I'm particularly proud of the corn, its mine. I freeze 200 ears every year. The rest is mostly my granny's. We do share, my granny is 87 years young and can't work it anymore, but we do it for her. We can over 150 quarts of green beans and more than 200 quarts of tomatoes ever year. That's the...

I need to dry and store my chives. Its my first time drying herbs for storing. Any tips? My chives are from hoody, so they are extra special.

:yuckyuck

I have never showed y'all the big family garden. Here is my husband thinning the corn. Behind the cow panels is 32 tomato plants. The cow panels are green beans after that is butter beans, then corn, onions, cucumbers, squash, watermelon, a variety of peppers and the "old" onions going to...

That is a beautiful cabbage. I wish my son's would grow. Bonnie Plants gave the 3rd grade one to grow, and it's not doing well in our heat.

Chickpeas, pole beans, squash and zucchini This years bucket project, Global Buckets with peppers I grow these too, but these are all "grown up", lol

Updated picture of onions and shallots. Of course there are carrots, beets and lettuce on the other side.

We have a lot of hills and trees in my neck of the woods. I will try and get a good pic tonight. I love the moon. It's mysterious and beautiful, and because of the moon there is life on earth. :D

They were both from seeds. They are tiny little things, though very tall. They are the diameter of pencil lead, some are a little thicker. They taste really good. I just wanted to give them more growing room, but won't disturb them if they will fail. I can buy other onions to put out with the...

It's not a good picture, but we were shocked as we topped the hill coming home. BOOM big orange moon in the sky. It was lovely. I was sad that it was a long trip home and my house is way back in the woods. The woods were in the way to take another picture with my good camera. It looked bigger...

I was inspired by digitS' post on Bunching Onions and finally have a bed of them. The problem is, I have too many. Other than pulling some and drying them, can they be pulled and replanted like onion sets? http://www.theeasygarden.com/forum/viewtopic.php?id=29478 I have burpee's Onion...

I used old Styrofoam egg cartons some people had donated to me for my eggs. I knew how many plants I wanted and then planted a few extra. I put 3 seeds in each egg spot and then cut the weaker ones out. All my extra plants went to family, friends and co-workers. In that order. I could have...

We save green beans, okra, and tomato every year. Before I was born, they saved cotton seeds after it was ginned. I am incredibly thankful as to not to have to pick cotton. There is only one store in our small town my granny will buy her other plants or seeds from. A family friend gives us...

My work hatched some broiler chicks last year and they needed a home after the class was done. I took them and gave them to my broody. She, of course, had them walking every where to eat and boy did they eat. So they were very healthy and I didn't process until week 11. There was one who was...

I put my tomatoes in the sink and put the stopper in. I pour boiling water over and blanch the skins off. I peel them and cut the core out (stem end). I then cut them into chunks into my boiler right on the stove set on medium heat. When I have them all cut up I turn the heat to medium high and...

Sometimes I read things all wrong. I planted cilantro, but didn't realize what succession planting was. This year I'm prepared. I started a few in a egg carton and when I planted my little plants I also threw in a few seeds and as I harvest cilantro I'll put a few more seeds to have non-bolted...

Just to let you know I can my beans differently than anyone I've ever met. I live in an area where gardens are a must and everyone cans to store for the winter months. My way of canning is NOT recommended by the USDA but my beans are delicious and I have been eating them this way all my life. I...

Do I go ahead and plant a couple of rows of carrots down the middle of my tomatoes now or later? I'm going to put in a couple of basil on the ends. I have a few in my lettuce bed that might make carrots before the heat sets in. I made 2 "global buckets" this weekend and planted two pepper...

I have posted pictures here for 2010 and 2011 when I started gardening in raised beds. So here is my 2012 Spring Pictures!!! The ugly Sweetgum tree is gone, thank goodness! I have more sun and won't have anymore of those sweetgum balls to twist my ankle on! I have several new boxes and found a...

I have several baskets and planters. I want to add some color to my back porch which is covered (has a roof). I know ferns will grow, but what flowers will do well in shade in a pot? This picture is from last year on my back porch where I harden off my seedlings. It does get a few hours of sun...
