Nutin much better than a homegrown mator samich!

Epson salts will also give your tomatoes a wonderfully sweeter taste.

How old are the little b...uh, darlings? Have you ever been able to catch them out there? Have you ever spoken to them or their parents? Sometimes making them think you're good and crazy helps. Are you in a location where you can scream like a banshee without getting locked away? Scream...

Don't remember a June this hot and humid in Ga. This feels like August. Can't stand to move till it's almost dark.

Belated happy B-day, Hattie. I'm not saying it's necessarily a bad idea. I see it from both sides. Yes, most of our population is ignorant about health. The guys you hang out with are not representative of the masses. Tags might help some to an extent. I also see a danger of misinformation or...

Wow! Perfect for gardeners. Hope they're not prone to the diseases of the honeybee.

What would it hurt to try the labels? I, like some others, shudder at words like regulations and certifications. My main concern would be; who's to say what's unhealthy and how unhealthy? Those views change from day to day and study to study. Remember when eggs were unhealthy; now they're not...

This reminds me of a year when I was assigned to teach a middle sch. health class because of budget cuts in the art dept. (which consisted of Me). When the kids were assigned to make a menu, they could not understand why they should not list ketchup as a vegetable. Ketchup, onions, french fries...

OK, Hoodat and Lesa, fill in those of us suffering with insect ignorance. Are mason bees sometimes called carpenter bees? Are they the ones that are making pinkie size holes in the porch railing/fencing I spent a fortune having built on rental properties? If so, why might I want to attract them?

Just called my local dept. of ag. For jams and jellies, baked goods, it' OK to sell at county/local gov. sponsored events such as our GOVERNMENT sponsored farmers mkt. bec. they take on the liability risks. But the lady said not at roadside stands or local mkts. without cert. kitchen. That's...

You could look this up on gardenweb ; put in selling canned goods. I didn't want to bring it up, but since it has been now, the FDA has its myriad of rules over everything. I don't think rules are just statewide. When I grew/sold shiitake mushrooms, the organization I was in's experts said any...

If you haven't already, I'd see if you can purchase ingredients and jars wholesale/bulk somewhere to get a cheaper price.

Actually, it wouldn't have. Cow manure is mostly grass and just has a slight earthy smell, only up close when it's fresh. It's nothing like the smell of the 4 commercial chicken houses that envelops my yard now. I'm building a tolerance to it, but I'll never not notice it. The only smell that...

That's good to know. I know a water moccasin won't go far from water.

Maybe this will make me get the nerve to go kill... I mean cull, the excess hen- torturing roosters pooping up the carport. My husband bought straight run XYZ@%#

I think this attitude is what our society is missing today.

Now, that sounds like a heck of a lot more fun than watching "As the World Turns". That was about the only thing on back then when we did beans, and my mother was hooked on it - it was her "show". Why, I don't know, as she got so mad at one of the characters that it was hard to be around her for...

I was raised on a dairy also. My father was "Dairyman of the Year" for Ga. a couple of times. My mother is kind of a cross between Mammy Yokum and the woman in Grant Wood's painting, "American Gothic".... talk about Puritan work ethic. As a kid I remember never mentioning being a farmgirl...

One hornworm (usually on tomatoes) can eat all your leaves off a plant in a hurry though, and when I saw that pic. of a whole half leaf gone, that's what I thought of too. If all the leaves on a annual get eaten, there will prob. be no recovery. But no need to get out the gas mask, if it's...

After pics., I agree, as animal bites would just be on edges. Look under leaves and on ground and under mulch for culprits. You may need to go out after dark with a flashlight. Lotta damage in a hurry makes me vote for caterpillar of some sort.
