Warren replied to Diane Rose's discussion 'Big Downtown Garden in Lexington' in the group Kitchen Gardeners Bluegrass

Well, I didn't mean to kill the discussion... C'mon folks how do these ideas sound to you? What have yo been thinking about? Tough time of the year for this, what with all of the weeding, planting, watching, snacking on thinnings, and other stuff ...

Warren replied to Jane Gibson's discussion 'Moles!!!'

I'm leaving the moles in my gardens alone. They are welcome to all of the grubs they can find. If they want some earthworms, too, well, I guess that's ok - I have plenty. Lots of big ones, too. More compost and straw makes more worms. I've got lo...

Warren replied to Diane Rose's discussion 'Big Downtown Garden in Lexington' in the group Kitchen Gardeners Bluegrass

Diane, That's a great idea. If you go back and look at the Mayor Newberry's speachifying, you may remember his talking about building a new town hall (Mayors Office.) Not, of course, that the town needs a new Mayor Office building, however I ful...

Warren replied to suki's discussion 'what is your favorite tomato?'

I like San Marzano for drying. Romas are good, but San Marzano, although a little smaller, taste better and are non determinate so they produce longer. My feelers were smooshed, last year, by the local tomato expert. He informed me that San Marzan...

Warren replied to Melissa's discussion 'Dog poop in the compost pile?'

I wouldn't waste the seed. Just a bit of garden weed grass on top would be fine. Maybe with a bit of dirt still on the roots - for fun. I can picture the headlines now - "Neighborhood Yard Depressions and Holes Mysteriously Disappearing!" Or mayb...

Warren replied to Paula's discussion 'Let's talk groundhogs people.......'

Good luck with the electric fence. It didn't work on my 4 legged neighbor. It may be the thick hair, or maybe he likes the jolt. Whatever it is, I've seen him waddle through the wires, and he doesn't seem to notice. I'm planning on running a coupl...

Warren replied to Melissa's discussion 'Dog poop in the compost pile?'

I have seen folks use the poo to fill holes and depressions in the yard with very good results. Before too long the grass grows over it, or just put a chunk of grass weed from the garden on it to get it started growing. Amazingly, it doesn't seem ...

Warren commented on Kitchen Gardeners International's group 'Kitchen Gardeners Bluegrass'

John, I have been told, by a couple of suppliers, that the blood meal and bone meal are going to be much more expensive because of the new regulations in place to try to stop the spread of mad cow. Something about it needs to be pasteurized and ce...

Warren replied to L. J. Snyder's discussion 'Tomatoes' in the group Kitchen Gardeners Bluegrass

Hi John, Cats and hunters, but that's cruel. Folks roaming the yard slow them down, too. (They might as well weed, while they're roaming, but we know THAT doesn't happen around here.) I find that sometimes planting REALy HOT little round PEPPERS...

Ok Folks, I guess it's time to get busy - again. Let me re-phrase that - Oh Boy !!!! Spring is on it's way! I got to work in the garden the other day! I moved a Grape vine, pruned the Raspberries and Blackberries, fertilized the Asparagus (alas,...

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.

Maggie commented on Sumitra Pande's album 'My Garden at Kathmandu'

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 ...

Tomatoes

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.
