I have 18 Indian Runner Ducks "cooking" right now! They are almost better layers than my hens and good bug catchers!

Oh no! I had already filled them and you're exactly right! I have grass coming through..I didn't realize they'd be able to find their way up! Other than digging them out and lining them between plantings one by one, is there anything else I can do? That wouldn't be the end of the world, either I...

I, being a city kid, had a great influence from my great aunt and uncle who were Georgia farmers. Other kids went to Disney in the summer, I rode a tractor in Baxley, Georgia all summer. I only recently got to buy my dream house in the country. We only have one acre and hope to acquire more, but...

OK, I won't pinch! Thanks!

I have about 20 tomato plants out in the garden, but I'm new to this. Why and when should you pinch off the blossoms? I have a few blossoms on there now...should I pinch them?

Very beautiful!

Beautiful garden! It's so well organized!

Wow, you guys have beautiful gardens! Here is one of my son working in our garden yesterday. It's a lot smaller than most of yours!

Thanks so much for the seeds! I have them soaking in some wet paper towels and it looks like I'll be getting them in my new raised bed this weekend! I wanted to send you some $ for the shipping at least, though, and couldn't make out your address for certain on the envelope. Would you mind...

That looks beautiful already!!!

Thanks so much, guys! I go have garlic in some spots in the backyard, and have since planted pole and bush beans, swiss chard, yellow and zucchini squash, and cucumbers. Now that my cabbage, broccoli, and brussel sprouts are bolting, I'll have even more space to fill! Also, last night I...

That stinks..I've been waiting to eat something for months! Can you do anything productive with the dark green loose cabbage leaves or the broccoli/brussel sprout stalks and leaves? Anything other than chicken/bunny food?

So funny...Take care of yourself and try to take it slow. Before you know it, you'll feel better than you have in years..

Thank you guys so much for these suggestions! You're such a helpful crowd. I have another questions about bolting if you'll try to help with, too. Last year I planted cabbage, broccoli, and brussel sprout seeds in my raised beds. I believe I planted them in November-pretty late, but I had just...

Thanks, I have seen these, I think. They were banded together, but instead of small dried bulbs, looked like tiny complete onions..I also couldn't find a marked variety, though, so was worried! Ridgerunner, can you recommend a slicing cucumber variety that you like?

Thanks!! Melons might be good..I do have some watermelon planted and I don't care for cantaloupe.. Do cucumbers climb? Is one type better than another? With onions, I bought some small onion "sets" from Tractor supply, but am confused...I couldn't find where it indicated the type/size of the...

My husband and I spent all weekend fencing in our raised bed garden and have some wood left over to build a few more "built-in" beds. I have way too many tomatoes and peppers of different varieties, a bed still full of beautiful lettuce, another with cabbage, broccoli, and brussel sprouts. I...

Actually, being inspired by your door-I've also been thinking of a bright color for both doors and shutters at our house! I'm leaning towards chartreuse, a shade of purple, or orange.

I can almost see everything waking up in the yard and the area in real time! I love seeing the dramatic crack in the dirt just before something emerges! This week, I have plump hyacinth and zinnias coming alive! Because we bought this house in the summer of last year, I'm watching it all happen...

oooooohhhhhhhh....I'm sorry! I probably caused the confusion because in retrospect I think this thread is about the flowers (considering it's in the flowers section) and I was talking about sugar snap peas! Blame me, I'm new to all this!
