I'm doing three sisters this year. I am following the diagram on this site: http://www.reneesgarden.com/articles/3sisters.html :happy_flower :tools

Given the fact that there is now a second bill for new urban developments to be able to collect rainwater and attention is being brought to the isssue MAYBE in time we all won't have to hide and camoflauge our rainbarrels, we can all come out in the open without fear of reprisal and arrest :hide...

If your still looking for rhubarb recipes try www.savor-the-rhubarb.com I just found this site, but looks interesting Enjoy :rainbow-sun

Thankyou Thankyou Thankyou I will go and get some tomorrow I'm sure I can find that locally at the garden shops. There may be hope yet :ya :ya . Between the weather and the worms it has been a rough start to the season here. Thankyou again

FYI There was a Bill I can't remember the number but Marsha Looper brought it before the house in CO and I believe it passed or will so that it will no longer be illegal to collect rainwater. I think the whole rainwater water/graywater issue is stupid, how can a state own something that falls...

I'm about ready to give up on all my gardens and the greenhouse the cut worms are everywhere :rant :rant :somad :somad :sick :sick I had potted up some of my maters and one was completly eaten this morning dug around in the pot and sure enough cutworm, I am starting to get a real pleasure in...

Well that is what we did in our backyard area, we have 5 acres but fenced off a backyard roughly 100x40 with one area expanding to 60 ft to create a kinda microclimate, more condusive to growing veggies and such. Last fall I deceided that if I'm going to water something then it is going to be...

I put mine in the ground Apr 21 and I have been seeing them pop up the last two days, the all blues and cranberry reds, the yukons have yet to poke their little noses up :tools

Neither had I warmfuzzies, until this year. I spoke to the director of Pikes Peak Urban Gardens yesterday and he told me everyone is having issues with cutworms this year, probably because we had such a mild winter.

I am battleing cutworms also I'm going to try the toothpick suggestion. I had placed collars around my cabbage and when I checked on the plants today there was a cut worm crawling up the collar :somad :somad , thankyou reinbeau for a great idea. :happy_flower

Tried that with my little RI banty but she quickly deceided that trying to dig up moms taters would be more fun than looking for worms :barnie DH brought home a huge toad he found in the road tonight so maybe Mr Toadly likes cutworms we'll see.

I have been faithfully covering up my 4 (out of 9) remaining cabbage plants each evening thinking it was a bunny nibbling my leaves, well the more I looked at the leaves I really thought it looked like caterpillar damage but I know the cabbage worms aren't out yet, started digging and found...

Boy warmfuzzies I hear ya, my housework tends to get a tad ignored in the early spring. I try to get up extra early and get everything done before 7am inside so I can have the rest of the day outside, but it doesn't always work that way :idunno .... Oh well that is what rainy days are for I...

Hi Hattie, Dragon tongue beans are a pretty heirloom bean, buff colored with purple streaks, can be eaten as a snap bean or a dried bean. I love them, I've only had them fresh but if I do well with them this year I may dry some. I don't soak my beans but I should probably try that, I do soak...

Today was beautiful here in Colorado :coolsun just a bit of wind this afternoon. I started my three sisters garden today with the corn Ruby Queen . Also got in some cukes, Lemon, Classy Hybrid and Simply Sweet. Watermelon and cantalope, dragon tongue beans, wax beans, carrots, some pansy...

Thankyou insiderart, that is very good info to have :happy_flower

Thankyou jlmann and Catalina I feel better knowing I don't have any blight stuff going on. It is just too hot in there so I'm going to pot everyone up and put a few in the garden. I think the greenhouse will be better suited for starting things and hardening things off. Thankyou again for...

Ok this is the worst leaf at the moment, could it be from the greenhouse being too hot or too cold?

No and No. Thank you for your quick reply. I'll go run and get a pic. :)

My mixed variety heirloom tomatoes are turning a tan color on the very tips of the leaves, then it seems to develop into spots on the leaves then the leaves start to wilt then basically drop off. Is this a fungus? Or a soil problem. These are in the greenhouse in the ground, I'm seriously...
