Good to know these both varieties will be on my wish list. This year I had to stick with what I could find and make the most of the situation. Still waiting on my online order......but I was able to get some back ups so I'll be ok.

I had the same experience with small seed potatoes from the Maine Potato Lady but I was ordering purple varieties from her too. I chalked up the small seed potatoes to the varieties. Any of the online orders I do I'm after something specific or unique to try. If I was going to grow for...

We got busy and missed some pickings and had the same experience as you. The beans were bigger and tougher. Still edible but not nearly as good. So I started picking anything that looked 90ish percent of the mature size and never had a problem to be sure I didn't let them go too long. I...

Thank you! I've found that training them to grow laterally as much as possible on the trellis really helps with production.

Us too. Even the Mom/Pop nursery does this. They do have some pre-weighed in brown paper bags on some varieties so people can just grab what they want if its a popular variety. Otherwise its just a bin and a scoop. I've had really good luck with the Maine Potato Lady for online orders. I've...

Typically I do but when the kids pick beans they all ended up in the same pile so it was hard to tell what was what. I know there are some varieties that come in both pole and bush but I haven't tried them. This year I'm sticking to what I could find at the box stores because shipping is so...

Those are some gorgeous koi!!!!!

I used to only grow pole beans because I could get a ridiculous amount of beans given the amount of space they take up. Problem was canning them I felt like I was firing up the pressure canning so many times. It gets old FAST! So now this year I'm doing both. I've had this strategy in mind...

We played hearts, rummy, and Risk. I always like Axis and Allies too but I have no idea if its still around. Basically you took a country and tried to take over the world. Similar to Risk but each country had special abilities so they could build certain things faster to help replenish what...

That's how I know to play it

We're shut down except for essential people till the Monday after Easter. I think they'll extend it though

Things so far are good. Been busy with this whole pandemic thing but otherwise things are good. Last year focused on doing the front flower beds and went from a single row of orange day lilies that was contained by a walk way.....to keeping the walk way as a hard border and a cottage-ish bed...

I just ordered inoculate for my beans from them without any problems so far. I put the wrong zipcode in and they emailed me saying to call them. Talked to a rep on the phone it was straightened out and I've got an email saying my order was on its way.

I've bought Yellow Doll at the Farmers market but I've never tried to grow it. When I grew sugar babies I started them in peat pots, made a mulched mound for each peat pot and set them up in a cold frame. I put straw bales on 3 sides too to help insulate it and left the south side uncovered...

So I have a dead email account so I just opted to start over. I know its been a bit and add the loss of our friend in NY I just didn't want to be here. Add on life getting in the way I've finally got to the point I'm about getting back here. Anyway its good to be here. Glad to see some of...
