At 2:43am on August 28, 2009, Kathryn said…: Hi Joe looked at your web page and your 25 dollar garden idea is great - there is a seed company in Australia that sells a packet for the unemployed - they say it is enough to feed a family of four.

keep up good work

At 2:54pm on April 20, 2009, Melissa said…: Hi Joe, I miss your show "Fresh From the Garden". I looked forward to it faithfully. Your show is the reason I started gardening with raised beds. Will it be on again this year?

At 10:45am on January 20, 2009, Jared said…: Aww, man, I hate to hear that. I'm hoping to get out to the JC Raulston arboretum this afternoon and take some pictures. Hope all is well.

At 10:22am on January 20, 2009, Jared said…: Hey Joe. How much snow did you get? Here in Raleigh it's still coming down.

I am a writer and a regular contributor for Herb Quarterly magazine - perhaps you have read some of my articles? My next one will be on Adaptogen Herbs and then on to Reviving the Victory Garden. I was lucky this past Summer to do a panel interview with five awesome herbalists: Susun Weed, Rosemary Gladstar, Gail Faith Edwards, Stephen Buhner and Christopher Hobbs!
Come on over and peek at my Back Yard Kitchen Herbalist group when you get a free moment.

At 9:12am on November 29, 2008, Beva said…: Thanks Joe. The ants can live happily outside... but when they move into the house I have to take action. I think they are carpenters.. as we live in a very wooded area, and there are lots of them chewing up old pine stumps and trees. This spring I am going to trap some and take them to be identified. Meanwhile, I would appreciate any suggestions!!!
Sunny frosty day here!!! Bright blue sky!!! Love it!

At 8:48pm on November 28, 2008, Beva said…: Well, I can honestly say... I am one of those people who used to use chemicals, I admit it. But, I have realized that what I did was horribly wrong.
We have carpenter ants and I am trying everything under the sun to avoid nasty chemicals. Do you have any suggestions? I have tried the boric acid and sugar. That seemed to work until this past summer when we had 29 days of rain... plus the prior winter was very deep and protective snow that enabled the ants to thrive.

KG Day - Help us choose a date!

Kitchen Garden Day has traditionally been celebrated at the end of August which is a great time for gardens in temperate, northern climates but not a great time for many other gardeners around the world (e.g. August is winter in the southern hemisphere, monsoon season in India, too hot for many gardeners in southern states, etc.).

We're exploring the possibility of changing the date to the spring and would like your input. Please answer our poll here.

If you did this well with your first garden just imagine what next year's harvest will be like. But why wait until March? Here in Florida we can be growing so many great things in the winter months. (beets, broccoli, cabbage, carrots, collards, must…

Joel LeGrand commented on Michelle W. Flannery's blog post 'For KGI Rhubarb Growers and Eaters: Rhubarb Recipes'

I may have to grow some Rhubarb just to see if it is something I will like. It is in all my catologs & I was told that it will stand on it on after the frist year.

Tomatoes

I think this might need it's own category, don't you? Tomatoes are one of the most popular things to grow and we've been placing them in all kinds of groups, but the fact is we almost all grow them, and they have specific needs.
