Lukey, my sympathy. I feel so sad when any crop goes bad, or falls victim to critters and pests. We can do our best, but there are things beyond...
Sjoerd, I'm almost fanatic about weeds too, but the heat makes it difficult to persevere. Glendann, we use rods made from wire clothes hangers....
I was so impressed with Mart's tomato until I saw Brad's. Shucks, I would settle for either. I know you must have strong supports for vines with...
It seems folks almost everywhere are in need of rain. Most of all, Colorado. We have green tomatoes here in Michigan. A neighbor has one ripe,...
I will jump in here with my two cents worth, We use dried egg shells, all blended in the blender, at the base of the tomato plants. Also Epsom...
Sjoerd, your strawberries look edible. Right off the computer. You spoke of rain. We sure would welcome rain here. The clouds hold promise, but...

Bush beans If space was limited, I would perhaps pull the first crop out, but since I have room to plant a second crop, I really enjoy harvesting...
Potatoes I read that I should plant potatoes where the garlic was the past year, so thats where I plant them. Your method sounds great. I hope...
Potatoes Cool, it took three years before we finally got it right and actually grew more than a handful. Just when you decide you've had it,...
Good job, Sjoerd. I hope the pic doesn't make anyone sick. LOL The first time I saw a Hornworm covered with the larve, it honestly did nauseate me.
Sjoerd, I love your pictures and admire your garden work so much. Iam envious of the beautiful onions as ours only grew to about golf ball size. I...
