I am getting 'yes/ no' answers. It is not in the canning book. but if I can can collards... ? I make kraut each year, but I would like some non fermented cabbage for soup and stew and things. ..and I have a boat load of them. Gotta get a goat. or plant less next year. I could plant less...

I never had difficulty with Borage before, and I can not figure what could possibly have changed, but Germination is less than 50% and it's leaves are pale, almost white. It is getting the same fertilizer as everything else- same water conditions... It used to get huge, self seed and flower...

I do not grow corn usually... but something snapped in my brain and this year I did. I followed the instructions (I know, weird, right?) and the six rows six inches apart are.. frustrating to weed. I am not the flexible, well balanced person I used to be. Nubian more than nubile. When I get it...

SO... humph. I suppose they are eating voles. I have a horse fence surrounding the garden. There is ground cloth on that fence to keep animals from seeing what is in the little paddock (My chickens and my garden) And the garden has a little fence around it (because of the chickens.) I have...

...and then I found another batch of seeds.:th AHHHHHHHH! no room for the golden beans, and I need them for the three bean salad! I wonder what hubby will say when I tell him that I need more tilling done? ...and if he is going to break more ground just for beans... I might as well go get more...

I know one should not mix sweet melons with gourds and squash, and that yellow corn pollen with make your white corn kernels yellow... but will my tough kernel pop corn make my soft bantam corn tough, or my pop corn integument soft? :hu thanks in advance. I am so far behind I think I am getting...

Garden number one has the bunny barricade surrounding it and a trench circling the entire garden...Garden number two has just the bunny barricade (Groundcloth stapled down and then bent up at 90 degree angle) We did vapam the entire thing, so anyone in the garden when it went under plastic...

I was potting my Seedlings up into four inch pots today and I was Thinking that I must be forgetting something important because usually I am way behind and I seem to be right on schedule... then it occurred to me. I am a whole year behind. I only look like I am in front.

I plan on doing a narrow space (we will call it a window) In my son's blacksmith shed (we will eventually call it my pottery shed) With these blue bottles just like this but with mortar between them. What-chew gonna do? (I keep buying cases of that beer and telling my husband,"Drink this, I need...

I am sure you all have seen this, but it's still a great idea. The bottom can be opened up before planting.

I was looking at how someone made seed tapes on Pinterest. They cut strips of newspaper and the used Elmer's glue and glued on a seed. That seems...like... it, geesh, it just seems wrong. Wouldn't the moisture from the glue initiate germination? and if not, then would a carrot seed have the...

The rats are biting the spaghetti tubes to either drink, or to just mess with me...or maybe it is fun~ like eating licorice whips, I don't know. All I know is that I am so very tired of it. They seem to have figured out the spring traps and avoid them. Also, I have to spring them each day to...

Do any of you in Florida grow raspberries? I have seen some that promise to grow in Florida. but I dunno... promises promises. they are at all of the garden centers, but they will sell what's shipped to them. That isn't always what is zone appropriate. I am in north central Florida around the...

Not sure where to post this. Fungus? pests I guess. I thought I could just ride them out. I can't. It smells like something crawled under the shed and died. Just as one stops smelling another crops up. Any ideas as to how to get rid of these things? Unfortunately some of them are under a shed...
