I'm going to make my own carrot 'tapes' this year which I read about -- strips of newspaper; put dabs of water/flour mixture at proper spacing; and, putting a seed on each dab. I didn't grow many carrots last year, but they did turn out very well. This year, I'm going to grow a large area of...

With my recent Jung Seed order (www.jungseed.com) I ordered 60 ft. of trellis netting which they call 'tomato trellis.' I'm going to use this to vertical grow pole beans and cucumbers. Using different sections of backyard chain-link fence, I'm going to grow cantaloupe, butternut squash, and...

I plan on growing 'King of the Garden' pole lima beans (from Baker Creek.) I would appreciate everyones' methods for freezing these beans.

I always grow my onions from sets. This upcoming summer, I'm going to grow a 3' x 12' section of the garden in whole yellow onions. TIP I learned from one of the gardening secrets books I've been reading. Keep a bag of onion sets in the fridge; and, when you have some free areas, plant some...

Like many others, I got the tomato seeds from WinterSown. In order that they do not cross pollinate (so we can save seeds for another year) how should these plants be handled? Should they be planted individually in pots and placed around the yard far away from each other and the main tomato...

I'm going to try growing pumpkins for the first time this coming summer, and I'm going to try the 'Spirit' seeds as they, supposedly, have shorter vines -- 4-5 feet. I'm going to keep a keen out for those squash borers!!!!

I have always caged my tomato plants, but I've been reading a lot about staking.

I'm waiting for the Baker Creek Heirloom catalog to come. Another one that sells only Heirloom, open-pollinated, seeds is www.victoryseeds.com.

Depending on the size of the greenhouse, if you put down a concrete floor, your property taxes will go UP just like with a backyard shed!

This year, I'm buying Open-Pollinated seeds so I can start saving my own seeds.

I have tons of gardening books; however, my favorite is 'Crockett's Victory Garden, 1977, by James Underwood Crockett (companion to the old PBS TV series, "Victory Garden.")

I recently learned about the herb, BORAGE, from a book I recently got at the library. It has star-shaped blue flowers that attract bees which helps with pollinating nearby plants. It's recommended to plant these herbs near beans, tomato plants, squash, and strawberries. It also said that it...

When I plant bush beans of any sort, I always use a little stool in the garden to harvest them rather than end up with a backache. In the future, I'm growing pole beans!

Besides trying Swiss Chard this year, I'm also going to try my hand at Bok Choi.

I have a question about SAVING seeds. I usually buy packets of seeds or plants for my garden; but, I want to start getting into the habit of saving my own seeds to grow the next year. However, I've heard/read that hybrid seeds won't work. Can someone tell me what kind of seeds I need to buy...

I live in a suburb of Minneapolis, and I had a wonderful harvest from my backyard vegetable garden last year. I had corn, tomatoes , cucumbers, carrots, radishes, green peppers, broccoli, bush green beans, bush yellow wax beans, zucchini, peas, and even okra. I've already made my garden area...
