    FINALLY!!! The tomatoes are starting to ripen!

    I've been spending weeks now staring out my window while washing dishes looking at my 100 green tomatoes sitting on the vine praying they will start to ripen. It's been so bad I've been dreaming about eating tomatoes 20 different ways. (Part of this may be that I'm getting very pregnant and...

    Green Tomatoes

    You put them in a paper sack with a banana :D Alton Brown did it on Good Eats. That was with a yellow tomato though, hopefully green will ripen in time! Good luck.

    Pea Plants turning yellow

    Not to steal the thread, but about planting a second round is that possible in zone 5? If this year is like the last it shouldn't get too cold until mid oct-nov. I would love to pull and get a second crop in yet!

    What did you pick today?

    The last couple days all we've been picking is radishes (2nd crop doing SO much better) to thin them out. DH planted them by digging two long trenches and walking dumping the entire see pack in lol. They all took and we have a bagillion of them out there. We thought our snow peas were done...

    garlic recommendations

    Why don't you buy it again? Is it something that comes back like rhubarb every year or is that assuming that you use a couple of your heads as seed for the next year?

    Strawberry Question...

    Our strawberries are growing sister shoots off of them, but I'm not completely sure on what to do. Do you wait until they are really long and stick the top of the shoot into the groud while it's attached to the plant or take it off the plant and plant it? So grateful for any advice from you...

    The Official Carrot Thread

    It just got into the 80s for the first time all year here yesterday. I think this week will be low 80s, we might hit the 90s eventually but it's normally a heat wave :p I hope that's not too hot, I suppose I can try and if nothing else I'll just scrap them and know I tried :D Thanks so much!

    Is anyone else growing Lemon cukes?

    It says they have a 65-70 day maturity rate, so maybe you could get them out of seeds. Just wondering cause I dont know that I've ever seen them already started and I think if you enjoy cukes you'll love these! But I hope you do find them started for you :)

    Is anyone else growing Lemon cukes?

    They kind of look like lemons sort of, they have the harder exterior of a cucumber but are yellow balls. Since I have no idea how to do photobucket or anything here is a link with a picture on it! http://www.humeseeds.com/cukelem.htm

    Is anyone else growing Lemon cukes?

    Oh fun I hope yours turn out wonderful too! They taste like the best cucumber of the season! The are a little bit sweeter I've heard people say but really they were just delicious, you know sometimes you get those cukes where the flesh has an "off" taste and then those that make you drool...
