Is that all? Cool.

3/19/13 21 out of 30 mounds all have sprouts. :watering

Yes that's the pumpkin. I was a bit worried about my 3S garden. It seems to be a bit slow on the take off. But...... yesterday I was out watering. I decided to use a hose so I could surface spray the mounds. I saw squash sprouts.:ya. It actually looked like the same plant in 2 or 3...

Hoodat do you direct seed your cuc's? I have the worst luck getting my cuc's to take but once they do then their off. I have used field fence formed into an tube. About 1 1/2 ft across stacked double high for my cuc's for years. You just have to be sure to tie them up on a regular basis...

Not to sure about that. I grow lots of carrots in raised beds. They taste great. Maybe it's a soil thing. :hu I have also left carrots over winter accidentally, but they usually get hairy.:ep Gina

Friday March 8, Saturday 9th rained like the dickens. Everything got a good soak. Should be in the upper 70's by Friday and Saturday of this week. I'm hoping for sprouts. Gina

Yes I got lucky. But like I said I looked on CL for 2 years before I found mine. It is so heavy that when I went to pick it up the lady had kinda dropped it. :barnie. Lucky for me the cabinet had just separated bit. My hubby fixed it up no problem. G

Your going to find just as many opinions and options on this topic as well. Depends on how often you plan to use it I think. Is it going to be an every day thing? Or do you just want one on hand for the occasional grinding in case of say a power outage etc... There are a few types as well...

Just a note for myself to keep track. Saturday/ Sunday 2 &3rd I planted the corn and various winter squash. Butternut, Pennsylvania crook neck, pie pumpkins, spaghetti squash, dumpling squash, and that huge French pumpkin. Mosque De something. I ran my soaker hose for a while and with a push...

Hi Hoodat!!! :frow I hope the Quinoa works out for you. If so I might have to give it a try up here in North County. Another thing that is giving the quinoa a boost in popularity is that it's Gluten Free. A nice alternative grain. gina

I agree the All American is top of the line. I personally just bought a 30 q t for myself. I however started many years ago with the Presto canner. It is under 100 dollar's and works great. Pressure canner pots can always be used for water bath canning. I would start with water bath...

Good. Thank you. That's exactly what I'm going for. Gina

Thanks BayMule, I managed some soaker hoses this week. I probably should have used black poly pipe with drips but I wanted something a bit easier. I have been thinking about the corn I am planning to plant. I went in my stock pile and found some kernels I saved, one labeled shoe peg...

Those are very nice. You are very talented.

That's a great idea. Thanks.

Thanks. I hope I have not bitten off more than I can chew!! :P Actually Journey said that the HYBRID sweet corns might not be strong enough. I am only using heirloom seeds. But still I need to be able to grind the corn. I don't want gummy like everyone is saying. I'm going to back on...

So the adventure has begun. I am definetly not and expert gardener. My forte is throwing seeds in the dirt and waiting to see what happens. Please keep this in mind. This weekend I kinda planned out the space where my 3 sisters is going to go. Marked the corners guestimated the spacing of...

Ahh Now I know where you are. We Traveled that far north a few years back. Took the 5 north and crossed to the north of Clear Lake. We camped at an RV campground south of Crescent City where the Klamath meets the Pacific. Drove the Redwood Hwy, went to the Trees of Mystery etc...

Well since I guess I fit in the category of never being around. But I'm curious about where you live in Ca. Can you tell me the closest large city? I'm curious about the terrain and growing season. Gina

Actually I think I'm about an hour north. I'm in North County San Diego about 6 miles from the coast. For me Cool season veggies start in Feb and pretty much everything else starts in March. Mostly mild temps until late Sept when it can get as high as 110 deg. The Farmers Almanac says ideal...
