Going to be a strange crop year here again... too cool in the spring and only now are the tomatoes getting little green marbles, which is about 6-8 weeks behind. My 'future garden' would be the completion of THIS garden, as in keeping the ****** deer and squirrels out of it without having to...

Welcome to TEG! I'm on the other side of the Smokies from you. My experience with carrots, when you see them 'just' crowning, it's time to pull. Since I have a bad tendency of not thinning them when the germinate, I will pull some early after they've been growing a while, as though I were...

Congratulations @Artichoke Lover !

Well, I'm sad to report there was no germination. Bummer. I'll have to hunt some down online and try again.

You too? The DH said he didn't hear it, that it was just my tinnitus, but I swear I've been hearing some cidadas....

Welcome! It will be interesting to discuss types of herbs and how you things grow in your area compared to ours.

We don't, but the neighbor does. Let's hope hey do their thing!! Supposedly, the 'music' starts in May. I have ear plugs, lol....

A HA!! Indeed it is!!

Is it acceptable to ask what BYC is?

Welcome, from across the Smoky Mountains. :) In addition to the normal bugs, this year will be a bumper crop of cicadas so enjoy the 'silent' bugs while you can!

Our Hummers showed up on Saturday. :)

Welcome, from North East Tennessee! Just planted hardneck garlic this year after at least a decade hiatus, so I feel like a newbie at it again. I can understand excitement when something comes back, I am myself for most things, but, ah, you may want to keep a close eye on the mint. It can...

We've been slowly stocking Folgers 'Simply Smooth' coffee which is reduced acid, which is better for me. Not always easy to find, but the local grocery started carrying it, and we've been snagging at least one per week. Do you think a dozen in storage is too much? :weee

I have in the past added mulched leaves (through the vacuum part of the leaf blower) directly to raised beds and let them overwinter and have the elements do a bit of the work for me. I've also had 'freedom parties' for my bin worms that I'll release at the end of the fall so they have time to...

Our HP has decided it doesn't want to work anymore, and of course we have a stash of unused color ink cartridges for it. If anyone's HP inkjet printer uses 61 color cartridges, I'll be more than happy to send them along. No guarantees on condition or age.

I've seen pictures, so I have an idea what to expect. They have been 'started', about 10 days ago, heat matted, grow lighted, and nothing yet.. As to over wintering, well, if the Husband ever decides to file for divorce, it may well be the reason of hundreds of plants overwintering in the...

Welcome! At least I'm not the newest newbie anymore. :) I enjoy mushrooms, but know nothing about the cultivation of them, sorry.

Gas has gone up a good .70 since January, food prices definitely up. Housing around here is just shy of shocking, that's been going up over the last 2 years or so, and zoomed up during lock down. Some people are in panic mode. I know I laid in an extra supply of seeds, but that was about...

I'll be happy if I get them as annuals. I'm in zone 7a - ish, so we can get freezes, but they don't usually last long. Elevation is about 1200 feet.

If I get it going, I'll post a picture. I'm a bit south of you, so maybe warm enough?
