Okay, time to let you take a peek.... I am standing at the edge of my garden, in front of the squash. The garden expands almost to the tree line in the back. Saturday we began the task of staking the rattlesnake pole beans.... Today we picked the very first of the squash. What fun we...

I would like to try some perennial vegetables in the veg. garden. I'm looking at asparagus but what are some other plants that I could try?

I miss the random talk that everyone does on BYC....and this might get everyone a little more comfortable with other members. I'll start. It rained all day, again. It was so stormy that the Hubby didn't get to go deer hunting, poor thing. And the kids return to school tomorrow from their...

When I first began my compost bin I thought the higher it was the better it was!!! I crammed my autumn leaves in there four feet high! Problem was it was taking forever for this to compost. To reduce the size of your leaf pile and hasten composting you must shread your leaves with a...

Every year our local bank provides its customers with a free calender. Oh, not just any calender, but one that provides on the first page an "explanation as to how you can make practical use of the signs of the zodiac as shown on your American Almanic calender". The calender provides an image...

Every once and a while I prepare a dish with fresh ginger root. I run to Wal-mart, pick up my root which is far more than I need. So I put the extra that is not used into the fridge, it's forgotten about and the next time I see it it has become a dried, shriveled up, hardly identifiable mass...
