Thought I would join as I live in a 1952 house with a root cellar (18 feet by 3.5 feet) built (intentionally) into the foundation. It's in the corner of the Northwest foundation by the driveway and right now there is a crack in the drive that is all…

Rip it up. Compost it. Was re-reading my old Organic Gardening magazines (1994 and on). One man made great garden soil that way. After you rip it up, smother it with weed barrier cloth covered with wood chip mulch. Eventually that ground can be plan…

At work, no access to the latest photos of the kitchen garden expansion. Here is a link to my "real" blog with some photos to date. Knit Haven/ Funny how work gets in the way of all the things I REALLY want to do but it's the only means to those things. The dichotomy of our existance.

Hi Linda,
That's Stella...she knows how beautiful she is! My daughter was making a craft project for school and Stella - who always needs to be the center of attention - had a seat right in the middle of things. She really is a lovely cat though - despite being female and Siamese!

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.

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.

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.
