I am green with envy!
How many different types do you have?

In your opinion, which ones taste the best?

My grandmother had a one acre strawberry patch in Northern Illinois. I used to pick strawberries for her. As you say, she had straw under all of her plants. It used to be a rush when a snake would pop ...

Thanks for the tips. Otherwise, I would have planted transplants as soon as they were big enough instead of in January. I tend to err towards getting things that aren't too frost sensitive in earlier ...

I just bought some Alpine Strawberry seeds. When did you plant them? So glad to hear about someone growing them here and getting fruit.

I have some regular strawberry plants (everbearing) that I bo ...

I took your and a friend's advice and put compost on the orchard trees earlier this Spring and then covered that with mulch. I can really see the difference in my trees this summer. They are holding u ...

We just put the first batch of compost on a tree. It took about 1 month to make it. It could not have been easier.
It is so cool to turn what would be garbage into something that I usually have to ...

I will find a spot and give them a try.

I have a couple of baby trees in a pot and before I transplant ...

As for the composter, so far so good. Things are breaking ...

It looks like I need a chipper/shredder. We have several good sized desert type trees on our property along with around 50 or so various fruit and nut trees so I have a good source of things to use.
...

Well, mine isn't that fancy. Some of those things cost a fortune. We got mine working now. So far, so good. It was a real nightmare to assemble though. We would have been better off without the direct ...

Thank you. We went to the Agritopia gardens and there was Chard and Artichokes all over the place. I have never eaten it but will give it a try. It looks like you can start planting it in September.

Thank you both! This was started over 2 1/2 years ago and we finished it this Spring. It's 25' wide X 50' long and the structure is all metal, stone and concrete so I hope it keeps everything out. We ...

Bkaus, good to know. Right now I am experimenting with my garden. Currently I am trying these "mesh tarps" at Harbor Freight because they were available right away, cheap and finished around ...
