    A Seed Saver's Garden

The next spring i couldn't tell where the dug roots use to reside as every little broken off piece made a new plant. I feel confident that next spring i will have a Lot more plants. Mine is in a...

    A Seed Saver's Garden

    Horseradish is invasive in Alaska; just like any where else! I dug out all my plants last fall but have zero confidence that “it is gone”. Even the smallest root bits grow back next year.

    Christmas gift lists, what tools do you want for gifts, but are too cheap, like me, to pay for!

    I accomplish seed spacing via “dibble boards” that i make from stair treads and joiner dowells. I’ll take a picture of one tomorrow; they would make great gifts being homemade and all! The tool i want most is a 42ft. Grand Banks trawler yacht; so i can harvest my own Kelp!🤭

    Remembering you telling us “the demi glace was to die for” makes me think of poor Peppas! Quite possibly a good option to help you remember the foul fowl fondly?😊
