    Indoor Growing for Gardeners Who Are Sick of the Snow!

    What do you mean by underground? Like greenhouses that are underground? That's something I've not heard of if that's what you mean, but sure sounds neat!

    What is the song or poem weighs up how you feel today??

    Roy is one of our favorites. Hubby plays guitar and sings for gigs now and then. I'll sing along on some, but he's got at least 6 of Roy's songs he does.

    Indoor Growing for Gardeners Who Are Sick of the Snow!

    Some here in Wisconsin have them, but they are few and far between and usually very small. The problem is the lack of sun in the winter, as well as the cold. We're thinking of going solar on our home, and that's a huge consideration, so we will tie into the grid against our wishes, but there...

    Indoor Growing for Gardeners Who Are Sick of the Snow!

    We like to freeze tomatoes for chili and spaghetti sauce and not only would that save $$ but oh my goodness so much better! We're old so may not pay for that grow light in the long run, but it is going to be fun to try!

    Indoor Growing for Gardeners Who Are Sick of the Snow!

    Good to know. That means I'm going to win! I bought a grow light and just planted four tomatoes to grow solely indoors. We can grow anything out here, just not tomatoes as the blight is horrendous. So this year, I'm going to try this. Hubby thinks he'll beat me and is trying some in the...

    What’s Your Top Gardening Resolution for the Coming Year?

    To try to grow tomatoes in the house, totally. We can't beat blight in the 10 years we've been out here, so this year, a few days ago, my grow light arrived. I'm going to try growing tomatoes solely indoors. Do not even try suggesting anything for blight, as we did it all. Even the disease...

    Blight-resistant tomatoes

    I think @heirloomgal has the best idea for us: get/build a greenhouse. I would like a small one anyway for growing my own annual flowers. In lieu of that for the coming year, I'm going to find a couple of those blight-resistant varieties @Decoy1 mentioned. We'll test by growing and leaving a...

    Blight-resistant tomatoes

    It's both airborne and can be in the soil, thus the reason for the new soil and mulch. We've honestly tried everything, but it's clear that new pots, soil, and mulch have nothing to do with preventing it, at least in our case this year. It's definitely airborne here. We could use a...

    Blight-resistant tomatoes

    I looked here for any suggestions, then googled it. Google names these supposedly popular types of blight-resistant tomatoes, yet I've never heard of them: Defiant, Mountain Magic, Jasper, and Legend. Has anyone had experience with these or know of others? I need to order some in the coming...

    Hi from Wisconsin, Zone 4/5

    We did Google recipes last year and chose one that said "Easy Grape Jelly." It wasn't easy getting all those skins off, that's for sure! But we'll just try to find a different one this year, I guess. Thanks for the tip on Alton Brown. I usually wind up at All Recipes dot com.

    Hi from Wisconsin, Zone 4/5

    Hi! :frow If you're on BYC, then we've already met. If not, I'm glad to meet new folks! I've been working on getting more native plants growing down by our creek. We've also got a small orchard of fruit trees, like peach, plum, and apple, where the property they're on, we grow wildflowers...
