Title is kind of self explanatory, where do you get your seed potatoes from?
I've had some luck getting them from local stores but varieties and amounts are not always the best. I've been looking online, particularly at woodprairie.com but I'm always hesitant to buy from a new site. So any...
What vegetables or types aren't you growing next year and why?
I'm not going to be growing Chocolate Strips (type of tomatoes) they don't produce well and the few they did went bad very fast. We will see what else doesn't make the list when I do my big and of the year harvest.
Share your harvest pictures and tell us how different types are doing!
Mortgage Lifter- Big Tomatoes, but they aren't ripe yet
Chocolate Stripes- Maybe ripe I'm trying to figure it out:
Riesentraube which translates to "giant bunch of grapes"- The 3 to the left:

These are my volunteer pumpkins from an pumpkin we threw out:

These are called tiger-lilys or Ditch-lilys:
Some of my tomato plants right above ground level have about an inch of brown, sick looking stalk. And all of them with it look sickly, like they need water. I'll get some pictures later, but it's raining right now.
I'm debating where to put my marigolds, I can make a little bit of extra space for them but I'd rather mix them with something. I can throw them in with various vining plants, tomatoes, or under corn mixed in with vining plants. Thoughts?
And came home with 2 tomato plants, which I really don't need but they where only $1 a piece, their heirlooms, and they have pretty names of Rose and Pink Firefly! I also bought 2 iris plants one yellow, the other light violet at only $5 a piece. But now I need to get them all planted.

My mom has been having a handyman come out and do some work in the house and today he was removing the remains of a...
This is my garden update from 5-19 (I posted it on my blog then).
I got some work done it the garden, not the weeding which still needs done, but I put up some fencing (I was wrong about being completely out, I found more scrapes) here it is:
Some of my volunteers that have sprouted up, the...
Me and my mom have set up a seedlings, seedlings to be, and plant table, being somewhat protected it lets them get use to weather. Unfortunately with all the rain everyday at least once I'm dumping out water, but you can see some of that water in the picture:
I'll do a full garden update soon. :)
I finished fencing the flower bed/smallest bed last week (picture from today):
I started planning my garden Saturday and came to the conclusion that the space I have set up to plant is not enough for all the seeds I bought/ what I want to grow. So I went out and looked at my old big bed and...
The Pellets before water:
Pellets after water:
Planted with Burpee's George's favorite Blend (most of it) and 6 of them with Ferry-Morse's De Cicco, but those seeds are a few years old and here it all is setting in the window:
