    So sorry your body is defying you. Kind of hurts my feelings when my body turns on me. Take it slow at first hopefully its only temporary - it must feel good to be back outside playing/working!!

    First Potato Harvest

    Congrats on the potato harvest! I didnt get any from my attempt. Maybe I'll do more research and try again next year. I also didnt have a weed problem, I had what looked like a successful plant, but no potatoes in the dirt. I had straw over top mine, so maybe that helped with weeds? Oh and...

    Mulch questions

    i use straw in my beds with out newspaper and it works really well to keep the weeds down. i also use a drip system so i think that may be what helps the most. i have also used straw around my coldframe or on the paths and it doesnt seem to hold up very long for me, perhaps with cardboard or...

    Strwberries are planted! pic added!!

    very nice! i love my strawberry bed, but i think i would trade it for a pond. i didnt know they are so costly. i use straw in my bed to keep the weeds down, have you thought of anything to help with that? oh and by using straw it gives the berries a place to sit and ripen off the dirt.

    How do you anchor your tomato cages?

    i tried the fence cage last year, just 2 of them. i was able to reuse some old tent spikes to hold them in the ground. i think my placement doesnt get so much wind that it was a problem.
