I defrosted my roasted tomatoes and peppers and made my salsa. When I went to canning them I ran out of lids. My husband checked at 3 places and nothing. Fourth place had them for $5.99 for 12 which I refused to pay that much.
Ordered them from Amazon and won't be here till Sept. 8-12...
I want to try grow bags to grow my zucchini in since I don't have much ground space. The Gurney catalog says to use a 20 gallon size one for zucchini. I got them and they seem huge! They are slightly bigger than my black nursery tree containers.
I have tried googling it and seen some...
I’ve done research in grow lights and am still confused as to the necessity of color spectrum. The way I understand it is the color is needed for flowering and fruiting. Since I’m only growing starts I figured white LED shop lights would work.
Can I use LED shop lights?
I have found some FREE tomato cages that are 5' by 18" diameter on Craigslist. Should I get them? Anyone have good results growing tomatoes in them? They are made out of the concrete rebar panels.
Thanks

Yesterday my hen laid an egg and I found her up in the roost with a prolapse. Her eggs have always been normal size and it appeared that she started bleeding after she left the next box.
I placed her in a tub of warm water with epsom salts and gently pushed it back in. It wouldn't stay in...
This fall I want to plant some fava beans as a cover crop to build up nitrogen in my soil.
Does anyone have some to give or sell to me?
Baker Creek is out of stock and I hate to pay as much in shipping as for the seeds in other sites. If you know of a site besides Baker Creek that offers free...
First time I've had an EE go broody on me. I have been removing her from the nest box 3 times a day so she can eat and drink.
In the past I've separated a broody hen away from the nest box 24/7. But it is a pain to put wire around a section of the coop and give her her own food and water...
I do not like lowering the rack with the jars into the boiling water. It scares me! Last time I made salsa I lowered it very slowly but I accidently tipped it a little and I heard the jars tap. Well sure enough the bottom of one jar broke off. This has happened before but I just continue the...
I plan to sheet mulch my daughter's small front yard. I've already planted hydrangeas against the foundation and only have about 3-4 feet to sheet mulch and plant between the hydrangeas and the sidewalk.
I've never done it and am a little sceptical about it. I understand that you can put...
I'm thinking of getting a dark chocolate egg layer. Welsummer is not available but the Moran is. Anyone have experience raising them?
Does it really take 8-9 months for them to start laying?

I have some grow lights that are 4' and I'm now looking into heat mats. I've only checked on amazon and there are 2 basic ones. One is $9.99 and the other is $11.39. They both have good reviews and some awful ones. Some recommend getting the thermostat controller but I really don't want to...
I have a tomato from Fredricks called Tomato Tye Dye. It is a beautiful color, just the size I like them, and is delicious! It is not the Berkely Tie Dye. Tag says it's a hybrid. I've googled saving seeds from hybrid tomato and they say it will not be true to the parent if it is a first...
