This is about the Haiti aid package that will be voted on. https://secure.ajws.org/site/Advocacy?cmd=display&page=UserAction&id=481 I didn't use their form letter, but still wanted my politicians to think things through. Giving GMO or hybrid seed would end up causing the farmers to be even...

I'm using diatomaceous earth to defend my stuff from cabbage loopers. This is still in the early stages, so it's a little bit "wait and see".

I have a tiny garden spot so I just planted 2 Roma plants and 1 of Delicious (not sure if that one is heirloom or not). They were freebies, so I can't complain. 3 plants for 2 people will be enough for us.

" do they taste like chicken " no- but some of the birds that try to steal all those berries might... They are worth growing. To distract the birdies from your other trees at least. They tasted sorta bland, compared to some of the other berries, but I still enjoyed them.

To save lots of money, and improve your soil- get lots of grass clippings, old leaves, wood chips, or whatever you can get along those lines. Pile them thick on the areas that you would like to make rich soil. Add a cup of the worms (the red worms they sell for bait are fine) to the pile...

I posted this on Sufficient Self but it fits here. A community garden just started near me and I joined right away! Got a 4ft x 8 ft raised bed. I already had some . . . (sooooo many) seeds, then got some more. Might have gotten carried away. Most of my seeds are not organic, but they are...

You could use the price of an equivalent bottle(s) of dandelion wine as their "value". Enjoy the leaves too if it's not too late for them.

My first name means Laurel and I was born in a dragon year. The combination was perfect for me.

I could really rant too but didn't feel like it today. What book, in case I missed it?

Getting "organic seeds" is a guarantee that you wont end up with GMO type seeds. They are not allowed to be labeled organic - no matter what the growing conditions are in the growing stage. Corn and soybeans are Very frequently GMO crops. Get heirloom varieties on those if you don't want GMO...

What do you want to get rid of?

Thank you. I moved to a much smaller place (his apt) when we got married and still miss my old garden. The good news is I recently started "helping with the landscaping beds" at these apartments. So I get to play in the dirt again in a really big -yard-. They already have some herbs growing...

I have 3 seedlings now- 1-2 ft tall on a small balcony and will bring them inside for freezes. No problem carrying them this winter. I didn't word my question well. I want to know - can I keep them small enough to fit in a apt or small greenhouse later, and still get fruit? We have 8-10 foot...

I have 3 avocado seedlings potted. We're in zone 7 so I'll need to bring them in on really cold nights. How big can you grow them in pots?

I'll even pop out of lurking to say I like your garden pics. Thanks :bouquet

They are good stir fried with minced garlic, a little sesame oil and some soy sauce.

That's pretty. I can see it filled with started plants, a few small fruit trees, lots of flowers. A good potting table and hanging strawberries tempting me to snack on a few. :watering My dream- is already posted on "my page".

Sorry but you missed some info about this. Many of the crop varieties our grandparents grew up eating were going extinct. Because the seed companies weren't selling them- just promoting ones they had developed instead. People finally started trying to save the old species. Now we have a...

Good luck ! Let us know how it goes.

We have lost so many species of plants in the last few generations. Some of them may have been naturally resistant to bugs, diseases, or bad weather conditions that we have to deal with. We will never have the chance to find out if we only grow the varieties a few companies carry. They are...
