Pippa said… - Hi Jared
I own some land which I will be moving to in a couple of months. I have started some vegetable plants and have been looking into different ways of space saving and such. I will trellis cucumbers and hopefully if I can lay my hands on some genuine SA gem squash seed, I will try them too. I have had success with them here before, but have no more seed. If you have any idea where I can get them please let me know.
thanks
Pippa

Cynthia said… - Yep, some snow, a lot of ice, mostly dealing with the windchill up here on the Cumberland Plateau / Crossville. I'm putting a brick / sand floor down in my greenhouse, gonna try vertical growing, stacking pots and stuff. My greenhouse is only 6ft. x 10ft. Picked up container vegetable seeds from Burpee Seed and Gurneys, very high yield plants. Planted them in the bed garden to see how they would produce and if they had the flavors we liked, very pleased with the results! Planning on taking a lot of pictures!

Joe Lamp'l said… - hey Jared. That's what I'm hearing. My gardening friends from Twitter are raving about all the great snow. It completely missed us! I flew in last night and Greensboro was getting it but it died before I got to Mount Airy. Once again, we missed out. Hope you are well and enjoying this very special day.
Thanks for checking in.

- I planted caribe in the spring, then saved the tiny ones from the harvest and replanted those in the fall. I have read that you should not save your own potato seed b/c it can spread disease, but since my potatoes looked healthy, I took the risk. I plan on buying more certified seed in the spring and planting them on the opposite side of the garden just in case. Here is a link to a photo of the spuds, they were beautiful.

This nice thing about containers is you can move them in when the weather gets really really bad. I do this with a bay tree, it only comes in on really cold nights.
Do you have a community garden near buy where you can rent a plot? I did this one year. However it was really hard for me to not be able to visit my plants several times a day.
