HI Muhammad, Thank you for the mixture, my brother has bamboo growing wild on has fram. He hates it, said I could cut it all down. The bamboo only gets to 2.5 inches, but that should work for the pen. Yes Glenn , My ribbirs are rare, hard to breed...

Nice photo's. I like the goathouse made of poles & mudbricks? I would Like to make this for chickens & ribbits. I also wonder if this fence would keep wild deer out of my peas. I am looking at over $500.00 dollars to make it out of saw timber & wi...

Hi Muhammad, I was told that tomatoes are only an annual because the cold killed it. That the tomatoes plant grows year around in the warmer parts of the world.Thank You for confirming this for me. This is what I like about this site, it makes the...

Hi shery, The reason farmer put thing in the cellar was it stayed 55-60 degrees year around & a dry cool mostly. The best thing is to store any veggies where air can circulate. One way is to build a 2"x4" frame with cross runner every 24", you can...

Here is tropical australia I have always lost my rosemary during the wet season. I am astounded to see it is part of the mint family. Mint loves wet feet! I planted rosemary in the top of my herb spiral which is filled with mostly crusher dust i.e...

I love rosemary! I use it in lots of dishes and my spaghetti/lasagna sauce wouldn't be the same without it. I also love the smell of it on my hands after I've picked it. I keep an almost completely edible garden/yard, i.e., the flowers get space o...

Joel, hello. The weather in Arizona is changing. It's been as low as 18 degrees at my house and as high as the low 80s in the last month. Snow is predicted for Flagstaff in the next few days. But, there is a monthly Master Gardener meeting next Thursday night so we're focusing on gardening rather than the snow.

Thanks, Kate, for posting what you've saved! How did the seed saving for everyone else go this year? I saved seeds from several herbs that aren't ---I don't think--- heirloom varieties (fennel, dill, basil, flat-leaf parsley, cilantro) and some z...

Hello Sumitra, Thankyou for sharing your pictures. Your students are beautiful. I thought of you the other day as I watched a documentary about Nepal on the television.

Hi Sumitra, It is great to see your photos and bee hives. Like you I long for equality for all people on this planet. If all people could grow their own vegetables it would be a great thing. It is very hard to know that lots of people do not have ...

My father-in-law Fred Pond died ten years ago. He loved his garden and I still miss him a lot especially at this time of year when the seed catalogues start arriving. The Pond family lived on a seven acre homestead of sorts in Westford Massachuset...

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.

The cooking shows are entertaining, but that's all. Some of my favorite recipes started with notes handed down from family. They're still as good as ever. James Beard, Joy of cooking, and Professional Chefs Manural are good references. I have over...
