    About currants

    A long time ago when I was a child I went to visit a family and they gave me a jar of currant jelly to take home with me. I don't know what kind of currant it was but the color was pinkish. It was delicious and I thought to plant one. Could anyone tell me what type of currant it could be? Arklady

    I think that's what I do. I think I plant too late, Like I start my tomatoes when the plants come out and then I don't get many. Possibly I need to start them earlier? More like all of my plants earlier including my flowers and everything else. Perhaps that has been my problem all along! Hmmmm...

    Interesting Potato Growing Kit

    I know it would seem like a mess but if you are careful you could probably just dig out the potatoes and scoop out the material for the garden as composted material.

    Garlic!!??

    One of the things I want to plant is have a garlic bed. I believe you plant several and they can be reseeded if you have the right ones. But finding the right ones is tough. Any ideas? I am hoping to keep propagating them so I don't have to keep buying. Arklady

    Soil prep......

    Oooo I had forgotten that method. I had just read about that this summer and I printed out the article. Yes that is an option I had thought about for my tomato problem. I lose them because I forget to water, which is one of my down falls, but I figure if I can. I really want to learn to make...
