This is so silly. I just realized we have this KITCHEN Gardeners International group and we have no category with the things we DO with this food, how we cook! So here we are with a Recipe Exchange.

I was turning over some soil in my garden this morning and ANTS! EVERYWHERE! I don't want a nest in my veggies, I'm not going to use chemicals around my food, so I don't know what to do to get rid of them. Any ideas?

I thought it might be good to have a group that discusses our pest problems so that anyone can find it if they need it.

Anoush,

I am glad you enjoyed my waterfall photos. I would have to agree that the NC Mountains are beautiful and time of the year. I have spent many days in the backwoods of the NC mountains and have not been let down yet. I wish you and you garden well and thank you for the kind words about my business....................Chris

We got a couple inches. All gone now. I *think* we have them protected....guess we'll see. LOL We have a part of the barn that Peter is renovating as a chicken coop. Hope to let them roam within reason. Building a aviary for just-in-case. Also running a hot wire around the lower edge in case someone wants to dig under to have a checken snack. Ann

Has anyone else considered living by a 100-mile diet (only eating foods grown/raised within 100 miles of your house)? I just listened to a really amazing podcast on a couple from Vancouver, BC who did it for a year and am inspired to try it myself...

I think one major thing to consider when gardening on your flat roof top or balcony, is the weight of the pots/compost and the strength of the structure you are placing them on.

Hi Gillian I totally agree about the sweet potato leaves. I thought they were great to eat as well.

HOW TO - ADD A LINK

Several people have experienced difficulty putting working links into comments and blogs etc and I know it is clumsy.... so here is how you do it.....

First type the text you want to appear....  ie  IAN'S PAGE

Then go back and highlight the link text.

Then hit the hyperlink button...a pictogram of a chain link.

Your browser may intervene and request permission to allow temporary scripting or some similar message.   Allow it and go back and highlight the text again
