I really want to dry some of my green onions and chives. I've never dried those and don't have a clue.

I watched the video by webcajun on planting carrots. If I go by his upload date in zone 8 he plants in November or late October. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QR1Hqcx2Hos&feature=plcp He harvests in March http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dw20ABUmRUk&feature=plcp But that is a lot of guessing...

I plan on planting broccoli, onion seeds for spring sets, chard, spinach, collards, kale, lettuce, spinach, carrots, brussell sprouts, and beets for our fall garden. I was wondering how and when you guys put your seeds in. I know that lettuce, spinach, and onion seeds will be direct sown, these...

I'm jealous. Those look so good.

Roasted and put in a lasagna with other veggies. Found recipe at Better Homes and Gardens June or July issue last year. Used the no cook lasagna noodles. Roasting them in olive oil is the key.

I did just notice that the yellowing ones have a plastic liner and the others have fabric. May be I need more holes in that plastic. Maybe it's not draining as well as the other beds?

Take a look at these chadwick cherry tomatoes. I started them from seed. It is a new raised bed with new compost/vermiculite/peat moss mixture. I did add some compost tea that may have sat too long. BUT my other tomatoes look fine. I have drip irrigation and don't water overhead, except when it...

Here are some today pictures of my little raised bed garden. I'm concerned about my chadwick cherry tomatoes, they look skinny and the bottom leaves are yellowing. This is new composed mixed with peat moss and vermiculite. I did put that compost tea on there and I'm wondering if it wasn't too...

We have 3 pear trees in our yard that are considered a hard canning pear. They just don't get sweet or soft. Only way to eat them is to grind them up for "pear relish" or can them in simple syrup. You can also dry them, but good luck cutting the rocks in uniform thickness, lol.

RickF: My hen only accepts chicks if she is broody and has been setting for at least 3 weeks. I have tried as soon as she went broody and it did not work and I have tried when she wasn't broody at all, I ended up with some dead chicks. You might want to check out BackYardChickens.com. That's...

This 2 week fermented stuff definitely smells like .................... sewage. That is why I've neglected to bail it out and haul it somewhere away from my house. It's much more pleasant to ignore it.

so lucky, it really is that simple. http://crazyaboutcompost.com/2011/07/01/compost-tea-demonstration-by-praxxus-video/

Well I let it fill with rain. It's in an area that's hard to dump out, that's my excuse, lol. I guess I need to rethink the 35 gallon trash can. I just can't use it all in one feeding. What does it mean with the tea becomes anerobic? I know that means without oxygen, but does that hurt the...

Okay I made some compost tea. I was doing really well with it, but I kind of forgot to dump the 35 gallon trashcan and it rained a lot. I just stirred it up and added it to the garden. Some of my plants aren't doing well, mostly it's the young ones. Is there a rule of thumb on how long I can...

Could have been anything to stress her or her heart just gave out. It happens a lot in the broiler chicken industry. Sorry I don't have any better answers. If she had coccidia it wouldn't have been this fast. With no loose feathers on the ground and no suspicious activity before death, then I...

Spread more waste hay from the goats feeder so I won't need a weedeater or snake boots to walk the paths in my raised bed garden.

Why I garden? Family tradition, pride in my work, and enjoying the "fruits" of my labor.

That garden trough with the nasturtiums is so beautiful. I really need to remember to look for some seeds for my garden. Everything looks to good and looks like you are enjoying some harvests.

All the thinnings were feed to our horses. Other thinnings I do I feed equally to the horses and goats. I try not be be wasteful, because it just kills me to rip out a perfectly good plant (I buy corn seed every year) and then throw it away? Not me. When the corn matures, we cut the stalk and...
