Seed catalog

All I buy from them are Cobra pole beans. I am afraid not to plant them. My freezer is so full of green beans that I am almost afraid TO PLANT them for 2017.

Osborne has those also.

Says that they are earlier than Blue Lake, "fast maturing."

I will check out Osborne Seed. Baker Creek catalog came today. There are 145 pages with nice big print and big pictures.

 

[Gardening with Rabbits]

Get this... several years ago , one of my neighbors had a bumper crop of apples. They called a food bank to offer them the apples. They said NO because they were home grown. So they cut down 5 apple trees since they were starting to produce more apples then they needed and giving to friends.

. A friend of ours has a few huge old apple trees and gave us a box. DS who is 17 got tired of waiting for people to make him an apple pie, so he found the apple peeler. He is a boy with a box of apples, an apple peeler, a recipe and an appetite. He has made 2 so far and the best apple pie ever.

I would have kept the apple trees for their spring flowers.

That's sad. I am part of the Alameda Backyard Growers group. Our mission is to give excess homegrown fruit to our local food bank. We even pick the fruit. I think last year we donated close to 10,000 pounds of fruit. This year we got a grant to buy fruit trees. People who wanted them were screened, got to chose which fruits they wanted from a list, given information on how to take care of their trees, and we planted them for them.

And for the apples that bring the deer at harvest time? You don't need any more reason to draw the deer to your place, Nyboy.

Fedco just sent an email saying their catalog wasn't ready and provided a link to a few new items you can read about on their site.

And yet, Fedco's graphics were completed in the ..

. 19th century.

They remind me of the "Books of Knowledge," I discovered after moving into a farm house when I was 6. Fedco is pragmatically whimsical and comic by comparison.
