The last two years of raising green snap peas have been a disappointment. I just got the second small meal from them today and they are already beginning to die. Small meals are fine because I like to cook them with my fresh new potatoes and it doesn't take a lot for a meal but I would like to...
I also wished I was closer! We are away from home for a few days and I am worried one of our hives will swarm. We looked in them Monday and I saw some queen cells so know they are preparing. Just hope they wait till we return and give us a chance to catch them.
I have clicked all around this topic as I contemplated MY PURPOSE! I think part of it is too remember my grandmother who I strive to be like. She loved her gardening! Being in nature is like a psychiatrist that I don't have to make an appointment with or pay the big bucks to get diagnosed. Also...

Didn't know radish could be pest deterrent! How and what?
I had some to look like that also. Some really big ones and odd shapes but good to eat anyway!
Looking good! I have put up 33 half pints of freezer jam and my mother 22 jars. I have also frozen 7 quarts and given away a couple gallon to the person that shared sweet potato slips with us. More to pick tonight! I will not let them go to waste, maybe Christmas presents! Our children are...
