Alpine strawberries don't really send out runners like the other types....at least from what I've observed. They don't spread as much, but their fruit is very small as lesa mentioned (yet sweet and flavorful!). I've heard they can reseed themselves well. I've had good luck with alpine...

Howdy Steve-o :frow hmmm....I haven't gotten the Jung catalog yet....:/ Kinda surprising since they seemed to send me catalogs all summer and fall (when I'm not interested!). I have one thing I know for sure that I want to reorder from them...some sweet corn seed! I have to say my all-time...

I've gotten some of the seed catalogs already...lovin' it! Now the hard part....deciding what to get.....or what I actually need.....:rolleyes: I got the Baker Creek catalog for the 1st time this year...awesome selection and great pics! For some reason I got a Burpee catalog...it's been years...

Best of luck with your spuds, sonjab! I've grown red potatoes (not sure what variety) for the last two years and I've had great luck with them so far....very easy crop for me....and delicious too! All I do is plant, keep them watered and hilled up, and watch out for potato beetles till the...

Hey...how did I miss this thread?!? I'm going on my second year as a certified Master Gardener! (well I have the title but I dunno if it's necessarily true :P) I would definitely recommend the program to anyone that is interested. It's a great way to expand your gardening knowledge, support...

This year I planted Mammoth Russian Sunflowers for the chickens...they grew well and the chickens liked them. I set a few heads at a time in the run, shucked off a few seeds to get them started, and they figured things out quick. ;) I also planted extra cabbage for the chickens...they love it...

:yuckyuck Haha! Me too!

Beautiful flowers journey! Thanks for sharing....I'll have to post some of my pics too once things wind down (if ever :P )....

First, :welcome Is this plant wild or is it something that was planted as an ornamental? The leaves remind me of Fragrant Sumac (Rhus aromatica). I've seen it around here occasionally in MI planted as a spreading groundcover.

I have 4 tomatillo plants that I bought on a whim this year...they started producing recently, and so far we've just been chopping them up and adding them in w/ fresh salsa....mmm. :) If I get enough ripening at once I would like to try a small batch of salsa verde...

Looks great rebbetzin! :thumbsup That's funny you found a 'bad egg' in your embossing stamps. :P Is the soap very hard / time consuming to make?

CONGRATS! :ya Way to go on Etsy....your pics are very nice and it all looks good! I should look into that for selling some art and painted eggs.....how do you like Etsy and selling online overall? Any tips or advice?

I vote zinnias too....1st thing that came to mind when I saw them. I guess sunflower could be a possibility like others said...?

Sorry to hear the news.... :/ I'm having the same problems w/ the borers on my zucchini and squash plants. They REALLY did a number on the zucchini plants (store-bought plants)...I don't think there is really much left of their main stalks. I was about to rip them out a couple weeks ago, but...

Ohhh purslane....it's all over my garden too. And this year, so are the ground cherries....they reseeded themselves WELL! Unfortunately it appears the mice are finding the fallen fruits before I can... Lets see....lunch today included this stuff from the garden: -grilled zucchini and pattypan...

Welcome tuffy! :welcome I'm kinda wondering about this too....I have 2 grape tomatoes in the garden and one of them has splitting/cracking fruits. They are literally right next to each other....the fruit on the 1st one is perfect, and the fruits on the 2nd one all seem to crack/split...? All...

Man Steve, you have your spuds down to a science! :cool: I harvested all my potatoes this weekend...they're all some red variety. I garden at the house of a couple in my church, and they let me plant whatever I want from their leftover seed potatoes...the potatoes are red but I dunno what kind...

Good link! That says a pinch of baking soda removes biterness....maybe THAT'S the secret to cooking w/ them. :D

What a good idea vfem. Hope all goes well...we'd love to see pics!
