We had several of these stupid things along the front "porch". They're all yellow flowered, and we just snipped them off at the ground. There are sprouts coming up, and I plan to dig them up here shortly. Before I do, I figured that I'd offer some up to anyone who pays shipping and any other...

So, I'm not worried about going organic, but I'd like to know what formulas I should use for my plants. I have peppers (I assume types don't matter), tomatoes, hopefully carrots and beets (I assume they use the same type), herbs (I assume rabbit poop will be good with the nitrogen), lavender (I...

So, I have carrots and beets that I want to try my hand at. The carrots, well, we really don't eat a lot of carrots, but, I have rabbits that I can share with. I plan to can several quarts for stews and such. The beets, well, mostly will be used for pickled eggs. Either way, I really want to...

I'm super excited. I've been waiting and waiting and waiting to order my weeping mulberry. I was waiting to see if a local supplier could order one in for me. Only one (out of 3-4) contacted me back, and they kept in contact with me, but their suppliers had all stopped supplying the weeping...

Awhile ago I was researching tobacco plants, because the ex-husband used to smoke like a chimney. I learned in my research, that tobacco can be used to make a natural pesticide, and can actually repel insects from other plants near it while it's growing. So, has anyone else ever tried either...

I may have asked this before, I'm not entirely sure. Anyways, last year, we canned up two 13g garbage bags full of sweet banana peppers. I have two dozen sweet banana pepper seedlings and I'm wondering how much this should produce. I'd really like to be able to produce the same amount as we...

So, I have a ton of excess seeds, and some that I may never get to plant, so I'm hoping to trade for something that I may use. Some of my excess seeds are from the seed trains, some from trades, etc. If I'm stepping on toes, please let me know that I got a particular seed from you and you'd like...

So, this will be my first garden. We finally have the space picked out, but the bf wants to bring up a rototiller to get it ready for me, and wants to wait for spring. I, on the other hand, am willing to dig it all up by hand and get started NOW! Lol. Anyways, I started a lot of seeds in coffee...

I sprouted some popping corn as an experiment on the fridge. 4 of 5 sprouted, but three are moldy. Can I salvage them, or should I just toss the moldy ones? I didn't want to put them into soil without knowing.

So, I know that amish paste was recommended for canning. I have a few more specifics this time around, now that it's actually time to get my seeds started. I need one that I can get seeds from to restart next year, as well as to trade. I also want a prolific one, one that I can get a good...

I have seeds for regular bell peppers, carnival mix peppers and I think another type of bell pepper. I also have sweet banana peppers. Can I grow them in the same area, or will they all cross-pollinate? I'd like to save seeds for trading and for next year's growing as well.

I have some nicely started plants, mostly peppers, but others as well. They're all started in those jiffy peat pellets and under 24 hour lighting. Some of them are as tall as 2 or 3 inches, but, I have mold on the peat pellets! How do I get rid of it without damaging/killing my little plants and...

I want to try my hand at canning this year, but I'm wondering, what are good tomatoes for canning? I'd probably want to can big chunks for chili, s'ghetti, and possibly make my own s'ghetti sauce. Any tips or anything would be appreciated. Also, how many plants should I plant for each jar that I...

I have peppermint, spearmint and catnip that I want to start, but, I'm not sure of the best way to start them. Right now, all I have are those jiffy peat pellet thingies. Should I try to find a tray type container and just fill it with loose peat/potting soil and put one type of mint per tray...

Well, I planted 12 bell pepper seeds and 12 ornamental pepper seeds (chilly chili I believe), and I'm wondering what else I need to do. I used those peat pellets, moistened them until they were fully "grown", then added a seed to each one. They're in the kitchen, near the door, and it's fairly...

The owner of our company brought some of these in last year, and I am in love with them. I'm wondering if you can seed start these, and if so, does anyone have seeds for sale? If no seeds, how do you start them, and, again, does anyone have any?

Well, we got a bunch of those cherry/grape tomatoes today, and our one year old son just can't get enough of them. They're perfect for a little snack for him, so I'm wondering if I can pull the seeds from the ones that we bought and then grow them, or do I have to age one or what? I'd love to be...
