Goji Berry I've been looking into goji lately and have found some remarkable evidence that they may well be worth the trouble. They have a pleasant taste but their medical benefits are astounding being 5 times more powerful than blueberries. They can grow almost anywhere and few are as...

I planted a lot of cabbage this year and now at harvest Im finding a lot of green worms that eat holes in the cabbage. Prior to this I saw many white butterflies over the garden and I think they are related. The cabbage was salvageable, pull of enough leaves and its still seems good to store...

Thank so much guys. I just ran in from harvesting greens to see what you have to say... its good news that chard will replenish itself! My 6 plants will go much further than I expected. I will be selling it tomorrow (hopelfully) at the farmer's market.

So how do they shell sunflower seeds? Is there a home machine for the job?

Can you please explain what grow guard is and where can I get Kweik lettuce seed? thanks

I have about 6 plants of swiss chard. I got the seeds from a seed library and I am suppose to let some go to seed and send them back. Its a red chard. Can I harvest just a few stalks/leaves from each plant and expect more to grow so I can harvest more later? should I cut the whole plant down...

Thank you for the link. It answers all of my questions.

Italian recipies often call for fennel. I put it in my spaghetti sauce and now no spaghetti sauce is right without it! Love it.

I see that rhubarb is generally sold a root stock but Im not willing to spend $12 for them. I have some rhubarb seeds. Is there anything special I should know about getting them to sprout and grow?

Thanks everyone. More to chew on and Ill go through this reading this week. I was certainly hoping for an easier answer... like oh dont worry about it. It will go away :rolleyes: I do think it is late blight. everything looked so well till just a month ago. One type of potato we planted didn't...

Doesnt anyone know about potato blight and how to prevent or manage it?

my potatoes got blight this year. From what Ive read it can be caused by too much overhead watering. Last year no problem but this year they did get more overhead watering due to the potato patchs location close to the other veggies. Next year I will water them with a soaker hose and move them...

My potatoes got blight this year and I suspect it was from overhead watering daily We are due for our first heavy frost this weekend. Should I cut the greens down? Let the frost have them? I have learned that potatoes grow in size considerably after the first frost and the greens are killed...

Thanks! I have had beets purchased at the supermarket last over 6 months in the frige... but its been a while ago

would like to plant some garlic this fall but the prices in the catalogues are extreme! anyone have any for a reasonable price? Im looking for about 30 cloves.

I have a lot of beets that I plan on storing in the spare frige for the winter. How do I clean these. Will a soft brush be ok? Should I cut the root tails off or at least short? Should I have them fully dry or slighly damp. I was going to put them in plastic bags but perhaps wrapping them in...

To me the best way to eat them is cooked and mashed with butter and salt and pepper.... UUUMMMM :) but those pickles look interesting too!

Thanks , I'll remove the grass clippings tomorrow.
