Hi,
I am in Terrebonne and generally have a pretty successful garden every year. I plant onions, lettuces, spinach, carrots, radish, beans, peas, potatos, corn, pumpkins, winter squash, summer squash, cucmbers, tomatos, peppers, cantaloupe, watermelon, eggplant, brussel sprouts, broccoli...
Thanks GardeNerd,
I really enjoyed your photos. The grapes in particular have me excited about my project. I had previously read that the dwarf apples were good but that the stone fruits were lacking and that with active pruning of standard size trees it would be fairly easy to keep the size...
We are getting ready to put in an approx 70X100 foot orchard area plus grape vines and one end of it dedicated to berries. I am looking for opinions on which is better dwarf or standard fruit trees. I live in zone 5. I like the idea of dwarfs for easier care, less space, can plant a bigger...
This isn't a halloween game but it is certainly a fall game. I got 36 on my first try. I just want to thank you all because I have really found this thread, the information and the photos very enjoyable.

These pumpkin recipies were just in my Backwoods Home Magazine and I wanted to post them here for everyone. I haven't tried any yet but plan to.

The Pumpkin Patch
We heard on the news a few days ago about an over 800 pound pumpkin grown by a California woman and her son. We figured...
I have fed science diet to both my dogs and cats for years. I do know that all dogs are different and while some do fine on diets with the grains others don't so it's best to base your decision on your dogs appearance of health and appetite.
If your dogs coat is shiny and glows with health...
When I am driving home I can see my sunflowers from a quarter mile away welcoming me back. I am always sad to see them go - but already looking forward to next years.
I am glad to hear the raspberry reviews. I am planning to put in a berry patch next year. I already have some patio blueberries and am planning to plant strawberries and raspberries.

I have been tarping them at night and it has worked so far. At this point I have harvested about 1/2 of them. We are due for lows in the low 20's in the next few days and my experience has been that when it gets that cold the tarp doesn't offer enough protection. I also use some large...
Just an update - the tree seems to be making it. I gave up all hope and quit watering it or even looking at it about 3 weeks ago. It was totally brown and crunchy. Tonight I noticed lots of new green leaves on it. I really can't believe it is alive and getting new leaves. Unfortunately it's...
I have 23 cantaloupes that are just shy of being ripe. Freezing nights have arrived. Can I pick the cantaloupe and let them rippen in the house?
Thanks - Deena
Thank you caring about my poor Suzie Q.
I have been out looking for her. Checked in the barn and out in the pasture. I do have some new cows in the pasture but the usually leave the kitties alone. I don't know what could have gotten her. I generally don't have much of a predator problem...

Suzie supervising the irrigating. Unfortunately Suzie has been missing for about a week now. I am hoping she still makes it home. Irrigating this past weekend was very lonely without her.

I am expecting my first freeze tonight and again tomorrow - then a few more weeks of mild evenings. I am trying to figure out maximum coverage of my garden for tonight to prevent freezing. Definately the tomatos, peppers and eggplants, hopefully some squash, cukes, melons, etc. I have been...
