's the only trellis I have that's big enough to handle them. They do fine, grow like something from outerspace and produce well, so if it works I say don't fix it. I guess I have a few standard practices in...

Me too. I keep expecting to see one of his crazy posts every time I come here and am always disappointed when I look, but then remember....he was a funny, sweet guy.

It's a moot topic now, I'm afraid. NYboy lives in our hearts on this forum but is gone from the Earth.

We only add a tsp of salt and water. We usually can them up in thick slices, stacked up in the jar...this way you can roll them in flour and cornmeal and fry them when you get them out. You can use pickle crisp if you want them to retain some crispness. Boiling water bath/steam canning...

I'm sorry you've been so sick, Bob!!! It's been a bad winter for illness around here too. I'm hoping you get on the mend soon and are bushy tailed in time for garden season. :hugs

Us southern folks are always told we pronounce things wrong. We feel differently about that....if you have a name or a town name that creates issues about pronunciation, it sounds like a personal problem and not ours to deal with. :D We live in America, folks and towns are free to change...

Sounds just like I say it....didn't know it was an issue. Are some folks getting it wrong or something?
