    Taking a risk, planted Cauliflower this weekend

    Minn, with its Continental weather may not afford enough time. When it hits, the Arctic Steamroller will be merciless. I believe that cauliflower is a 90 plant, right? But you can eat the plant whether it heads or not, so why not?

    Can I plant grocery store horseradish?

    And everything Ive ever read about horseradish says to contain it - or plant it where you don't care if it spreads.

    Kazahk Melon

    I tried some Armenian Tiggers this year, and they were a disappointment. Small and pretty, but without any real flavor. Next season I will try some "Collective Farm Woman" melons, which I got from Sustainable Seed Co. I just love the name. In fact, I ended up with rather a lot of melon seed...

    Retired Truck Great Storage

    Clunker schmunker - there is nothing as esthetically pleasing as an old truck. Don't buy into the minimalist clap trap, talking yourself out of a bit of life's pleasure - drive that truck and smile.

    Why do you grow pumpkins?

    For the fun and food. Pumpkins are marrows or what we call, "winter squashes," and can be eaten like all their kin. Roast them and eat as a vegetable. Pumpkin soup is good, too. But I just like to bake them and eat, as is. The seeds can be roasted, too. Lori loves them with a dash of salt...
