i saw them too, in a new $1 isle they have. I have a pair from last year and so does my youngest. He likes being able to just slip them on himself to run outside.

I get my info from my Carrots Love Tomatoes book, Ive mentioned it before :rolleyes: sorry. Its all about companion planting and natural ways of getting rid of pests. Learned several things I didnt know before, and I grew up on a farm and a garden every year.

my son finally got my field plowed this weekend. I hope to get my potatoes, peas and lettuce in this week. Have to go get some red beet seeds my mom just mentioned wanting some and she only has a small garden.

I watered my corn once or twice a week late in the afternoon. With transplanting the corn be careful, corn does not like to be transplanted. Growing cucumbers with corn will protect the cucumbers from wilt and they will like the shade the corn gives them. (ps, if you grow a couple radishes...

ive been using it for the last 3 years because its what my dad puts on his fields. It gets spread lightly and tilled in a few short weeks before I begin to plant. I dont have any problems. My soil also needs the boost because it was over grown for 20 years.

My boyfriend bought me an apple tree today, hope to get it in tomorrow. When i worked at an orchard I loved the Winesap apple, they close up a while back and you cant buy them at the grocery. Lowes was $4 cheaper than Home Depot and a much better looking tree.

I plan to use RUbbermaid garbage cans for rain barrels, its fairly easy to install a spigot and put screen over the top.

i had 2 trees cut down and the stumps ground. I used the shavings in my new flower bed I am constructing. They seem to be doing a good job and do look nice. I can get more, my son works for the guy who does the trees. If you can get it free even if you have to replace it every year its worth...

I think its best for people new to gardening to start with a few easy things, a few simple tools and go from there. 3 years ago I moved back out to the country after 10 years in town. I had not so much as a rake or shovel. My land hasnt been planted in more years than I can remember so its...

found info - One effective way to remove them is to place a bucket 1/4 filled with water near the infected tree, the tent caterpillars will be attracted to them and drown.

how does this compare to a wild raspberry?

i cant think of much right now but I know corn is a very heavy feeder and needs to be in a new spot every year with a heavy giver in the year after. And tomotoes like to be in the same spot every year unless there were disease problems last year.

I ordered a little while back from Baker Creek and they are usually very fast. It took more than a week and they enclosed a note saying they were so swamped they were running behind. Still very quick shipping I though. But I think most companies are getting too many orders to keep up with it.

I just found a pack of Tulip bulbs I forgot to plant in the fall. They have been in the unheated garage all winter. Can I plant them now?

I just watched a piece on the news about one company out west that tripled their business this year.

I have bigger eyes than sense I think :rolleyes: Peas - Lincoln Cucumber- marketmore Watermelon - Crimson Sweet Lettuce - Black seeded simpson Pumpkin (squash) - Musquee de Provence - Big Max - Galeux D'Eysines...

i didnt see many bees last year so I did some research on what flowers to plant. They like open flowers that are easy to get into and some colors more than others. They also love the clover that grows in my field. Do some research on what they like in your area.

my grandmother sauted them in butter and onion and made a gravy with them. I never tried the greens but the gravy was delish. My grandfather would roam the yard with a baggie and pocket knife but he liked the small young ones. Theres still a church here that has a dandelion dinner every spring.

make sure to build at least 2, they will use one as a nursery. I think it should be a little lower than the other but Im not sure, I cant find the website I read it on before.

dont forget to remove the fruit the first couple years
