The little ones WILL produce a new plant, as evidenced by all the volunteer potato plants around my yard and compost heap. Some of them are worth keeping even if they are in the most inappropriate of places, such as the cats toilet..... ;) pax john

You know that to store crop of potato you should keep the particular rules. Don't place potatoes in storage just soon after haversting. You need 7-10 day to cure all wounds in potatoes and then prepare a storage room. How to store potatoes

I thought those KGI members responding to this discussion might like to know that besides this one, 4 other KGI discussions on this same topic were posted (all) at about the same time. Some people have been responding back and forth between them, wh…

Nick is right. Write to our government officials. Ask them what they know, what they think, and what they're going to do about it now that they know how you feel.

I think it is inappropriate to make political statements and start political name calling on this forum. Agree or disagree with a government proposal that relates to home gardening, food safety, etc., and debate the pros and cons, but don't group p…

Joy,is isn't about Obama failing, it's about the government failing to make the big ag people take care of business, and it's about people in government following the money to make the little guys jump through more hoops while letting big ag off the…

the NAIS isn't part of this. That's a separate thing. I don't agree with that either but there's no indication it's going anywhere, and in fact HR 875 has been shelved and won't get out of committee. So BREATHE.

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…

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.

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