oh yeah and the plastic sheets are from my new mattress that I got this fall I use it to protect (when I remember) against frost.

So things are still alive after our early cold snap and my absolute neglect. I often come home in the dark and am totally scared of a dark garden that is where serial killer wait for you. But I still have things growing and now I am wondering what to. Within the next month it is time to...

I have several cast iron skillets and they really are the best. They cost nothing when compared to the constant price of buying Teflon coated pans or the fear of not throwing them away soon enough as the Teflon peals away (i heard it causes Alzheimers).

Thanks hoodat. I am going to try them this year. I have tried a ton of stuff and now am limiting myself to things I like and are manageable.

Wow 2000 is a lot. I grew three. But they got lost in the bed and were overtaken by the marigolds. I was ok with it cause the merry golds did so well. I would try them again if they were just a bit less care. I need plants without maintance.

What do you mean hoodat? As it grow shoots will form and then harvest those? will that decrease productivity? How do you make the shoots?

I had a few and the ones that got sun always looked bad. but the ones that were more shaded looked great. Always fragrant (almost as good as a sweet olive). They have mineral deficiency problems so you will have to give them some care but other than that they should work well for you in Georgia.

Awesome, I will put the Japanese sweet potato on my list for things to grow next season.

Thislebroom absolutely goresous.

I am pretty much over the SFG. To me it is more work to try to stay organized and my plants dont want to fit in the SFG. I tried to plant the tomatoes that way but my season is so long that the plants get to big. As well as my peppers. Anyway I think that plants are happier went not crowded...

Wow that sure is a temperature swing and a gorgeous view!

Has anyone done the bean TeePee in a small raised bed garden. I always struggle to keep my beans controlled and it seems that the TP would take up too much valuable space in a small garden.

I just want to skip this post. Cause I am around a 100 pounds over that BMI thingy. I have lost 26 pounds on my WW but I think I have plateaued. I need to increase (or actually do) my exercise to get over this hump. But it is getting cold (like 60 degrees in the morning) and dark. and my...

I am going to make a roast - don't know how yet and a duck. The duck I used to make in my rotiserie but that blew out and now I don't know how I will make it. That and I skinned it cause although I love skin it hurt my hand to pluck em. And I am going to try a weight watcher pumkin pie...

Dang, I can't grow squash and winter squash is so expensive in the store! But all this talk sounds delish!

Soil tests don't always test for nitrogen. My extenstion agent said they never test for it cause it is so dynamic that it could be there one day and gone the next. Try just adding a balanced fertizler and a ton of compost to the soil. I think corn is often used as a nitrogen mop as are squashes.

I am disappointed in my garden mums for the second year in a a row. I plant them and they only flower a bit after I buy them then nothing. They stay puny little things that I can't see. Next year I am going to stay with violas and pansies.

So who want some free canna Lilly seeds. These are red and are free for you for just the price of a double stamped envelope. So let me know who wants some.

I have grown eggplant the last few years. With the italian varieties I have a lot of bug problem. This year I used an asian and the plant was alot happier and is still produceing. I don't know about the watering or the lack of bloom set. But I always only grow one plant by it self cause that...

I cook the baby bok choy in a bit of soy sauce an sesame oil tastes great and smells better. I will also occasionally add some fish sauce to the mix. I got one quick question how long does a broccoli head take to develop? Like I see the little button head but how long does it take to get big.
