Once again the red mulch film has made a huge difference for me. My Sweet Millions didn't get planted in the plastic and are only 6 inches high at the most. All of my other tomatoes are HUGE and have tons of fruit! Maybe it's the answer for people who live in cooler climates/shorter growing...

I love lemon cukes!! My husband didn't want me to plant them again this year tho because he said he could never tell when they were ripe! :lol: They are so good though - and I always bought those seeds at Wal-Mart.

I like that area. It's close enough to the cities for convenience but far enough away not to be in hustle and bustle. I have family in New York Mills, Wadena, East Bethel, North Branch and Golden Valley/Mpls. I'm glad your family has joined gardening and you've joined TEG!

Welcome Sarah! What part of MN are you in? I have relatives all over MN! I'm from there originally but moved to Wisconsin when I got married.

I love hydrangeas! That last picture is especially beautiful!

Beautiful garden - thanks for sharing!

This is by no means old, but I have really enjoyed Deceptively Delicious by Jessica Seinfeld. I love the idea of putting veggies into everything. The chocolate chip cookies with garbanzo beans are super yummy! Especially if you use whole wheat flour. Otherwise, I would suggest Carla Emory...

YUMMMMM!!!!! :weee

Wow - it looks so healthy! It's so windy by me that mine are always small or beat up.

They are either pansies or violets. I think the difference is just that violets are smaller and perrenial.

I like to steam them for a few minutes (4 - 6 minutes) til they are soft but not soggy and I add butter, salt and sometimes garlic. If you pick some that are really thick or seem a bit tough/woody you can use a potato peeler to take just the dark green layer off the stem. They arealso good on...

Manure Happens for BYC - Chicken Poop Happens. (I like Plants Happen too)

I wish I had random acts of asparagus happening at my place! Those little ones sprouting up would not have lasted past my lunch - they look delicious! As long as they are not super thick or 'woody' I would say they are edible.

I can't wait to see the finished products. Drakemaiden, I'm anxious to see what designs you come up with!

It has been very wet but I shouldn't complain - I know we don't have it quite as bad as much of the state does.

I love Mother Earth News. I think I will look for Organic Gardening, it sounds interesting.

I'm near Hudson, which is just across the river from Minnesota.

I couldn't agree more!

I like the sage advice idea. Don't waste thyme looking for sage advice - Go to TheEasyGarden.com When I come in from being in the garden my husband says (affectionately) that I smell like an earthworm. Makes me smile every time! Maybe someone could work with that. "I'm married to an earthworm"

Black From Tula is the black I planted this year. Do you know how they compare to Black Krim?
