That is how I feel, and I bet all of us do. Having something in the garden now helps to prolong the use of our stored products so they last farther in to the spring. I ran out end of March last year, and even though the weather was nice and things...

I feel the same way. During winter we still eat ok as we use alot of pulses but during the cold weather there isnt much around in the gardens or the farmers markets so when the spring and summer veggies and fruit start to show it is wonderful. Tha...

Do not ever give up

Because you never know what will come of your efforts. I am so grateful for the fall plants I just threw out in the garden after an exhausting summer season of gardening, harvesting, preserving, and WEEDING! But the fall crops are so wonderful and it is such a pleasure to still be getting fresh food straight from the earth to the table. It will not last too much longer, but for now any green or colorful fresh food is a gift from God.

Here they come!

The tomatoes are in, slowly the first ones are turning, a blush, a tinge of yellow, pink, paler green, and then overnight a burst of color. Then off the vine to finish in the house. The bins look like art, only, you cannot taste art> I cannot wait for dinner tonight.

Local Lunch Today

Today was a joyful lunch spent around a table strewn with vintage pieces of fabric and seated with guests all of whom enjoyed a beatiful artwork display of local fruits, vegetables, and homemade sweet potato biscuits with local country ham. Fresh Cucumber water was our beverage. All of this was prepared by Miss Marhta Stamps, a jewel of our community in Nashville,Tennessee who has gathered us like minded local food seekers to join in the village of seekers. We shared information, stories, food i… Continue

You do a beautiful job with your catering. I love the farm fresh buffet style that you put out. Do you do a lot in advance or do you have a lot of help-it looks like way to much work for one person. Is much of it from your garden?

If you are talking bush beans, about all you can expect is 2 good harvests. With pole beans they just keep growing and blooming and making beans until frost. However they take longer to get going. In a year when I am real organized and the weather is good, I plant bush and pole beans at the same time. By time the bush beans stop the pole beans kick in, and I don't have to worry about succession plantings

there is a spray you can make with milk that helps with powdery mildew, I have never tried it, but you might want to google it.

oops I meant my peppers were just starting to color up (turn red or yellow).

Hi, I'm starting to put together a few guidlines on using the discussion forum on here.

I don't want to make our community hide bound by rules and regulations but I think that, as the community has grown, some explanation of what is expected is needed.
