Wow that was very nice of him to do that. I e-mailed him a few times to ask what varieties he recommends and he's always very helpful. I'm hopeful these apple trees will do well on my property in NC. I'm near Greensboro, I know Century Farms is in Reidsville which is north where I am. I bet...

JimWWhite, :) I'm glad you mentioned Century Farms in NC, I'm going to make an order for some trees for planting this fall. Boy does he have a lot of interesting varieties like you said that cant be found in stores. I'm liking Grimes Golden and Virginia Beauty, I'll probably buy a third apple...

Looks great baymule!! ;) Hey as long as it keeps the plant from getting frost that's all that matters. Who needs professionally made greenhouses! :lol: this works just as well, maybe better. Plus it sure saves money from having to order one. I've always liked being able to build one instead...

That's a Huge Sweet Potato !! :ep You should take it to the fair, if the season isn't over yet. I have yet to pick my sweet potatoes.

Very Funny cartoon, Steve! :lol: Thanks for posting it

I'm going to plant Heritage/Antique Apples this fall. Their varieties like Grimes Golden and Virginia Beauty. These are apple from our ancestors long ago. I like the fact that theirs a part of history behind all of these varieties.

I hope everyone made out well after this storm :hugs !! The biggest thing here was the high wind!! It knocked down all my collard greens but thankfully none broke I just had to pick them back up and stake them. Power was lost too for a few hours. I'm sure it could of been a lot worse than it...

Thanks for that tip catjac! ;) Does charcoal contain anti-mold properties in it? Will BBQ charcoal work.

I just received a box of Allium and Tulip bulbs I ordered from Breck's :ya . I won't be planting these until around Thanksgiving in NC. I had to think of a good place to keep them until then for a month. I thought of the refridgerator since its nice and cool in there. I know your not suppose...

Nope its Obama being re-elected we should be scared about :lol: .

I canned a few buckets full of figs a few weeks ago. It almost seemed never ending with so much Fig Jam. I made it natural with just a little sugar and lemon juice, no pectin here.

Marshallsmyth, I highly recommend the Stihl Leaf Blowers. They are quite powerful, efficient on gas, not too loud when in use, and comfortable back strap. I've saved a while to be able to afford one. I'm going to use it this Fall on my property in NC. It will be great to use there because...

Thank you marshall !! ;) Hmmmm.... I must give those radish chips a thought, they sound interesting!

Here's an idea, You can roast the radishes. They will lose some of their color, but as they cook the heat will concentrate the radishes natural sugars and they wont taste spicy or "hot" anymore. For people who normally don't care for radishes will generally want to try the roasted radishes. So...
