Oh my goodness! Thank you!

Congrats, Carol!

I just saw your picture so went to drag out the one I took a couple weeks ago of a snowbird. It was -30F, and we were watching the birds, wondering why they didn't go get warm somewhere. This one did.

What do you mean by underground? Like greenhouses that are underground? That's something I've not heard of if that's what you mean, but sure sounds neat!

Roy is one of our favorites. Hubby plays guitar and sings for gigs now and then. I'll sing along on some, but he's got at least 6 of Roy's songs he does.

I ditto this whole post.

Some here in Wisconsin have them, but they are few and far between and usually very small. The problem is the lack of sun in the winter, as well as the cold. We're thinking of going solar on our home, and that's a huge consideration, so we will tie into the grid against our wishes, but there...

It won't stop snowing.

We like to freeze tomatoes for chili and spaghetti sauce and not only would that save $$ but oh my goodness so much better! We're old so may not pay for that grow light in the long run, but it is going to be fun to try!

Good to know. That means I'm going to win! I bought a grow light and just planted four tomatoes to grow solely indoors. We can grow anything out here, just not tomatoes as the blight is horrendous. So this year, I'm going to try this. Hubby thinks he'll beat me and is trying some in the...

Thank you for the follow! Gotcha back! :)

To try to grow tomatoes in the house, totally. We can't beat blight in the 10 years we've been out here, so this year, a few days ago, my grow light arrived. I'm going to try growing tomatoes solely indoors. Do not even try suggesting anything for blight, as we did it all. Even the disease...

I think @heirloomgal has the best idea for us: get/build a greenhouse. I would like a small one anyway for growing my own annual flowers. In lieu of that for the coming year, I'm going to find a couple of those blight-resistant varieties @Decoy1 mentioned. We'll test by growing and leaving a...

Thank you! Very helpful!

It's both airborne and can be in the soil, thus the reason for the new soil and mulch. We've honestly tried everything, but it's clear that new pots, soil, and mulch have nothing to do with preventing it, at least in our case this year. It's definitely airborne here. We could use a...

I looked here for any suggestions, then googled it. Google names these supposedly popular types of blight-resistant tomatoes, yet I've never heard of them: Defiant, Mountain Magic, Jasper, and Legend. Has anyone had experience with these or know of others? I need to order some in the coming...

Hiya, and welcome. I'm sort of new too. :)

We did Google recipes last year and chose one that said "Easy Grape Jelly." It wasn't easy getting all those skins off, that's for sure! But we'll just try to find a different one this year, I guess. Thanks for the tip on Alton Brown. I usually wind up at All Recipes dot com.

Hi! :frow If you're on BYC, then we've already met. If not, I'm glad to meet new folks! I've been working on getting more native plants growing down by our creek. We've also got a small orchard of fruit trees, like peach, plum, and apple, where the property they're on, we grow wildflowers...
