Here in Georgia, near Atlanta, we have had two Japanese maples for about 10 years. They have done very well and grown and seemed to be happy. Last year our neighbors dut many trees which made me happy because it opened up new areas to vegetable gardening. One of the Japanese maples ended up...
Hello,
My neighbor just brought me about 25 pounds of cucumbers, most of which are very big to make pickles or whatever with. She had been gone a few days and was overrun with them. So she shared. Do you have any ideas for how I can use the ones that have great big seeds? I guess I can just...
Yesterday morning we dug the first of our potatoes. Just enough new potatoes for dinner last night and to cook in with some green beans that a friend brought from her garden. They are Rose Golds and they are delicious. I can't wait to get some more. We did not hill them up enough. Neither...

My English peas have just about played out but...

I have two pear trees that have lots of pears on them considering their size. They look like they are very close to being ready to pick. I tried today and a couple came off in my hand. When I cut them they were still hard and not very sweet. How can you tell when they are ripe. Last year...
