Many KGI gardeners have established potager gardens. You can find them in the forum archives. Does it count if the garden I planted in rows has become so overgrown (plants, not weeds) that it looks non-traditional now? :o/

Stumbled into taking over a public vegetable demonstration garden so I decided to try something I've always wanted to try in my own garden, a potager style garden where there are no traditional "rows" which is carry over from the invention of larg...

I agree, trust in nature. At the same time, in response to the previous poster mentioning six packs with tomatoes on the plants - that's not natural. That means those plants have been in those six packs way too long. The plants are under stress be...

While this may work for some, it may not work for others. I wouldn't necessarily recommend just any local store. Regular groceries sell softneck varieties of garlic because they have a longer shelf life than hard neck varieties. But hard neck vari...

Hi Nat. Welcome to KGI. I lived in Springfield for a while. Absolutely loved the cold (40* below windchill) and snow (4 ft and drifts to 6 or more)! I lived just around the corner from the Bass Pro store and corporate. This is a really great group of gardeners. Everybody has so much to share. I hope you like it here. Leave lots of comments! And best gardening wishes!

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...

HOW TO - ADD A LINK

Several people have experienced difficulty putting working links into comments and blogs etc and I know it is clumsy.... so here is how you do it.....

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.

Your browser may intervene and request permission to allow temporary scripting or some similar message.   Allow it and go back and highlight the text again
