POLL: Fall Veggies
Comments (42)These days with all the GMO products, pesticide/herbicide etc in commercial foods, the only food we trust to eat is that which I plant, tend, harvest and can or freeze myself. Its a shame it has to be that way and its alot of work, but I feel better and safer eating my garden/ orchard's produce than anything from the store. So this fall I have beets, haricot vertes, spinach, lettuce, kale, garlic, sweet potatoes and snap peas still going strong. Everything else is finished for the year except for apples and quince in the orchard....See MoreMay Garden Checkup - How is it Going?
Comments (31)Well...here are some of my flower beds. Along the fence line are lots of different types and colors of lilies. In between them are bluebells. Right now it's just all greens but I'm seeing little buds down in there. Out from the fence a bit I have a Wisteria & several rose bushes & peonies. Under my shade tree are the hostas & that greenish/whitish stuff is the patchmaster. Hopefully I can get some grass in there! This last pic, I still need to do some weeding outside the wood border, but right now it's just not a huge priority! Slow but sure it's getting there.......See MoreWhat to do with "too much" room
Comments (16)Wow you guys are amazing! I have the chooks, and we are getting sheep next year, probably pigs too. We also have ducks and geese around the pond, turkeys and rabbits, The garden was put in this year with the help of the greenhouse and I am raising tomatoes, peppers, all the spices, lettuce, cabbage, etc. in the greenhouse. The Garden has had throughout this year; tomatoes, potatoes, onions, garlic, black beans, pumpkins, cantaloup, zucchini, yellow squash, patty pan squash (not sure what to do with them!), winter squash, sweet potatoes, corn, edamame, kidney beans, purple hull peas, beets, and just planted carrots, kale, kohlrabi, collards, and mustard seeds. Oh and broccoli and brussel sprouts too. The garden I got. I can figure out what to do there. It is the yard that I have trouble with. We have an orchard planted and a 200' long grape arbor. Next year I plan on building the second greenhouse and starting an aquaponics system in it so we can raise fish as well. We are sustainable farmers. One of my dreams at one time was to have an olive grove but they don't do well in my climate here (SE VA). We have a 1/4 acre pond on the premises and my wife wants a fire pit and swing gazebo built there (basically a gazebo with porch swings around the exterior and a fire pit in the middle). I love the idea of blending a theme throughout the property. Thank you all so much. Lots of good ideas here!!!...See MoreWhat vegetable plant is this?
Comments (2)Leaf shape is like collards, but I've never seen them 'on the vine' until now. Apparently it's what they call 'tree collards' since usually they grow in a large clump similar to a cabbage. It's not kale. 'Regular' kale leaf is very ruffled and dinosaur kale leaf is very 'bumpy'. You can compare your pictures to google images....See Moreembeadke
