Hmm.. Haven't heard anything about Burpee and GMO or Monsanto before (see link below for their rebuttal) but haven't tried tons of other seed companies either -- perhaps a change would be good...

We've got a fig tree in the front yard that we planted last year and it's about 4 1/2 feet high.. I noticed the other day a sucker that's growing at the base of the tree and is about 4-5" tall already. I'm under the impression I should remove it and I'm also under the impression I can grow...

Anyone got any suggestions for large shallots? I picked some up at the market the other day (here in Los Angeles) and they had some that were larger than a golf ball and some were almost as large as 2 golf balls.. I've bought shallots from Burpee in the past and they were about as big as...

Hey.. One more raised bed thought just popped in mind.. This one might be better for those of us (myself included) that do not like to bend over as much as we used to. The general thought is to have a square or rectangular outer raised bed box made in the typical fashion. Then, inside that box...

The guys I'm talking about are usually walking around the 'hood' as it's sometimes called around here.. They usually have pants that are literally hanging by a well tightened belt but still just one yank from falling down.. Interestingly enough I occasionally see young women trying the same...

One of these days I'll pass one of those kids and just do us all a favor and pull them down and run.. Lord only knows they won't be able to follow for a while.. I see them all year around here in the LA area.. Eww!

By the way.. You can download the Baker Seed Catalog in PDF form if you want to go that route and save paper/postage.. It's not too big -- only 128 pages..
