    Buying plants over net

    If he understands its starts and is willing to wait it might be worthwhile. What about a butterfly seed mix? Might be more cost friendly and give a similar result.

    When tomatoes go bad!!

    Works good too for zucchini, yellow squash, and cucumber seedlings. The lumber is pieces I was going to use to build my raised bed frames with but since its gotten cold again I've opted to wait to build it and use the wood to get the seeds close to the light. There is a 10"x20" seed mat they...

    When tomatoes go bad!!

    Thank you!! It was a spur of the moment idea. Best part too is it all collapses down for easy storage till next season too. So far so good. That's what I did with mine. Haven't used it in a while since my setter has settled down in the house and can be left out at night. So it was just...

    What are you canning now?

    Because I always forget to include the time to get it up to temperature be it water bath or pressure canning. I only seem to remember that I need __ minutes to actually process the canning jars. This is all the chicken carcasses I had from my bulk chicken purchases. Plus the appropriate...

    What are you canning now?

    For us here in Michigan yes pressure can and its a weighted rocker. I do 25 minutes for pints and 30 minutes for quarts since we're so close to 1000ft here. Carcasses and veggies go in the pot then I add water till its about a couple inches over the everything. Float the fresh herbs and let...

    What are you canning now?

    Chicken stock starts tomorrow. Its always a 2 day process when I make it. 1 day to is simmer and straining, then it sits overnight in the fridge to cool and let the fat collect so I can skim it off. Celery, carrots, water, rosemary, thyme, sage, bay leaf, and carcasses to simmer to make dark...

    Cucumber seed help

    I'm usually planting mid May in my neck of the woods. I have a seed mat on order so hopefully it comes in time to meet this timeline. We cannot buy any gardening supplies at retail stores right now so I'm hoping Amazon comes through with a fast-ish delivery for me.

    When tomatoes go bad!!

    Those are really good ideas. I can easily run a layer or 2 of aluminum foil around them to help keep the light more balanced. I have a ready supply of miscellaneous pots and have some potting soil on hand if I need to pot up. When I got them I anticipated I would have to pot up 1x because I got...

    When tomatoes go bad!!

    My bad tomatoes! They are doing 30 days in the hole!! Seriously though I bought them last week on an impulse purchase because I was afraid I wouldn't be able to get them when things warmed up. I think more people are going to garden this year so I figured I'd grab them because I saw them...

    Cucumber seed help

    I'm in 5b so was hoping to get a jump on them is all. I'm so used to having them started so I figured I'd give it a whirl.

    Cucumber seed help

    Hey; Usually I buy started cucumber plants because I only need a couple of them (literally I buy a 4 pack and that's plenty of cucumbers for us). So given the times I'm forced to start them from seeds this year and its Marketmore 76. Do they need to be kept warm to get germination? They'll...

    What are you canning now?

    Bought 14 birds whole for 99 cents a pound. No limit on them. They had whole birds and for a little more money you could buy whole bird pieces. Everybody was buying the pre cut birds, and looked at the whole birds and passed on them. Sell by date was the 4/6 and nobody was buying them. So I...

    What are you canning now?

    Here in Michigan our local nursery is closed. Hoping it opens in time since its a family owned business but we'll see. They were doing some curb side pick ups of seed potatoes, asparagus, and a few other things. Hoping they can open up and get something of a season so they are not taking a...

    The Russian netted variety is crazy! I'm very curious to see how it does for you.
