    Missing my garden

    Stop it. I would not run past my husband... but it is a long, 10 hour drive and I will have to stretch my legs a bit so I might just walk out back to do it. LOL

    Missing my garden

    The wedding is next month, the shower and fittings are going on now. And yes it really is all about tomatoes. I ate one before I left and now they are all ripening without me. LOL I am heading home Sunday so I can get back to it.

    Missing my garden

    My son is getting married next month in Ohio and I came up this week for the bridal shower. I pick and planted everything I could and set up a watering system while I was gone but I am really missing it. I guess my new beans are coming up and my husband said I have black cherry tomatoes there...

    Theresa's garden

    Really that is too cool. Mine are bamboo that they painted green. I would have purchase them if there were unpainted and now they make a mess until the green comes off.

    Theresa's garden

    I have the same green bamboo poles in my garden. Why do they paint them? It gets all over my hands when I touch them and it comes off over time. A complete waste of money and resources. The eggplant looks awesome. Mine are much smaller. I just planted them yesterday.

    how to properly prune tomatoes

    This is the first year I am pruning my tomatoes and it is only the indeterminate ones that I am training on a string instead of caging. Even with that I have 2-3 main stems on my cherries that I am tying up. The reason I am even bothering is because we have such a long growing season here. In...

    Bay Laurel in Zone 8a

    I have wanted a Bay Laurel tree for years but when we live in Ohio it wasn't very practical. I finally ordered one and it has arrived but I am not sure if I should pot it or plant outside. We are in the border of Zone 8a/8b so it is solid zone 8. Are there still special care it will need?

    Hot and Spicy Canned or Pickled Pickles (or anything else canned for that matter)

    I have added that too my spicy kosher dill for years. I always do one batch as spicy for when I am in that mood. I cut jalapeño slices and add extra garlic. They are wonderful and I can't wait to do some. Great minds think a like.

    yellowing leaves on tomato plant

    A tomato that big would do better in a 5 gal container but the bigger a tomato is the easier it is to have transplant shock. I just lost one that I that I should have transplanted sooner and didn't. The biggest challenge you will have is keeping in watered and that why a 5 gal container would...
