Ooh la la! Check out those DAHLIAS! Niiiice. :rainbow-sun Going back to the whole stakes thing again....cwhit never did get his pole beans properly staked! The poor things are climbing up some little bamboo stakes....yeah, the ground was too hard and dry at the time to get my branches...

I think we're talking about different plants here...:P We're discussing "Garden Huckleberry" - an uncommon plant that you would grow in the vegetable garden. It is not a true huckleberry and it is in the nightshade family. The scientific name is Solanum melanocerasum. bills, it sounds like...

Yeah, in Sand Hill he says that "I tried growing this for years and wasted pounds of sugar before discovering the secret to edibility." Maybe the "secret" is to wait till they've lost their gloss? special cooking technique? I dunno... Well let us know how it goes! Sounds like a good...

I was looking thru my Sand Hill Preservation Center catalog today and read that they have "discovered the secret to edibility" with garden huckleberries....apparently they send their recipe free when you buy a packet of seed, or you can get it if you add 50 cents onto your order...? :idunno...

:thumbsup Amen! I wonder if the hornworms in the tomatoes count too....:P So with the millet, do you harvest and dry it just like the wheat? Do you have to harvest before it gets completely dry? And you save your own seed for that as well? Do the birds/critters bother the wheat at all in...

Cool. Thanks for the info Steve! I think next year I will be growing more flowers/everlastings and fewer veggies. My fam just can't keep up with all the produce! I'd like to see if I could possibly sell fresh flowers at a farmers market or *maybe* to a florist....we'll see what next year...

So you mainly use it for ornamental purposes and then for chicken purposes? :P You save your seed from year to year it sounds like...? I was thinking about growing some for ornamental use....kinda forgot that my chicks might like some too.... :rolleyes: I saw it in Johnny's catalog and I may...

Niiiice garden bills! and...great scarecrows! :lau

STEVE! I was JUST debating on whether or not to plant some black-tip wheat for next year! I was reading today you have to cut it for drying before the heads completely dry out...? How do you like growing it? is it easy to harvest/dry? do you use it for decoration? sell it? Enlighten us.... :D

I found about half a dozen hornworms on 1 of my tomato plants last night....:/ They are hard to spot! Had to sit there and stare at the leaves a few minutes before I saw them....hopefully I got them all. I have sunflowers in the garden but they are not blooming yet, and they aren't next to my...

Thanks for the comments everyone! And thanks vfem for all your info! :bow $3 sounds like a good price. Sounds like I'll be making an early morning drive to the garden before I head to work tomorrow....:rolleyes:

Hey guys, I need some help! :) My pattypan squash and zucchini plants are growing and producing like crazy, so I picked some last week and sold some at work for 25 cents each. (I'm just trying to cover costs for now and share the bumper crop w/ coworkers, not trying to make big $$$ here) Well...

Yeah, I'm not planning on growing them....just curious! :) I've read about the saffron harvest in Spain and all...but never knew what the crocuses liked as far as growing conditions...

ugh. :th I just noticed the powdery mildew starting on my zucchini/squash plants.....may have to try the milk recipe this year...

Sweet! :cool: Let us know how things go.... Were they hard to find or is availability just really low? Will they grow anywhere other crocuses can grow?
